Hi, Kimberly

I have just one that I use regularly, it's old crystal beads that ta street artist put together for me. I don't generally find any need to clean it but I imagine you could use incense, sage,reiki, clearing it with your breath - anything that works for you.

I have 2 dozen pendulums that I bought from the Percell's school in New Mexico. They are my favorite and I lose pendulems easily so always want to have access to one that I like (although I personally believe that any old thing will work just as well, I like the Percell's pendulum colour, size, weight.) I occasionally have to take one of them to the jeweler to have the round wire at the end (where I hold it between fingers) soldered. I also have a bullet pendulum I bought from Raymon Grace in Santa Fe which is fine but I like pointed pendums better for finer work on charts. Joe Smith sells awsome bobbers. I highly recomend them. Especially the ones made of .. some kind of thicker metal material (you can tell I'm hardly a handy man) instead of copper wire ones that have the coiling close to the handle. I'm not doing tribes too much but email me at my tribe address and I'll try to dig up Joe's email. He's very reasonable. You can google < "Joe Smith" pendulums > & probably get his email address. He has a spiral pendulum that is pointed and nice but it's brass and I like silver coloured pendulums better personally although Joe's brass spirals work just fine. I never clean my pendulums (psychically - they don't get dirty physically) but If I though they did need it, I'd use whatever I believed in as a working cleanser. Including using another pendulum. I've never sensed any need to spiritually clean a pendulum but that's just me. Best,

Haven't cleaned mine yet, but just last night bought a book on increasing accuracy with pendulums: Pendulums and the Light by Diane Stein.

She can be heavy on the metaphysical/spiritual/Goddess side of things, and so it is with this book. Still, it has a lot of good information, including details on various ways to clean pendulums. She highly recommends *sea salt,* or a highly concentrated sea salt mixture; also pyramids, direct sunlight, ocean water (since you're in L.A. this might work for you -- put pendulum(s) in a hosiery bag so they won't wash away), etc. This last she recommends as the best method, so you may want to try it. Unfortunately, there aren't any oceans near Denver <g> so I have to improvise.

There are more details, and she also discusses how pendulums can "die," so you may want to check the book out. If the library doesn't have a copy, it's readily available at Amazon and probably your local metaphysical shop. I don't know where you live in L.A., but I used to frequent the various locations of Psychic Eye for all my metaphysical needs. :)
