Flower Petal Scrying Bowl

• Handful (approximately ¼ cup) hibiscus flower petals
  
• Wooden bowl
• Water
• 2 white votive candles
• Journal or writing paper

Instructions:
Begin by visualizing a sphere of white light surrounding you and your
magical space.
State your intention that only messages from positive, beneficent energies
will be received.
Spend a few moments quieting your mind.
When you are ready, place the wooden bowl in the middle of your altar, on a
table, or on the floor.
Light each votive candle and place it on either side of the bowl.
Extinguish all other lights so that only the candles remain.
Pour in the water until it reaches close to the top of the bowl and sprinkle the
hibiscus leaves on the surface of the water.
Sit quietly and allow the water to begin to settle as you breathe.
Inhale and count to four, then exhale and count to four.
Close your eyes and repeat this process until you begin to feel very relaxed.
State the purpose of your magical work out loud.
You might say, for example, “It is my will to see the best way forward
regarding my situation.”
If you’d like to scry in a more general way, just to see what you will see, you
might say something like, “Love and light, Blessed Be. Show me what I need
to see.”
Allow yourself to gaze into the bowl of water as your eyes and mind relax.
Let various images arise in the water and petals. Do not judge the images, or
try to explain them. Just observe and let them flow into your vision.
When you feel you are done, record your experiences and thoughts in your
journal.
