What Is a Pendulum Board and How to Use It in Your Divination Practice

 
A pendulum board is a magical divination tool used to receive clear, focused answers from your pendulum. Typically marked with responses like “Yes,” “No,” “Maybe,” and “Rephrase”, or with symbols, numbers, letters, or magical keywords, pendulum boards help bring structure, precision, and visual clarity to your readings.

 
Used together with a dowsing pendulum, the board allows you to connect with your higher self, spirit guides, or the universal energetic field to receive intuitive messages, spiritual confirmation, and energetic insight. Pendulum boards are especially useful for yes/no questions, spirit communication, spell guidance, and chakra or energy readings.

 
How to Use a Pendulum Board:
Sit comfortably and hold your pendulum by the end of the chain, keeping it steady over the centre of the board.
Ask a clear and specific question. Begin with simple yes/no queries to establish your pendulum’s movement.
Observe how the pendulum swings—the direction it moves will point to the corresponding answer or symbol on the board.
For boards with multiple symbols, letters, or detailed layouts, you may gently allow the pendulum to lower or “drop” onto the board, still holding the chain, allowing it to touch or rest on a specific section or symbol. This method can offer more direct responses in complex readings.
Cleanse your pendulum and board regularly, especially after spirit communication or energy work.
