Scrying: What You Receive May Make Sense Tomorrow

Okay, let’s imagine this: a black mirror next to a candle flame in a very quiet and relaxing room. You can also spot a dark bowl with settled water. Now, it is time for you to sit and simply gaze into the reflecting surface, and perhaps, after a bit you tell:

So, what now? Am I supposed to see stuff?

Scrying can be very cool, so make sure to not discard it simply because “it didn’t work the first time.” Sometimes, there are things in life that take their own sweet time.

Scrying is no less, as with everything, it requires practice, but really, you only need to set an intention to connect and let your mind and emotions settle… and from here, with a little bit of patience, you will find results.

If you allow yourself to receive and open up completely, your psychic senses will start to kick in.

Scrying may use a polished black sphere or reflective water to support quiet observation beside a single candle.

The trick here is that gazing releases some pressure on your analytical mind, so as you let go, you will start connecting clearer. For example, you may notice an image within your mind’s eye, this is good enough already. Other people may feel an emotion or evenreassurance about an event. In the end, there are different ways to pick up on things, this is why you need to open up and allow yourself to receive in the best way you can.

There is one reason to write all down: perhaps, a message you receive today will be worth and important tomorrow, so make sure to write all that came to you, but please don’t judge; just jot it down, even if it doesn’t make sense (it might down the line). Make sure to keep your impressions separated from your intentions but in the same notebook so you don’t lose information.

You have a few tools to choose from: a black mirror, a crystal ball such as obsidian, a dark bowl with water, oil or ink, or a candle flame. I believe water in a dark bowl is a good place to begin. If you already have access to an obsidian crystal ball, that is a great option too. Choose one and stick with it while you give yourself time to practice.

Now, getting started can be quite simple:

- Make sure the room is clean and pleasant, including ambience and energy as well as any fire hazard steps in case you plan to use a candle.
- Once everything is settled, sit down and take a few deep breaths. Let each breath help you relax a little more than the one before it.
- When you feel it is time, gaze at your chosen object. Blink whenever you need to; this isn’t an eye-drying staring exercise!
- Allow yourself to receive without immediately judging the impressions. You can make sense of them afterward; for now, notice what comes through.
- If a voice recorder lets you record without losing the trance, use it. Otherwise, write everything down when the session ends. Choose the approach that lets you remain with the experience.
- When you start feeling tired or you’re no longer invested, finish the session. You can try again tomorrow, without making yourself continue today.

A scrying journal can preserve recurring images and impressions after each reflective practice.

Also, make sure you approach this respectfully toward yourself. This is your own energy, and how you feel matters. Avoid scrying if you’re intoxicated or have slept poorly. If your emotions are flaring and you can’t put them aside, leave the practice for another time so those emotions don’t get in the way of what you perceive.

Close by giving thanks, stating that the practice is complete, and putting your tool away. Then do some grounding, such as drinking a glass of fresh water. I suggest keeping at this for two or three weeks to see where your skill is and go from there. Give yourself that time before deciding what your first impressions were worth; something that feels unrelated today may become useful when you return to your notes.
