If you can't obtain a crystal, it is possible to use a regular convex magnifying glass lens. Polished carefully and laid on the black velvet, it will work almost as well as the ball. Whichever you use, ball or lens, keep it purely for your scrying. Let no one else use it or even handle it. Keep it wrapped in a cloth (its black velvet or a piece of black silk) and do not permit sunlight to strike it. It is traditional to "charge" the crystal by holding it up to be struck by the light of the full moon, once a month.
如果你沒辦法取得一顆水晶球，那就使用一般的凸透鏡鏡片。小心的擦亮他，並放置在黑布上，他會像水晶球一般好用。無論你使用球體或鏡片，請保持他的純淨。別讓任何人使用他或碰觸他。將他用黑布包起來，並且別讓陽光照射到他。傳統上，請每個月都將他高舉夜空，並接受月光的「充電」一次。
A black gazing mirror seems to work better for some people than a crystal. It is not difficult to make one for yourself. You need a piece of glass, free of flaws and imperfections. Make it opaque by coating one side three times with asphaltum. To make the asphaltum stick to the glass, first clean the glass well with turpentine, then lay on the asphalt with a camel-hair brush.
對某些人來說，一個黑色的凝視用鏡子會比水晶球來得好用。給自己製作一個並不難，你需要一片完好無瑕疵的玻璃，將其中一面用瀝青塗上至少三遍。為了使瀝青能夠依附在玻璃上，首先要用松脂好好清理玻璃，接著用駱駝毛的刷子刷上瀝青（註）。
A much easier method is simply to spray the back side of the glass with a good black enamel paint (it may not seem very magickal, but don't forget, the mirror is merely the focal point for your concentration. The actual "images" are projected by your powers; they do not come from within the mirror, or crystal, itself). A concave glass is the ideal. It is sometimes possible to find a convex glass from an old clock-face, in an antique store, and simply reverse it so that it is concave.
一個更簡單的方法是用烤漆噴霧噴在玻璃的其中一面上（這或許看起來並沒有很「魔法」，但是別忘記了，鏡子只是使你專注的焦點。真正的畫面是經由你的力量投射出來的，並不是從鏡子或水晶球裡頭來）。一片凹面鏡是理想的。有時候可能會在老舊型的時鐘表面上、古董店、找到凸面鏡，將他倒轉過來，就成了凹面鏡。
Place the glass in a frame. The shape is not important: round; oval; rectangular; square. Carve, or paint, onto the frame the names of the Lord and the Lady, in runes or one of the other magickal alphabets (see Lesson Twelve). As you are doing this—indeed, throughout the whole operation of making the mirror— concentrate your thoughts on the purpose of the mirror ... the projection of scenes from the past, present and future..
將玻璃鏡片放在相框裡，形狀不重要：圓的、橢圓、矩形、正方形皆可。在相框上以盧恩符文或其他魔法文字（女巫文字、天使文字等）刻上或畫上女神與男神之名。當你正在做這項工作時（當然，在製作鏡子的整個過程中）專注你的思想於這面鏡子的用途上﹍﹍過去、現在、未來的畫面的投射。
Consecrate the mirror in your circle, using the consecration ritual given in Lesson Five, naturally substituting the word "mirror" for "knife". When not in use, keep the mirror wrapped in a black cloth. To give you an easy start to scrying, before investing in a ball or making a mirror, try it with a glass of water. Just take a regular, clear water-glass and fill it with water. Gaze into that in the same way as described above. It should work quite well.
在魔法圓中聖別化你的鏡子。不用時，請將鏡子用黑布包好。給你們一個在做顯像占卜法之前一個簡單的練習，拿個普通且透明的玻璃杯，倒滿水。以同樣的方式來凝視水杯。他應該也會起效用。
註：我認為用一般的玻璃片，其中一面用黑色的壓克力顏料來上色就可以了。不用用到瀝青那麼麻煩又臭。 {:7_96:}{:7_96:}{:7_96:}{:8_99:}
