Years ago, when I was still in the Coven we made scrying mirrors. Our little group had pretty crafty members. Many people prefer to use black mirrors but we decided to go with regular mirrors. We even made the bags to keep the mirrors in. Here is mine:


I liked the idea of using seashells, to represent the Ocean - since Water is emotion, I thought it would be perfect for finding answers and inner truth.

There are a few ways to scry, I prefer to simply gaze into the mirror to experience visions of the future or of the unknown. When using a black mirror, leave the mirror on a table and look at it from an angle because you don't want to see your reflection. You can also steam the mirror up in an area such as bathroom. The messages you see may appear random and not really develop as a script or art design. It's possible these messages may come from the consciousness of the scryer.

Another way to scry, which I don't prefer, (must be years of that whole 'Bloody Mary' thing) stand in a dark room with a flashlight (or a candle - just be careful!) a few inches below your face and stare into the mirror for a few minutes. You should see your features change then change again. Some believe this reflects who you are in a parallel or past life. When you're done scrying, if you use a candle, take a look at the wax droppings for further information linked to what you saw in your mirror images.
