I am very interested in scrying, I think it could improve my spirit work, however I have been attempting it for months and I'm not seeing any direct visible results. I have an Obsidian Ball, an Amethyst Ball, a Glass Ball, and an Obsidian Mirror from Mexico, I feel a strong connection to the obsidian especially, while I have not seen anything tangible in obsidian, I've seen a swirling darkness or fog, that I described in my notes as being like "boundless Erebus," I also have a great feeling of relaxation and comfort when I stare into obsidian, but no visions. I have seen visions in a candle's flame before, so I think that I am capable of scrying, I just haven't had any success with crystal gazing yet. I think there might be a couple of factors as to why, one is that I'm very scatterbrained (there is a more medical/psychological diagnosis for this, but I'll say scatterbrained here) and have trouble focusing on a singular point, I'm getting better at this through meditation, as well as medication, but my eyes are often drawn away from the crystal towards the incense or candles or statues on my altar, the other is that I probably spend too much time praying over the crystal from one of my books instead of gazing at it, I'm a very "Hocus Pocus" type of Magus, I obsess over speech and the power of prayer, and while these are good things, I worry that these prayers might often distract me from just gazing at the crystal. Also, I'm just now figuring out how to do meditative breathing properly (I got a copy of The Hindu Yogi Science of Breath last year and am utilizing it) and as I understand it, this is also important for scrying. A special thanks to the Reverend Dr. Jon Saint Germain, because without the book Crystal Magic, I would still be lost as to how to use crystals in my spellwork, I, indeed, have been using crystals in my spells, but no visions. I DO NOT ACCEPT that I cannot scry, and I don't want to find an "Edmund Kelley" to gaslight me into seeing and speaking to angels, what should I do, going foward? Thank you all in advanced.
