ToggleThe use of divination boards with the pendulum– Printable pendulum boards
The pendulum answers by “yes” or “no”. The use of a divination board takes us beyond this classical convention, to explore further avenues with the pendulum. Most pendulum boards are in the form of a dial but rulers are also to be found.
Boards and dials have been used for divinatory purposes for a very long time. You may have just bought a pendulum and look for support to put it to use. Let’s discover together the main divination dials and their functions:
Pendulum boards: an overview
Alphabetical and numerical divination boards
The most widespread dials include the alphabet or numbers. With these dials, we can compose words and sentences and obtain numerical results. As with the “yes – no” convention with the pendulum, it is a matter of asking very precise and clear questions.
The Bovis scale
The best known and most widely used board is the Bovis Scale, which was invented in 1900. This board can also be used in the form of a ruler. The purpose of the scale is to measure the bioenergy, or vitality of the energy, of any living being or organism. It is therefore an interesting tool for therapists. On a classical Bovis scale, the waves vary from 0 to 18000 BU (Bovis Units). The vibratory intensity is divided into three scales:
- The first scale belongs to the physical world, its values are comprised between 0 and 10000 UB
- The second scale belongs to the world of energy, its values are comprised between 10,000 and14,000 UB
- The third scale belongs to the spiritual world, and its values are higher than 14000 BU.
Bovis conducted various experiment, by for example placing fruits at the end of the scale. He would then move his pendulum over the board, starting from the zero point, until the pendulum was set in motion over a gradation. He obtained values close to zero for rotten fruit and values around 8000 to 9000 BU for freshly picked fruit. By repeating these observations, he was able to establish a unit of measurement.
With the increase of the vibratory rate of the earth, a new Bovis board was created, extending to 120000 UB.
Boards for healing
There are also many other boards for diagnosis used in medicinal divination with the pendulum besides the Bovis board. These boards are made with elements from homeopathy, herbal medicine and acupuncture, for instance. Boards based on chakras and Ayurveda are also available.
Some therapists work with anatomical boards. A board may also contain psychological elements, to answer questions such as “why do I have a blockage with…? ». The board may also be used to ask what is at the source of a psychological discomfort, for example: is it emotional, relational, professional? etc. In naturopathy, therapists use metal dials to locate the source of a metal intoxication.
Geobiology boards
Similarly, pendulum boards can be used in geobiology to determine the presence of metals and other geological elements in the soil. Geobiology is also interested in the nature of electromagnetic waves to determine whether they are harmful.
There are dials from 0Hz to 10GHz, graduated to measure simple electric current, radioactivity, as well as the waves of our telephones. With the help of the dial and pendulum, the dowser determines which places are suitable for human activity and which ones should be avoided or reorganized.
Other boards
Other divination boards are available, linked to various schools of alternative therapies. Some use Bach flowers or trace elements for example. In this case, rather than assisting in the diagnosis, the pendulum board assists in choosing a remedy. There are also astrological boards with the planets, to perform astrological readings.
In a more new-age vein, there are pendulum dials with Angels and Archangels. These boards allow us to find out with which elements we resonate with, and which elements we struggle with. There are many variants of the divination pendulum boards for you to choose from.
Design your own pendulum boards
Depending on how you use the pendulum and the answers you are looking for, you may not find a ready-made board. If this is the case, you can create your own pendulum boards. To make your life easier, we have prepared 4 blank pendulum boards for you to use as you wish. You can download and print them at home 🙂.
How to use a pendulum board?
Place the board in front of you, take a deep breath, and place the pendulum over the graduation zero to begin. Stay concentrated and breathe calmly. The pendulum will naturally start swaying in a direction. When the direction is clear, you can stop the pendulum’s motion.
Why is the pendulum starting to move towards a graduation point of the dial? There are several interpretations to this mystery:
- either it is an energetic phenomenon,
- or it is a phenomenon of suggestion,
- or it is a mixture of both of the above.
Tarot card reading is based on a similar idea: we unconsciously choose cards that mirror us in the moment. Our hands are guided to a card which we resonate with. In the same way, there is a resonance between the diviner, the pendulum, the person asking the question and the answer. It is also possible that we give an unconscious impulse to the pendulum when we meet the answer internally.
However, this psychological explanation does not stand when someone uses the pendulum on your behalf. Yet something is guiding their hand. There is no universal explanation, and the mystery of the pendulum remains.
Similarly, to the “yes-no” convention and the use of the pendulum in geobiology, experienced diviners say training is required. It is best to be comfortable with your pendulum before using the boards. You can test the boards alone or with other people, and go to a radiesthesist who uses dials and boards if you need to ask a specific question.
