Scrying bowls and mirrors are ancient divination tools that tap into the mysterious forces of the subconscious and the ethereal realm.
A scrying bowl typically consists of a shallow vessel filled with water, oil, or even reflective substances like black obsidian, while scrying mirrors are often polished glass or obsidian surfaces designed to absorb and reflect light.
To use these instruments, one should create a tranquil environment, free from distractions. The practitioner focuses their gaze into the bowl or mirror, allowing their mind to drift, often invoking a question or intention. As they enter a meditative state, visions, symbols, or insights may arise from the depths, encouraging intuitive interpretations and a deeper connection with the self and the universe.
