A pendulum in the merkaba form, a three-dimensional star made of two interlocked tetrahedra, cast as an orgone piece: metal shavings and peridot chips suspended in resin. It hangs on a chain for divination and pendulum work. About the size you would expect for a working pendulum, made in India.
Three modern ideas meet in this one object, and it is worth being clear about all three rather than blurring them into mystery.

The Spiritual Significance
All three of this object's ideas are modern, and we would rather tell you that than dress them in a borrowed antiquity.
The merkaba, as a personal energy field of counter-rotating tetrahedra, comes from late-twentieth-century New Age teaching rather than from ancient Egypt, whatever the marketing says; the Hebrew word merkavah, chariot, belongs to a quite different and much older mystical tradition that these objects borrow the name from. Orgone descends from Wilhelm Reich's mid-twentieth-century idea of a universal life energy, and modern orgonite, resin with metal and stone, was developed later still, in the early 2000s. Peridot is the one genuinely old element here: a real gem-quality olivine, the August birthstone, which Judy Hall places at the heart.
What the object actually is, then, is a piece of modern devotional craft: a pleasing, symbolically dense pendulum. As a divination tool it works the way any pendulum works, by giving small unconscious movements something to express through, which is a real and useful thing and does not require any of the surrounding energy claims to be literally true. We are not going to tell you it cleanses toxins from your body. It is a pendulum, and a nice one.
Ways to use it
What Is a Merkaba Peridot Orgone Pendulum Used For?
-
Yes or no questions
Hold it still, ask a clear question, and watch which way it swings. -
Over a board or chart
Hold it over the center of a pendulum board or mat and let it move toward an answer. A board helps when you're new or still learning to trust your answers. -
Picking or checking crystals
Hold it over a crystal to ask whether it needs cleansing, or whether it's the right one for you right now. -
Spirit communication
Use it over a board to ask yes or no questions during a session. -
Clearing a room
Let it circle in each corner of a room to help clear stuck energy. -
On display
Hang it in a window where the stone catches the light. -
Before each session
Drape the chain over the pointer finger of your receptive hand and hold it with your thumb. Ask a few questions you already know the answers to, like "Is the wall in front of me white?", and watch how it swings for yes, no and maybe that day. Our pendulum guide walks through it step by step. -
Cleansing and storage
Cleanse it the way you cleanse crystals. Smoke and sound are safe for any pendulum, so check the guide before you use water. Hang it on a small hook or necklace stand so the chain doesn't tangle.
Step by step
How To Use
- Cleanse it dry. Smoke, sound, or moonlight. Resin and salt water do not mix well.
- Find your yes and no. Hold it still and ask the pendulum to show you yes, then no. Everyone's are different; learn yours before you ask anything real.
- Ask clear questions. A pendulum answers yes/no and direction well and open questions badly. Keep them simple.
- Hold it steady and let it move. The movement is small and it comes from you, which is the point, not a flaw.
- Keep it from knocking. Resin is durable but the peridot chips and the points can chip on a hard edge.
Good company
Pairs Well With
- Peridot Untumbled Stones, 1 lb. The same stone loose, for a grid or a bottle to work alongside the pendulum.
- White Selenite Wand. To cleanse the pendulum without water.
- Moon Phase Pendulum Mat. A mat gives the pendulum a set of answers to point to beyond yes and no.
- Clear Quartz Points, 1 lb. The all-purpose amplifier, for a divination altar.
- White Sage Smudge Stick. To clear the space before a reading.
Before you buy
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the merkaba an ancient Egyptian symbol? Not in this sense. The idea of the merkaba as a personal counter-rotating energy field is late-twentieth-century New Age teaching. The older Hebrew merkavah, chariot, is a genuinely ancient mystical term that these objects borrow the name from, but they are not the same thing.
What is orgone? A concept from Wilhelm Reich in the mid-twentieth century, describing a supposed universal life energy. Modern orgonite, the resin-and-metal craft, came later, around the early 2000s. We describe the object honestly rather than making health claims for it.
Does it cleanse toxins? No, and we will not say it does. It is a pendulum and a decorative craft object. Its value is as a divination tool and a symbolically rich piece, not as anything that acts on your body.
Is the peridot real? The chips are genuine peridot, gem-quality olivine and the August birthstone, suspended in the resin. Hall places peridot at the heart.
How do I use it as a pendulum? Learn its yes and no first by asking it to show you each, then ask clear yes/no or directional questions and read the swing.
