Both the Egyptions and Babylonians scryed by means of an oil lamp. The lamp consisted of a stone which was shaped as a low open dish with a strip of white linen coiled in the oil that had an endwhich hung over the side of the dish. The Egyptians used clear oil made from oasis palm plants. They believed that the clearer the oil, the better the results. This is in essence, candle or flame scrying, watching the flame, which can play tricks on your eyes in a dark room.

Place your lamp on a table. Sit on the west side facing east across the lamp.

Using the name of the God of that day, chant a suitable invocation toward the flame - in a soft voice - repeating several times. Your mantra may be as simple as calling the God's name. Focus on the flame. You may see or sense shadows off to one side (peripheral vision). Telepathically ask a question. You may hear voices or see images. Flames create illusion. This exercise is not for those with emotional problems
