A Bowl of Water

Are you aware that you can use a simple bowl of water for scrying (gazing) in the same way you would use a crystal ball? Some people add coloured dyes to the water too.

A clear glass bowl set on a dark cloth I feel would give the best results but try it on other coloured cloths too.
It can take time and patience to see anything at all and remember to gaze softly rather than stare into the water, and if you need to blink do so, let us know how you get on with this

why do you cast a circle?

Maybe I'm speaking out of turn here, but casting a circle is usually done to:


a. Clear a space for yourself to work in(in more then one sense)
b. For protection.


There may be several other reassons, but these are the most common...to my knowledge.


I don't physically cast a circle,I find there is no need, the same can be accomplished but what I call bubbeling.(See the post about shielding :D)


Physically casting a circle can be done with chalk, (rock)salt or even lavender, and many other things depending on its purpose...


Love,

Your welcome shayn...
if you have any questions or problems regarding witchcraft, wicca or energy studies... dont hesitate to ask me

thanks Zach i will, 
i have one more question: do i need to have a question while looking at the water or.. i just hate asking questions :)maybe i hate the answers i don't know.

Well for me when I do scrying, i dont ask any questions, I will only stare on it, and an image, symbol or message will suddenly appear about myself or to others, present or in future

i think i would like to try this one again. now i only need to find some peace of mind to do so. and i think Zach i will take your advice and cast a circle as well. no questions. btw, do you use light, candles or darkness?

Hello

Yes. Another very interesting thing to try is using the Sun. Look into the bright Sun for a few seconds then close one's eyes and lay back on the ground and look up to the bright sky. What one see's at times is truly amazing.

it sure is lynn but not very healthy to the eyes. btw - used to do this a lot at a younger age.

True maybe that . Not something to maybe do all the time....or wear some low level Sun Glasses.

Zach, thank you for that,  do you also make some kind of meditation to start with or only cast a circle? 

Ha, the old Nostrodamus trick, hydromancy, interesting....having much luck?

Hi Zombie chaser, how are you? I've had more luck with a crystal ball but i've not used water for a while.

I scry when there is a moon she hangs like a cruel portrait in the sky....lol... so sometimes when I really need to see a message from the bowl of water. I performed a moon meditation.But meditation is not really necessary...it is up to you, if you will do this or not.
