A simple kit for the home witch, consisting of a mosaic candle, smudging spray, fortune teller soap and your own crystal pendulum with the charm of your choice... Lighting candles with spiritual intentions alerts the divine that you are asking for help. It will create an atmosphere of energetic support.

There’s evidence of the use of pendulums in ancient China, the reign of the Pharoahs of Egypt, and the ancient Roman Empire. Their use also moves across many different cultures, including Greek, Hindu, Hebrew, and many more.To use your pendulum you need to cleanse connect with it (personally I carry my new ones about in my bra for a bit, but just near you or under your pillow will work). To use, you hold so your pendulum hangs, without influencing it you ask it to show you ‘yes’ and it will either swing or move in a circle. Then you ask it to show you ‘no’ and it will either swing or move in a circle (NOT the same way as for yes!). Once you have established yes and no, you ask your pendulum questions. Try to keep a clear mind so that you don’t influence the answer. And make sure your questions only need a yes, or no response. I tend to ask extra questions of things I can’t control when using for something important for me… Curiously, many of the most famous proponents of dowsing were Roman Catholic priests, abbots, and bishops.
