Radiesthesia

Radiesthesia is a way of finding things that you can't see with your eyes, using a special tool called a pendulum.

A pendulum is a small weight, like a crystal or a metal object, that hangs on a string or a chain. It's attached to your hand, and you hold it very still. Then you ask the pendulum a question, and it will move in response!

Different kinds of movements mean different things. For example, if the pendulum swings back and forth, that means "yes." If it swings in a circle, that means "no." And if it doesn't move at all, it means "I don't know."

People use radiesthesia to find all sorts of things, like lost objects, hidden water sources, or even health problems in the body! It's a bit like magic, but it's really just your body's natural energy interacting with the energy of the object you're looking for.

So if you ever need to find something important, just grab a pendulum and try out radiesthesia!
