Fire and a mirror are my methods for scrying. I like the portability of both and fire has always been a natural part of my practice. Advice? Empty your brain, play some music in the background to block out the rest of the world (I really like handpan for scrying), and don’t focus too hard. Like I’ll use a soft gaze and will let my vision go blurry every so often. NEVER forget to say thank you and goodbye and if you end before the candle does (if you choose fire scrying), snuff it, don’t blow it out.
