Scrying
mirrors are used to channel the mind for meditation and psychic readings. These
are made from black glass or crystal. The best is polished obsidian which is
renown for its power of truth. Obsidian being linked to the 1st
chakra grounds whilst revealing a situation exactly as it is.
To
scry, sit in a darkened or moonlit room with a candle in front of your mirror.
Allow your gaze to focus on the reflection of the flame before relaxing your
focus into the blackness of the mirror. Alternately, allow the light of the moon
to fall on the face of the mirror to focus your gaze on. The lunar cycle can
effect what you see: Waxing: positive doings or changes, Waning: banishing or
ridding, Full Moon: time of power and exploring the astral plane. The Dark of
the Moon tends to either be a time of educational or introverted study or
rest time.
To
charge a mirror, leave in the light of the full moon. It is suggested that a
scrying mirror should be covered during the day, avoiding sunlight
Crystal
Balls
Pure
Quartz crystal balls have long been associated with the occult and with fortune
telling. It takes a lot of patience to learn to work with a crystal ball. You
need to be able to still the mind and be centred to prevent your own thoughts
clouding what you see. What you see within is a reflection of the person's aura.
As you gaze into the ball allowing your eyes to become unfocused, symbols,
shapes and pictures form. Trust what you see and express it. With practice, you
see more with the third eye and your physical eyes no longer fight to focus.
Crystal balls often have swirls and galaxies within, although many readers
prefer a completely clear ball whilst others prefer the swirls and galaxies
which allow the eyes to relax focus. Your crystal ball should be rested on Black
cloth so to prevent external sources of light reflecting back through from the
bottom of the ball.
Again,
there are those who consider that a ball used for scrying should be stored in a
black velvet bag and exposed to moonlight only.
