- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ธ.ค. 2024
- Wow! This has been a HIGHLY requested video since my Samhain video back in October. I'm so happy you all contacted/commented at me to do this because I had a lot of fun chatting with you about the complete basics of what scrying is.
So let's chill out and cover the first several questions many ask about scrying and divination in general. What is scrying? What are the types of scrying? How do you interpret images in a reading? And how symbolism is so important in our practice. We're covering a lot so let's get into it!

When I thought of scrying I just thought it was looking into mirrors I didn’t realise I naturally have done many of these things like cloud gazing, looking into my grandmothers fire as a child and seeing things in the flames, looking into the water when washing up and seeing patterns etc...I need to look into this more because I’ve always done a form of it without realising thank you so much for this informative video xx
You are just slightly crazy !
RandomComputer right....
@@BeverleyButterfly yes, there is nothing in it, to think otherwise is crazy. Have a shit in your toilet and look at it, you might patterns. It doesnt mean a thing
RandomComputer i think crazy is reading and commenting on videos I have no belief or interest in but that’s just me. Glad you enjoy trolling I much prefer to bring positivity to the world have a lovely day
Same thing here
Also dreams are a form of scrying, especially if you fall asleep with an intention and goal in mind
Same as setting an intention for meditation or a cannabis experience
Had a reading and was told scrying is one of my gifts
What sort of reading ?
@@thevancave7218 a general reading of my spiritual gifts
Ayeee same
You're such a good nonbiased teacher! Meaning you don't tell us "this is what fox means" you tell us to use our own knowledge and backgrounds pertaining to foxes to let us know that everything is individualized. You don't push on us your way of practice. I love watching your videos! Keep up the good work!!
Just want to say as a tip for anyone who may have issues writing down what you see because it's like breaking away from your focus. Just put your phone on voice record and speak
So my personal experience, with a previous crystal ball, was that I would rarely do any scrying. But I'd talk to it fairly often, hold and touch it, wipe it clean, and let it get full moonlight whenever possible. Never gave it a name, but I did give it it's own end table and space in my room. And a designated cloth to cover it during daylight hours.
I started noticing that I'd get visions and premonitions that would happen 90% of the time, within the next two weeks. I could tell what a card was before it was shown, I hit up a casino, leaving my ball at home, and I played blackjack so well they switched the decks out with a different one and I had a bad feeling, so I left.
My intuition was on fire, on point all the time, I knew where to be and when, everything. I was much more empathetic towards people as well.
Plus my cat, and orange tiger stripe, whom I'd had since he was a kitten, was also incredibly intuitive.
I don't know if the ball was helping me in some way, or acting as a conduit between me and my cat, but after I had to put down my cat, and i discarded my ball into Lake Superior (I had to, or an evil and very selfish person was going to get her hands on it, and I couldn't think of a better place to retire it) after that point, my abilities diminished significantly.
The difference was literally night and day. Idk if my cat was part of it or not, but that is my experience with my crystal ball.
Scrying is amazing and so enlightening. You can do it anytime. You just need to open up your mind and signs will pop up. Although if they dont that's fine. Not everyone connects to the divine in the same way!
But how do you open up your mind?
@@ELheretik1351 well that's hard to say how. just let go of preconceptions. break down barriers. dont tell yourself that you cant see signs around you because you can and they are there. be. open. minded. as you would if youre having a conversation with someone with alternate view. be open to different truths
"... and you're like 'yeah, this is so great. I love the way that she talks, she's got this awesome way of explaining shit' ..." -- yup, pretty much. I really love your perspective, approach, and just overall vibe. Keep being awesome, Gen!
Let me just say-- BLESS YOU!!! Thank you so much for taking this approach! It resonates with my practice so much, and it can be so challenging to find other teachers or TH-camrs who I can trust! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have taught me so much!
Thank you so much for the knowledge! Your voice is great as well ❤
Had a reading and got to know that scrying is one of my natural gifts, it's totally understandable now I've been doing this since childhood
One of the things I love about your videos is your research is global. It’s important that our community is aware that the craft and practices exist around the world. As a heriditary islander with a mixed bloodline, I truly appreciate this. Oil on water, a version of Lecanomancy, is very much a kitchen witch thing to do 🤗 Mama use to do this. The African names you mentioned are, I believe, part of Santeria. Another great video!
Thank you so much. It was extremely helpful to get started and trying new divination forms. I usually only use cards but I would also love to try other methods. Have a beautiful week!
This was such a great video. I really appreciate your diligence in accurately discussing divination across cultures.
Thank you for your thorough explanation. I will be trying some of these methods soon!
Thank you so much for this explanation. Very well presented.
Love your energy. Thank you for being real.
Thank you for making this video, and this video really helps to have a clear definition of the word 'scry'. At first, I was not familiar with the word because its origin is either Old English or French it can be something of a puzzle.
Hey Jen, I really appreciated the research you shared with us on scrying, interesting, thanks. This is the first time I've seen any of your posts, I like it. Enjoy your easy manner and sense of humour. I'll be back for more. Cheers
Loved your video. I'm from Brasil and I understand some of the African divination you mentioned and I need to point out to you that the Ifá is actually a deity that will pass the message to the reader not through gazing but from reading the 16 (or 8 or 21) seashells that are "thrown" onto the Ifá reading circle.
Your video just came across my feed and I am loving your content! So informative and straight up! Excellent presentation! Can’t wait to see more and will most likely binge watch the rest of your videos this wkd 😊
this was super helpful. im still a beginner and have been practicing paganism for two years now. scrying has been confusing. this really helped !
I enjoy your personality. Great content. It seems that I have inadvertently spent my life doing many of these things . To do them with intent may be a huge awakening for me
This is an awesome video- I feel like I struck gold! 😁 I learned a lot and you definitely piqued my interest in cloud scrying- I had never heard of it but love watching clouds.
thank you...very informative video.
Thank You that was very comprehensive and easy to follow...
This is such a well-done and informative video. Thank you!
In your example of the symbolism regarding the fox: both cultures examples sounds like they are indeed describing the same thing, but one seems to be more indicative of a positive use of these similar traits, while the other sounds like a deceptive use of the same traits. As you stated here: follow your intuition and take the message that most resonates to you.
Just subscribed because I adore your genuine personality!
Ty so much for this video I'm learning about
Scrying Ty.
Oil scrying going to give it a go👍. Thank you for sharing.
When you look at yourself in the mirror if you picture energy coming out of your third eye it’s really helpful too! Saw some weird shit! LOL
Awesome delivery...Keep on doin’ what your doing! 💛💛💛
The cloud one yes years ago I was sitting outside looking up at the sky and I saw this cloud with the image of my mom come forward and dissipate in the sky it kind of freaked me out but I started to feel lots of emotions and always wondered why I experienced that along with a lot of strange things since I was little. When I was younger my mom had the dream book and she knew about what certain numbers meant and other stuff and her obsession with nature and plants and guess what ? I turned out the same way . Thank you for sharing your info .
It's so relaxing listening to you,i could watch your videos for hours :)
Loved this video very thorough and helpful🙏💕
I think I've done it with just my eyes closed. Seeing colors and swirling shapes
I'm learning bone throwing (also heard it be called charm casting)
Great info! You mentioned you will have a how to video on Crystal Ball scrying but I can't seem to find it...
Hi thanks for this video, it was very informative and well explained....You seem so nice, totally my vibes type 🙌🌷
Much Gratitude
Is it possible to use a kaleidoscope as a scrying tool?
hey, that's a pretty cool idea-
This was such a great video 💗 I love how you incorporated multiple cultures. Also ‘babalawo’ is pronounced ba ba lou (think loud, but without the d!)
Thank you
Also during my mirror session my face turned into the shape of a panda and I’ve been seeing a lot of ladybugs in my house lately
Mirror scrying is scary ngl I start looking like an alien or a ghost just a couple minutes in😭
Anyone else able to scry using their own skin? Ive also used bath towels or other textured fabrics. Textured and placid hard surfaces as well-- popcorn ceilings, wood grain, bathroom appliances, and grooved or smudged glass doors/windows. Also reflective store front windows at night have accidentally sucked me into an energy central station.
Note, I've never done any scrying on purpose. It's always been by accident ever since I was a kid.
This video was so helpful thank u 😊
I have observed the different symbolisms of a fox with a raven in nearly the same exact way. While being a symbol of cleverness and agility in Native American lore, it most commonly is perceived as a symbol of death.
I had a dream about looking into a bowl of water and seeing things
So that’s why I’m here
omg i went straight to mirror gazing like months ago and dissociated. it wasn’t good i got lost in my eyes for like 20mins and then didn’t recognise myself fully or my room for a lil bit.
Live💚Learn💛Love❤
You should start posting again
Mirror gazing scared me too
Hi so i dont know if im here for scrying, but i need to know about how to lock mirrors(i read that at night, mirrors are good portals for bad spirits to enter your space and i really dont want that)
And flat TV screens
What are the dangers of this?
Hello, are reading coffee cup grains or tea leaf readings..scrying?
Hey have you heard of Joseph Smith? Did he used Scrying method?
Is scryying best in the day or night
One question
Does your third eye need to be open?
If so, I may not be able to do this. I’m not sure my third eye is ready to open, I don’t want to push it.
It helps ALOT. Mine was open wide as a kid and I forced it shut, finally managed to open it back up this year and so much happier
I have a question for you. I am someone who is very interested in evocation magic beyond just Goetia magic. When I scry, metaphorical, symbolic, and allegorical visions and sounds resonate in my mind, or I see things through the black mirror. However, when it comes to obtaining specific knowledge from angels or demons (for example, the first demon of Goetia, Bael, is said to teach magic that makes one's body invisible to others), I believe I need to receive the knowledge in a literal and direct manner rather than symbolic messages. For instance, if Bael were to teach me a spell to make myself invisible, the instruction should not be symbolic but rather a clear and precise explanation of the ingredients and ritual process.
Moreover, I believe that to scry at such a level, I must enter a very deep trance state. If I continue practicing scrying, will I be able to eventually scry in the way I desire, where I can read future events that will literally happen or see details such as the appearance of my date without any symbolism? How can I develop my scrying ability to reach the level I seek? Are there cases where people scry future events that happen exactly as they are seen, without symbolic interpretation, and communicate with spirits in a direct, non-symbolic way?
Didn't realise I was scrying naturally until I watched this video...
So I did this the other nite and It seemed like I was getting old and a little later my face started going all black in and out I don’t know what this means any ideas?
I need some advice :
When I was in highschool me and my best friend where doing a staring contest and she told me that she saw how she was going to die in my eyes
What does this mean?
I don’t know if this is true and I don’t want you to go off this but she was probably playing a prank on you. If she was, damn. That’s harsh.
But if she wasn’t pranking you, you have to dig deeper. Ask her what she saw more deeply. Then you will know what to expect
@@sam-wo3nd I don't think she was pranking me because she started crying instantly and has been scared to talk to me about it since
I love your videos:))
The most famous prophet in history, Michel Nostradamus actually gazed into a bowl for his prophecies
Casting bones?

Where can I get in touch with you to discuss a question about this?

Latin is the origin of most words used in western linguistics. Say "Latin" and you'll never be wrong about a Germanic/ romantic lexical. Ah, etymology.
"What the fuck is scrying.." - here it's over.
Have you ever met a demon ?
