Let’s talk about working with the Water Element; divination, magical waters, workings and cultivating a relationship with it and its spirits.

🎶Sharing my experiences and thoughts, don’t rely on just this make your own experiences and thoughts.🎶

How do I grow my relationship with Water itself?

Begin opening yourself up to it more and incorporating it into your daily life. When I began building my relationship with it this is what I did:

To be done over a months period

Washed my hands & face with cold water when waking up and letting them air dry as much as possible.

Brushing out my hair and braiding it, picturing my hair flowing like a river with every movement of my fingers.

Beginning my day by intentionally drinking a glass of water, sitting down to really appreciate it and how it aides your body. I like cold water because you can easier feel it flow through you, I also like charging it beforehand.

Visit as many water sources as possible during this period. I am lucky enough to live by the pacific ocean and I would go and swim in it everyday to cultivate my relationship. However, if that is inaccessible for you there’s options such as sitting by a public pool, taking a bath, standing in the rain, eating your lunch by a river, etc.

While you’re spending time with water just talk to it. Tell it stories, sing it songs, ask it questions, water is living and it longs for a connection.

Record your progress throughout the month either in written journal entries, scrapbooking, or digital trackers. Just have a way for you to look back at how you’ve changed during this period.

What can I benefit from working with water?

Regardless on where you are from, what path of life you are following or anything else we are connected by our need for water. It is not only our connection to other humans but our connection to the natural world as well. It makes up 3/4 of our planet and 60% of your body. You can get a better understanding of yourself just by going back to that fundamental need to sustain yourself with water as a life-force. The element itself is well known to be a very introspective force and most spirits representing or associated are similar (spg). When you are inviting it into your home you are inviting that connection and energy in too.

Water takes life without discrimination, just as it gives life. Working within that provides a confidence and at least in my experience a sense of balance within ones self. If you are feeling like you are being tossed by the path of life, as if you are a lone ship at a storming sea, this might be your sign to stop fighting the current and start moving with it. If you can make the waves move at your asking then what is there to stop you.

Hydromancy

hy·dro·man·cy /ˈhīdrəˌmansē/

noun

divination by means of signs derived from the appearance of water and its movement.

Some argue this is the first form of scrying Hydromancy is a very useful tool. It can be done with natural bodies of water, or things like tubs, cups and bowls. It can be frustrating to begin so this is how I would begin if I were you: (works better with an established connection to water)

Go somewhere quiet and still, I prefer outside at night but do what is safe and comfortable for you.

Prepare your space and yourself however you normally would set the tone for a divination reading. Some choose to say a blessing prayer, drink a divination tea blend, or anoint themselves with particular salve or oil. I will usually ritually prepare myself (let me know if you want me to go more into this).

In a shallow dark colored bowl (or scrying bowl), pour your preferred water of choice. I usually go with waning moon water.

Relax and begin to gaze into the water. Let yourself open up to messages. Sometimes it comes as scenes of images, or a shape or even words that can come through.

Write down anything you receive to interpret later on.

If you are struggling try this ritual but use the light of a candle or the moon to interpret those shapes. Or meditate with the bowl and pour it out onto the ground and scry the shape it leaves behind.

Hydromancy and Scrying

So I tried scrying for the first time a few nights ago. My experience was compelling (????) so I am going to share it.

The first time I was introduced to scrying (outside of fiction) was last year when I read The Witch of the Forest's Guide to Natural Magick by Lindsay Squire. She introduces scrying as an exercise that, like other methods of divination, assists in revealing or seeing hidden information. I don't believe in supernatural scrying, like seeing the future or talking to spirits, but I firmly believe that divination can bring things to the surface of your mind from your subconscious. Many methods of scrying involve meditation upon a reflective surface, but Squire also discusses things like pyromancy and bibliomancy.

Instructions for scrying, as stated in her book, promote passive observance of the subject of divination (fire, water, deck of cards, flock of birds, etc). With scrying, as the images come and go in our mind we should attempt to interpret them.

Hydromancy, where the reflective surface for scrying is water, seemed the most appealing to me--but it took me a long time to find a scrying bowl that worked. It ended up being a shallow, circular, matte black ceramic bowl. At night, I lit a candle, turned all the lights off, bent my head over the bowl, and observed the water. Afterward, I wrote down my experience:

"I am in a dark room--spherical and all black with traces of white and blue creating hints of shadow and depth, solid but blurry in the water.

There seems to be a rodent to my right (or something like a rodent) looking over a wooden desk at me, talking. He's got a man's voice and he speaks English. He's very wise, but he's small. He's very blunt, too--not rude, but he doesn't waste time on sentimentality or getting too emotional about things. He's generally not very emotional, but he's smart and kind. He knows what he's talking about, and he's generally right about things.

To my left, light is shining through two separate doorways, one big and one small. They are doorways to other places but I don't know where they go. I'm having a hard time deciding whether I should focus on the wise rodent, or the other doorways. I decide that the doorways and the rodent are equally important.

Then my cat distracts me, and I decide that this was more than enough for a first scrying session. I blow the candle out."

I think I'll be chewing on this one for a while, honestly. What an interesting first-time experience. I'll say it's possible the animal that was speaking to me is some aspect of my higher self, or an aspect of myself that I am looking to for guidance right now. I felt extremely comforted by him, like I knew him very well. Y'all, I literally just imagined a rodent in a scrying bowl lit by a candle in the dark, but he feels like a very real aspect of myself that I want to get to know better.

TLDR; Based on my first impressions, scrying is really fun, is a great writing exercise and also returns those feelings of enchantment that I felt when I was a kid.

thinking abt how all of gevie’s relationships w her friends involve them seeing through each other in some way

#talktag #mona due to her hydromancy and also her no nonsense demeanor #(and also her friendship w fischl) lets her see past the persona gevie projects #and once gevie takes the rose tinted glasses off she sees mona not as the infallible astrologist #but as someone who is silly goofy just like everyone else #venti always knows more than he lets on for obvious reasons #and gevie picks up on who he really is #but they both only engage with the persona they project but in a way where they’re both in on the joke #one of the reasons diluc is so drawn to gevie in the first place #is that she is constantly pushing aside his titles and his coat of arms to probe the real him #and diluc has always accepted gevie for who she is #like yeah this is the basis for any good relationship ig but #the friends gevie ends up making kind of belies what her true wishes always were #she changed her name she changed her appearance she changed her life #all in the hopes of becoming someone that would be fine being alone #but the bonds she forms and the people she is drawn too are all ppl #who to some extent see her for who she truly is #oh also i forgot lisa #there’s not much abt lisa for gevie to really see through #but lisa was the one person who knew gevie before she reinvented herself

Weird Scrying Session - Journal Excerpt

9 November, 2023 (Evening):

I've just had another go at scrying and I think it was a good learning experience, though nothing went as planned. I will attempt to elaborate.

First, I did something brave and I don't know precisely why it was brave, just that it was. I decided to use the larger candles--the cream colored votives, not the tealights. And for me, this was kind of scary because for some reason breaking out the votives (which I've never used before for my practice) means something definitive. It almost feels like I left someone else behind--I left behind a more timid version of myself, who doesn't use the votives because they are exponentially more expensive than the tealights, because bigger candles mean bigger magic, and I'm not there yet. It feels really unsafe here on the other side, in the reality that I lit the votives for magical purposes. It feels like my entire body is resisting this mode of self in relation to the world. But I lit those damned votives anyway, and now I can't go back. But I digress.

Next--I lit too many candles. Easy lesson there. One votive was all I needed for hydromancy in my black scrying bowl. Gosh, the votives are much brighter than the tealights.

Third, I'd decided to use water that I'd darkened with my fountain pen ink, or perhaps I took the ink from my mom's supply. It was being stored in a brown apothecary bottle that I'd labelled "Dragon's Breath" for decoration. Since I'd poured the water into the scrying bowl by candlelight, I couldn't really see how the ink had settled into the water. I had a preconceived idea of the way the water and ink would interact, and so I saw that the lighter shapes in the water were bits of ink reflecting in the candlelight. I saw a brown bear playing a flute, a witch conjuring a bunny rabbit--nothing that really spoke to me. After I was finished, I turned the lights on and discovered that I'd been perceiving the state of things inversely: The lighter shapes were not clumps of ink moving across the water, they were the bottom of the scrying bowl. The darker shapes were the ink particles, which had bunched up in grains that resembled potting soil. I'd been discerning negative space as the independent variable, as the moving material taking shape.

I don't know how else to say this--it is evidence of perception and its disconnect from physical reality--that so much of our lived experience is directly impacted by perception, which is often much different than what is objectively real.

So you might say that this hydromancy session was a complete flop, because I didn't see any compelling images in the water. But I will take lessons in any form the universe decides to offer up; I do not retain any prejudices there.

Lastly: I highly prefer pouring candle wax on the water for divination. I tried this after turning the lights back off as a second thought, and it works beautifully. Apparently the melted wax on water technique is called "carromancy," and technically I don't think this is a method of scrying (it does not rely on a reflective surface).

It's been an interesting night over here. Talk about finding magic in the mundane.

I just realized that webtorre's outer coat in his white suit outfit and dottore's body harness in his game outfit is probably straitjacket-inspired

also, I really hope that thing hanging from his left arm is a dowsing pendulum and not just some random design, WHICH MEANS: 1) hydro dottore; 2) imagine dottore boss battle and he attacks with a dowsing chain like kurapika (HxH) or lyserg (shaman king)

#mine musings #liveblogging genshin #look astrology and hydromancy is real in genshin so dowsing?? a possibility
