\*\*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”:

> Reading candle flames is usually called pyromancy. This practice is deeply rooted in Greek mythology as fire was a very important part of life. fire Finding spiritual meanings in the flame of a candle is a type of divination that has been around for thousands of years. In classical Greek times, people would “gaze” searching for enlightenment or visions. Let’s see how to read candle flames.

I also loved the Divination Oil and made myself some to use while practicing meditation or while scrying with candles, tarot or oracle cards:

> Dab a drop of Divination Oil on your forehead (between your eyebrows) to help open your Third Eye for meditation or divination work. This oil can also be used to anoint candles or for sigil work. Why this Spell Works The Herbs and Spices listed here...

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! ♥ ♥
