Product Details Lepidolite pendulum with six-sided point on a 12-inch chain Triple Moon charm at the chain's end Composition: lepidolite, a lithium-bearing mica Note: lepidolite is soft and chips easily; handle the point with care SKU: GP6258 The Spiritual Significance The Triple Moon, waxing, full, and waning, is a modern Wiccan symbol for the Maiden, Mother, and Crone: the three faces of the Goddess as the tradition frames her. It is a twentieth-century emblem rather than an ancient one, and it has become one of the craft's most recognizable. On the stone, a plain word. Lepidolite contains lithium, and lithium is also a psychiatric medication, and the two facts get strung together constantly to imply the stone affects mood or anxiety. It does not. The lithium is bound in a mineral lattice and is not bioavailable. Lepidolite is not a substitute for medication, therapy, or professional care. If you are struggling, speak to a doctor or a therapist. What the stone honestly offers is calm as an association and a beautiful object in the hand, which is enough for a pendulum. As for the pendulum itself: it answers by small movements of your own hand, which you do not consciously make. That is the ideomotor effect, and it is a real and well-documented thing. Whether you read it as intuition surfacing or as something else, it works the same way, and knowing that does not spoil it. How To Use This Lepidolite Pendulum Cleanse it with smoke or moonlight; skip salt and water, since lepidolite is soft. Establish your signals first: ask it to show you yes, then no, and note the movements. Hold the chain still between thumb and finger, and ask a clear yes-or-no question. Let it settle, and read the swing. Store it hanging or in a pouch, and handle the point gently. Pairs Well With Lapis Lazuli Chambered Pendulum: another stone pendulum, in the truth stone. Lepidolite Tumbled Stones, 1 lb: the same stone by the pound. Blank Journal: to record what you asked and what came back. White Selenite Wand: to rest it on between readings. White Sage Smudge Stick: the arrival cleanse. Frequently Asked Questions How does a pendulum work? By small movements of your own hand that you do not consciously make, the ideomotor effect.
