A lost Art?
Scrying was, at one time, as familiar as turning on a television in modern times. There were tunnels built undground just for the purpose. Loved ones would seek out answers in order to help them make choices in their lives, but these days, many do not even know what the term means. The definition of the word "scrying" is "to foretell the future using a crystal ball or other reflective object or surface." The literal translation is "to glimpse."
When one pictures a gypsy looking into her crystal ball, this is what she is claiming to do!Whether she is actually discovering the future or a quick money venture depends on who you ask. Although common, scrying does not have to involve a crystal ball. Many items are used -most have a reflective surface. Water, mirrors, and crystals, for example, are pretty popular scrying tools.
