Scrying Bowls
Outdoor water scrying by the light of the moon is not easy for most of us nowadays. As a result, many people prefer to use scrying bowls.In theory any vessel can be used as a scrying bowl, however as with all forms of divination atmosphere is important. Tap water in a washing up bowl is hardly conducive to psychic inspiration!
There are many special scrying bowls you can buy on the market. Some are simple and plain, others intricate and quite beautiful. Most tend to have reflective surfaces, often made of glass or silver, however some people prefer a dark base which is more akin to the depths of a natural lake. Very often the bowls are sold together with a stand or tripod. There are so many choices - as always, rely on your intuition to tell you which is "right" for you.
Water
Ideally, the water for scrying should be collected from a natural source. Many people recommend doing this at night - some say by the light of the full moon.In reality of course this will be impractical for most people in the modern world. However you should try to find some way to make your scrying water special - perhaps using a particular brand of natural spring water which you buy for no other purpose.
