A Scrying Mirror is a very useful tool to anyone that uses magic. It goes by other names such as "Witches Glass" "Magic Mirror" and if you like disney "Mirror Mirror on the wall" It aids witches in many aspects of magic. It can be used for Scrying, Divination, Meditation, Gazing into the future and past and many other useful things. Each Witch should have their own personal mirror that should not be gazed upon by any other, unless it is a shared mirror such as a coven or a family of witches.
How to make one?
A hand mirror works best and if any colour should be black around the edges. You can add charmed ribbons, pendants and such and should be kept in a black silk bag or cloth when not using it.
You can enchant and bewitch it any way you please, use herbs and insence, spells and chants your energy will go into making it and wont work any other way.
This is my method for making my mirror that i dug out of my book of shadows.
You will need:
1 Black Candle
1 White Candle
Ground up Lavender
Ground up Belladonna (Do not eat or drink in large doses it is poison)
A full moon
Method:
1) light the black candle and say " Shadows"
2) Light the white candle and say " And light"
3) sprinkle the lavender onto the glass and say " Come here this night"
4) Sprinkle the Belladonna onto the glass and say "To give me sight"
5) light your broom twig on each candle and let the ask fall on the glass and say "By witches power and witches flight.
6) let the full moon light reflect of the glass and then let the herbs and ash fly into the wind.
7) blow out the candles, hold both hands over the mirror and chant.
"Hemlock Bramble Holly Birch,
Monkshood cast illusion and search
Musk Myrhh Nettles sting and bane
Thistle Thorn Toadstool dew
Enchantment, Enrichment, Bewitchment
Oak moss, Pumpkin bound and Hawthorn two."
This is just what i used and wont work as well for you if you copy it, by all means change and and take away from it.
How to use it?
A little spell or word is good to get the magic flowing. Think of what you want the mirror to do, commune with the dead, see the future etc and my word to start the magic is "Hopscotch" (Yes its a tim burton refferance but come on that guy is a god)
So once you have said you rhyme or word command the mirror what you want it to do such as "Mirror let me gaze into the future" You have to really gaze into it, past you and your reflection, look what cant be seen. Your third eye being open here helps alot.
Once you have done what you wish with the mirror come up with a closing word or rhyme mine is "Hopscotch" the same word can be used to start and stop the mirrors magic but some use different for each.

Thanks for this post, my method isn't a mirror at all (I travel a lot and break things) I use a bowl of water and put some ink in it, light a few candles and scry.
Blessed BE.
