Hope Misc Topics is where a scrying topic goes. Black mirrors and crystal balls and dishes of water dont work for me. Its always fresh running water or rainwater filling puddle or flowing down glass and its intermittant. I cant get a vision or sneek peek ewhen I want to but I get them on those surfaces randomely and have no clue what most are about. On rare occasions what Ive seen has saved life and property so I am grateful but wish it were more controllable. Should I just chalk it up that Nature has its plan and purpose and be grateful or is there a way to sharpen these skills? Any input appreciated. Peace, David
As with any form of divination, practice makes perfect. Also a large part of understanding the world around you is first understanding yourself. Meditation is key because it allows you to calm outer influences and focus on the spirit within.
I will also add the note that there is an old wive's tale that evil cannot exist in running water. It is possible that there is some sort of evil influence attached to you that is blocking you from seeing anything in still water. You may want to look into some cleansing techniques just in case this is what's happening.
Thak you both for the input. I would think since I went through a dark time of practice it could be bad karma but before I ever started dark practices I had this problem. Pendelums get rather eradic in my hand. Runestones work well for me. Tarot is touch and go. I dont begin to know how to cleanse my own self except meditation and sage.
I like the idea of running water, i think that would be cool.
i use a ring on the end of some thread for a pendulum and so far have had great success with yes no type questions.
LBRP, then Meditate before hand and do central pillar visualization then bornless ritual and have added el adon, then after the qabala invocation rituals i'll scry. first time i did it, it blew me away.
Cleansing yourself can be simple as a bath with essential oil, flower essence, fragrance oil, gem water or salt added. Sometimes, people prefer showers using soap infused with botanical material. You can fast, mast commonly on water and apple cider for a day.
There are meditations and visualizations you can do to cleanse your mind. You can use incense or salt water in an asperger to cleanse an area.
Tools can be left in the sun, under the moon, in a black cloth, held over incense, flame, or under water, buried in salt or earth, and even whispered over.
i use the "asperges me" ritual for cleansing. if you dig on judeo Christian ritual then look no further. you can make a cleansing sort of bath with herbs (hyssop) and water or order one online:
asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor; lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor
sprinkle me with hyssop and I shall be clean; wash me and I will be made whiter than snow (Psalm 51:7)
LBRP does a good job of keeping the area clean when you do your work, there again, your tradition may call for something different.
But if you can hit a good meditative state then i think you can scry real well.
Theres so much different stuff out there, whatever really resonates with you is best and the journey to find that makes it all worth while.
Thanx to you both. Looking back on it most of my visions in water have come within days of swimming in ocean. Maybe saltwater bath is needed. What is LBRP? I always think I know a lot til I come to websites or conferences or meetings or stores where I meet other practioners and realize I dont really know much of anything. LOL Kinda embarissing.
