Cave of Wisdom - Shadow Work Scrying Mirror

Our Cave of Wisdom scrying mirror is lovingly crafted from a vintage frame, working with the spirit of the frame to rebirth it into a partner in divination. The frame is stone-like in appearance, with cracks running through that reveal gold hidden within the stone that represents the wisdom we seek in the Cave. The scrying surface, housed in the center of the stone, is the mouth of the Cave which must be entered to gather both knowledge and understanding. The Cave is a place that must be braved to glean knowledge not accessible elsewhere; sometimes the Cave leads to the Underworld, sometimes it houses a Hag like the Cailleach. Entering the Shadows of the Cave inspires both fear and excitement for the potential discoveries waiting inside that cannot be found elsewhere. This mirror is particularly fond of Shadow Work, facing fears, and both the uncovering of deep, ancestral wisdom and the empathy to use that knowledge wisely. It prefers working with chthonic deities, especially those linked with Caves, such as Hekate, Baba Yaga, the Callieach, Kybele, the Norns, and Angrboda.

This mirror is 7.75x7.75 inches while the scrying surface measures 3x3 inches

All our scrying mirrors are prepared magically and with intention throughout each step of the crafting process. We begin preparing our materials by cleansing each element with a hand-blended mix of purifying waters. Once the scrying surface has been prepared, it is first marked with a handcrafted bindrune to promote psychic clarity and protection. This bindrune is carefully blended into the deep black of the scrying mirror using 3 separate layers of paint. This ensures an evenly black surface while infusing the mirror with the magic of the number 3, known for its mystical properties, and gently diffusing the magic of the bindrune throughout the entire scrying surface. Once each element has been lovingly prepared and assembled, every mirror is washed with a tea for increased psychic clarity and protection made from hand-blended mixture of herbs centering around Mugwort.
