Water Scrying — What is it and how do I do it?

So a lot of common methods of divination are candle/flame, tarot, runestones, pendulums, plamistry, tea leaf, and black mirror scrying (I personally use tarot, runestones, and water divination but I’d love to get into black mirror scrying!) however water scrying is something I rarely see on tumblr. So, I decided to make a post about it and some methods I use!!!

So, what is water scrying?

Water scrying is a divination technique where you look at water and analyze the images you see in it. It’s often said that it works best when done at natural water source under the moonlight, however, I often fill this one bowl I use only for magic (usually water divination, though) and do it in my backyard or at my window.

The best way to think about it is watching the light hit the water and finding the meaning in those creations. If you’re working with running water or a water source with tides or waves, this can help to enhance the way light bounces off the water, which is why many prefer doing it at a stream or beach. However, people don’t always have access to a place like this and I find a bowl of water under the moonlight works just as well.

Tips for doing water scrying

• Breathe. If you don’t see anything, don’t stress it. Sometimes the universe is just trying to calm you down.
• Try not to force the water to reflect light. If the water is perfectly still and you don’t see a lot of water reflecting, don’t stick your hand in and try to get the water to move. Changing location or your source of water is a much more accurate divination method.
• There are no rules. It’s up to you to decide what you see in the water means. Sometimes I journal some of the more prominent and reoccurring symbols I see, but for the most part it’s watching the water and feeling the energies and emotions that call out to me.

PSA: These are my personal beliefs and practices. Many people have their own methods, and every witch is different. I just wanted to bring some light to one of my favorite techniques.

Well, I hope this managed to be useful to some of you guys! Sorry about not posting in awhile I’ve had a ton of work lately (or if this is poor quality—I’ve been working on it during breaks). I love all of you and I hope you have a great day 💙
