One of the means to compel obedience from the spirits.
A hand bell, inscribed several words and characters upon the inner surface of the bell, write names of spirits or planets on them, then swing the bell and ring it, call out to the spirit you wish to summon, the bell can attract or repel numerous spirits, each bell crafted for a certain spirit, the words or characters changed for each session, one may have several bells for attention or repealing.

It's a mystic tool that helps us communicate and connect with the unseen, much like that of a telephone used to talk to spirits of the other side.

Pendulums
These are sometimes used to talk to spirits and entities, much like the ouija board this device spells out messages from spirits. But unlike the ouija board, pendulums are much easier to cleanse and entities often don't attach to them.
