Scrying: Divination Using Crystals, Mirrors, Water & Fire

Scrying is the practice of looking into crystal balls, mirrors, water, fire, clouds, trees and other things to see visions, find messages, gain knowledge and see what the future might hold. 

Scrying is a form of divination that taps into our psychic senses and powers of intuition. It can be done to obtain guidance, for inspiration, to discover the answers to questions and to look at distant places or other realms. It can also be used for fortune-telling and prophecy.

In ancient Egypt, mirrors sacred to the Goddess Hathor were used to scry the true nature of things. Jade balls found in ancient Mayan burials are thought to have been used for divination. Nostradamus obtained his prophesies by staring into a bowl of water while in a trance. John Dee and his partner Edward Kelley used a crystal ball and obsidian mirror to consult angels. 

The art of using such devices for fortune telling, guidance and other insights has never died out. Indeed, scrying is having a resurgence today.

In this two-part, online workshop, eclectic witch and author Lucya Starza will teach you how to scry. She will show you methods of developing the art of scrying, as well as offering you a chance to try out various scrying techniques yourself. 

You will:

• Learn how to scry effectively

We will not be recording this workshop. One of the unique aspects of the College's online events is that they are highly interactive. Participants are encouraged to discuss and share with the tutor and the group. These sharings can be very personal, and some may not feel comfortable with them being recorded.
