About this product
Some questions you already half know the answer to. This is a planchette made small: the heart-shaped pointer of the old spirit board, cut from solid brass, pierced at its center with a small round viewing hole, and hand-filed to a smooth edge. It rests in the palm or hangs at the throat, a tool's shape turned into something worn rather than used.
On a talking board, the planchette drifts under resting fingers toward a letter, a yes or a no. Folklore sees it as a device for the questions one half knows already, and reads its movement as guidance rather than command. Ours is made to be worn as a charm, not set on a board; what you ask of it privately is your own affair.
Details
- Solid brass, cast and hand-filed in the workshop
- Roughly 35 grams without its chain
- Heart-shaped, with a round viewing hole at the center
- Sold as a curiosity; no medical or scientific claims are made
How to use
Wear it on its chain, or carry it loose in a pocket where your thumb can find the smooth brass edge. Handling darkens the metal to a warm, old-gold patina, fastest where your fingers rest most.
A small, private charm in the shape of a tool for asking.
