Scrying
Scrying is an ancient form of divination, involving staring into spaces or reflective surfaces to gain visions, insight, or knowledge.
Clouds: Also called cloud gazing, this form of scrying involves observing clouds and the shapes they form. This is used to gather special information or knowledge.
Crystal: This is the stereotypical form of scrying, but nonetheless very effective. It involves the use of a crystal object (Usually a ball or globe) to gather special meaning.
Eye: This is an unusual way of scrying. Also called gazing, this form of scrying involves looking deep within a person's eyes and observing the reflections.
Fire: Possibly the most ancient form of scrying, this type of scrying involves gazing into fiery flames for visions. This can be done through the use of a simple candle or oil lamp.
Moon: Starts with a bowl of water and an open area where you can clearly see the moon. Position the bowl so you can see the moon's reflection. Focus on the reflection, and wait for images or thoughts to appear.
Oil: This form of scrying can involve pouring oil into a dish, rubbing it on the body, or coating a dish. The scryer then observes the light reflected off the oil for information.
Smoke: As smoke rises from fire, its ethereal shapes present spiritual messages.
Water: Staring into water, images can be perceived after a time. Objects such as pebbles can also be dropped into the water to create ripples. These ripples are then interpreted.
Wax: This is done by dripping wax onto a water surface. The scryer then interprets the images or words formed from the dried wax.
WARNING: Dangerous form of scrying
Mirrors: This is perhaps the most popular, and dangerous, form of scrying. Also called catoptromancy, this involves relaxing your vision and staring into a mirror. After a while, images and scenes will begin to emerge. This is considered dangerous because of the belief that mirrors are portals, and you cannot always trust what you see come through in the images.
