Pendulum Communication Circle
I've gotten a few questions about how I do my pendulum circle to speak to fae and thought it would be best just to share with everyone. This is just my way of doing it, and feel free to modify in order to fit your needs.
Candles work just as well as stones. In fact, I started with candles but I turned to stones since they were easier to transport since I travel often.
Obviously, you need a pendulum to use this circle or something that can use used as the sort. Sometimes necklaces work, sometimes not.
Apparently I made my circle look more like a Celtic Endless knot (as referenced in the photo) which works well for me. My friend does something similar but she takes two stones leave four so that it's diamond shaped instead. Like I said, feel free to modify.
Every time I establish a circle, I say everything out loud; what everything represents because it invokes who I'm calling.
To begin at the top, the stone is a crystal quartz to establish a starting point for my circle. It's also a good amplifier stone for everything else, when I used candles I made this one white.
The second layer, the stone on the left is a red tigers eye that I use to represent the Welsh god Beli. On the right, the stone is moon stone which is used to represent Dôn. I always ask for their protection to protect the circle I'm creating.
I establish the elements. The right one is citrine, a air related stone, that I use to represent air. On the left is black tourmaline to represent earth, and the lower, middle is calcite to represent fire. I also ask each element to protect the circle. I don't use water because it doesn't feel right to me, but sometimes I'll use it instead of earth.
With the circle set up, I announce my rules. I say something along the lines of, " The stone representing air means yes, and the stone representing earth means no. the stone representing fire can be a maybe, don't know, or do not wish to answer. (You always want to give them an out lit, not just yes or no) Lying or untruths are not permitted in this circle. If there is an attempt to lie or tell an untruth you will be cast out of the circle and be unable to return." In this section, if you want to talk to only one entity I would suggested establishing that in order to prevent others from entering.
After establishing, I hold the pendulum up in the middle and begin my questions. Sometimes it takes awhile for an entity to feel comfortable using the circle and sometimes they jump right in.
When I close the circle I announced that I will be closing the circle. I tell the entities they are free to leave the circle (you don't want they stuck in there!) and that I appreciate their time and effort. I also apologize if I made anything difficult for them. Then I back track from end to beginning, thanking each element and entity that was used to protect the circle.
This is just one way that I use to communicate with fae, and how I began to communicate with them. Also this is how I get their names and the spelling of their names too. It's tedious but it works.
