Evoking a Spirit with a Black Mirror (Full Tutorial) [Esoteric Saturdays]

[@miskatonic6576]

I have a 14 in obsidian mirror for scrying however, I've had best results with my iPad's black surface. It has perfect reflecting qualities that even the obsidian does not.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Ah ! a great recommendation coming from the king of online occult book stores 😄🙏📴 best wishes to you, Larry! 😄

[@TheGreenKnight500]

As much as I love aesthetics in magic and think they can help quite a lot, I also appreciate magic that uses whatever is lying around in the surrounding environment. There's something very raw and shamanic about it.

[@CodyHill82]

Ironic?

[@steben3318]

Seeing as you are used to getting information, images and sound from your mobile or iPad surely this means your mind/subconscious is already expertly trained to accept images from it thus making scrying only logical.

[@miskatonic6576]

@@steben3318 I see your point however should mention that I only use the iPad when I travel which isn't very often these days. I still agree with your reasoning regardless.

A tip that rarely found mentioned is to use some kind of white noise to fill the room. In my experience it create the same effect on the ears as the black mirror on the eyes. I used an old heater on fan mode that I put in a corner of the room. The echo of the repetitive sound helps remove external noises, and get into trance for clairaudience. I also use a connected led bulb where I can choose the color and the intensity, like Phillips hue. I found it more effective that color candles. Very non traditional :)

[@FoolishFishBooks]

I also use Phillips Hue to great effect. Love the idea of the white noise! Thank you! 😄♥️

[@Healitall]

I love to see that others are using the color light bulbs also to just set the color as wished for the spirit that we want to contact. The white noise is a great tip. Thanks :)

[@BodhiHorne]

White noise and or binaural beats are powerful ways to fill aural space with specific frequency or neutralize.

[@kitchensinkmuses4947]

I've always used white noise. There's one on youtube called celestial noise or something, and I have used it so many times. I find it makes my trances so much more powerful, and my experiences so much more 'solid' for want of a better word. I tried the Grant Morrison approach of albums and so on a couple of times and found that the journey of the musicians didn't synchronise very well with my magical objectives, my first encounter with demons came through this very experiment actually. Nowadays I'm back with white noise or occasionally Phillip Glass on repeat. You're totally right about the clairaudience by the way. Thanks for reminding me why I use it!

[@Healitall]

Anyone using binaural beats in rituals? ✋🏻

[@aaronjennings8385]

Quantum computers use mirrors for beam splitting. That's how entanglement is created. It's possible to create a holographic 3 dimensional state in 2 dimensions, a lower- dimensional phase. Quantum teleportation involves the use of entangled particles. In this phenomenon, two particles become entangled, meaning their properties are intrinsically linked regardless of the distance between them. When a third particle, which is not entangled with the other two, is measured or manipulated, its state can be "teleported" to the entangled particles. This means that the properties of the third particle are instantaneously transferred to the entangled particles, even if they are located far apart. It's important to note that this process does not involve the physical movement of particles but rather the transfer of their quantum states. Quantum teleportation is a fascinating concept with potential applications in Time travel!

[@sharprockets]

I make Black mirrors for less than $10. Get a cheap picture frame and rust oleum camouflage black spray paint. Take apart the frame. Spray paint one side of the glass. Multiple layers of paint. When you reassemble the frame put the painted side of the glass inside the frame, shiny clean side outs. Be very delicate, putting it back together can scratch the paint sometimes. This simulated obsidian so well because that specific spray paint is super matte. Suppose to be completely non reflective.

Thanks for making a scrying video Denis! 😍 One practical thing I've found with scrying is using an "invoking spirit" incense worked well for me. However, I found that burning it really bothers my sensitive eyes. Instead I use a wax warmer filled with water and/or carrier oil then put the loose incense in there during my session. I figured if the spirit likes the smell, this gets the job done without burning anything.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Oh this is a fantastic tip, @Merrily! Thank you! I might try that myself 😄🙏

[@APPLESHAMPOO]

you might still be able to see with a regular mirror, is what a lot of people don't realize. I've had a few times in my life locked eyes with my own reflection in the mirror and seen something other than myself there. Although I can count in one hand how many times this has happened, I think you can still see things in any mirror if you have the intention to do it.

[@Emanjnr]

What would we do without you. Great and informational content.

[@kitchensinkmuses4947]

got to your disclaimer, and wanted to say that I totally agree. My magical practical practice totally annihilated my previous life. I'd go as far as to say "I died, but I was lucky enough to survive". Dangerous indeed, but incredibly powerful, and in my case, beneficial. ETA My pilgrimage to Dee's black MIrror, and then one of his journals were the collective beginning of my post "adolescant" magical journey, having had resisted the call to action for too long. I've had plenty of darkest hours since, and slain many a dragon, but those visits, and experiences of their power have acted as my inciting incident ever since. ETA2 finished the video, thanks ever so much. I have used this sort of structire on most of my magical rituals, and I completely agree with the final point. I always prepare two glasses of wine or tea, or small snacks and invite the spirit to stay and enjoy them with me for a while (this works especially well for me because I normally use Hellenic deities and so on for my work so I can use Xenia custom), then after a sensible amount of time (which varies depending on my purpose) I ask them to depart in conviviality. Like all guests, I've had to use varying degrees of willpower to ask some of them to leave. Once or twice I needed to tell them. "Pleaze, I have to ask you top go so I can tidy up in time for..., I told you when you first came round that..."

[@justinbirkholz]

Great advice! I'm so glad that you mentioned singing as a means to entering altered/trance states! I don't think I've ever heard anyone outside of shamanic circles talk about the potential of singing but, in my experience, it is the fastest and surest way to intentionally enter an altered state. I've even had extremely powerful and visionary experiences just from singing but it's also my favorite way to prepare for a ritual.

[@Healitall]

As you can see from Sufi dances also. Yup.

[@justinbirkholz]

@@Healitall yes, music, singing, and dancing play an interesting role in Sufism. That is a big part of why I am so drawn to it.

I have inadvertently used my turned off television a couple of times. While I've been at home at my computer my television is next to my screen just off to the side, acting as a dark mirror of the whole room behind me. I've seen my patron deity standing in the room behind me quite clearly in my peripheral vision. It's always been quite shocking but it's pretty fantastic.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Yep, that's absolutely a thing 😊👍

Which is exactly why my television stays covered when not in use!

[@Sugarkingvlog]

But it's not working for me. Please give me steps or process I beg of you

[@Sejdr]

I am of a slightly different opinion on one point (refereing to JSK, Trithemius, Afro-Carribean traditions): Traditionally the four quarters in scrying was related to the four (Demon) Kings; Oriens, Amaymon, Paymon, Egin. This is less about keeping oneself safe and more to do with opening up the space. This is carried on in the practice of Crossroads workings or in the VeVes in Voudon. It is about opening the gate.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Yes, of course you're quite right. Maybe a topic for another video.

[@Sejdr]

@@FoolishFishBooks Looking forward to it :)

[@FoolishFishBooks]

@@Sejdr in fact, if I remember my script correctly, I believe I included a nod (albeit a subtle one) to this far-from-mainstream (though probably accurate) approach: ... to keep you, AND THE ENTITY YOU'RE CALLING, safe during the encounter. 😉 JSK FTW(...ish) 🧙‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@akeem_arif384]

@healitall hiya my friend, I really want to get into witchcraft, where do I start ??? Is it best to work with demons or spirits ???are spirits and demons the same ???anything else you can add yourself would be much appreciated

[@Healitall]

@@akeem_arif384 start with understanding first why you want to do this. Learn a way to center and ground yourself. Learn to listen to the eb and flow of your own intuition without drowning it in self talk. Learn to be silent and listen. That is the start. There will be many names for spirits. They are mostly moral judgements. Let it go to communication and relationship while you make up your own mind about what's "good" or "bad". It's all relative. When you are doing rituals don't try to be perfect rather find your flow in it. It's better to stay in the flow than to be perfect. there is no "one way" of doing rituals. Stay true and honest to your self and your spirit and in your spirit you will find a world of spirit willing to connect with you. Be open to expirience whatever may come in ritual and be prepared to break a ritual or ground yourself to create boundaries for your self. Honor your own spirit. Peace.

[@sheridanhonore3712]

This is a great and very informative video. Thank you so much for sharing. I have used a crystal ball, and I have found that to be very effective. I have a dedicated space that I work in. My scrying ritual begins with the cabalistic cross. Next, I perform the Middle Pillar Exercise. I only begin scrying after completing this exercise. I always keep a journal of my scrying experiences. Once I am done, I cover my crystal ball with black silk and put it away. I also complete the session by using the cabalistic cross again to close out the session.

[@jameskoran9352]

Use of white noise is a great tool!! Just like the comment below suggests. I use a fan during rituals involving vibrations of divine names as the noise of the fan mends with my voice to create a greater, clearer vibration.

[@_Lawless_one]

Meditative state is something a person must have if one want to become a successful magician.I have been reading esoteric materials for past 3 years and I am pretty sure now that if you can not control your mind you can not have a control your presence in the spiritual realm(which will make your evocation dilusional,even a simple magick wont manifest).Mind expansion technique or any meditation(like Pranayam along with Om Chanting)should be a must in your daily life so that you can learn how to control your mind or your astral self to better manifest your magickal result. Note-Your mind is the most powerful thing in the whole universe.If you wish to have control of the spiritual realm then you must make your mind powerful enough. It can even alter and bend the time.

[@ladygrace2741]

All the items utilized in magick e.g. black mirror etc., are props (instrumental in aiding the practitioner). You in fact as the practitioner, are the catalyst that transmits flow in the direction of your intended goal. Some of us spend years meditating to reach the field (where all possibilities exist), and some of us simply curl up our tongue and we're there.

[@darrenscriven3963]

Wonderful video with very sound advice and clear instruction, I loved it and your eclectic array of pictures did some wonderful yoga with your words! 👏. I used to love doing evocational scrying. One time I was evoking a spirit from The Arte Goetia, I can't remember which one, but I do remember the image that appeared was nothing like its description at all, it was a wolf's head and it snarled at me! This startled me a little because the image was not in the mirror, it was in the air in front of the mirror. I did write about it and posted it to my old blog, but that's been neglected for a while now. I must admit, I am feeling the urge to get back into the Great Work again.

We turned off our smart TV and immediately saw an old school Grey alien face that faded backwards into nothing. We screamed,and verified to each other what we saw. It only happened once, and it occurred when we were having other supernatural activities in our home. The room was pitch black dark, and the luminescent face was slightly dull, but highly detailed. It was like it caught looking and backed into another place of darkness.

👍🏽Nice Video 🖤 I built a dark mirror for my self by using a nice vintage picture frame and a black picture that I put behind the glass. I've also found that you can add some things like "magical" plants, written verse, pages of a magic manuscript, or anything else that can help you to get the result you want, to the inside of the frame. I sealed the back of the frame with a wax seal in the shape of a sigli for better results and protection.

[@sillywilly123]

True story. I made a black mirror when I was a younger and quite depressed, it was a poundland mirror I spray painted. I did scrying, not looking for anything in particular (I had zero clue where to look for decent guidance) I never saw anything but found the mirror broke one day for no particular reason.

[@TheGreenKnight500]

Thank you for posting these tutorials. They're a great place to start for learning new techniques. I'll have to give this a try. You also gave my some interesting things to think about: After having giving it a lot of thought, and having a few experiences with spirits myself, I'd say that it isn't inaccurate to say that spirits are "all in your head". Then again, who's to say we're not all in their heads as well, or that we're not both in the head of a much greater being? It's not inaccurate, but I just don't think it's the whole picture. It's my belief that the human mind/imagination is merely the shallow tidal pool between the rich continent of the material word and the vast ocean of the spirit world. Sometimes things from that deep ocean swim into or get swept into those shallow waters and we get a chance to see them. Sometimes we have to throw some gifts into the water and call their names to attract their attention.

for as long as i can remember i've practiced a form of glossolalia as a way to gather focus. once you get good at it, it can reeeaaallly put your conscious mind in the backseat in a hurry. i both chant and sing it, and i try to add as many "weird" vocal sounds that aren't normally included in my own native tongue as i can, like heavily rolled r's or fricatives.

[@LailokenScathach]

Sadly or maybe luckily I lack the ability to perceive "spirits" - I've used black mirrors for divination, but not tried to summon some random spirit. Contemplating how many humans have passed in history we must be just thick with spirits all around us. So, maybe my lack of perception is a gift.

[@SaturnsGoat9]

I wonder what we are doing wrong. I always thought that the spirits didn't like us or something so they didn't want to open their doors whenever we knocked. Speaking for myself I'm blind not completely blind but legally blind. I speak everything into my phone and my phone reads whatever I touch on the screen. Please excuse me for any typos. I think we all have our own unique abilities and we just have to find them. I am legally blind so I have never had an encounter visually with a spirit even though I am pretty sure that they have came I haven't necessarily seen them LOL what would you suggest a blind man do to improve his magic?

[@SaturnsGoat9]

@Neil yes I definitely have but I assume that this is a sign from the universe that I should get back to it. I'm not completely blind but my phone reads everything to me and I speak into it to be able to communicate with people. As far as performing magic what could I do? I want to communicate with Spirits. I want that mysticism. Something about it deep in my soul I've always been in love with mysticism and shamanism. Dreams don't ever seem to work for me unless I just can't see spiritual science even in my dreams. Even in the real world I can't tell if a spirit is sending me a true sign or if it just pops up on a KZbin algorithm coincidentally because I have surged in the past. I love Magic and I love occultism in witchcraft but even something like doing sigil magic doesn't really work for me because I can't read my handwriting LOL if you were blind or all of a sudden lost your vision and you wanted to practice what would you do? If I do these meditations again that you mentioned does that mean the spirit can speak through Me By Me Feeling Energies? From what you're saying it sounds to me like I should be able to channel and feel energies Within Myself by evocation and invocation

The breathing reminded me of a story I have no one to share with so I’ll tell it here. When I was about 13, I lost a thin paper back book. I wanted to use it but had no idea where it might be. I decided to look for it in the living room. But my dad had been cooking his seafood dish I detested the smell of, so I’d already been holding my breath and not inhaling through my nose. As I left my room, and the smell was obviously stronger, my breathing became lessened and I was clearly in a state at which point, to the confusion of my mother and brother, I hastened directly to the couch and threw the cushions off revealing my lost book. I myself was confused and surprised as I hadn’t consciously decided to look there.

[@joaobatistatoledoprado6367]

FF did it again: excellent tutorial, Denis (where are the other two, btw?). Very efficient synthesis, so much so that it is even possible to move on to practical experiment using the instructions provided here. Didactics is a skill that can be trained proficiently, but some people seem to have it as kind of an innate skill. This is, it seems, the case here.

[@joaobatistatoledoprado6367]

A little personal musing on this subject: according to some cosmogonic theories shared by the main systems of Western esoterism, all elements of the material world are manifested in some way by hierarchical types and categories of generally invisible and intangible beings. Therefore, absolutely all processes of creation and transformation of matter would be mediated by “supraphysical” entities. Thus, it is not surprising that even the black screen of an electronic device such as a smartphone or tablet can work well for scrying, as long as the known protocols for the operation are followed. To put it another way, from the standpoint of the creative forces of the Cosmos there is nothing intrinsically diverse and relevant between a posh, fancy and well-polished obsidian mirror and the smooth, reflective, and deeply black surface of a tablet, for example. Perhaps the only drawback is the psychological motivation that one might have using one or the other. For example, I personally cannot bring myself to using a tablet (but, hey!, this is only me after all).

Just found your videos a week or so ago. Amazing how much info you have. What do you think about using this in combination with your method of stepping through the questions leading to the vast mind? (I use the underside of a silver tray which works just fine)

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Sounds like an experiment worth trying 😄🙏

[@Nuverselive]

I love the way u explain in such detail. It's clear u know what your taking about from a space of practice versus repeating something u read or heard . The best magick for me is the techniques I create! So the Killing stone broke releasing a wrathful 9 tailed demoness . Legend has it there is an evil spirit trapped in the Sessho-seki stone, so what happens now that the stone is broken?

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Thanks for the kind words. Yes that's the $1m question, isn't it? I guess we'll find out in time!

[@domniqueisleseer5101]

What would be the benefit of evoking a malevolent spirit? Genuine and sincere question

[@Jmapp1998]

idek. if it's a vicious spirit it should probably be left alone.

[@hersnab]

Thank you for this. I would be interested to hear your personal experiences with this, and for that matter other magickal rituals. What happened for you?

[@tlalocparedes7849]

Great video as always! What kind of banishment rituals do you recommend apart from the LBRP?

[@MeL-MayLing-Love-LE]

It was brightly lit with 5 lights I was brushing my teeth it was morning an older version of my self shook her head up and down as to say yes my head was not moving with my jaw dropped open wide eyed shocked look on my face yet I was completely 😳 it is a regular mirror. As for black mirrors I simply suggest the tv.

[@jackalope2302]

A few sigil making questions. What are your thoughts on using an ancient writing system to phonetically spell in English? Or a fictional language like Tengwar (Elvish in Tolkien)? Perhaps, one you constructed yourself (an abjad, like Hebrew or Arabic where vowels are diacritics that are often omitted)?

[@JoshuaPagan]

That LMD quote! Ouch!

[@Sensei8777]

I don't have any frame for mirror i only have black mirror will it work ??

[@FoolishFishBooks]

A black mirror can work just fine.

[@veneficarius]

great tutorial!

[@Hollow23x]

Hey, why don't you make a video on rings?

[@theteacher2000]

Any recommendations on books that works ase a guide with incantations, evocations etc? Thank you Sir

[@vrillionaire88]

I have been using black mirrors in my art recently as canvases to fix spiritual forces within them. It is an attempt to use the black mirror as a component for greater creation rituals and not merely as a tool within magic. I made the mirror, and the paints used in it custom for the ritual, and imbued the surface with the spirit of War. Now I use it as a focus to help guide tactical foresight, an etheric portal that allows for greater and easier connection with the intention behind its purpose.

[@QuaesitorDei]

is there an audiobook that reads the magic mirror chapter in natural magic by agrippa? i want to make a tktok video about it.

[@chrissymcgee5930]

Great video, I have also found that works of art done with intent and by oneself can also be effective using a similar method. I try to work with one entity in particular, trust them and don't mention the fair appearance, but instead say that they choose the appearance and I will be fine with whatever it is. Horses for courses and I would not recommend this for everyone, just saying what I do. My religious beliefs lean toward the gnostic with regards to Christianity, so banishing rituals for me, with regards this entity are not helpful, required or needed. Again horses for courses. Fascinating stuff, thank you.

[@blacksunshine7122]

Hi! Could i just write protective runes around my black mirror?

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Yes, that is an established practice.

[@blacksunshine7122]

@@FoolishFishBooks thank you so much 😊

[@jasonwilcox6890]

It's funny how we use certain magic principles..and don't know it until after reading about it.

[@Noctis6969]

I had a magician friend who once set up a shadow box to work as a black mirror, he used the inside for incense, like copal, if I am remembering correctly.

[@IndustrialBonecraft]

Mother? What are you doing in my mirror!?

[@uriahpeep9008]

Dearest IndustrialBC.....Checking up on you.....!!!

[@makegeorgeorwellfictionaga9268]

I used to believe that. At first I followed the rituals more closely step by step, I am frustrated by those who have taught that spirits of the goetia are just in your head. What I experienced was not just in my head that is for sure.

[@makegeorgeorwellfictionaga9268]

P.S. not you Foolish FIsh

I get bests results from scrying in my black mirror when it is close to me within a foot of my face, but no more than two feet. For example, my black mirror will simply be resting on a table with support at a 45 to 60 deg angle and I am seated directly in front of it in a dim/dark room. Now of course after months being immersed in Golden Dawn type practices I would like to try out angelic evocation (similar to those in Ashen Chassan's Stone and Circle book) and perhaps a future Goetic evocation; but I am concerned that both these systems call for the scrying mirror to be placed outside the circle. Though Ashen does mention briefly in his Stone and Circle book pg 128 that he knows of human beings that do place the mirror within the circle but that that is not his personal preference. Does anyone have some insight whether I am good to go to evoke with my mirror within my circle, since this way I will be comfortable closer to the mirror. Also, my thoughts are that the circle (whether constructed with a rope and/or LBRP ritual) also exists in the astral plane and having the mirror within the circle in this physical plane should by no means reduce the circles power to protect in the astral plane and beyond....anyways some parting words of knowledge would be appreciated from any human being who has the courage to leave an opinion :-)

The answer came a few hours after posting the above question from scouring through my kindle books and reading John Greer's Circle of Power 3rd Edition a quote from Chapter 11 :"For this ceremony, the magical mirror should be placed at the center of the altar. Some recent books that have covered evocatory magic have suggested that the mirror should be placed outside the circle, like the triangle used in summoning spirits to physical manifestation. Still, the more traditional method can be found in the magical manuscripts of John Dee, Dr. Rudd, and Frederick Hockley, all of which were much studied by Golden Dawn adepts and have been reprinted in recent years. This is to place the mirror or shewstone within the circle, on an altar or table. This is much more convenient in practice, and equally safe; the presence of the banished circle and the use of the appropriate Names of God will keep the entity being invoked, or any other, from using the mirror as a gateway."
