Basics of Scrying
INTRODUCTION
Scrying is an ancient art of divination for the purpose of receiving information. The act of scrying is usually achieved by gazing, into or upon, a crystal or a reflective surface then allowing the physical eyes to relax, and letting the inner psychic eye open to receive desired visions and information.
The information may come through in the form of images, symbols, words, scenes or moving pictures. The power of scrying lies in the scryers mind’s eye, not the tool used itself, the tool is merely used for focusing your mind and freeing your third eye. Scrying is a powerful psychic tool which can bring hidden knowledge, clairvoyant abilities, and act as a portal to other planes of existence. Scrying develops your clairvoyant abilities and is especially helpful in strengthening the third eye. For centuries, many cultures around the world have used scrying techniques for divining the past, present and future, in this sense scrying constitutes a form of divination.
Scrying means getting into a relaxed, meditative state and focusing on the shapes and symbols we see, and trying to interpret what meaning they may have for us. Scrying is also a great tool to use for personal growth and guidance. Not just for the future, but for the present time, as well as the past. With practice, you can easily learn to use these powers to make decisions and to see what lies ahead. You can also discover past lives and see your angels and spirit guides. You can find solutions to problems you are struggling with, learn more about your past lives, and of course, see glimpses of the future too. Scrying and divination are not just for witches and spiritual workers either, anyone can do it.
Scrying tools allow you to achieve the state of mind required for entering a trance, acting as a focal point for visualization, which can become a doorway into the astral plane. The tools often used to “see” are water, polished precious stones, crystal balls, or mirrors.
To begin with, the reader should understand that scrying is as much a learned skill as is reading, riding a bike or driving a car. Practice is necessary to teach the nervous system how to do it, even where the person has some innate talent. As with other learned skills, there is a learning curve. At first there will be a long period when you don’t seem to be making any significant progress. Then things will suddenly fit together and your practice will improve markedly in a short period of time, before leveling off again at something close to your highest level of skill.
SCRYING HISTORY
Scrying has been used for thousands of years by different cultures, scrying comes from the Old English word descry meaning “to make out dimly” or “to reveal.” There have been, and are, many purposes for the activity; to see into the future, to find lost objects or persons, and to track criminals, among others. Ancient Egypt used scrying in their Initiations, this included water scrying, ink scrying, blood scrying, dream scrying, oil scrying, and mirror scrying. One legend states that the goddess Hathor carried a shield that could reflect back all things in their true light. From this shield she allegedly fashioned the first magic mirror to “see.”
Scrying practitioners, sometimes called “readers” or “seers” have been used for a variety of purposes, including to predict distant or future events, to give character analyses, to tell fortunes, or to help a client make choices about current situations and problems.
Nostradamus is believed to have used a small bowl of water as a scrying tool, into which he gazed and received images of future events. This powerful tool is now being used for therapeutic purposes. Dr. Raymond Moody has utilized scrying techniques to allow people to access an altered state of consciousness so they can connect with the spirit world and departed loved ones.
The Shahnama, a semi-historical epic work written in the late 10th century, gives a description of what was called the Cup of Jamshid, used in pre-Islamic Persia, which was used by wizards and practitioners of the esoteric sciences for observing all seven layers of the universe
