**Challenge Entry - The Art of Scrying" - Wow, oh, wow! There’s some good stuff here! 
As a child, I watched movies depicting witches gazing into crystal balls, rattling bones (runes), calling mirrors, or in a semi-trance with curling smoke - literally, for me it was entertainment without any education of history. For me personally, I will never touch a Quija board again ever in my lifetime (bad experience), I believe spirits (or energies) can inhabit inanimate objects including dolls (true experience that I will never be willing to repeat), people can have premonitions or deja vus (definitely had several), and that “gut feeling” or intuition should be listened too.
Out of all the divination methods, the candles called to me and I loved this read by Francisco in “Flickering Magic: How to Read Candle Flames, Meaning and Interpretations”:
I also loved the Divination Oil and made myself some to use while practicing meditation or while scrying with candles, tarot or oracle cards:
Given there’s so many methods, I always thought that scrying held just the crystal ball, mirror or smoke. I had no idea that scrying was “making the use of any suitable media” in making your connections with the realms. I was surprised to find out that reading tarot or oracle cards, runes, palms, tea leaves 
is also considered an act of scrying. This has been a valuable lesson for me, and a great challenge for this week! Blessed Be!
