Quick and Simple Guide to Scrying: Parting the Mists

 If you’re looking for a simple, fun but uplifting and meaningful spiritual activity to try, think about having a go at scrying.

This ancient form of divination has long been associated with Halloween. Traditionally, English maidens would gaze into the mirror in a darkened room on All Hallow’s Eve and hope to catch a glimpse of their future lover in the reflection. Pagans believe that the veil between this world and the next is at its thinnest at the time of Samhain, and scrying is an easy way to hone or develop your mediumistic skills too.

Scrying is a form of divination in which the seeker gazes into a reflective surface and either discerns images therein or allows their own higher consciousness to project images there....<<<Read More>>>....

How To Use A Crystal Ball

 It’s the stereotypical image of a fortune teller – a woman in a headscarf, waving her hands over a crystal ball and conjuring up images of that elusive tall, dark, handsome stranger – but a crystal ball is still to this day a very useful tool to have in your psychic box. Crystal ball gazing is accessible to everyone, and although difficult at first, it’s definitely something which improves with practice.

If you’re new to crystal ball gazing or learning how to scry, the images probably won’t make sense at first or you might not see images at all.  Don’t let this frustrate you. Crystal ball gazing takes time and practice to perfect.  The more you practice on using your crystal ball, the better you will get.

When you are ready, hold the crystal ball for just a moment, and relax. If you have a specific question in mind, ask it in your mind now, or just ask for you to be shown whatever will be helpful to you at this time.

Then place the ball onto its stand, or onto a dark cushion or cloth. And gaze. Literally.

You need to stare at the ball intently. Try not to blink or to look away. Hold your gaze. It doesn’t matter (in fact it might even help) if your eyes become unfocused. If you’re good at the Magic Eye pictures, you’ll be great at crystal gazing! It may take some time, but eventually you should start to see a mist form in or over the crystal ball. At this point, don’t break your concentration – the mist should clear quickly.

After the mist, you will start to see images. Remember – these images are in your mind, not in the ball itself. You may feel as though they are in the ball, and don’t break your gaze, but what you’re really seeing is in your third eye.

Don’t try to interpret the images you see as they come along, or you will break the concentration. Just let the images come and go. When the session is over, trust that you will remember the most important ones.

After a moment or two, the images will start to fade; the mist may return or you might just get nothing. At this point, you can finally relax your gaze. Look away and readjust your eyes. Then as quickly as you feel able, write down the images which came to mind, to be interpreted later. Get up, move around, turn on the lights....<<<Read More>>>...

A Word on 'Scrying Mirror'

Psychic Revelation: 'Scrying is an unusual method of divination but has been used for centuries. Nostrodamus for instance, made use of scrying for divination purposes. Although scrying was around long before the black mirror, the mirror has now become one of the most popular divination tools - especially for those who are a little more adventurous and wish to try something new. In the early days the mirror was usually made from concave glass, which is very hard (and outrageously expensive!) to obtain so nowadays it is more commonly made from flat glass. This change from concave to flat does not diminish its properties and capabilities in any way. Flat works just as well as concave. Mirror scrying is in effect a very old form of crystal gazing. Scrying is often considered one of the most difficult methods of divination for several reasons. Unlike more well known methods of divination such as Tarot cards or runes, scrying can often be much more symbolic and hence somewhat more difficult to interpret. Most often the answer to intepretation lies within you rather than within a "text book" definition...read more>>>...

A Word on 'Crystal Balls'

Divination is a magical process which utilises various tools to provide 'glimpses of the future'. Crystal Ball gazing is one of the most popular forms of divination. The ancient art of Scrying - gazing into a shining, luminous or reflective surface. A quest for knowledge of 'possible future events'.Reflective or high polished stones have been used for centuries in developing psychic awarenenss. Any reflective stone and those which seem to possess 'inner movement' can be used as 'mirrors of the psychic mind'.

The well-known crystal ball gazing seems to have derived from something even more ancient, that is haunting the quality of reflected images. Many different cultures through out history have used crystals or the idea of reflected energy to enhance their psychic power:

The ancient Greeks used the calm surface of water as a means of entering trance, which enabled them to 'see' their fortune. The ancient Atlanteans used crystal balls as an indispensable source for seeking answers to their questions and fulfilling other needs in their daily lives. Crystal balls were made of different patterns, sizes, colours, and tones. Any reflective surface might create a state of transient consciousness, as the Arab tradition has it that warriors used the polished surfaces of their swords for this purpose.

Nostradamus, the famous 16th century French psychic, also used water and mirror for divination. He often stared at the surface of water in a bowl until he believed saw images of future events.

In the Victorian age, crystal balls were used along with palmistry and astrology.

Selecting a crystal ball can be an interesting experience. Actually, it is a misnomer that you are selecting a particular crystal ball. It is, in fact, the other way round. It is the crystal ball that selects you. Crystals boost your energy and enable you to communicate with spirits or other entities. The larger the crystal balls, the stronger the energy that they release. Moreover, you can view clearer images in larger crystal balls. Crystal ball reading can imbibe you with psychic energy and psychic power. It can make you a clairvoyant. You can see the visuals in the crystal ball, both physical and ethereal.

When two persons gaze into the crystal ball simultaneously, they see different images. It is like tuning to a radio. You choose your own frequency.
