This Timeless Object Holds Secrets from the Past

I recall the long afternoons in the 60’s, where I would visit my grandmother’s attic which was a store of various unique items and neglected things. One of them was a glass pendulum of a very tender look; it seemed as if it was made of cobalt blue glass and swung softly on the gold chain. This piece was beautiful and appeared to be almost otherworldly; it was as if it represented a link to an age where such objects were not simply items, but rather integral parts of people’s lives and their religious practices.

These made of wood, metal or even glass were thought to work on the subconscious part of the mind, thus helping one get answers to a particular question or direction in case of dilemma.
