Spiritual Cleansing

[pessimist]

I recently began to wear a gold pendant I inherited with some other jewellery. I don't know who it belonged to originally, pieces came from several people down the generations. But since wearing it my life has been a disaster, and so many problems. I've taken it off and already feel better. Is it possible that it had bad energies and if so can it be cleansed, or should I just get rid of it?

If it upsets you then sell it. But I don't believe for even a moment that it is a cause of your issues. Life has its ups and downs. You've simply hit a bad patch recently.

Make up a tea from dried sage and soak the pendant over night. In the morning hold it in a candle flame until it is black say 'this pendant is mine now and I give it my positive energy' then wash the soot away in running water. Should be fine if it isnt scrap it for the gold value as it is not for you

I'm afraid you'll have to cleanse your entire life, start by donating all your money and chattels to the Church of the Holy Tora, only they can offer you salvation.

Many antiques are filled with negative energies and require specialized cleansing to release these energies. Sell it for scrap value and buy something else. Trying rituals you know little about could make things worse.

Gold pendant with "negative energies" that needs "specialized cleansing".
As I have a scientific background, I'd like an explanation of these "energies", please.

Sorry, but I think you are not really locked into reality. Bad luck doesn't necessarily mean that it is caused by wearing a particular pendant. What do you think that 'energies' are? If you are really worried, then just don't wear it. I think this is just superstition, but you should do what you think best. Good wishes.

not a personal recommendation, I should add.

Co-relation is not causation.
Last week I ate eggs for breakfast everyday and had an accident in the works van.
This week I ate toast and everything has been fine.
Eggs caused me to have an accident??

The human mind has a tendency to seek patterns. (which is why we see jesus in a piece of toast or a shape in the clouds)
And the reason why we see separate events seemingly co-relating.
Wear the pendant and *actively* look for the *good* fortune in ur life and you will see/find it.
Associate it with bad luck and you will see that too!

If you are not happy wearing it, sell in for scrap and buy something you like.

Performing a simple ritual is about changing your thoughts towards it, you will see the positives when you direct your thoughts towards that end result. I believe that is how magic works by changing minds not matter

Sell it and donate the money to charity.
