Frequently asked questions

What is a scrying mirror used for?

Scrying mirrors are used for meditation and divination: you gaze softly into the dark surface, often by candlelight, and note the images or thoughts that arise. This is a spiritual practice, not a medical one.

How do I care for an obsidian mirror?

Obsidian is glass and can chip, so handle it carefully, wipe it with a soft cloth, and store it wrapped.
