Scrying Tools

Scrying tools are ancient instruments used to access hidden knowledge, divine messages, and spiritual insight through focused gazing. Whether it’s the still surface of a dark mirror, a bowl of water, or a polished crystal sphere, these tools invite the practitioner into altered states of awareness—where symbols, visions, and guidance from beyond the veil can emerge.

Rooted in traditions across the globe, scrying remains a profound practice of intuition, shadow work, and spirit communication.

Black Mirrors (Obsidian or Glass):

• The most iconic scrying tool, used to peer into other realms, past lives, and hidden truths

• Absorbs distractions and enhances psychic vision through its deep, reflective surface

• Ideal for divination, spirit work, shadow work, and moon rituals

How to Use: Sit quietly with the mirror in low light. Gaze softly into the surface, allowing your vision to blur. Be open to images, impressions, or emotions that arise. Record insights in a journal afterward.

Water Bowls:

• Often paired with moonlight or candlelight to amplify intuition

• Used in dreamwork, emotional divination, or connecting with water spirits

• Traditionally linked to lunar energy and inner truth

Crystal Balls (Clear or Obsidian):

• Used similarly to mirrors, but with a more three-dimensional gaze

• Excellent for energy reading, spirit messages, and symbolic visions

Ritual Uses:

• Divination – Ask questions, seek clarity, or open to messages from your higher self or guides

• Moon Magic – Use during full or new moons for potent insight and emotional healing

• Ancestral Work – Invite connection to those who have passed by gazing and listening

• Shadow Work – Explore suppressed emotions, patterns, or memories for deep personal healing

Safety & Cleansing:

• Always cleanse your scrying tool before and after use (smoke, moonlight, or sound)

• Store with care—these tools hold energy like a mirror holds light

• Use grounding practices afterward to return fully to waking awareness

Spiritual Tip: Scrying is not about forcing visions—it’s about receiving. Relax, trust your intuition, and let the mirror or surface become a portal rather than a screen.
