After the answers had been given, Kassie looked out across the tables. “Well done. A lot of excellent answers. As you have heard, there are multiple gemstone and crystals that can be used for pendulum divination. Some more feasible than others. We also know that what might be a good fit for one person, would not be the best choice for another.” She took a few steps back to get a better view of the class.

“Before we start our activity, I have one more question for you. Now that we know some crystal and gemstone options, we need to know how to cleanse them before making the pendulum. What are some ways you could cleanse your magical crystal or gemstone?”

OOC: Question 2 is to name one way you could cleanse a magical crystal or gemstone. Catch up posts are always welcome, just post as if they have been in class the entire time, unless IC consequences are the goal. You have about 24 hours before we move on to the mini activity.

Skyler put her chair back on four legs again. Ways to clense a pendulum...
"Wouldn't the sun work just as well?" Skyler asked.

It’s one of my favorites for pendulum divination. Very good, Ms. Swann.” Next up was the first year Ravenclaw. “Emerald is another great choice, Ms. Parker. It’s also a pure activator of the Heart Chakra.” Kassie gave the young lady a look of approval. “Yes, Ms. Newton, another great option. That’s also a great observation. A more relaxed person will better be able to find the answers they are looking for.” Kassie did her best to not show a reaction to the young man’s reference to the moon and cheese. “Moonstone is another great option. Although, I would recommend it more to the ladies. It’s connected to the goddess Hecate, the goddess of childbirth, and can calm you when you are feeling a bit jittery.” She shook her head. “But I guess a big slice of cheesecake could do some good as well, and that sort of looks like a moon.” She gave Max a big smile. “ I like your way of thinking, Mr. Carden.” She loved when students thought outside of the box. It inspired her to look for answers in unlikely places, the same way some of the most important discoveries had been made. He was speaking as his hand shot up in the air. “Yes, a diamond would work. They are tied to both air and fire and they are connected to intuition. You are correct that there needs to be some weight for the pendulum to work properly but, I fear you would have to be rather wealthy to purchase a diamond large enough to use for our purposes.” Kassie’s eyes landed on the fifth year Ravenclaw, wondering what had the young lady looking a bit distressed, then hoped she had just been deep in thought since her answer to the question was spot on. “Very good. Rose quartz would be an excellent choice and is connected to matters of the heart. One thing to keep in mind with rose quarts is to not let it get too much sun or it will fade.” The head boy raising both hands quickly got her attention. She wondered if he was simply over eager or if there was something off with him that day. First the stumble, then the double armed raise with hand scratching. Kassie made a mental note to check on the young man after class. Just to make sure all was well. “Yes! A personal connection to the crystal or gemstone will greatly improve your results. It’s not a must, but if at all possible, you should choose one you have a connection to.” She nodded as he continued. “That is correct as well. Each stone does have special properties and meanings, and a lot of them are directly connected to chakras. Very insightful, Mr. Ashburry-Hawthorne.” “It is true that you could use another object as a weight. However, you would lose out on much of the power of the pendulum that way. I would only use a coin or key if I were in a bind and had no other way of obtaining a crystal or gemstone.” Kassie looked to the rest of the class. “Ms. Calrissian does bring up a good point. There are times when proper divination tools will not be available and you will need to improvise with what you can find.” The last hand she saw go up belonged to the fifth year Hufflepuff. “Very good. Yes, any gemstone could be used and they do have different powers. Some have greater, amplifiers, as you said, than others, so choosing wisely is key. You are correct as well about labradorite boosting several areas. It’s also connected to the crown chakra.” Text Cut: the quiet bunch After the answers had been given, Kassie looked out across the tables. “Well done. A lot of excellent answers.
