Obviously that one was smuggling dynamite, a bit of jet fuel and some sparkly skyrockets . We have a retirement home for old locos here , up on top of the escarpment ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorrigo_Steam_Railway_and_Museum Hmmmmm .... old locos .... escarpment ..... I'm getting an idea ! Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, in a movie, when cars 'explode' (for whatever reason ), they want them to go upwards, so they have these huge springs and lifters under them . Sometimes they go off first and it looks like the car 'levitates' for no reason ... and then explodes in the air . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lost in Translation Posted September 25, 2018 The moon is full tonight. Get them scrying balls out! (As in "crystal", you know - like rocks) Ah, hell! Get your mind out of the gutter and scry... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silent thunder Posted September 25, 2018 Interesting that quartz crystals are integral to electronic communication... or at least they were, not sure about more recent developments. And they've been used for scrying and communicating with the non-local/conscious self for much of human history. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inside the crystal I could see a smaller crystal - like a luminescent orb of light. It was pretty awesome. Other times I've seen lights dancing in and around the ball, but never any discrete images. I do get flashes of knowledge - data injections - but that's all. It's like meditation except there is a ball in front of me and my eyes are open. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lost in Translation Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) OMG my scrying ain't working! I sit there, staring at the crystal, and all I get is sleepy. I need to mix things up. Perhaps a good dose of full sunlight rock scrying is what I need. Moonlight crystal scrying is going nowhere... Edited October 7, 2018 by Lost in Translation Changed "drying" to "scrying" - thanks a bunch, autocorrect 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fa Xin Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Years ago when I would practice scrying, after a few mins ... my mind would wander and I would see what I was intending to scry in my imagination/minds eye. I think ultimately that’s what happens with scrying... your physical eyesight and your minds eye kind of combine into one? I could be wrong. I find its much easier to cut out the physical part and close my eyes. The physical (in this case your surroundings) can become another obstacle... more stimulation, more distraction. Just my thoughts on the matter. I wish you luck on it! It was something I never could do well 😊 Edited October 8, 2018 by Fa Xin 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, I think you are right .... in my experience anyway. In scrying, but more so in evocation . Nothing ! Zilch ! Triangle empty ! I had 'Solomon's Ring ' ( that supposedly assists one to see spirits ) ...nope. But as I looked further into the design of said ring, something hit me ; maybe I am not supposed to be wearing it but looking through it ? I tried that, nope. Then I tried closing my eyes and holding the ring up to my third eye and 'looking' through it ... Bingo ! There you are , you little fucker ! Got three heads and everything . The most visuals I ever got from scrying was using Enochian tablets, doing the ritual and the chants in Enocian, 'opening' the tablets, travelling into their dimension and entering the pyramids that are like gateways to other worlds . Rather 'fantastical' 'in ' there . Enochian water tablet Pyramids that make up the tablets. one of the 'keys' in 'Angelic language' ; Ol sonuf vaoresaji, gohu IAD Balata, elanusaha caelazod: sobrazod-ol Roray i ta nazodapesad, Giraa ta maelpereji, das hoel-qo qaa notahoa zodimezod, od comemahe ta nobeloha zodien; soba tahil ginonupe pereje aladi, das vaurebes obolehe giresam.

So, with all the gear required, the set up, the ritual, the meditation, the strange 'barbarous ' chanting , puts ones mind in another zone. I am not surprised that just staring into a crystal ball gives poor results. Its a bit like buying a magic wand and expecting 'powers' from waving it around, however, if you want to practice ritual magic, you will need a wand . ... I am sure people here can work out what is going on with that . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lost in Translation Posted October 28, 2018 After about a month of "cray-cray" business, I finally have a bit of down time. BACK TO SCRYING! I'm saging my crystals now. Mmmm, sage. Speaking of sage, there was a time when I HATED that smell. That was also a time when I was pissed off and angry all the time. Now I LOVE the smell and I'm generally a happy guy. I think I had a "hitchhiker" of sorts (not possession, just occupation). Stupid little spirits... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lost in Translation Posted November 10, 2018 I was watching the movie Constantine, with Keanu Reeves. There was a scene where he used water and a living cat to scry his way into hell to search for a lost soul. Pretty cool stuff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lost in Translation Posted November 10, 2018 I wonder if my cat would let me stare into his eyes... probably not. It's best not to try. The last thing I need is to have an eye coughed out by a 9 1/2 lb (4.3 kg for you metric types) house cat. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted November 10, 2018 Cats don't normally hold their eye to eye stares for very long. Once they have determined out intentions they release the stare. But then, don't try that with the big cats. They will detect your fear and kill you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All cats are big cats, even if they have small bodies. I got in a fight with a stray tabby once. He bit and scratched me to the tune of $1,000 in emergency room bills. Not fun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suggest a scrying table, with a hole cut out the centre , stick puss's head through that and gaffa tape his body to the underside, that way you can sit there for hours staring into his eyes , in safety ..... your safety, that is . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
