How to use

You'll need a pendulum that you've programmed for yes/no answers, this chart and some Tarot knowledge or a Tarot reference book.

1. Clear your mind of expectations and predictions.
2. Specify that the source for your pendulum’s information is your higher self. To do this, you can say, “I call upon the higher self to answer these questions. I seek only truthful answers, which are aligned with the highest and greatest good for all concerned.” Feel free to tailor this language so that it fits with your own intention and terminology.
3. Place the chart on a flat surface in front of you. If possible, sit up straight and put both feet flat on the floor.
4. Decide on your topic of inquiry. Examples: a lesson for the day; guidance about a trip or a project you’re preparing to undertake; clarity about a relationship or problem.  
5. Decide on the type of Tarot reading/layout you will use. See next page for some examples of Tarot card layouts for readings.
6. Decide how you want to phrase your inquiry. Once you have decided on the wording, you may find it helpful to write it down before proceeding. Here’s an example of ways to phrase your inquiry: “Talk to about my upcoming trip to San Francisco next week.” Or, “What is today’s life lesson?” Or, “Help me understand................(fill in the blank with a topic you seek to clarify).”
7. Grasp the top bead or fob of your pendulum between your thumb and forefinger and arch your wrist slightly. Hold your pendulum so that it dangles about 1/2 inch above the hinge-point (the spot that the arrow points to). Steady your elbow on the table, but not your hand that holds the pendulum. Try to hold very still, but don’t worry if your hand and the pendulum shake a little bit. This won’t affect the outcome.
8. Ask your question, keeping your elbow and grip in the same position.
9. Read the answer: While holding your pendulum in position directly over the hinge point and letting it swing freely, observe its motion. While mentally focusing on the question, allow your pendulum as much time as it needs to pick a direction. When it’s ready to answer, and as it gains momentum, the pendulum’s motion will take shape and show a repeating pattern:
   - A steady swing that repeatedly passes through the hinge point in a straight line, tracing a path between the hinge point and the outer edge of the half-circle is indicating the card shown on the chart directly below the pendulum’s path. Write this card down and, if the reading/layout you’ve selected has more than one card, proceed to the next card in the pattern for your layout until you have them all. When you have all the cards for your reading selected, use the your favorite Tarot book to decipher the overall meaning. 
   - If you are unsure about a selection, you can place the accompanying sheet of Tarot card images on a flat surface and locate the card you are questioning. Hold your pendulum about 1/2” above card image. If your pendulum is already programmed for yes/no answers, you can simply ask, “Is this the right card?” Or, another way to confirm is to say “Confirm if this is the right card.” If your pendulum swings clockwise, it’s confirmed. If it swings counter-clockwise or is unclear, you’ll want to go back to the chart and re-ask or rephrase the question. 
   - If the pendulum’s swing is not a straight, through-the-hinge-point swing, but instead, goes in a circular, clockwise motion, it’s indicating that 
   all cards are potentially valid, so clarification of your question is needed. Rephrase it and try again.
   - If your pendulum swings in a counter-clockwise circular motion, it is indicating that it cannot say, or that now is not the time to ask.
10. Clear the pendulum at the end of each question by touching its weight-stone to the palm of your free hand or another surface.
