If you are passionate about spirituality, divination and magic, you probably heard about the scrying mirror – a magic object that has been used for gaining spiritual knowledge since ancient times, but you might not know how it works or how you should use it.
Despite the fact that scrying mirrors have been used for a long time, they are surrounded by mystery and knowledge about how to use these magical objects have mostly been kept a secret.
If as part of your spiritual quest you feel like you should try the art of divination, you are in the right place so keep on reading, as I am going to share with you powerful information about how to use one of the most fascinating divination tools – the scrying mirror.
What is a scrying mirror?
A scrying mirror is a divination tool that has been used since ancient times with the purpose of receiving information from the spirit world about any event from past lives, or the past, present and future.
This tool acts like a portal between the medium and other planes of existence and offers them hidden knowledge in the form of visual flashes.
The scrying mirror is also called a “magic mirror” and it is said that even Nostradamus used one in order to predict the future.
How does a scrying mirror work?
The word “scry” comes for the old English language and it means “to reveal”.
The name of the technique itself suggests the fact that scrying is based on spiritual information that is revealed to the practitioner.
In order to scry, one must first enter a powerful concentration state, in order to receive those visual flashes, but other magic objects can be used instead of a black mirror. For example, another form of scrying is predicting the future by using a crystal ball.
Crystal balls are a lot more common than scrying mirrors. While there is a lot of misconception around crystal balls, they work by the same principle. In the past, some magicians would simply use the reflection of water instead of a mirror, trying to see images in its’ reflection.
As scrying has been used since ancient times, the first such mirrors were made from polished metals such as copper, brass or silver or even from polished obsidian.
Black obsidian scrying mirrors are still quite popular, but most of the time people would just use a simple mirror that is backed with black instead of silver.
In the process of scrying, the mirror becomes a gateway between person and the spiritual realm, but the information is brought by the spirit guides and guardian angels that work alongside the practitioner.
Scrying also improves the user’s clairvoyant abilities and it helps developing the Third Eye.
Rules to guide you through your scrying process
As scrying is a complex, ancient magic rite, there are certain rules to abide to in order to make the process smooth and effective for you. If you are thinking to try scrying at home, make sure that you respect the following rules first:
- Cleanse the room in which you are going to do the scrying by smudging it with sage, burning frankincense or by doing a Reiki cleanse
- Never use the mirror for anything else than its intended purpose
- Never let anyone else look into it (only during the rite of scrying) and keep it in a silk bag when it’s not in use
- Clean the surface on which you place the scrying mirror with alcohol and a soft cloth
- Before scrying always make sure you will not be disturbed by anything or anyone (lock the door if you must)
- Burn a lunar and psychic blend incense before the scrying session
- Light two candles and put them on the table in front of your mirror. Choose the colours of the candled according to the work you intend to do (orange for communication, blue for healing, purple for receiving psychic messages etc.)
- Place the mirror and the candles on a wooden table, and sit in front of it on a wooden chair
- Always make sure that you have enough time to do your meditation thoroughly and that you reach a deep level of concentration
- During that meditation ALWAYS ask for help, guidance and divine protection from your angels and spirit guides
- Turn off all the light sources in the room before you start scrying, except for candles
- Make sure nothing reflects in the mirror’s surface
- Keep a journal to write down your experiences
The Scrying Ritual
Prepare the room according to the previous instructions. Then, sit in the wooden chair and write in your journal your intention for this scrying session.
Your intention is what you are trying to achieve or find out – for example: seeing my previous life as a woman or the day when I am getting married (in this life).
After writing it down, start your meditation focused on your intention, and then slowly relax.
Close your eyes and breathe in and out, and with every breath feel how your muscles relax.
Relax every muscle group- facial muscles, chest, arms, legs, back etc. and feel how each of them relieves…
