## About
Ask the question plainly, hold still, and wait. This pendulum is a faceted teardrop of solid brass, cut so its flat faces catch and scatter light as it turns, hung from an eighteen-centimeter chain fine enough to run easily between two fingers. A small bead above the weight gives your hand something to hold without touching the brass.The pendulum is dowsing scaled down to the size of a hand. Cunning-folk and diviners in many traditions used weighted plumbs like this to search for water, for lost things, and for answers that resisted plainer methods. Held over a question or a chart, it is said to answer through its swing: a circle one way for yes, another for no, a straight line for something undecided. At twenty-five grams it moves in a clean, steady arc rather than a nervous wobble.DetailsSolid brass, faceted, workshop-madeEighteen-centimeter chain with a grip beadTwenty-five grams on its chainComes with a printed chart of the traditional swing directionsSold as a curiosity; no medical or scientific claims are madeHow to useHold the chain loosely between thumb and forefinger and let the brass settle to stillness.
