Scrying with reflections

[BlackRose666]

I am into all sorts of divination/scrying. I can do pendulums, wizard's nod, tarot cards, yes/no stones, intuition, etc with some accuracy

But there is one kind of scrying that I can't understand why it won't work. It is either using a mirror and candle(night) black mirror(day or night), or a silver bowl of coloured water illuminated with a single candle(night) I have tried charging them with either solar or lunar energy, or both. Nothing seems to work but the mirror and candle vaguely. One time I saw who I was in a past life, then a porcelain doll,(my reflection changed) but thats it.

Is there something I am doing wrong, or is the vision supposed to come in form of a mental image?

What's a wizard's nod?

[BlackRose666]

A wizard's nod is when you fall asleep for about 10 mins, then slowly bring yourself to conscious. Before you are fully awake, a dream like a Technicolor movie playing will  give you an answer(s) to your question(s) or something you need to know.

This is weird because I can scry a variety of things, but for some reason I won't try a mirror...  I really must try it.  I think it makes me think of a childhood thing when you were suppose to turn off the lights, and stare into a mirror repeating, "bloody Mary"  ....silly now, but when I was younger, freaked me out..

I've never tried it, but it's explained in "Summoning spirits" by Konstantinos

It's not really a summoning spirits thing. It is to look into the future, and answers to questions, like tarot cards or prophetic dreams.

There is a technique that helps. It's not the 'key' or anything like that, it just helps some people. It's actually in another thread;

There are also various visual exercises which help. You may know them, but I'll post them if you'd like.

Hope this helps
