How to Scry with Black Obsidian:

Prepare Your Space: Choose a quiet, dim area without interruptions. Enhance the atmosphere with candles or soft lighting.

Cleanse Your Obsidian: Remove any residual energies by using incense smoke, moonlight, or sound methods such as chimes or a cleaning ritual before use.

Set an Intention: Concentrate on the insight you seek. Ask a specific question or open yourself to subconscious messages, seeking guidance or spiritual connection.

Look into the Obsidian Mirror: Relax your eyes, soften your focus, and allow your mind to wander as you gaze into the mirror.

Interpret What You See: Images, symbols, or emotions may appear. Allow impressions to develop naturally without forcing them. Trust your intuition to interpret them.

Record Your Observations: Keep notes of any pictures, emotions, or messages you observe. Over time, you may begin to identify recurring patterns.

Journal Your Sessions – Document your observations and feelings.

Close the Session – After completing the session, clean the plate again if necessary.

Bonus Tips       

• Ensure the mirror is free of dust and fingerprints and practice under low lighting.
• Set the mirror at a slight angle so you are not focused on the exact image of your own reflection but on abstracted reflections.
• Scrying can be done at any time, but it is often considered more effective during a new or full moon for enhanced intuition. It is typically performed at night due to the energy and ambiance.
• Limit your initial scrying sessions to 20 minutes. While legends suggest addiction or insanity, practically speaking, it can be very draining when you're not accustomed to it.
• Only use your scrying mirror for scrying. It should not be used as a regular mirror. Wrap it in a soft cloth and store it when not in use.
• Keep your scrying mirror hidden to prevent others from looking into it, unless they need it for a ritual.
• Avoid having any objects or reflections appear in the mirror, including items in the room or your own reflection. The scrying mirror should resemble a dark window or tunnel with no reflections.
• It is suggested to create a circle of protection or visualize your area being surrounded by a protective white light before you start scrying. This practice may help shield you from any potentially deceptive spirits or entities.
• Keep a journal to track and revisit your experiences.
• Set a clear intention for your session. Without it, you may see anything, including unsettling things like predictions of death or other grim details.
• Meditation beforehand can help deepen your connection.
• Take a moment to settle in and breathe deeply before starting.
• Don't be discouraged if nothing appears at first—it takes practice!
