Offering bowls are bowls or plates that are used to hold offerings that Wiccans and Neo Pagans wish to offer to their god or goddess that they worship. Offering bowls can basically be any form of bowl of plate, whether it is made from metal, wood, gemstones, or other material, the important part of the offering bowl or offering plate is what is placed inside of it. Offerings can include herbs, various liquids, powders, coins, and anything else that the individual would deem worthy as an offering to their god or goddess. Offering bowls are meant to be placed on the altar after a prayer has been made to the god or goddess.

THE ART OF SCRYING

Scrying is an ancient art of divination for the purpose of receiving information. The act of scrying is usually achieved by gazing, into or upon, a crystal or a reflective surface then allowing the physical eyes to relax, and letting the inner psychic eye open to receive desired visions and information.

Dark bowls are recommended because they allow you to concentrate better.

Scrying helps us to get in touch with our unconscious minds: the realm of the soul. As such, it can be used as a powerful form of self-understanding and psychoanalysis. If you’re struggling to find direction, meaning or purpose in life, scrying could be a wonderful way to get in touch with your core needs, dreams and goals.

Hydromancy is the art of water scrying, as is typically used with a scrying bowl. Water is particularly fitting because it is symbolic of consciousness.

HOW TO GET STARTED

What you will need:

A bowl (preferably black or natural)

Water (preferably natural)

1 or 2 candles

Lighter/matches

Crystal/small object

Table

Darkness (e.g. a room at night)

Prepare your space. You can water scry indoors or outdoors. Just ensure you have a clear space to put your bowl and a candle or two.

You can put your bowl out in the rain to collect natural rainwater. Or you can fill your bowl with mineral water. If all else fails, tap water should be fine.

Place your focus object in the bowl. Ensure that the object is right in the center of the bowl: it will serve as a point on which your eyes can focus.

Energetically cleanse your space. 

Light your candles and place them either side of your bowl. The light of the candles must be able to reflect off the surface of the water.

Allow yourself to explore a meditative state of deeper consciousness. 

After you have achieved an altered state of consciousness, you can then gaze into the bowl. You’ll be able to tell when you’ve reached an altered state when you feel peaceful, expanded, alert, focused and connected.

In order to scry, your eyes need to be relaxed. The crystal (or other object) in the center of the bowl will help to focus your eyes. You might also like to seat yourself in a comfortable position, as sometimes scrying can take a while. Be patient. Often it takes many tries to master scrying.

Next, hold your intention in mind. For example, your intention may be to uncover a hidden gift of yours, or perhaps to discover what is holding you back from achieving a dream. As you gaze into the water, let your eyes soften. Relax your entire face, from your mouth to your ears. Breathe deeply from your stomach. At times images may come and go briefly. Don’t try to hold on to them – this will make it much harder to scry. Instead, allow all images and sensations to come and go freely. The goal is to become a passive observer rather than an active participant. Once again, this can take practice.

After a while, your mind may start to wander. Allow it to. However, ensure that your eyes stay focused within the bowl. Eventually a word, image or even entire scene may play out before you. This is normal. Once you “feel” that your scrying session is over, you may like to ruminate on the words, images or scenes that were presented to you. What were they trying to reveal? Sometimes you’ll be able to immediately understand the nature of the visions presented to you, but not always. Look out for symbolism, analogy and metaphor.
