⚫ Black Mirror Scrying: Peering Into the Shadows of the Unknown
Step right up, my mystical visionary, because today we’re diving deep into the world of black mirror scrying—a practice so eerily powerful, even the most seasoned seers get chills! Whether you’re looking to gaze into the void, chat with spirits, or glimpse the future, a black mirror is your gateway to the unseen.
Unlike a crystal ball that sparkles with light, a black mirror absorbs it, pulling you into the depths of mystery and revelation. Ready to unlock its secrets? Let’s get into it!
What is a Black Mirror?
A black mirror is a dark, reflective surface used for scrying—staring into it to receive visions, insights, or messages from the spiritual realm. Traditionally, these mirrors are made from glass coated with black paint or a dark tint, but obsidian mirrors (like the ones used by ancient sorcerers) fall into this category too.
Think of it as your own personal portal to the subconscious, spirit world, and beyond. The darkness draws your mind inward, helping you see what lies beneath the surface of reality.
Why Use a Black Mirror for Scrying?
⚫ Spirit Communication – Many mediums and witches use black mirrors to connect with ancestors, guides, or even the dearly departed.
⚫ Shadow Work & Self-Discovery – Since it reflects both the seen and unseen, a black mirror helps you explore your deepest fears, suppressed emotions, and hidden strengths.
⚫ Prophetic Visions – The mirror can reveal glimpses of the future, past lives, or messages from higher beings.
⚫ Dreamwork & Astral Travel – Some use it as a tool for enhancing lucid dreaming or even projecting their consciousness into other realms.
⚫ Protection & Focus – Unlike traditional mirrors, which scatter reflections, a black mirror acts as a psychic shield, focusing your energy while keeping external distractions at bay.
How to Make a Black Mirror (DIY Magic!)
Want to create your own witchy scrying mirror? It’s easier than you think!
Supplies:
✔️ A glass picture frame (any size works, but 8x10 inches is great for holding while scrying)
✔️ Black acrylic paint or spray paint
✔️ A soft cloth for cleaning
✔️ (Optional) Moon water, herbal washes, or essential oils for cleansing
Instructions:
1️⃣ Remove the glass from the frame and clean it thoroughly—no streaks or fingerprints allowed!
2️⃣ Flip it over and paint the back with multiple coats of black acrylic or spray paint. Let each coat dry before adding another.
3️⃣ Once dry, place the glass back into the frame with the painted side facing inward (this keeps the front glossy and smooth).
4️⃣ Cleanse and bless your mirror with moon water, incense smoke, or an anointing oil of your choice.
5️⃣ Charge it under the full moon or in a sacred space before using.
Boom—your very own enchanted black mirror is ready for action!
How to Scry with a Black Mirror
Alright, mystic, let’s get you set up for a powerful, otherworldly scrying session!
1. Set the Scene
Scrying requires focus, so create a dimly lit, distraction-free space. Many practitioners prefer candlelight, as flickering flames enhance the trance-like state.
✔️ Turn off bright lights (soft candle glow is best).
✔️ Burn mugwort, myrrh, or sandalwood to heighten psychic energy.
✔️ Place a black cloth behind the mirror to reduce reflections.
✔️ Set out grounding crystals like obsidian, hematite, or smoky quartz to anchor your energy.
2. Cleanse & Prepare Your Mirror
Since black mirrors absorb energy, always cleanse them before use.
✔️ Pass the mirror through incense smoke or Palo Santo.
✔️ Charge it under the new moon for shadow work or full moon for illumination.
✔️ Hold it in your hands and set your intention—“Reveal what I need to see.”
3. Enter a Trance State
Now, the real magic begins!
✔️ Relax and take deep breaths.
✔️ Hold or place the mirror at eye level.
✔️ Soften your gaze and look "through" the mirror, not at your own reflection.
✔️ Let your mind drift—don’t force images; let them come naturally.
At first, you may see only darkness. Then, slowly…
🔮 Shadows and mist might swirl across the surface.
🔮 Flickering lights or shapes may appear.
🔮 Faces, symbols, or landscapes could form—trust what you see!
🔮 A sense of knowing or deep emotions might arise instead of visuals.
4. Ask Questions & Observe
If seeking specific guidance, mentally ask questions like:
- What do I need to know about my spiritual journey?
- Who is trying to communicate with me?
- What message does my higher self have for me?
The answers may come as images, words in your mind, or deep intuitive feelings.
5. Close & Ground Yourself
Once your session feels complete:
✔️ Thank any spirits or guides that came through.
✔️ Close the session by saying, “I release this vision and close this gateway.”
✔️ Touch something grounding (a crystal, the floor, a tree).
✔️ Write everything down in a journal—insights may make more sense later!
Enhancing Your Black Mirror Scrying Practice
✨ Work with the Moon – The new moon is best for shadow work, while the full moon brings clarity.
✨ Use a Single Candle Behind You – This prevents direct reflection and allows shapes to emerge naturally.
✨ Combine with Other Divination – If you’re unsure about a vision, pull a tarot card for extra insight.
✨ Trust Yourself – The more you practice, the clearer your visions become!
Black Mirror vs. Other Scrying Tools
⚫ Black Mirror – Best for deep subconscious work, spirit communication, and shadow work.
🖤 Obsidian Mirror – Similar to black mirrors but naturally charged with protective and grounding energy.
🔮 Crystal Ball (Quartz, Amethyst, or Obsidian) – Works well for general divination and high-vibration insights.
💧 Water Scrying – Dreamlike visions and emotional/spiritual guidance.
🔥 Flame Scrying – Quick, spontaneous insights through fire gazing.
Black mirror scrying isn’t just mystical—it’s transformational. Whether you’re uncovering past life secrets, peering into the spirit realm, or seeking deep self-reflection, this practice offers a direct line to the hidden truths of the universe.
So grab your black mirror, light a candle, and stare into the abyss—because sometimes, the abyss has something magical to say.
