Make and Use A Pendulum
You don't need a fancy piece of jewelry to use for a pendulum. Find a piece of chain, ribbon, string or yarn around 9 inches long. You'll also need something for the weight or bob at the end. You can use pretty much anything you like: a crystal or stone, an acorn, a pendant, or any small solid object that you can fasten to the end of your cord. Try to tie it evenly, so the knot isn't off to one side and that it hangs as straight as possible. Once completed, burn some incense (choose your favorite scent) and dangle the pendulum in it to purify and consecrate it. Now it's ready for use.

Pendulums are very personal divination tools, and they don't work the same way for everyone. You need to take the time to try yours out and learn how it reads. Hold the chain or cord and let the weight hang freely. Wait for it to settle and be still, then think of a question that you can quickly verify or one you already know the answer too. Concentrate, and the pendulum should start to move. Take note of how it moves (clockwise, sideways, whatever) and that is the movement for the answer to your question. You'll need to give it several trial runs in order to get the feel of the answers.
Once you think you've gotten the hang of your pendulum. Make a prediction about something you know is going to happen soon and see how accurate you are.

Make and Use A Scrying Mirror
Find yourself an old wooden or metal picture frame. Make sure that the frame is a dark color, as shiny frames tend to reflect in the finished mirror. An oval or even better a round frame of about 12" in diameter is preferred. Don't get one too big; you will want to carry it around sooner or later. With very little effort these can be found for a couple of dollars at any second hand store, antique shop, or Goodwill Store. Flea markets, garage sales, and swap meets are a gold mine for these frames. Don't bother if the frame is a little beat up, you can always paint or refinish it, but be sure the glass is unscratched and clear. For a dollar or two glass can be replaced.

Buy a can of high gloss spray enamel paint. Read the label and make sure it is good for glass. Some paints are not. This can be found at any hobby shop, or hardware store.

Remove the glass and clean it well with a good glass cleaner. Let it dry for several hours.

Place the clean glass on a large piece of newspaper, being careful to handle it by the edges so as not to get finger oil on the surface. Spray paint the glass using quick even light passes back and forth until the glass is covered completely. WARNING! Do not allow the paint to run! If you do the painting outdoors, be sure it is a sunny windless day. You do not want the paper or other debris to blow onto the wet paint and it takes several hours to dry so as to be handled.

Apply a second coat if necessary, but for the best effect it is best to do this in one coat. The mirror effect will be flawless that way.

Place the glass back into the finished frame and you have your Black Scrying Mirror, every bit as good as any you can find for sale.

Empower the mirror with a Full Moon Spell or any spell which works for you. Once consecrated it is infused with your own personal magnetism and should not be handled by anyone else. If someone picks it up, re-consecrate it.
