Scrying Mirrors and Bowls
The black scrying mirror, or scrying bowl is a powerful psychic tool. It can bring the user hidden knowledge and clairvoyant ability. History shows its use in many of the traditional mystery schools and oracular temples.
Scrying can be defined as the mantic art of gazing into or upon a crystal, bowl, or dark mirror, allowing the physical eyes to relax, thus letting the inner psychic eyes begin to open and receive desired visions or information. The use of the black mirrors (or a scrying bowl) is one of the best methods of achieving the state of mind required for entering trance and for scrying work. It not only acts as a focal point for visualization but can become a doorway into the astral plane.
Ways in which the black mirror can be used: To contact spirit guides; To access knowledge; For healing and self improvement; As a magickal transmitter and receiver; For divining the past, present and future; As a portal to the astral plane; For shamanic journeying; For ritual invocation and evocation; To improve visualization skills.
