Obsidian is my personal choice material for scrying mirrors. Scrying is the oldest, and one of the most advance forms of divination. Scrying, or “peeking” … tricky, deep, and can get very dark, very quick. Obsidian is a stone of physic protection, grounding, cleansing of negativity, and spirit communication. So it is in my opinion, the excellent stone to use for both its practical mirrored surface, and its energetic properties while performing this practice.

Black Obsidian scrying mirror, perfect for all your scrying work. Made with natural materials, some imperfections are to be expected. This is not black glass – This is 100% real obsidian stone.

Among the most popular and beloved of magical tools, the magic mirror is common to many traditions, being especially beloved in ancient Egyptian, Chinese, Western ceremonial, Aztec, and Italian folk magic. It is most commonly used for:

• Scrying
• Spirit summoning
• Spirit Communication
• Protective magic
• Demonic messages
• Divination
• Spell Work

Although the mirror is a reflective tool, magically it’s also believed to possess powers of absorption. Like a crystal, mirrors absorb and store information. Anything once reflected in a mirror, particularly over an extended period of time, is “stored” and may be accessed for future use. Thus the mirror is a primary tool for drawing down lunar and solar energy. It also bears a reputation as a soul catcher. Whether this use is positive or malefic depends upon the intent of the spell-caster.

If you are using the mirror for casting spells, spiritual communication or as an amulet, you may not wish anyone else to have the opportunity to look into your mirror. Therefore you will need a small, discreet mirror. If used for divination, whether professional or for personal use, a larger mirror may be used and perhaps left out in the open.

If at all possible, when scrying, hold this mirror so that it points toward the physical direction of whomever or whatever you wish to see.

If you are looking for a specific size of the magic mirror or you don’t see what you need available, please contact us as we have a large range not displayed on the website.

• The original ritual sourced from the Grimoire of Arthur Gauntlet provides a prayer immediately after the preliminary that follows the tradition of coercion. I am not one for coercion and so have chosen to provide the next prayer which does not use any threatening language but bids the spirit to come.
• The second is of a test of angels and the like, to which one asks the following: Do you confess to His Coming? to which, if the spirit is of God, is bound to say Jesus Christ is Lord or, from personal experience, some other rendition of the such.
• The next is of the bonding, it is of good nature to establish the relationship but also to ask the spirit for a sign of its loyalty, this is simply an assurance between the magus and the spirit that the spirit will aid the magus and not act out of line. This is often done by the establishing of a pact whereby the magus signs and so to does the spirit by astral signature.
• The last note is on that alterations. Some of us are not necessarily fully obliged to Abrahamic Doctrine but the Book of Oberon gives, for us that follow the ways of the Infernal Divine, an interesting note that Lucifer is considered the Father of all Devils and cannot be summoned directly but his name is of such power in the Infernal Realm that it carries with it the ability to summon and bind spirits. The Grimoire Verum provides Lord Lucifer alongside Mother Astaroth and Father Baalzebuth as superior spirits invoked prior to ritual. Therefore, one could invoke by the name of Lucifer, the Sacrament of the Black Flame (being the inner spark of Divinity which grants the magus the ability to do magic and also to gain attainment amongst the said LHP) and the like. One may also include simply the name IAO, which is often considered as a notarikon as I am the Alpha and the Omega. From understanding, one may consider this as an all encompassing force, everything from the Active, to the Inactive, Alpha et Omega.
• Edit – upon further reading of the prayer, I have found that it is a bit harder to transcribe… so I will be writing it and make little corrections for future’s sake
