Product Description
Product Description
Scrying is the psychological technique of unearthing information by extra-sensory means. It is about clearing your view of the unconscious mind and translating its images, sounds and sensations into conscious knowledge. The many forms of scrying, such as Ouija boards, dowsing rods and aura reading, are examined in this compendium of techniques for those who believe they may have some talent for seership and want to develop their skills.
From the Author
Practical directions about all forms of scrying.
Scrying is usually equated with crystal gazing, or with those forms of seership that use a reflective medium, such as water-gazing and mirror scrying. In fact, it is much broader in scope. The psychological mechanism that works during scrying is described in parapsychology as automatism. Scrying is any deliberately induced transmission of information, acquired by the unconscious mind through non-sensory means, to the conscious awareness in the form of sensory metaphors. This includes sensory, or passive, automatism, where the unconscious mind stimulates the senses to produce sounds, visions, feelings, and so on; and also motor, or active, automatism, where the unconscious produces movements in the physical body that are beyond the conscious will. Thus, many practices not usually considered to be scrying rely on the same underlying mechanism of the mind. Not only crystal gazing, but water scrying, ink scrying, oil scrying, lamp scrying, dream scrying, mirror scrying, aura reading, psychometry and shell hearing are explained, along with dowsing, the use of the pendulum, the Ouija board, automatic writing, trance speaking or channeling, and automatic drawing. These are all forms of scrying. They are explained in practical terms that will allow the reader to actually try them. In addition, the scrying techniques of two of the greatest seers in history, the Elizabethan magus Dr. John Dee, and the French physician Nostradamus, are examined in great detail. The lost water scrying method of Nostradamus, never before presented in any book, is revealed for the first time.

Format:Paperback
"Scrying for Beginners" by Donald Tyson is an extremely comprehensive and readable introduction to scrying for the beginner, but the book's wide ranging scope detailing scrying with crystal balls, mirrors, water, oils and dowsing, plus it's very thorough history of the art, makes it a very good buy for the more experienced scryer. Tyson writes in a very straightforward and uncomplicated style so the book is a satisfying read. Of particular interest to me was his section on crystal ball scrying, and I enjoyed his exposition of the method of Dr. John Dee and found this part of the book very enlightening. Tyson details numerous other methods of scrying and he deals with each of these in the same clear and informative style he uses throughout the book. I think this book will be very useful for the beginner, however more advanced scryers will, I'm sure, really enjoy his very detailed histories of scrying techniques from ancient Babylonia and Egypt right up to Nostradamus and the modern day.

This book was good for me because I am a beginner, but at some points the book was hard to read. I would definately recomend this book to someone who wanted information on scrying, or wanted to know how to select the best tools.

Wonderful

This is a great book for beginners. It details exercises to increase your scrying ability. "Scrying for Beginners" goes into some detail on a lot of different scrying methods and includes a little bit of history as well as how to make some of your own scrying implements.

Well written but somewhat imcomplete
15 April 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thought that this book was informative, and gave a lot of information on various types of scrying. However, the book only scratched the surface of so many types of scrying. . . frankly, if you aren't using a mirror, ball, candle, or pendulum, then you won't get as much information. Nevertheless, the book was not aimed at any particular religion (as I have noticed Llewellyn publications tend to be) and the exercises were easily incorporated into anyone's spiritual exercises. I'd recommend buying it because it is well written and keeps your attention, but is best suited for a beginner, as the title indicates.
