This unique product was only ever available from Oswald The Runemaker. It was an advanced dowsing or "pendling" tool for use in divination or discovery. The design was developed in co-operation with my good friend and colleague Mark Porter of Casa Grande, AZ. 

It was an octahedral pendulum about 3in x 2in (100 x 50 mm), crafted from solid wood and the original tree bark was often retained on the central vertices.

The faces of the pendulum had the eight runes most appropriate for sending and receiving. The top was fitted with a little metal ring and a 10 inch length of chain terminating in a small wooden fob decorated with the Oswald bindrune logo. A small 12-page introductory booklet was supplied with the pendulum. The 8 runes were empowered by runic ritual to perform the dowsing function.

Beware of imitations! You may find other versions of the runic pendulum on the www, but the original Oswald pendulum was the only one that had been empowered by runic ritual.

The pendulum could be used to locate objects, or for giving yes and no answers to questions. It may also have helped to identify an illness or highlight a dietary deficiency. A pendulum held over a map or sketch could find the position of a person, building or object.

Ley lines could also be dowsed by pendulum.  These are lines of energy which criss-cross the surface of the earth. Ancient religious sites and many churches that are built on older sacred sites are situated on Ley lines. They can be positive or negative in nature. Some are large and powerful while others are smaller and weaker.

Living or working on a negative line can have an adverse effect on some people who feel ill or depressed as a result. If you know where the Ley line is, you can move your living or working location away to one side of the line. Some times a few yards is sufficient, but I have heard of victims actually moving to another house!
