LAMP SCRYING

LAMP SCRYING

Both the Egyptians and Babylonians scryed by means of an oil lamp. The lamp itself was in fact a stone shaped as a low open dish with a strip of white linen coiled in the oil that had an end hanging over the end of the dish.

 The Egyptians used clear Oasis oil which was a kind of palm oil. The clearer the oil the better.

The Egyptians used a lamp that was red in colour which is the colour of the God Set. Set is in fact the God of evil.

It may be advisable for you to use a white lamp. Place your lamp on a table and sit on the west side facing east across the lamp.

You should address your invocation to the Greco Roman God who rules the day you scry on.

Sunday : Sun.

Monday : Moon.

Tuesday : Mars.

Wednesday : Mercury.

Thursday : Jupiter.

Friday : Venus.

Saturday : Saturn.

Using the name of the God of the day you should chant a suitable invocation doing so directly into the flame. This invocation should be chanted in a soft voice and done so several times.

Gently focus on the flames of the lamp. You will begin to see moving shadows off to the side.

Do not look directly at the shadows or they will vanish. Ask the shadows what it is you seek.

You may hear voices or you may see images.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 9

While the Moon in Cancer is still in void uncertainty mode, the cosmos offers you a trio of favorable alignments and one clunker. The positive aspects include Venus trine Pluto (1:05AM PDT) and Venus making an inspirational, 72-degree to Vesta (1:10AM PDT) while Juno trines Uranus (3:37AM PDT), and Venus also makes a potentially frictional contra-parallel to Saturn (3:46AM PDT).  Venus — being involved in three of four of these sky patterns — puts you on notice that love bonds and monetary issues require due diligence. The fact that the Moon is void while this hullabaloo is happening is another reason why it is hard to find true stability during this time-period.  The Moon’s arrival in fiery, warmhearted Leo (4:56AM PDT) should remove a certain amount of overall doubt and confusion. Allow your inner child to come out to play for several hours. Your creative artistic spirit has extra potency, but watch out for a rising tide of egocentricity as Mercury forms an off-kilter, 150-degree to Uranus (8:39AM PDT) and the Sun clashes with Mars via a frictional, 45-degree tie (11:32AM PDT).  Strive for serenity and, while you are at it, tune into a larger dimension of self-confidence as a grand trine in fire signs develops where the Moon trines Mars (8:19AM PDT) and Uranus (4:36PM PDT). Put your best foot forward in a favorite craft or hobby.
