Scrying has been around since ancient times and is really known throughout Ancient Egypt. People that are religious often want to learn Egyptian magic and some will use methods like scrying.
Scrying and Egyptian Magic
Egyptians would use their powers to look into the past, present and future. Scrying means to be able to see and they would use objects that were natural to get messages from the spiritual world. There were no tarot cards that people wrote about so instead people would use scrying objects like smoke, oil, mirrors, water, and other things.
Egyptians would allow only royalty people or priests to do scrying in the temples but there is evidence that sometimes they were done in tombs by children. Now, people will often do scrying themselves, even at their homes.
What is Water Scrying?
Scrying is not as hard to do as it seems. You have to learn to train your eyes to see messages and to allow visions to come through. This depends on you and how open you are to the messages.
Water Scrying
Water scrying is a way that you use water as the divine source. You can do this in the bathtub, the river, a pool, the ocean, a puddle of water or even just a bowl of water. The ritual has to do more with relaxing your mind over the water source used.
You can play some music and light some candles before you get started. Meditating beforehand works well, too. You can look deep at the water and gaze at it while softening your eyes. Let the visions come to your mind. This can be a random thought or a vision that you get. Once you get good at this you will be able to see things in the water. You will then be able to use other things like crystals, clouds, tiles or almost anything to see the visions as you progress in your gift.
What Do You Need to Do Water Scrying?
Here are some things you will need:
- Bowl preferably gold or bronze.
- Amethyst.
- Candle.
Doing Water Scrying Rituals
There are some ancient Egyptian methods of doing water scrying. Some will use a gold-plated bowl, amethyst and water. They can light a candle and turn off all the lights. The person will soften their gaze and will say, “Can I see the waters and get answers to the powers that never wane? I ask the seven het-herus, that keep the knowledge, old and new Auset. Isis. The mother of magic and life. Thank you for coming and I ask you to come to the full moon night.”
After you say this anything can happen. You might start seeing visions in your mind or you might see something in a reflection, or you might get a thought in your mind. If you don’t have anything happen right away, don’t get upset because it might come to you later in a vision or in a dream.
Write down everything that happens in your journal and try the ritual again later to keep practicing.
This article is truly fascinating! I love how it delves into the ancient practices of Egyptian magic and scrying. It makes me appreciate how intricate these traditions were.
Great, now I have to buy more candles and a gold bowl. My shopping list just keeps getting stranger!
Ancient Egyptian magic and scrying? Sounds like something straight out of a Harry Potter novel!
It’s remarkable how these ancient practices are still being carried out today. There’s something to be said about the enduring nature of human curiosity.
Indeed, curiosity and the quest for knowledge are timeless!
Agreed. It’s the same quest for the unknown that drives scientific discovery.
Oh, please. This is nothing more than pseudo-science. Just because ancient Egyptians did it doesn’t mean it’s valid or useful today.
The rituals described, especially the invocation of Isis, add a layer of solemnity and respect to the practice. It’s not just about seeing visions; it’s about connecting with something greater.
While the idea of scrying sounds mystical, the scientific community remains skeptical about its efficacy.
Skepticism is fine, but that doesn’t mean people can’t find personal value in such practices.
Historically speaking, the practice of scrying has been documented in various cultures, not just Egypt. It would be interesting to compare their methodologies.
I tried water scrying once, and all I saw was the bottom of my bowl. Maybe I need better equipment or more patience!
Scrying sounds like a meditative practice that could be useful for calming the mind, even if one doesn’t experience any visions.
