Hey, there is only one shop in town that sells to spirituality. My friends and I can spend hours in there. One of my friends has always had her heart set on a pendulum, any pendulum. None of us would let her touch ours because even if her finger twitched against it we would have to bless several times before it felt right again.
Then yesterday she bought this aventurine (or averturite, I can't quite remember) pendulum. To put it simply, I hate it. I was physically shaking when she picked it up. It's hard to describe but I never want to be near it again. Futhermore, my guardian spirit who rarely speaks with words was screaming.
She picked it up and I was really nervous; she put it down and I was fine. It was really weird. Although it wasn't the pendulum and it wasn't her, it was them TOGETHER. My guardian spirits want me to destroy it(burning was suggested a few times).
If she were the type of person to listen to me I would obviously talk to her but she wouldn't listen to me even when I was shaking. I have a very bad feeling. Any thoughts, suggestions...evidence I'm over-reacting(please let me be over-reacting)? Anything?

What is not at all suitable for you
Maybe what someone else needs
Your needs are not your friends
Your friend needs are not yours

We all find a path that is ours to walk
I understand your discomfort in things
To criticise your friends choices or path
Will only push them further away from you

I agree with Hermit, you seem to be over reacting. Maybe your friend wants to access things with a pendulum that you know are the wrong reasons for her/him wanting one.

Try talking to her about the reasons we use pendulums. If you need information on them and why they are used and what they are not used for, then you can find my articles and videos here on SB.

My suggestion is to ask you guardian spirit about it. If they were "upset" about the pendulum/your friend, there must have been specific reasons. Learning more about what those reasons are will give you a better idea of what (if anything) you should do.

There's a possibility that the aventurite is completely incompatable with your friend (I doubt this would make a guardian scream, though). Or maybe it was a warning that your friend should not explore pendulum usage at all, but especially not with aventurite. It could be warning you that your friend needs more spiritual training before experimenting with a pendulum. Or it could simply be that the combination of aventurite and your friend puts off an energy that is painful/incompatable to you or your guardian.

Best to find out what caused that reaction, if possible.

how do you know if someone is spiritual enough to start using a pendulum?

[22paseabelldaps]

Just a suggestion, but could it be the energy associated with the pendulum itself? The person who made it or if they had charged it with some intentions before your friend bought it? Does your friend know how to cleanse and absolutely clear a crystal? That is what first popped into my head, that this is possibly something that has been around for awhile, may have been handled by folks with intentions that are not coinciding with who you are.

Also, in a store such as that, I sometimes get feelings of interference. Both people of good energy and good intent come in, but people whose intentions are not always pure.

Just my input.

Blessings,

how do you know if someone is spiritual enough to start using a pendulum? That's a great question. I guess the answer is, what is the person's intent or reason for using a pendulum? If it's just a parlor game to them, probably not spiritual enough. If they have an agenda, like trying to control people or prove how great they are, probably not spiritual enough.

I think (and it's just my opinion) that a person should be mature enough to consider the pendulum as a tool, and to treat the use of that tool as a means of exploration and growth.

That means treating the pendulum with respect, but also being wary of information gained through it until familiar with the energies involved. This is important, as sometimes a pendulum's answers will actually be the user's desired answers. It's very easy to unwittingly make tiny movements that cause the pendulum to swing in the direction of the answer you want or expect to have the pendulum to give.

Your pendulum accesses your higher self. So there is no prerequisite to be "Spiritual" to use it.

It is a tool to find answers when your logical mind gets in the way. Again it is ONLY a truth tester and will not predict anything for the future.
