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.

Pendulums of the type that my grandmother owned are an interesting piece of history that has been around for centuries. These were not only pieces of art that were created to be beautiful; they were largely used in dowsing and divining. 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. Many people used a pendulum as a part of their daily routine, a combination of the practical and the spiritual in their everyday lives.
