Scrying
From Meta
Scrying is a form of divination in which one gazes into a luminous reflective surface. There are several ways to scry such as:
- Mirrors.
- Stones - Large piece of crystal such as a crystal ball and a black candle. Nostradamus used to scry his information from a piece of tourmaline crystal. In ancient Mexico, flat pieces of obsidian were used to scry and during the Renaissance beryl spheres were used. Certain cultures use rum poured over the stones or mirror as an offering before it is used. The most famous scryer was probably Edward Kelly, a professional scryer who was hired and worked for Dr. John Dee.
- A dark bowl or a small cauldron filled with water and a black candle.
- Fire.
All these forms of scrying have one thing in common, the use of symbolism. The stones, the mirror, the water itself symbolizes the watery world of psychism, of water which is a psychic intuitive element. The object of scrying is to use one of these methods to help you make contact with your psychic mind and communicate with it and your conscious awareness.
