[Rec] PENDULUM: The Trembling Hand

PENDULUM: The Trembling Hand
Recorded September 2026
Facilitated by Jessica Chappell
Prerequisite: None

A pendulum offers something irresistible: a direct answer.

In this one-off class, we explore pendulum divination through a mix of history, occult theory, and practical experimentation. We look at dowsing, the Golden Dawn’s Ring and Disc, the ideomotor effect, and the role of intuition, expectation, and desire in the answers we receive.

Students learn how to establish and test yes, no, and uncertain responses, ask clearer questions, recognize bias, and conduct a simple divination of their own.

No previous experience is necessary. Bring a pendulum if you have one, or use a necklace, ring on a chain, or other small weighted object.

At 22 Teachings, Jessica leads the Book Club and creates tarot-based ritual classes that invite students to step inside the symbols so that what is read on the page becomes lived, embodied magic. Jessica has always been a seeker, and motherhood initiated her into a new octave of magic. Becoming Bisou’s mother gave her an even clearer sense of why spiritual practice matters in real life, in real time, with tiny hands tugging at the hem of ritual.

Her relationship with the unseen began in childhood, collecting crystals and reading tarot as a way to listen beneath the surface of things. In 2017, she began formal study with Naha at 22 Teachings, where her work in Hermetic Qabalah, ritual magic, and tarot became a dedicated path. She approaches the tarot as a living book of wisdom, a mirror for our human experience, and a practical tool for choosing the next right step when the soul is quietly asking for change.
