CHAPTER 1

How Scrying Works

Scrying is a natural process that draws on the vast, untapped resources of the human mind. It is not intended to replace logic, analysis, or the reasoning processes of everyday thinking. Rather, it supplements what we see as already known with unknown or unprocessed information. Scrying also offers a dynamic, creative way of making connections between apparently unrelated factors.

Central to scrying is the interpretation of symbols that appear in or on the surface of the scrying medium (for example, formed by floating ink on water).

Symbols, according to 20th-century occultist Dion Fortune, are believed to contain the energies and experiences of all the people who had used them or seen the actual manifestation of the symbol in real life.

Processing Psychic Information

The right side of the brain, from which the imagination comes, is the hemisphere through which clairvoyance and scrying abilities may be most readily developed. With this often underutilized hemisphere, we can anticipate with great accuracy a future not yet made, recall verifiable details of a past we did not consciously experience, and derive images or actual scenes about people and places currently beyond the physical eye range.

The right hemisphere can effectively manipulate these images and also deal with hypotheses of future events without needing facts and figures.

The left side of the brain is more concerned with organizing present experiences and our consciously recalled past. In daily life, this is the vital part of the brain that enables us to function within measured time and recall useful facts from our past. The behavior, experiences, and relationships from our past guide us to make sensible choices or steer us away from hazards; it works mainly in words.

Of course predictions of the future can be made from what is already known and by assessing likeness. But when we add our imaginative powers to the right brain, to the deducing process of the left brain, we can bring to the fore what is not expected or reasonably predictable — and use these prophecies to make sensible choices in the here and now.

The previously mentioned is of course, a simplification, and you may wish to study detailed accounts of recent and past experiments in parapsychology.

This unknown information can also be given in the images we see during scrying by our Spirit Guides, angels, and recently deceased family members or spiritual ancestors.

If you are relatively new to the art you may have to prompt yourself at first: What do I feel about this image, as I hold the crystal ball? What extra information comes through my fingertips, and what is the message I hear about the scrying experience?

But eventually, as soon as you see a picture in your crystal or mirror, your mind will be flooded with words and impressions, and your fingertips may actually tingle.

What Is Time in the Scrying World?

In scrying, clock time is relative. Early moon calendars were an accurate way of predicting the migration or return of certain birds, or the arrival of the herds that occurred regularly after a set number of full moons.

However, lunar calendars were at odds with dates calculated by the sun. The Celtic Coligny calendar, for example, inserted an extra month called Ciallos every two and a half to three years. Ciallos was the month of no time, meant to synchronize with the sun's path through the skies

But solar time, as calculated by the apparent movement of the sun through the skies, has flaws of its own. We compensate for these with leap years.

Because the length of the day according to solar time is not the same throughout the year, calculated solar time was invented, based on the motion of a hypothetical sun traveling at an even rate throughout the year. The difference in the length of a 24-hour day at different seasons of the year can be as much as 16 minutes.

Standard time, which is based on solar time, was introduced in 1883, and the Earth was officially divided into 24 time zones.

The base position is the zero meridian of longitude that passes through the Royal Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, England, and time zones are described by their distance east or west of Greenwich. Within each time zone, all clocks are set to the same time. In 1966, the U.S. Congress passed the Uniform Time Act, which established eight standard time zones for the United States. In 1983, several time zone boundaries were altered so that Alaska, which had formerly spanned four zones, could be nearly unified.

Turning Back the Clock

Take a bowl of water and look into it, recalling a momentous day in your past: the day you earned your first paycheck, your wedding day, the day you had your first child. Relive every moment as you look into the water: words, feelings, fragrances, and tastes, and, above all, look through the eyes of the person you were then.

Close your eyes and you may see the scene within the water as if you were looking down at it, yet it is still in your mind. Most of us cry when we recall losing someone we love, even 10 or 20 years later. Now go forward and anticipate getting off the plane on a trip you have saved all year for, especially if it is a place you love and have visited before. Live the moment fully — what you will feel and say, or the smell of the brewing coffee or the orange groves after rain. Both moments were real, and both were beyond measured time that has been ticking away while you walked down memory lane and explored tomorrow.

Back to the Future

You can also scry to discover a time frame within which a prediction will occur. How long before I meet my life partner, become pregnant, or get the job offer I am working towards? You can see ahead in pictures or symbols in the water. But when? A month, a year, or further away? If you want to know more precisely, focus on your image in the water and look for clues.

In the water, or in you mind, picture yourself and add the backcloth. Do you look older? How much older? Is it fall or spring? Can you see any clues — for example, your brother's presence when you know he is coming home for a holiday in six months? Does it feel soon? If you don't see the image you expected, work with what you do see, no matter what it is.

Working With Symbols

Children work with pictures rather than words when they are young. Jane, age 4, asked her mother Suzie if Aunty Anne would be taking care of her when her mother went out for the evening. Asked how Jane could know she was hoping to go out,...
