Scrying for Beginners
In my article on making use of scrying, I talked a little bit about how to create a scrying mirror and some basics for developing your abilities in this method of divination. Many readers wrote in to say that they did not have a lot of success with scrying, and that they needed some more information on scrying for beginners. So, here you go:
It should be mentioned right of the top that scrying is not often recommended for beginners who are just starting off with developing psychic abilities. Seeing the images and figuring out what they mean is usually quite difficult. I mention this type of divination in part because it is incredibly popular, and also because it is one of the most powerful types of divination, drawing on your intuition and your visualization skills more than your ability to interpret a pre-defined message.
As such, you should not be discouraged if you find scrying for beginners to be incredibly difficult. It is.
There are many things you can do to increase your ability to find images and meanings from the mirror, however.
Since you can’t develop meaning if you have no images to work with, the number one thing you need to do is to develop your visualization skills. An easy exercise for this is to sit facing a plain white wall and to trace letters of the alphabet in the air with your finger. When doing this, try to visualize a slice of blue or red light wherever the letters were drawn. If you can develop your ability to see this, even after closing your eyes for a few moments and even after turning away and coming back, then you will have more success with scrying.
In doing this, you’re working with developing your mind’s eye, which is, of course, a very important part of your ability to visualize.
