Greetings Gift 22, and Slayden,

The actual method of Black Mirror Scrying was rediscovered in the 1970's for Ceremenial Magick users by (Poke Runyan). He is the Founder of the Order of the Temple of Asrtarte. The method requires two practitioners within the circle of magick. One member, the Magician does the evoking, while the other does the actual act of Scrying into the Black Mirror.

My wife and I have adopted this method to the Black Mirror Scrying. The Magician uses the Conjurations and Words and Names of Power according to the system they are working with, whether that is Solomnic, or Phoenician, or any other Ancient System. The Scryer who does the actual gazing into the Black Mirror should first see their reflection with the two lit candles next to the Mirror. The actual reflection should change as if you were looking into any Mirror for prolonged amounts of time and seeing the reflection alter to look almost foreign to you.

The images of anothers face or reflection of a Conjured or Evoked God/dess, or Spirit comes from the Collective Unconscious aspects from deep within the Scryers own Psyche. These images will come after a period of gazing even if you receive no utterance from the Scryer. The Magician Proper asks the scryer if they have receiived a form of image in the Scrying mirror and if they have an utterance. The Deity, Spirit, or Daimon, which is actually represented from within the Psyche of the Collective Unconscious of the Scryer will make itself known to the Magician during the Ceremony. I.E. the aspects of the Deity, Spirit, or Daimon will sometimes alter the audio sound of the Scryers own voice. I have heard my wifes voice sound very masculine at times or authoritative to a degree that it sounds as if from a foreign voice issuing forth from her mouth to my questions. She often gets frightened after we go back over the recording of our sessions because she says she can't believe thats her voice.

One thing to remember, you must be well grounded in a System of Magick Working and able to retake control of your Psyche as a Scryer once the session has ended. Some people use a Banishing Ritual, but I find a Dismissal more in lines with the Goetia and Almadel.

Good luck with your endeavors, and remember, the first image you should see is your own, and the last image you should view should be your own as well. If any other image is forcing its way into your Psyche you need to thoroughly ground yourself to the Earth.

Respectfully,
Helel (Joseph)

Hi everyone. I use a black mirror but I don't like seeing any reflections in it. My question is, a lot of people say you should start by scrying things like the Hebrew alphabet first. Does this mean, to start with a letter and go back and forth from staring at the letter to staring at the mirror? Are there any other ideal symbols or ideas for people new to scrying? I suppose the tattwas could be another option. More often than not, I read posts about people that are relatively new to magick and evoking spirits and not seeing or hearing anything. I think scrying practice should be as important as doing banishing/grounding rituals everyday. Thank you.
