The goal may be personal guidance, , revelation or inspiration, but over the centuries, scrying in various forms has also been a prominent means of or divination. It remains popular in the circles discussed in many media, both modern and age-old. Definitions and terminology There is no definitive difference between scrying and other means of clairvoyance, foreshadowing, or divination, but roughly speaking, scrying depends on the imaginary impressions of in an environment of choice. Ideally, in this respect it differs from the , which is based on the interpretation of objectively observed objects or events (such as the flight of birds); Divination, which depends on standardized processes or ; on one-timeism, which depends on the interpretation of ; From the physiological effects of psychoactive drugs; and clairvoyance, which is conditionally independent of objective sensory stimuli. Clairvoyance, in other words, is seen as the sum of essentially extrasensory perception. Scrying is neither a single, clearly defined, nor a formal discipline, and there is no uniformity in which have repeatedly and independently been reinvented or or in many age groups and regions.

The terms of Latinization or Hellenization of media or activity descriptions are commonly used. Examples of names invented for crystal-looking include crystallism, sphereiness and catoptromanism. As an example of the freeness of such terms, should refer more specifically to scrying using mirrors or other reflective objects rather than crystal looking. Other names that have been coined to use various scrying media include anthracomancy for glowing coals, turifumy for scrying in smoke, and hydromantia for scrying into the water. There is no clear limit to the coinage and application of such terms and media. Scrying is practiced in many cultures, believing that it can reveal the past, present or . Some practitioners claim that the visions that come when one looks into the media from the subconscious or imagination, while others say they come from gods, spirits, devils, or the mental mind, depending on culture and practice. However, there is no systematic body of empirical support for any such views in general, nor their respective competitive merits; individual preferences in such matters are arbitrary at best. The media most commonly used in scribing are reflective, refractive, translucent or fluorescent surfaces or objects such as crystals, stones or glass in various forms, such as crystal balls, mirrors reflecting black surfaces such as obsidian, water surfaces, fire or smoke, but there are no particular restrictions on preferences or scryer prejudices; some can look into the dark, clear sky, clouds, shadows or light patterns against walls, ceilings or pond beds. Some prefer glowing coals or shimmering mirages. Some simply close their eyes, conventionally looking at the insides of their own eyelids, and talk about eyelids scrying. Scrying media tends to either suggest images directly (such as shapes in fire, fluid vortexes or clouds), or they distort or reflect the vision of observers confusingly, so as to be seen in crystals or transparent balls. Such have long been satirically skeptics, for example, in Hamlet III.ii: The quote is necessary You see there a cloud that is almost in the shape of a camel? In mass, and it's like a camel, really. Methinks is like a weaser. It is supported as a weaser. Or like a whale? It's very similar to a whale. Alternatively, the environment may visual stimuli to thresholds below which any clear impressions can interfere with imaginary visions or free association. Examples include darkened reflections of the night sky, or simple shade or darkness. Techniques Modern scrying experience One class techniques techniques includes a self-induced , with or without the aid of environments such as a crystal ball or, even using modern technologies such as a smartphone among other things. Some say it's a sense of drug like, some that different drugs can have the potency of the experience; others categorically rule out any connection with drug use, claiming that it annulls any images observed. Many practitioners say that scrying the environment initially serves to focus, removing unwanted thoughts from the mind in much the same way as repeating the mantra, concentrating on the mandala, causing a relaxation response, or perhaps hypnosis. Once this stage is reached, the scryer can begin a free association with perceived images. The technique of intentionally searching and declaring these original images out loud, no matter how trivial or inappropriate they may seem to the conscious mind, is trying to deepen the state of the trance. In this state some scryers hear their own disparate voices claiming what they see in the cycle of mental feedback. Practitioners apply this process until they reach a satisfactory state of perception in which rich visual images and dramatic stories seem to be projected within the environment itself, or in the eyes of the scryer mind. They claim that the technique allows them to see relevant events or images in their chosen environment. practiced scrying; he looked into a bowl of water or a magic mirror to see the future while he was in a trance. and Mythology See also: Mirrors in Mesoamerican culture Jewish Biblical Divination is briefly mentioned in Chapter 44 of the Book of Genesis. A silver bowl or cup is intentionally planted in 's bag when he leaves Egypt, will later be used as evidence of theft. It turned out that the cup belonged to Joseph, the Vizier of Egypt, whose steward claimed to have been used for drinking and fortune-telling during his prosecution. This is mentioned to reinforce his disguise as an Egyptian nobleman. Ancient Persia Main article: Jamshid Shahnameh Cup, a 10th century epic work narrating the historical and mythological past of Persia, gives a description of what is called the Jamhid Cup (Jaam-e Jam), which was used by ancient (mythological) Persian kings to observe all seven layers of the universe. It was said that the cup contains the elixir of immortality, but without convincing explanation of any significance of the elixir to the bloody function. The main articles of the Latter-day Saint movement: Seer stone (Latter-day Saints) and Urim and Tummim (Latter-day Saints) In the late 1820s, Joseph Smith founded the Latter-day Saint movement, based in part on what is said to have been miraculously derived from the reflections of the stones of the measure. Smith had at least three separate stones, in that his favorite brown stone, which he found during a neighbor's excavation. First he used these stones stones various searches for digging treasures in the early 1820s, placing a stone in the crown of a hat and putting his face in a hat to read what he considered miraculous reflections from the stone. Smith also said he had access to a separate set of glasses consisting of strait stones, which he called Urim and Tummm. He said that through these stones he could translate the gold plates, which are the stated source of the Book of Mormon. In the folklore rituals of Divination, similar to those depicted on this greeting card in the early 20th century, where a woman looks in the mirror in a darkened room to catch a glimpse of her future husband's face while the is hiding in the shadows, may be one of the origins of the legend of . This Halloween greeting card of 1904 satirizes divination: a young woman, hoping to see her future husband, sees a reflection of a nearby portrait. Rituals that include many acts similar to scrying in ceremonial magic are preserved in the form of folklore and superstition. Previously, a common tradition has it that young women looking in the mirror in a darkened room (often on Halloween) can catch a glimpse of their future husband's face in the mirror - or skull, officialing death if their fate was to die before they married. Another form of fairy tale, involving the same actions, looking in the mirror in a darkened room, is used as supernatural courage in the tale of Bloody Mary. Here, the motive is usually to test the teen gazers' mettle against an evil witch or , in a designed to give the scryers' easy escape if the visions are caused to prove too scary. Although, as in any folklore, details may change, this particular tale (Bloody Mary) encouraged young women to walk up the stairs backwards, holding a candle and hand mirror, in a darkened house. When they looked in the mirror, they had to be able to catch a view of their future husband's face. There was, however, a chance that they would see the skull face of the Grim Reaper instead; it meant that they were destined to die before they married. Folklore such as those just mentioned should not be clearly distinguished from traditional fairy tales in which the reality of such media is taken for granted. In Snow White's tale, for example, a jealous queen consults a magic mirror, which she asks: The Magic Mirror on the Wall / Which one is the fairest?, to which the mirror always replies: You, my queen, are fair of all. But when Snow White reaches the age of seven, she becomes beautiful as a day, and when the queen asks her mirror, he replies: The queen, you are full of fair, 'it's true, but Snow White is fairer than you. There is no uniformity among believers in how seriously they prefer to take such fairy tales and Scientific reception is not supported by science as a method of predicting the future or obtaining information not available for empirical research. Some critics consider it . Skeptics believe that skepticism is the result of confusion or wishful thinking. Psychologist Leonard Susne suggested that chromatic images are hallucinations or hypnagogic experiences. A 2010 article in perception identified a specific method of reliably reproducing a creaking illusion in a mirror and suggested that it may be caused by low-level fluctuations in edge stability, shading, and outlines that affect the perceived definition of a face that is over-interpreted as someone else by the facial recognition system. Modern tradition and fiction Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (1888-c.1902 in its original form) taught its own version of scrying or scrying, which can be done individually or as a group. He emphasized three levels: 1) Scrying's vision of the Spirit with an emphasis on inner vision, focusing on a symbol or mirror, 2) Journey in the vision of the Spirit involves going to a place seen and interacting with what is there, 3) Rebellion in planes focuses on the spiritual process (involving scrying through the Tree of Life), which has the potential to raise consciousness to the level of the Divine. Dr. of the Mind Research Institute, founded by parapsychologist Raymond, uses crystallism as an environment in which he claims to allow clients to see the phenomena of the dead. The British astrologer and psychic known as Mystic Meg, who came to national attention as part of the UK National Lottery draw in 1994, was often depicted with a crystal ball. Traditional healers from the Yucatan Peninsula and Guatemala use stone crystal balls for scrying. They are known as sastun or zaztun. Originally, they were Mayan antiquities, which they used to collect in archaeological ruins. At present, they are mostly modern objects. It is not known what the original use of jade balls found in ancient Mayan graves was. Modern media, such as movies, often depict scrying with the help of a crystal ball, stereotypically used by an old gypsy. In The Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch of the West, played by Margaret Hamilton, uses a crystal ball. In the fictional universe of Middle-earth, J.R. R. Tolkien (especially in the Lord of the Rings) palanture is a stone that allows the viewer to see what any other chamber sees, and the Galadriel Mirror is used as a miser to see visions of the past, present or future. In George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire, there is a negligible amount candles called Black Candles by scientists and mystics. These glass candles give out an unpleasantly bright light that makes strange things for flowers. That's the way it is. that when glass candles are lit sorcerers can see through mountains, seas and deserts, give men visions and dreams and communicate with each other half a million apart. These candles did not burn for more than a century, but began to burn again with the revival of magic in the world. In Christopher Paolini's inheritance cycle, the use of a mirror to view people and places that the viewer knew in the present was possible with the disadvantage of not being able to see anything they did not know. Trying to sme in the future will cost the user their life. In the YA Cycle Of Raven series, there are many psychic characters (the main example is Adam Parrish) who scry in different ways, for example by looking into a bowl of liquid, candles, or even car lights. In Clive Barker's video game Immortal, Patrick Galloway (player's character) is shown in possession of a green crystal, a gel'ziabar stone that allows him scry visions and sounds from the past that are vital for various missions. (quote necessary) In the American television series , sisters scry with crystal and a map to find people.
