Seeing ‘Spirit Faces’ in the Mirror
Traditions of ‘Mirror Gazing’ go back as far as mirrors themselves, and even beyond. Prehistoric man had a psychic nature. Sensitive’s of the time would have found themselves gazing into pools of water, unknowingly viewing through a window into spiritual realms. Using this method early man may well have seen departed loved ones and gained insights into how he could increase his chances of survival in the difficult environment he lived in.
Later traditions refer to various forms of mirror gazing ‘also known as scrying’ the ancient Greek were ardent mirror gazers. Historical evidence suggests that they used ‘cauldrons’ or any vessel large or small into which liquid was poured and then used for the purpose of divination.
Eastern Traditions used polished metal to obtain their visions. In the story of Aladdin and his lamp, it was when the lamp was polished that the genie appeared!
As with the story of Aladdin’ this timeless and widespread practice of mirror gazing even finds it’s way into folklore tradition. In the tale of Snow White and the seven dwarfs we have the wicked Queen and her famous line “Mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest off them all?” Which needs little explaining in the context of mirror gazing.
In modern times there is much anecdotal evidence of people from all walks of life using mirror gazing. Abraham Lincoln is reported to have ‘seen in the mirror’ that he would win a second term of office as President of the USA.
Sometimes mirror gazing experiences are quite spontaneous, occurring without any warning, preparation or training. ,Strong>Click here to continue reading Mirror Gazing (Scrying)
