There can be a lot of confusion around birth dates numerology compatibility. Is it psychic? Is it strictly mathematics? Is it related to astrological signs? Is it only something that psychic people can truly determine?

Some people may wonder how it connects with other types of subjective sciences such as astrology, psychic palm readings, tarot cards and similar alternative measures for defining the future.

The answer is that numerology is a little of all of these things. Birth dates numerology compatibility is another way of determining the likelihood of lifelong happiness between a couple as well as helping to identify character traits that can better predict appropriate love matches.

There are several components of numerology that utilize numbers to associate with certain letters or events. Birth dates numerology compatibility is unique in that for the most part, a person never really has any influence on their birth dates. In the realm of numerology birth dates are pre-determined by forces well beyond those on earth and is hence one of the purest forms of identifying character and compatibility.

What Is Numerology?
Numerology is the study of the symbolism of numbers. It is used to determine a person’s personality, strengths and talents, obstacles to be overcome, inner needs, emotional reactions and ways of dealing with others.

A Little History
The roots of numerology can be traced back some 10,000 years or more to Egypt and Babylonia. Pythagoras, who developed many of the basic theorems that form the foundation of modern mathematics (including the right triangle theorem taught in math classes today) is credited with formally organizing the field about 2600 years ago in ancient Greece.

At the turn of the twentieth century, an American woman, L. Dow Balliet, and several of her contemporaries published a few books and started the modern phase of numerology.

The field grew slowly through several decades. Now, in the last half of the century, increased research and publishing along with a marked resurgence of interest in numerology is taking place.

How Numerology Works
Everything in the universe vibrates at its own particular frequency. By finding the vibration rate of any object, you can establish the qualities and energies associated with it.

By applying the principles of numerology — and using only the name and birth date as the basic data — you can determine the major frequencies of different people. A numerological analysis of the calculated frequencies provides significant information on these people’s personalities and character.

The Basic Numerology Calculation
In the basic mathematical operation used in numerology, the numbers are reduced by simple addition. The number 15, for instance, is reduced by adding 1 + 5 to get 6. Similarly, the number 1974 can be reduced by adding 1 + 9 + 7 + 4 to get 21. The 21 can be further reduced by adding 2 + 1 to get 3.

In numerology, all numbers are reduced to the single digits 1 through 9 except the special master numbers 11 and 22. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 22 represent the major vibration rates associated with people’s characteristics.

Letters in individuals’ names are converted to numbers and then added together. These numbers, in turn, are also reduced. The letter A, for instance, is 1; the letter B is 2; the letter C is 3, and so forth. The following table shows the numbers assigned to all 26 letters in the English alphabet.

By applying simple mathematical formulas to the numbers representing a person’s name and birth date, a numerologist can derive four major core elements and some twenty or thirty modifiers.

A symbolic evaluation of these elements and modifiers provides a remarkably complete and accurate character analysis. (About half the information in the analysis, incidentally, comes from the birth date and half from the name.)

The Symbolism Of Numbers
The symbolic analysis of the single digits and master numbers is the essence of a numerological character analysis. Since so many numbers are present and modify each other, the analysis is, as you might expect, a considerably complex operation. When you understand the basic symbolism of the numbers outlined below, though, you’ll have a useful grasp which should make it easier for you to interpret the various parts of a numerology reading.

1: Independence, Individuality, Attainment; Leadership, Pioneering, Administrating.
This number brings strong leadership potential. As a person with this number develops this ability, they may be able to assume a significant position in the business or political world. One of the major lessons of this number is to learn the benefits of being independent.

A person with this number must first learn to stand comfortably on their own two feet without leaning on other people. After that, they can advance themselves by using their ability for organizing, leading and managing.

Some people spend much of their lives on the first part of the lesson. Others learn that part quickly and devote most of their lives to important leadership roles.

2: Cooperation, Closeness, Sensitivity; Balance and Harmony, Supportive.
People with this number have an innate sensitivity and an extreme awareness of their own and others’ feelings. Because they are so touched by the subtleties of everyone’s emotions, they can understand a great deal from a word, a gesture or even an unspoken thought.

One of the major lessons of this number is to learn to balance that sensitivity so it contributes to one’s well-being instead of tripping oneself up. Rather than becoming hurt or resentful because of their unusual sensitivity, one must learn to use their responsiveness for their own and others’ benefit.

Although their sensitivity may feel like a weakness, particularly in their younger years, it is, without question, one of their important strengths.

3: Expressing Self, Joy of Living; Enthusiasm, Optimism, Creativity, Sociability.
Individuals with this number have a special gift, the potential to experience great delight in the pleasures of life. They sometimes affirm this delight with exhilarating enthusiasm, sometimes savor it with intense but quiet pleasure.

One of their major lessons of this number is to learn to fully appreciate and express this wonderful joy in living.

Those with this number enjoy people and spend considerable time socializing, either with many friends in varied activities or in the company of a few intimates engaged in quiet diversions. They’re also apt to enjoy using their considerable creative ability.

4: System and Order, Service, Sense of Limitation; Managing, Working Hard, Practical, Down-to-Earth.
Those with this number have the potential to work long, hard and patiently. If there’s a job requiring a good deal of time, much difficult work and careful attention to detail, they can probably do it well.

One of the major lessons of this number is to learn the advantage of using system and order.

A person with this number may choose a line of work in which their systematic approach can be developed. They’re likely to be good at establishing new routines and maintaining existing ones.

They will also experience limitations and restrictions at times in their life. Rather then struggle against these, it is necessary to learn to live with them, to accept them and make a meaningful life, not in spite of the limitations, but because of the limitations.

5: Constructive Use of Freedom; Variety, Excitement, Progressive, Creative.
A person with this number displays considerable versatility — the ability to do almost anything they attempt with superior skill. This innate capacity allows them a boundless freedom most people can only dream about.

One of the major lessons of this number is to learn to use this freedom constructively.

Since these individuals have so many talents and so many opportunities for the use of those talents, they probably have to learn to focus their energies on a limited number of ventures rather than attempt to take advantage of all the possibilities.

6: Balance, Responsibility, Love; Supportive, Comforting, Serving, Helping.
People with this number demonstrate an innate ability to comfort, help and serve others less able than themselves. They devote much of their effort to other people.

One of the major lessons of this number is to learn the special satisfactions that come from the responsibilities one accepts. Since others will quickly recognize the caring ways of those with this number and turn to them for the help they can provide, they are apt to commit themselves to far more than their fair share.

Although their sense of responsibility is one of their important strengths, they may have to learn that they don’t have to be responsible for everything or everybody.

7: Analysis, Understanding, Introspective; Search for Truth, Spiritual Understanding.
Individuals with this number have a fine analytical mind and are capable of much in the way of learning. They usually have the potential to understand fundamental truths as well as the capacity to search for ultimate meanings.

They may involve themselves in complex technical, scientific or philosophical studies. One of your major lessons of this number is to use one’s abilities to learn the peace of mind which can only come from knowing oneself and accepting and expressing one’s deepest feelings.

8: Material Satisfaction, Accomplishment; Desire for Success, Power, Recognition.
This number brings strong business ability. As a person with this number develops their executive and administrative talents, they may want to run their own business or, at the least, play a significant role in some commercial venture.

One of the major lessons of this number is to learn the satisfactions of the material world and the power which comes with its mastery.

Those with this number may have to learn that the attainment of wealth or power is not an end in itself, but only a means to an end. The goal, quite simply, is the happiness and satisfaction which can be achieved along with the material freedom.

9: Selflessness, Humanitarianism; Giving Without Thought of Return, Compassionate.
People with this number have an innate love of their fellow man. They usually enjoy people as individuals and, at the same time, have a marked concern for humanity in general.

They may involve themselves in philanthropic or humanitarian activities.

One of the major lessons of this number is to learn to give of oneself as selflessly as possible, without thought of reward or return. As one can well imagine, this is a difficult lesson to put into practice. Much of a person’s effort may be spent in learning to balance their personal needs and ambitions, however large or small, against their inborn desire to contribute to those in need.

11: Illumination, Nervous Tension; Spiritual Channel and Teacher.
When those with this number use their spiritual awareness, they can intuitively perceive a great deal about the non-material world — and religious, psychic or metaphysical forces. They have the potential to act as a channel for these awareness’s.

They must learn to develop their ability to tune into these spiritual areas and then transmit their unique knowledge and increased perception of the deepest truths to others. This may prove to be one of the more important lessons that they learn.

22: Master Builder, Latent Power, Nervous Tension; Spiritual Understanding of Material World, High Ideals.
When those with this number use their spiritual awareness, they are likely to intuitively perceive a great deal about the non-material world — and religious, psychic or metaphysical forces.

They have the potential to apply these unique philosophical perceptions to the accomplishment of practical, down-to-earth undertakings.

They may be able to develop or manage sizable ventures, particularly ventures with significant humanitarian ends. Learning to use their non-material understandings for the benefit of the material world may prove to be one of the more important lessons in their life.

The two most important parts of a numerology reading are the Life Path and Expression which are described below. Using the above number descriptions, you can get a basic idea of what your numbers mean.

Life Path
The Life Path is the most important number in a numerology reading. If you could only use one number to describe a person, that number would, undoubtedly, be the Life Path.

The Life Path describes the major lessons to be learned in a person’s life. These lessons often determine the central focus of the life. The Life Path also clarifies the environment which is most conducive to learning the lessons involved and describes, as well, some of the major characteristics likely to be present in the individual’s makeup.

Most people have little trouble relating to their Life Path. Some people, though, for their own reasons, have little interest in pursuing that particular direction.

The Life Path is derived by calculating the sum of the month, day and year of birth, and reducing to a single digit or master number.

Expression
The Expression is another important number. It describes a person’s potential talents — the natural abilities as well as the related character traits. For most of us, these talents and skills are there at birth, although they are usually further developed as an individual grows and matures.

Very often — but not always — these particular abilities are of primary importance in a person’s work and career. Frequently, the talents described by the Expression form the central feature of an individual’s career.

The Expression is derived by calculating the sum of the number values of all the letters in the name — for example, the letters in the full name appearing on the birth certificate, and reducing to a single digit or master number.

Though this article is intended to cover the basics of numerology, there are many good books available if you would like to pursue this fascinating subject in more depth.

The western approach of numerology is entirely different from that of eastern approach, the Indians developed the science of numerology through intuition and the westerners developed it through knowledge.

This is probably a stupid question but I just want to make sure I’m on the right track. When I visualize do I visualize it in my mind or with my eyes like I’m physically looking at it. I’m just not sure which way I should be going here. Thanks.
……………………………………………………………….

When you visualize something, you don’t create a image visible with your physical eyes. You recall a mental image, but your eyes see a black screen (if your eyes are closed).

“He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still”

Psychics use various methodologies to bring out their psychic energy and describe it to others. One of these is called automatic writing. If you have psychic abilities, or are in the process of developing them, automatic writing is another way to get guidance from the higher planes.

Automatic writing requires you to completely surrender your ego to your spiritual guides. In effect, you are lending them your hand to write.

To achieve this, you need to be relaxed or in a trance-like state. It often happens easiest the first thing in the morning, before the stress of the day makes it’s way into your subconscious. Sit comfortably at a desk or writing table and use your own form of meditation to achieve this.

When you feel very relaxed, pick up a pen and place it gently to paper as if you intend to write. Many find it helpful to keep their eyes gently closed. Now imagine your higher self traveling down your arm and taking over your hand. Allow it to happen.

Visualize your higher self taking over your hand and writing its message for you. Assure your hand doesn’t lock by allowing it to scribble gently but without direction. Let the pen flow as it wants to. All the while, imagine your higher self is doing the writing.

The objective here is to let your subconscious take over your hand and write to you from the unconscious plane. When it happens you will feel your handwriting without your conscious direction.

This technique can be very exciting and insightful, but it takes a patient and receptive person to develop it. If you think you are that type, practice this for 25 to 30 minutes 3 times a week. The more you practice, the more likely you are to succeed.

It can’t be stressed enough how important patience is to success in automatic writing. Some of our foremost psychics practiced for years before feeling any significant tug at their hands. Then it takes even more patient practice to get good at it; to get more than just stray words, phrases or names written.

Some psychics have a natural talent for automatic writing and the words flow from them the instant they attempt it…sometimes, when they aren’t even trying! Messages and even long letters come through during automatic writing.

Automatic writing is not the same as inspirational writing, but it is related. In the latter, you attempt to guide the conversation with your higher self by asking it a specific question. You start the session by consciously writing down the question or need for counsel.

Then, after a short meditation for relaxation, imagine that your higher self is writing out the answer. It may feel awkward at first, but keep writing. Soon the answers flow and the more you write, the more inspired you become.

The solutions will just flow through your mind, down your arm, out of your pen and onto the paper.
Give automatic or inspirational writing a try. Great inspiration often comes through with these methods. Who knows what will inspire you?

Clairvoyance is a French word meaning clear vision. This word is used to describe the ability to gain information other than through normal channels most people use to get information. In most cases, it refers to the ability to see things that occurred in the past or in the future and to see things that may be happening now, away from the Clairvoyant’s actual physical presence.

While sometimes a clairvoyant may simply get a flash of something that is happening, has happened or is about to happen, more often than not they receive their vision while in a trance.

How Does Clairvoyance Work ~

Unlike in all those movies and televisions shows where you see clairvoyants at work, clairvoyance does not always allow the clairvoyant to get a complete picture of an event. In most cases they may get a flash of a vision accompanied by a feeling.

For example they may see a house number and have a sense of celebration or fear that accompanies the vision but may be unable to see exactly what is going on inside the house to know what generated that feeling. In other cases the vision can be a complete picture of something such as a young boy blowing out the candles on a birthday cake or a car rushing to a young girl playing in the street.

Although most people doubt their abilities and police are reluctant to admit the use of Clairvoyants to help solve some cases, there have been such instances where information gained by clairvoyance has helped to solve crimes. However, as one Clairvoyant pointed out a clairvoyant cannot control what information or how much they receive.

In most cases they see something and can describe it and what they see may make sense to the person they are relating the vision to while having no meaning for the reader themselves.

Often times a clairvoyant’s vision can reassure a family member of a victim of an accident or crime that the victim died without pain or fear. Other times, they may see a future event that if acted on can be prevented.

Clairvoyants have helped people in the normal course of their lives simply by seeing something that gives the person hope or reassures them that a decision they made will turn out well in the future. In other cases a clairvoyant has seen a negative outcome in advance and a person has been able to change their path and avert the negative outcome from occurring.

While not all people who claim to have clairvoyant ability actually do, those who do have a true gift can help a person make difficult decisions about their lives, give comfort to those who are grieving and help people find some relief from things that are troubling them.

Sometimes their gifts can help solve major issues in a person’s life such as picturing the man who robbed you or the house you will one day buy. Sometimes their gifts help solve minor problems such as where grandmother’s antique broach will turn up or where those car keys you have been searching for really are.



I am glad that you are here, reading this, rather than watching the news about terrorism. Your internal compass is true, seeking peace or inspiration rather than distress. This does more for the world’s peace and well being than watching the news does.

What is Remote Viewing?

This is a sort of mind traveling. It would more correctly have been called, Remote Sensing. The experience is much like dreaming.

At the time, it seems real and includes more than just the visual sense. As an explanation, one might say that it includes the universal ability to imagine.

It is a process of thought, and has nothing to do with eyesight. Some people think that they are not good at visualizing.

But, if you ever day dream, or if you can picture what you had for breakfast, then you can do it. There is no special training necessary for this.

You learn to unlearn what your early teachers worked so hard to teach you. You knew how to day dream in class, and your teachers would tap your desk or the chalk board to bring your attention back to what they were talking about. Remote viewing takes you in the opposite direction.

Remote Viewing is a perceptual shift from your external reality to an internal stimuli that you didn’t previously pay attention to.

You will simply shift concentration from your external world to your internal world. In this, it is far easier than meditating where you attempt to clear your mind.

Boring tasks were sometimes used for the training of Remote Viewing specialists. This would tire out the conscious mind and make the thinking of the unconscious more easily available.

This distraction of the conscious mind is also sometimes used by the Silva Method and hypnosis. It is not an induced stage of altered consciousness.

This part of the mind can also be sought directly using hypnosis or meditation which allows the viewer to access it without the dual thinking. It does allow the viewer to pay attention to the subconscious mind which operates outside the bounds of time and space.

How do we Know that this is not Just Imagination, but Viewing?

The subconscious is easily available when an individual is operating in the Theta brainwave pattern.

The subconscious is always connected to the Universal Mind or Source/Divinity/One through the higher mind, just as the subconscious is always connected to your egoic conscious mind.

The knowledge is always there. One hour before the first plane struck the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001, there was a great blip that showed on monitoring devices of the earth’s magnetism. It showed all around the earth because humans were picking up the stress or intention of the perpetrators.

We are all connected to each other, especially to those we know, but to all beings on this planet. When in Theta, a simple concentration on one’s thoughts after asking a question, will trigger a search of the Universal Mind, and an answer because all knowledge is there. This is the state one is in when dreaming.

This is the primary state of young children.

Trusting in the realities exposed when in Theta allows conscious remote viewing. All that is necessary is the removal of excessive rationalization by the egoic brain.

Remote Viewing has been used by many governments. It was used in the first Iraq war to find the locations of the Scud missiles.

More recently, one American SEAL, a special ops soldier in Iraq was using it to find danger on the road ahead. You can imagine how useful this would be.

He was able to choose safe routes for their missions and other groups would go out and find the IUD’s or snipers that they avoided.

He became so good at it that he learned to view the enemy and their intentions even before they placed the roadside bombs, or IUD’s. He is developing a training to teach soldiers how to do this during their basic training.

When will power and imagination are in conflict, imagination always wins. Take your mind to Theta; imagine yourself being successful in remote viewing, and it will become part of your reality.

There are four cardinal points and each is not only associated with a specific Angel, Demon, but also with an element, color, ritual tool and quality.

NORTH *Element Earth*

The north direction has always been known as a source of power and the *heavens* revolve around the North Star.

Ancient people used to align their temples with this star and the Sun never touched the cardinal point north.

It was associated with darkness, mystery and never ending dimensions of unfamiliarity. Because of the reverence of the Pagans for north, the church associated it with the Devil.

You seldom see Graveyards, and if ever there is, it would definitely be placed on the north side of the church.

The north side was used for the criminals, reprobates and children that were not baptized and suicide cases as well.

There was “the Devil’s Door” which was traditionally opened after baptisms to let the exorcised Demon escape. These are north doors that were seen in most of the European churches.

The north is associated with the earth element, new pentagram, secrecy, new phase of the moon, darkness and black or brown colors.

“Some people used to align their altars to the North”

SOUTH *Element Fire*

This is said to be the quarter of the will, directing and channeling the psychic energy and forces of nature.

Solar energy, the Sun, the color red, the magic wand and the fire element are associated with the south.

The water that is running south has been believed to have magical properties and was a popular ingredient that witches of the ancient times said to use in their spells.

The south direction represents intellect, knowledge and accomplishment as the sun reaches its peak in the southern sky.

EAST *Element Air*

The East direction is the quarter of enlightenment, the mystical and the eternal.

It is the element of air, the athame, the color silver and the morning star.

In most traditions, the altar is aligned to the east direction.

When a circle is cast for a coven, the High Priest/ess usually positions the passageway in the northeast, to let everyone to enter in.

WEST *Element Water*

The water element represents the subconscious, chalice, emotions, blue color and the psyche.

“It rules over spirit contact, mediumship and communication through mental telepathic”

Why spend money on a production line built scrying mirror, when you can make your own. You can make it to your own design – really make it your own. You could also give them away as gifts.

Here is how to do it:

Picture Frame – First you need to visit some second hand stores or garage sales to find yourself an old picture frame. It is best if it is dark in color as shiny frames have a tendency to reflect.. Whilst the condition of the frame is not so important you should ensure that the glass is in a very good condition. Check that it is clear and unscratched.

You do not want one too small or to large as you may want to carry it around with you at some point. It should be of a comfortable size to hold and carry. A frame of approximately 12″ diameter is a good size.

Paint – You need to buy a spray can of high gloss black paint. Check that it is suitable for use with glass as some of them are not. Remove the glass gently and give it a good clean with glass cleaner. Allow it to dry for a few hours and make sure that you handle the glass by the edges.

Creating your mirror – Lay out some old newspaper and gently place your clean glass on top. Again making sure not to touch the glass itself – only handling it by the edge. Spray the glass using a light gentle backward and forward motion until the glass is completely covered.

Make sure you do not let the paint run and if you are painting it outside (you should only use spray paints in a well ventilated area) then choose a day that is dry and not windy. You do not want any debris landing on your mirror! If possible try to completely cover the glass in the first coat – if you use more coats it can make flaws in the mirror itself. Leave it to dry for a good few hours until it is completely dry.

The frame – Whilst the glass is drying you can utilize your time by repairing, painting or decorating the original frame to your own design. When your glass is totally dry then reposition it in the frame. You now have a perfect scrying mirror – which is every bit as good as a purchased one and costs just a fraction of the price.

Next I shall write on, Scrying Techniques For Beginners…

The art and practice of Scrying is unique in form but very concrete concerning the desired result. What is meant by that is there are many methods that are all aiming at achieving the same thing. It is often referred to as “seeing with the mind.”

While scrying is often clumped together in terms of being categorized alongside Divination, Tarot Cards, Witchcraft, Magic, and things like that. It is different that its not an attempt to see the future, but interpret the now.

Scrying is adjusting consciousness to amplify your perception to see more of reality. The here and now. It is concerned with seeing beyond ordinary senses, and to see what ordinary physical senses cannot detect. There are a variety of techniques, actually too many to name here. This will cover the more common methods and those that are well known by most people.

It is important to mention that the art and practice of scrying can and should be a creative process. So take these suggestions and incorporate what feels right for you regarding how you achieve results. It should be tailored to you specifically, with the only requirement being results. What works for you works for you.

Scrying too is an old word for the practice of crystal-gazing or using some similar means to obtain clairvoyance used in Witchcraft. It is akin to the word “descry” which originally meant to reveal, as well as to discover by seeing.

Scrying is a more general term than crystal-gazing, because it embraces all forms of developing clairvoyance by gazing at or into some object. Witches use this in conjunction with their spells and rituals.

The object used in scrying is called a “speculum.” Throughout the ages, a great many different objects have been used for this purpose. The transparent crystal globe, with the use of which most people are familiar, is only one of a great variety of such specula.

The practice of scrying is common to witches of all ages and countries. Like magick in general, it is as old as man himself; and it is still as popular with contemporary witches as it was long ago.

There are many different modes and methods of scrying for beginners to choose from.

The focal point or scrying tool is usually an object with a shiny reflective surface such as a mirror, crystal, crystal ball, or a bowl of liquid. There are many different scrying techniques. It is even possible to use the sky for scrying.

The traditional and most popular method, and the best for method of scrying for beginners, involves using a reflective surface, usually a scrying mirror, in a dimly lit room. A scrying mirror is a special mirror that is made by painting one side of a glass pane black.

Usually, scrying mirrors are consecrated or imbued with psychic energy so as to help facilitate the proper energies for visions. Scrying mirrors are also usually surrounded by a decorative frame that is inscribed with relevant mystical symbols or images.

An important thing to keep in mind is that, just like any other divining instrument, the scrying mirror is merely a tool or rather a focal point for your own energy and ability. Using a scrying tool such as a mirror is a good way to develop and strengthen your psychic abilities.

The scrying mirror itself is of far less significance than the state of mind of the person scrying. If you have any negative emotions such as fear that have been left unchecked, then the visions that you have will readily reflect these.

One of the most important things about scrying for beginners to realize is that they are actually looking at their own energy that is being reflected back to them. This is true regardless of which scrying techniques that you are using.

It doesn’t even matter if you are using a reflective surface or not. When you are scrying properly, you are looking into a deeper part of yourself. You are viewing your own energy. Indeed, this is actually true of any psychic ability.

Because you receive psychic information through your own energy, it is immensely important that you make sure that energy is calm, positive, still, and pure. At the very core of psychic development, the most crucial and vital step is acknowledging and releasing all of the wasted energy that is perpetuated by the ego and the left brain.

By practicing and achieving meditative states on a daily basis you can find your own still point and awaken to the inner source that exists within you. Once you achieve this you can then apply any scrying techniques you choose with complete confidence.

Meditation and finding your inner calm along with releasing negative emotions not only helps with the information received through different scrying techniques. It also helps you to more accurately interpret the images or information that you receive while scrying.

This is vitally important because how you react emotionally to what you receive while scrying, dramatically affects the scrying session.

Negative emotions and reactions can impact the formation and stream of information that you are getting while practicing your various scrying techniques.

The act of scrying as well as any other form of psychic ability involves an interaction of energy on multiples levels including the emotional one. How you initially react to what you perceive greatly impacts the process and determines the outcome of the experience.

Scrying for beginners, as well as advanced psychics, can be a powerful and transforming experience. Regardless of which scrying techniques that you may choose, scrying is an excellent way to awaken yourself to other types of psychic ability.

Practicing scrying and daily meditation can help you to realize your psychic potential to a much greater degree.

If you apply these scrying techniques and suggestions properly you will certainly be well on your way to divining the future. And who knows? You might even become then next Nostradamus.

The Evil Eye has been around since the beginning of time. It simply means sending someone a thought that seems intrusive or invasive or has the power to hurt him or her.

The bad fortune that results is considered to have been caused by envy. The evil eye is not necessarily considered to be intentional or associated with witchcraft or sorcery.

Oddly enough, this thought form could actually be complimentary in nature. The origins of the Evil Eye are Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean. The concept was introduced into the Americas, South Pacific Islands, Asia, Africa and Australia by European explorers.

Sending someone the evil eye comes from the concept that we all have a Third Eye, located in the center of our forehead. Blinding, fogging or obscuring the third eye is often the intent of the energy’s sender.

Most of us have experienced the weird power of the phenomenon. All it takes is a gaze that seems to be unfriendly, indifferent or blank and seems to a couple of seconds too long.

We think about it for a few minutes afterward or perhaps an image of the person staring at us preoccupies our thoughts occasionally for the rest of the day. Perhaps that is why the British and Scottish term for the “evil eye” is “overlooking.”

It implies that a gaze has remained too long upon the coveted object, person or animal.

The evil eye is also known as the envious or invidious eye. In Italian it is called the malocchio and in Spanish the malojo (loosely translated as the bad eye)

The evil eye is known as ayin horeh in Hebrew; ayin harsha in Arabic, droch shuil in Scotland, mauvais oeil in France, bösen Blick in Germany, and was known as oculus malus among the classical Romans.

The original belief is that any person can harm your children, livestock, fruit trees or any other evidence of prosperity just by looking at the spoils of all your good will and hard work with envy. Ironically, the curse of the evil eye is thought to be provoked by inappropriate displays of spiritual pride or excessive beauty.

There is a theory that very famous people and celebrities suffer more personal misfortune than others simply because they are subjected to more “overlooking” and envy than others.

This superstition might have some grounding in evolutionary psychology as usually one animal is thought to dominate or be aggressive to another simply by staring at it for too long. Psychologically speaking, staring or glaring at someone is officially considered an intrusion into your affairs.

Apparently, there is a fine line between casting a glance to casting a spell. In these post Celestine Prophecy times, this kind of stare could be compared to a kind of etheric laser beam or amoebic arm that rips open your aura.

Others would describe the infliction of the evil eye as the projection of an image (such as the image of the person you have offended or hurt) so that you see only that to the exclusion of all other sight.

In other words, you see that person wherever you go or feel that your life’s events are always colored by your dealing with that person.

Another symptom is the inability to proceed with ordinary, daily events without feeling somehow compelled to make things right with the person you have often unknowingly offended with your grandiosity.

It is common folklore that the evil eye has a dehydrating effect on its victim. It is thought to cause vomiting, diarrhea, the drying up of the milk of nursing mothers and livestock, problems with the blood, eyesight lack of rain, the drying up of wells, the withering of fruit and impotence in men.

Clumsiness, stomachaches, dry coughs, diarrhea, itching, hair loss, dry skin are all thought to be physical symptoms of an evil eye attack.

On the astral level it is thought to cause the drying up of prana, chi, life force and the easy flow of prosperity in life. Part of this image might derive from the idea also, of muddy, murky or poisoned vision that is somehow attached to the victim’s third eye.

Almost everywhere that the evil eye belief exists, it is said to be caused accidentally by envy or praise.

Thus the phrase “Pride Goeth Before a Fall” In certain Mediterranean and eastern cultures, one is careful not to praise a child too much, lest it invite the subconscious balancing effect of the evil eye.

A classic situation would be the barren woman who praises the newborn baby of a new child. Such praise would be considered inappropriate and thought to bring the evil child. One of the remedies for this would be for the mother to spit, to symbolically “rehydrate” the situation.

Also, she may speak ill of the child OT counteract the effects of the praise, which might have malefic effects on the child later.

The belief that individuals have the power to cast the evil eye on purpose is more idiosyncratic to Sicily and Southern Italy, although the belief has certainly spread elsewhere – to the Southern United States and the Latin Americas. Such people are known as jettatore (projectors).

They are not necessarily considered evil or envious, just born with an unfortunate embarrassing talent that causes others to avoid them.

In ancient cultures, if you were thought to be the possessor of an evil eye, you were often negated by the rest of society and went unrecognized on the street without meeting anyone’s eyes.

Perhaps one of the most familiar preventative measures against the evil eye is the hand gesture. The Mano Cornufo or “Horned Hand” involves extending the first and index fingers from a fist. The Mano Fico or “Fig hand” involves placing the thumb in between first and second fingers.

Historically there have been many cures for the evil eye:

In Italy, the evil eye is diagnosed by dripping olive oil into a vessel filled with water. If the oil conglomerates into the shape of an eye than the victim is considered officially cursed. Prayers are recited until the droplets of oil no longer create an eye shape.

In Eastern Europe charcoal, coal or burnt match heads are dropped into a pan of water/. If the items float then the person is considered to be the victim of a curse.

In the Ukraine, a form of ceromancy or candle reading is used to diagnose the curse. Melted wax is dripped from a candle into a pan of water.

If the wax spits, splatters, or sticks to the side of the bowl then the “patient” is considered to be under the influence of the malefic eye. Usually the patient is cleansed with Holy Water. He or she is pronounced cured when the dripped wax sinks the bottom of the bowl in a round ball.

In Greece Mexico and other places, the official cure is to invite the culprit responsible for the evil eye to spit in a vessel of the holy water that is consumed by the victim.

In Mexico, rolling a raw egg over the body of the victim is the antidote. Afterward, it is cracked open and if the metaphysician or healer divines the shape of an eye in the yolks then the person is considered to be cursed.

Several eggs may be repeatedly rolled over the person’s body until an egg without an eye if found. Sometimes the egg is placed underneath the person’s bed overnight and cracked open in the morning.

In China the remedy for the evil eye is the Pa Kua mirror, a six-sided mirror that is hung on the front door or placed in the front window to reverse bad energy back to the sender.

Some of these mirrors are convex to reflect back the bad “poison darts” or “arrows” of multiple ill wishers and some are concave to reflect energy in a definite direction back at, for instance, a nosy neighbor, whose gaze may have lingered on your garden of tulips for too long.

In Feng Shui, mirrors are often used as a cure all to reflect negative energy back at all kinds of things – people, bad architecture, traffic, neighbors, physical obstructions such as trees or rocks or anything else that might considered to be a conductor of Har Shui (negative vibrations).

In India the mirroring back of the evil eye takes the form of small mirrors that are sewn, braided or crocheted into clothing.

This mirroring back of bad energy is also familiar to practitioners of Wicca and Lukumi or Santeria. In India, the human eye is also considered to be a mirror of the soul.

Indian women wear kohl or heavy black makeup to emphasize their eyes not only to shield themselves from evil eye but also to prevent themselves from accidentally inflicting it on others.

In India cords strung with blue beads are placed on newborn babies. When the cord breaks and the beads are lost the child is considered to have a strong enough aura to protect him or herself from the evil eye.

Red cords worn upon the wrist or neck are thought to have a powerful effect against ocular malevolence.

A silver charm called Eye of Buddha which references the Gautama Buddha is also worn against astral attack.

In Italy, gold, silver or gems carved or cast into the shape of the Mano Fica or Mano Cornufa are used to repel the evil. The most coveted ones are made of red coral, but many versions exist today made of gemstones and plastic.

They are worn by men to protect against the withering of the genitals thought to be caused by the bad eye. Also Italian in origin is the Corno or horn or devil’s horn amulet that is thought to protect against the same dysfunction. The women’s version is made from a twig of red coral.

In Arab cultures, superstitious types wear an eye in the form of a stone cast in the center of a hand shaped bone or metal charm A common Egyptian charm is the Buckle of Isis which represents the menstrual pad of the Goddess Isis who was the Mother of all living things.

Stuffing a little prayer or spell inside a locket that is hung around the neck is the common European custom for protecting oneself against deadly gazes.

A light worker such as myself might advise you to protect yourself in the following contemporary ways:

Always maintain the belief that nobody has the power to hurt you with a look. This in itself is a very powerful thought form.

Before you go out, imagine that your third eye is actually covered by something that looks like a small pocket mirror. If you are a psychic or a healer then simply close your third eye and don’t open it unless you want to look.

If you are feeling haunted or upset as the result of a “look”, press your thumb hard into the center of your forehead and imagine your third eye quickly flipping. Flick the energy away with your thumb and snap your fingers.

Always remember that what you resist often persists. The phrase “Oh, so what!” is one of the most powerful chemicals in the universe that you can use to dissolve negative energy.

About using black mirror…

A black mirror is used in the same way that a crystal ball is used.

It’s purpose it to enable you to use your astral eyes to see images on it’s surface without the distraction of light refraction (in the case of a crystal) or reflections (in the case of a regular mirror).

It is also a very good way to see sprites if you are open enough.
