PRESENTATION ON
SCRYING-

 NOTES

Scrying

Scrying is a method of divination. It consists of gazing into a crystal, a mirror or some water for example, anything shiny really, in order to enter altered mind states...A good cliché that best describes scrying is the gypsy fortune-teller and her large crystal ball. There are different scrying tools, like crystal, water, ink, oil, even fire.
Scrying works on the principles of the Ganzfeld effect. If you have ever had to stare at a blank wall until you began to feel dizzy, to hallucinate and see patterns, then you know what the Ganzfeld state is!
The degree of success with gazing depends on one’s ability to concentrate. The effort taken in this enterprise will eventually pay off, do not give up if you don’t “see” anything the first time you attempt to scry!
USING A CRYSTAL BALL
There is no specific method to know which crystal ball suits you, it will “call to you” when you see it. Once you decide on one, choose a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. The lights should be dim, it’s preferable that you only lit a couple of candles only, placed low and behind you. Remember to sit in a comfortable chair, you should be perfectly relaxed. Take a deep breath, clear your mind from any thoughts, and gaze intensely into the crystal. This might cause you to blink or bring tears to your eyes, so try to relax them, closing them about half way. Now is the perfect time to link your third eye to the crystal: visualize a ray of light coming from between your eyes and entering the crystal.
Now watch for the clouding of the crystal that will come from a small light. The clouds will develop and then clear until you begin to see precise patterns and pictures. Do not try to interpret those visions immediately, you will see a whole sequence that will lead you to the answer of your question. Don’t waste your time writing everything down, it’s best to use a tape recorder because sometimes the flow of pictures is too fast.
Remember, stay relaxed and try not to confuse real symbols with what you want to see, i.e. psychologically induced patterns.
MIRROR SCRYING
Mirror scrying is quite common, and it is an evolved form of water scrying. The early mirrors were made of polished copper or silver, brass, tin foil or mercury behind glass. John Dee used a black mirror of obsidian.
Because mirrors are linked to the moon, they should be backed with silver. The size of your scrying mirror doesn’t matter, but the shape does, so use either a round or an oval mirror.
Most seers prefer using a black mirror. Simply take out the glass and paint it black. You can also use a black bowl with water in it. When you put it back in the frame make sure the glass part is to the front. When using the black mirror for scrying you do not want to see your reflection. Thus you should leave the mirror on a table and look at it from an angle. Look into the depths of the mirror as though you were looking into a bowl of water. At first it may appear grey than colors will come and go. With time and practice you will be able to see images. The visions may even exist outside the mirror, either surrounding it or surrounding the scryer.
CLOUD SCRYING
Now that is an original scrying method! Cloud scrying is essentially done on days when cloud conditions are good. Having too few or too many clouds is no good for scrying. The best is when the clouds are thick. Find a nice location to lie down and relax. Try not to focus on one cloud but rather allow the clouds to drift across your view. Visions will come naturally to you. Personally, I think people who look up at the sky and see “only clouds” without guessing what the
From the Babylonians, oil scrying found its way to the Egyptians and Hebrews. The latter used four kinds of water mixed with oil. If you wish to use that method effectively: if you call upon the heavenly Gods then use rainwater; if you invoke the terrestrial Gods then use sea water; if you invoke the Osiris or Serapis use river water; and if you call upon the souls of the dead then use spring water.

SMOKE SCRYING
Now that method is a bit more believable. :-) Smoke scrying is best done while relaxing in front of a fire. Do not follow the smoke up but rather allow the smoke to form patterns within your gaze. You will see visions of future events. The Native Americans practice a special type of smoke scrying. It's called a sweat lodge; water is poured over hot rocks in a tent to create steam. Then people sit naked around the rocks to inhale the steam. The combination of temperature, humidity and elevated levels of carbon dioxide produce a state in which visions can arise. Needless to say, this method is dangerous.
WATER SCRYING
This is a very ancient scrying method. The Celts used it quite often. What you need is a large, deep bowl made from glass, brass or silver. You must set your base on (preferably) a tripod made of laurel boughs for best results. Fill the bowl with clean, fresh water from a stream. The water may be stored in a vessel and used again. The important thing is not to collect the water during the day, but rather during the night, and preferably on a full moon. This is done because of the close connection between water, the moon and the Goddess. You should also have a wand. Use either a branch from a bay or hazel tree, or laurel. The end of the wand should be covered in dry tree sap or resin. Dip the end of the wand into the water until it becomes wet. Wet the borders of the bowl. Gently drawing the rim of the wand around the bowl it will cause it to resonate. The resonating bowl will cause circular ripples to form in the basin. It is up to you t interpret the visions.
