If you want to make your own, you simply need a circle with these six directions. The length from which a pendulum is suspended helps determine the speed and regularity of the swings, which is why pendulums have been used to keep time.

Each uses a different kind of pendulum. Pendulum size can be from the very small to rather large.

I've had this idea bouncing in…. Boost your career: Improve your Zoom skills. Is there an article on that?

It's a simple matter of Yes/No questions being asked and answered. Some diviners argue this kind of pendulum use is easily manipulated accidentally.

On the opposite end of the long pendulum, attach a short pendulum, using a pivoting joint.

Hope you manage to make some. The higher = bigger sweeps of shapes. But it is doing the work for you…. It's a good idea to charge your pendulum, by placing it overnight in water or salt. I test on newspaper first. The stand also allows you to enjoy your pendulum when not in use. Let the sack swing for an hour, gently pushing the cord whenever it starts slowing down.
