Scrying Mirrors: Use and Creating Your Own (Throwback)

Scrying Mirrors are an ancient form of divination using the reflection of the dark glass to receive hidden messages and reveal secrets about the past, present, or future. Mirrors are gateways to the other side and can be portals for people and things to travel through if they know how. If you don't have a scrying mirror you can make one with a picture frame. 

Today we are going to make a scrying mirror out of a large frame! First we remove the glass and clean it very well. Go ahead and wipe down the frame also. 

I love the idea of a fancy designed frame so I took a glue gun to create fancy flourishes all around the frame. Smooth them out as best you can with the hot tip before they harden. Once hard we are going to spray the frame silver. 

Using a paint brush and black paint mixed with water paint over the entire frame. Wait just a few seconds and use a paper towel to wipe off the excess paint leaving a dark finish and black in the deep spaces. This will give the frame a more vintage tarnished look. 

While the frame dries lets take our glass outside and place down on a covered surface. Spray the surface with black spray paint evenly. You will need a couple coats and let them dry in between. If you use chalkboard paint you can have a reversible mirror or write magickal symbols on the back of the scrying mirror to boost the power. 

Once the paint has completely dried place the glass in the frame and close it up. Hang up on the wall or set on a shelf with a holder. The mirror pictured wasn't cleaned well enough and a partial palm print was left on the glass leaving behind a ghostly image in the paint so we used this one for haunted house stuff rather than magick. 

So now you can make your own scrying mirror! Be sure to cleanse, consecrate, and charge the mirror before using. Wiping down with a salt water mixture will cleanse it. You can use conjure oil and incense smoke to consecrate and charge it as well. For added power paint spiritual or psychic symbols on the back before closing up the frame. 

Don't feel like making one? You can click the picture above to purchase one of ours!

Contacting the Otherside with a Pendulum and Answer Board

A pendulum and answer board is probably the most simple of the divination and spirit communication methods available today. A pendulum is just a crystal or other pointed object suspended from a string or chain used to get answers by swinging over an answer board. An answer board can be made with a piece of cardboard or paper or a fancy little board like the one we are making today and have some of the "answer" options to the questions you want to ask. The options can be anything you want from Yes or No to colors, numbers, dates, names, etc. We even carry decorated boards in the shop that have blank spaces you can write any answer options you want so you can customize your pendulum sessions as needed. And they add a bit of class to your professional readings. 

Pendulums are believed to work by accessing the collective unconscious, spirit realm, or your own subconscious depending on your beliefs. Personally, I believe it's the collective, or Akashic records, we are accessing when using pendulums. Unless you specifically request to speak to a spirit directly. Either way if you are getting the answers you need that is all that matters. Before using your pendulum you must calibrate it. To do this begin by establishing the direction you want for each answer option like 'yes' or 'no'. Next ask questions you know to be true and be sure it responds correctly each time. Next ask questions you know are false and do the same. Once you are satisfied with how it is working you can begin using it for magick and divination.

So, how do you make a pendulum and answer board? Let's get started!  

        ANSWER BOARD

        Materials needed:

A wooden board (you can get one at Michael's or cut your own)

Sandpaper

A pencil

A piece of tracing paper

A print out of the board design you want

Paint

Paintbrushes

Spray Sealer

Newspaper to cover your work surface

 

The first thing we want to do is sand our board clean and smooth.

   

Next you want to paint the board your background color and then draw the picture and choices on the board. If drawing isn’t your jam then you can print the picture and  trace it from the back of the paper so it will be front ways when you apply it. Trace it with a pencil and be careful not to blow the dust away or put your hand in it. Print your image backwards and trace with a pencil. Then flip the paper and place on the board and trace again leaving the image on the board. 

 

 

 Don’t forget to paint the edges of your board! Now you can paint the details, and then clean up any smears you may have from the pencil. Spray a few coats of sealer on the board to protect your work and it is ready for use! 

          

 PENDULUM

                You will need:

A crystal with a definite point

A 6 ½” chain or rope

2 - 10” wires to wrap your crystal

3” wrap wire

A bead of your choosing

Flat nose pliers

Round Nose Pliers

Wire Cutters

The first thing we want to do is to wrap our crystal so it can be hung from a chain. Take your 2 wires and bed them into an L shape in the center. Hold them so that they face each other and make a small square in the center. 

 

Place the bottom of the crystal through the square and twist the ends with your pliers 6 times. Then fold the twisted wire flat against the stone towards the top and  start twisting the new sides together. 

     Bring the sides to the top of the crystal, hold together, and bend the wire back with the round nose pliers into a bail.  Take your wrap wire and wrap it around the bail. Cut off the excess wires and flatten.

                                              

 Cut a 2” – 3” length of wire and run through the bead. Use your flat nose pliers to hold the wire and the bead. While using the round nose pliers make a small loop and wrap the excess around the loop to hold it in place. Do the same with the other end but slip it through the chain before closing it off. This bead at the end will help you to hold onto the pendulum when using it. Use a jump ring (or make one with wire) to hold the pendulum to the chain, and you are done!

Your pendulum can be any design that fits you and makes you happy. It can be a dedicated design like the one we just made or a blank design to be customized as you see fit like the one below. I hope you enjoyed our craft for today! Click HERE to pick out a beautiful pendulum and board from the shop to go with the board you made! Variety is always a good thing! 

HAPPY WITCHING!!

Egg Shells Used in Magick

Eggs and their shells have many uses in magick from fertility, to protection and transmutation to hexes. The symbolism of the egg, of course, is what gives the fertility and longevity powers. The egg is the first stage leading to life. It is the hope that we will continue on as a species. But what about the shell? How can the shell itself be used in magick?

The shell of an egg is what protects the goo inside until it becomes a chicken. This is what gives it the protective properties it possesses in magick. But the shell doesn't just protect what is inside from harm until it's ready to come out. It also can be used as a prison to hold something harmful inside protecting the world on the outside from its energy. This is one of the reasons eggs are used in cleansing rituals in Hoodoo and Hispanic magick traditions. This property is also why it can be used to hex or curse. You can trap anything inside the egg shell not just negativity. You can trap someone else's happiness or sanity in there as well. Keeping it from them until the egg is broken and discarded properly. 

Nanoparticles of calcium carbonate crystals are arranged by protein to create the shell. The shells are not solid due to this they are comprised of many pores which is the property that makes them great for transmutation spell. These spells take harmful energy sent to you by another practitioner, karma, the universe, etc. and send the negativity back while keeping the power used to sent it and turn it into positive energy in your life. The "pores' of the shell allow the power to pass through while the carbonate shell send the negativity back to where it came from. 

The Eggs pictured above are another type of egg magick. These eggs are hollowed out and filled with herbs, crystal chips, magick, and blessing for hope, love, beauty, etc. They are held and empowered by one person and then broken over the head of another to raint he blessing down on them and their souls! These eggs are wonderful for any celebration of life, milsestone, etc.

I had a song stuck in my head and while making dinner I said one line really loudly with feeling!
   Lance: hahahahaha. Well that just came out of nowhere.
   Me: Nuh uh! It came out of my mouth.

Draven had his birthday party at a paranormal location in middle school. Kids not listening to instructions for ghost hunt
   Me: it's all Fun and games until someone loses their soul!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Draven: No thank you!
Me: What?
Draven: that woman has 4 kids. Two sets of twins. That means half of them look alike!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Connor: does Chase have a job?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lance asked me to move and then to move again.
   Me: what the fuck, fucker!?!!
   Draven: wow mom. Great vocabulary.
   Me: it's all I got left with three teenage boys.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Draven: My roach trap would be a square you plug into the wall and when a roach comes into view it's fried at by a high power laser beam.

Me: lasers? Really?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Told Connor to CLEAN up pee pee with mop bucket and rag.
   Connor: Eeewww. I got a bucket full of pee.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mark: A person can die of stupid.

Draven: Oh no! Connor could go at any minute!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draven had a report to do on Thomas Jefferson so he wanted Connor to let him turn in the one he did the previous year in that class.
   Mark: no Draven you have to do your own work. They'll know you copied it if its the same as Connors was.
   Draven: nuh uh. Of course it would be the same. It's the same president.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kids are being loud in the kitchen while I’m trying to write a research paper.

   Me: If you guys don’t’ stop yelling while I’m writing this paper I will cut your tongues out and staple them to your foreheads!!

   Draven: Hey Connor soon you WILL be able to lick your eyeball!! (c0nnor is autistic and has never understood why he can't lick his own eyeball)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Connor: I am -12 years old so I don't exist. 

Me: if you don't exist I can't talk to you. 

Connor: why not? 

Me: I'm Prejudice against people who don't exist. They are nothing to me. 

Lance: Wow mom!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Connor: wine tastes bad to the sober tongue 

Me: my tongue likes it and I'm sober. But if it would make you feel better I can go smoke some pot and then enjoy my wine. 

Draven: I think it'll make everyone feel better. 

Me: O.O

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draven: mom I burned a bully at school today. 

Me: oh yeah. How?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I came down the stairs one day when Draven was playing Playstation with his friends on mic.

Lance: you're a crack whore

Draven: I DO NOT SMOKE CRACK!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draven: in my government the head of the senate has 2 things. The power to break ties in the senate and a motive to kill the president. If the president dies he gets it all.
