〈水晶球占卜法〉
SCRYING is a fascinating practice in that it enables you to literally "see" the future (or present or past). Almost any reflective surface can be used for scrying (pronounced to rhyme with "crying"). A crystal ball and a gazing mirror are two of the best. Let's look at the crystal ball first. The crystal should be without flaw—no scratches on its surface or bubbles within (the new acrylic-plexiglass "crystals" work quite well, but scratch very easily). Rest the ball on a background of black. A black velvet cloth is ideal. This can, in turn, rest on a table in front of you or can cover your hand(s) if you wish to hold the crystal. This black background is to ensure that you see nothing around the ball to distract you as you gaze into it.
顯像占卜法是一項迷人的技藝，使你能夠看見未來（或是過去與現在）的畫面。大部分表面能夠反光的物品都可以用來做顯像占卜。一顆水晶球或是鏡子是最好的兩種物品。我們先從水晶球談起吧。
水晶球不應該有任何的表面刮傷或是有內包物和冰霧在球體裡（就是得要完全透明和乾淨無痕）。將水晶球放置在黑色的背景上。黑色絲絨布是最理想的。可以將黑布舖在前方的桌上或是覆蓋在（雙）手上，假使你想要握住水晶球的話。黑色的背景是為了確保你在做顯像占卜時，不會在水晶球的周圍看見另你分心的事物。
Initially you should work alone, in a room that is quiet and dark. Your temple, of course, is the ideal place. Have just one small light, preferably a candle. Place the light so that you do not see it reflected directly in the crystal. Burn a pleasant-smelling incense, since it will help you concentrate. Work in a consecrated circle, at least to begin with. Later, if you should want to use the crystal elsewhere, you can simply imagine yourself surrounded by, and completely encompassed in, white light; though even then I would strongly advise casting a small circle about yourself with your athame. Start by saying some protective prayer (such as the Seax-Wica Psalm), then ask the Lord and the Lady for their guidance and their protection.
初始，你應該先在一個安靜且昏暗的房間裡獨自練習。當然，你的祭壇是最理想的所在。點一隻蠟燭。將蠟燭放到火光不會直接反射在球體裡的地方。點燃好聞的薰香，因為它會幫助你專注。一開始時，至少，請在魔法圓裡工作。之後，倘若你想要在別處使用水晶球占卜，你可以簡單的想像你被白光徹底的包圍。雖然我強烈建議在周圍用你的亞連匕首畫一個小魔法圓。誦唸一些有保護作用的祈禱詞作為開始。
Now sit and gaze into the crystal trying to keep your mind blank. This is not easy and will take some practice. Do not stare at the ball unblinking; this will just cause eyestrain! Gaze—blinking your eyes naturally, as necessary. Do not try to imagine anything in the ball. Just try to keep your mind blank. After a while (anywhere from two to ten minutes) it will seem that the ball is filling with white mist or smoke. It will gradually grow more and more dense until the ball seems full of it. Then, again gradually, the smoke will thin and fade, leaving behind a picture—almost like a miniature television picture. It might be in black-and-white but is more likely to be in color. It might be still or it might be moving. It might be from the past, present or future. Also, it is very likely to be a symbolic picture, requiring some interpretation—much like a dream.
現在，坐好並凝視著水晶球，試著讓你的腦袋保持空白。這並不容易且會花上一些時間來練習。不要盯著水晶球卻不眨眼睛，這只會造成眼睛疲勞罷了，必要時讓你的雙眼自然眨動。不要試著想像、預設任何畫面會出現在球裡。單純地讓你的腦袋放空就好。一段時間之後（二到十分鐘），球體內似乎開始浮現出白霧或煙。它會漸漸增加、變濃厚，直到整顆球似乎充滿了白色的煙霧。接著，逐漸地，煙霧會退去，留下影像畫面。有點像是小型版的電視機畫面。或許畫面會是黑白的，但最有可能的是彩色；畫面可能是靜止或移動的；可能是過去現在或未來；更有可能會出現如同夢境般需要解讀象徵性的符號或畫面
Initially you have no great control over what you see. You must just take what comes. As you become more adept, you may meditate for afew moments before gazing on what you wish to see. Then, when you start to gaze, clear your mind and try to keep it blank. Most people seem capable of success at scrying. If you get nothing the first time you try, then try again the next night, and then the next. It may take a week or more before you get anything, but keep trying. Do not, however, try for more than about ten minutes or so at each attempt.
一開始，你並不能完全控制你看到的，你只能接受每一次出現的畫面。但當你越來越熟練，你可以在占卜前冥想幾分鐘，想著你想看見的畫面。之後，當你開始凝視時，清空你的腦袋、思想並保持空白。大部分的認似乎在顯像占卜上做得很成功。如果你剛開始看不任何畫面，那就隔天再試一次，再看不到就再試一次。在你看見之前，或許會花上一個禮拜或更多的時間。請不斷嘗試。然而，不要試著一次做超過十分鐘。 {:7_96:}{:7_96:}{:7_96:}{:8_99:}
