Dionysos Amphora Scrying Mirror
Dionysos Amphora Scrying Mirror
Our Dionysos Amphora scrying mirror is lovingly crafted from a vintage frame, working with the spirit of the frame to rebirth it into a partner in divination. This mirror invokes Dionysos Ienaeus, Dionysos the Wine Bearer, who aids his followers in peering into his mysteries through wine and intoxication. It also holds within it the aspect of Dionysos Lyaeus (Dionysos who Unties): he who frees people of their cares and anxieties. Dionysos is frequently associated with bounty and fruit bearing trees, of which lemons are often associated with prosperity due to how plentiful their harvest tends to be.
This mirror measures 8.75 x 5.5 x 1 inches, with a scrying surface that measures 2.75 x 2.5 inches. The back includes a small bud vase attached, as seen in the last photo, that can be used to house offerings such as flowers or stick incense.
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.
