MIRROR SCRYING

Mirror scrying is quite common, and it is an evolved form of water scrying. The early mirrors were made of polished copper or silver, brass, tin foil or mercury behind glass. John Dee used a black mirror of obsidian.

Because mirrors are linked to the moon, they should be backed with silver. The size of your scrying mirror doesn’t matter, but the shape does, so use either a round or an oval mirror.

Most seers prefer using a black mirror. Simply take out the glass and paint it black. When you put it back in the frame make sure the glass part is to the front. When using the black mirror for scrying you do not want to see your reflection. Thus you should leave the mirror on a table and look at it from an angle. Look into the depths of the mirror as though you were looking into a bowl of water. At first it may appear grey than colors will come and go. With time and practice you will be able to see images. The visions may even exist outside the mirror, either surrounding it or surrounding the scryer.

Thanks Delleena for posting this. It's nice to know more about it. I thought I rememberd hearing before that you are not to look straight into the mirror. I'm sure this info will help them. 🙂

awesome post!
Also, electric light is no good for scrying, candle light or moonlight is best. To amplify the effect (if you are using a mirror that is laying down) you can also add a layer of water to the top.

thanks Dee in all honesty it was my first time trying it. Had couple of wierd experiences so who knows maybe it will be something we'll try more of in the future.

I'd really like to try mirror scrying sometime. Mostly to overcome my phobia of seeing things in reflections. What are somethings that will help a first timer? Like state of mind (clear head vs. certain topic), what kinds of things would be seen?

as for the black mirror part. I have a makeup mirror that I got from target and I'm not sure how I could go about getting it to be black? Or should I just leave it as is and try?

Tim, since you're fairly new at it what was your earlier experiences with it like?

thx in advance for any help.

I must admit that I am a little apprehensive about looking into a mirror and actually seeing something! I am not sure how I would react, and I sure don't want to keel over in front of an audience!!!! 😳 Not real crazy about the idea of trying it by myself either!! As you can tell from my avatar-----I am a big chicken, lol!!!

I do have to say that I tend to lean Kyates way on this...not to crazy bout the seeing something in a mirror. The question I have and this comes from someone who has NEVER scryed 😳 ...isn't there the possibility of opening up a portal to something you don't want? Also...after the scrying session, how do you make sure any portals are compleately closed?? As such, would that be actually a safe thing for a layman to dabble with?

Thank you for posting this. To add to it if i may,if you dont have a mirror to use you can also use a picture frame all you do is take out the glass and coat the back of the glass with black paint.I used spray paint for mine and just keep letting it dry and recoating until you get the disired effect...
