Paranormal Pendulum

So this one I got from a sinti friend of mine which you might never meet online because he'sa busy fellow and doesn't like the internet much. Maybe some of you know that Romani folklore is packed with vampire myths so don't be puzzled when you find some people referring to this Ritual as 'Vampire Pendulum'! Spooky ,eh?

What you'll have to do:
Leave a Pendulum exposed to the full moon for three sequenced nights with a clear sky. Thats it.


Your Payoff:
You can use this Pendulum now as sort of an paranormal geiger counter. Prick your finger and let the pendulum swing when you suspect your surrounding to contain something not from this world. In a clean environment you might lay out some tissue to prevent getting your blood droppend all over the place.

How to use it:
Do as described and watch the results.
If you get the feeling that your hand goes numb and unmovable while something is sucking out your blood: Congrats ,you found seomthing paranormal!
If you feel nothing strange at all: There is nothing paranormal around you. Your surrounding is as ordinary as reality tv.

Some details about the pendulums behaviour: If you feel it sucking but blood is still dripping from the pendulum the paranormal event is either gone for a time or you're not near enough. Watch the drippings. When the drops are falling on one side especially often ,this might be the direction you have to go to find the event. When you feel the sucking but no blood is dripping from the pendulum at all chances are good that you are in direct reach of the event and arrived your destination. Wait until you can move your arm again and put the pendulum away in a salt-filled box. Don't leave it on your body! The amount of blood the pendulum takes varies with power of the event and time gone by since it happened. A minor ghost for example will take like a shotglass full of your blood over a time of twenty seconds and won't be recongnised by the Pendulum after it is gone or banished for more than an hour. A methuselah or a shifter on the other hand will cost you up to a half litre and will indicated even weeks after its dispersal!

The Dangers:
First of all it obviosly sucks your blood. However the amount is hardly enough to kill you unless you do it really often and in an highly supernatural environment. You also should not do thin when you don't expect anything otherworldly involved. My friend told me that the Pendulum actually sucks you dry when used without a paranormal source nearby more than three times in a row!
So don't be stupid.

PS: Oh yes I almost forgot. There might be some of you long enough in business to suffer some HEAVY supernatural pollution. When using this ritual you might get a response from this literally every time you use it. In this case you have to keep in mind that the bars are set higher for you: a strong reaction indicates a medium surce nearby ,a medium reaction indicates something small ect ect.... On the plus side you can't get eaten by the pendulum for the three failed trys!

Yeah, I never liked using this. I have low blood pressure, so the few times I did use it, I got dizzy as shite.

I guess that the ritual is not for anybody. Thanks to the fact that I spend way too much time with this s.h.i.t. I don't have to worry about the three times rule anymore and the blood loss is kind of okay once you learned to use this Ritual (If you can even call this one) only in tactical positions to pin down an entities hideout. It is actually a bit like minesweeper.

PS to RQ: Could we please remove this swearing blocker? its no fun to post like this.

A really little lttle bit ,promise! =3

Wow. You were really busy there ,eh?

What is the pendulum supposed to be made of?? Anything that should be avoided?? I have an assortment of something called rainbow crystals(??) which are supposed to have purification properties (which is mostly bollocks if you ask me) but I still wonder if I could use them because hey, why have them lying around, as well as their association with light and "shining through" and all...

I was told that metal works best ,silver in best case. Never tried crystaline structures but I guess it would not have the effect wished for.

Interesting... 83

The Ritual is not that dangerous if you stick to the rules but when experimenting with this (and I know you want to) keep in mind that this is still a blood sucking artifact we are talking about o.ô

Yeah, I'm aware of that so I'll try not to do stupid things!! But I guess it's flattering that you're so worried about me?! ;3

You should. Not everyone gets this much credit from me =P

Hehehehe ;//3
