Hi guys!
Found this yesterday and tried it out last night :) I got some good results and thought Id share it with you all! (just wanted to see if it worked first ;))

-->>> This is a very basic method employing the dark liquid formula. Pour some bottled water into a medium-sized bowl such as a soup bowl. Add a few drops of blue or green food color to the water, enough to ensure that the liquid is dark and obscures the bottom of the bowl. At this point you should have a dark reflective surface to gaze into. Use two candles as your source of light, making sure that the light does not reflect upon the liquid. Setting them a foot or two in front of you, a candle off to each side should work.

Next, perform a series of hand passes over the liquid in the bowl, slowly and deliberately. In the magickal arts, the right hand generates an electrical charge and the left a magnetic charge. Left-handed passes attract and draw images, forming in the liquid. Right-handed passes will strengthen the images appearing there, and focus them more clearly.

Begin scrying by making left-handed passes over the bowl, in a clockwise circle, just a few inches above the water (palms open and facing down).

Stop, and gaze into the liquid, not at its surface, but deep into the bowl.

Usually several repeated passes of the hands are required during the scrying process.

Alternate between the left hand and the right hand. This requires patience and time. Use your intuition as you sit before the bowl. With practice, images will begin to form within the liquid. Sometimes they will be symbolic or suggestive images. At other times they may form as faces, objects, or places that you are already familiar with. It is important to simply allow the images to form. Do not rush them or become anxious when they appear. Try to remain calm and receptive. Watch the images until they fade away. At first, interpreting the meaning of what you see is often like trying to find meaning within a dream. With time, you will begin to understand the symbols, their meaning, and the importance of their appearance.
:D

Thanks Silver. I've been wanting to try this for some time now, although I've never got any specific info that you have now provided me with. My hubby has a very large, purple, crystal ball (darned expensive I may add!) but I've never had an affinity with it. I can't get those cheesy Hollywood-generated images out of my head. All those scarves, curtains, and hoop earrings...sheesh...it's just not me. The scrying bowl seems a little more folk magic to me, so I think I'll be more comfortable with it. :cool:

I am lazy by nature, and food color is sold closer to where I live than where spray paint is sold. :D I will give Rick's scrying mirror a try, too, but I'll check this scrying bowl out first.

Silver Venus, do you think it'd be necessary to leave this bowl out in the moonlight for cleansing a while before I begin scrying?

Thanks!

Good question :)
It depends if you mean power charging by cleasning? I dont think it would need cleasning, just charging.
Id leave it out in the full moon's rays for charging for about an hour while you ground yourself, meditate and get any props that you use ready, then go outside (or inside if you are doing it by a window) and see what you see :)

I found a Silver Bowl at a tagsale that I've been dying to use for scrying. It seems to me that it would be similar to mirror scrying. Does anyone else know if a Silver Bowl is good for scrying?
