Scrying Mirror

Scrying Mirror

Scrying is one of the oldest known forms of divination. The black scrying mirror, or magick mirror, is a powerful psychic tool. It can bring the user hidden knowledge, clairvoyant ability and can act as a portal to other planes of existence. It can be used to access your inner self, spirit guides and oracles. Scrying comes from the English word "descry" which means "to make out dimly" or "to reveal." 

 Your Magick Scrying Mirror should only be used for divination. Keep it covered and stored away from everyday energies. Keep it clean and dust free. Traditionally, Mugwort was used to clean a scrying mirror and you can even store a bit of Mugwort with your mirror for protection and energy.

 Some people "lock" the powers of their mirrors to their use alone by charging it with a secret, magick word. You can do this while cleansing and consecrating your magick mirror by placing your finger on the mirror's center and saying your magick word three times. Between speaking each word, remove your finger from the mirror and breathe through the spot.

The methods of scrying differ but after a period of concentration on the speculum visions, mental images, or impressions appear. Frequently the visions are symbolic and the scryer must meditate on their visions to interpret their meanings. 

To use your magick mirror, place a candle behind the mirror or light two candles on either side of the mirror. (Personal preference). Hold your hands over the black surface and whisper your magick word three times. Gaze into the mirror's blackness -- not on it. Another method is to sit under the full moon with your mirror. Catch the moon's reflection in the black mirror and begin scrying into this reflection.
