Amazon.com Review
I've had mixed success with scrying, but following some of the well thought out exercises in this book helped me to pin down a number of things that were hindering my progress. If you've had trouble with scrying, or have an interest in expanding your skills beyond the tarot and other usual forms of divination, Scrying for Beginners is a genuinely helpful book that demystifies this ancient art.

Product Description
Scrying for Beginners is for anyone who longs to sit down before the mirror or crystal and lift the rolling grey clouds that obscure their depths. Scrying is a psychological technique to deliberately acquire information by extrasensory means through the unconscious mind. For the first time, all forms of scrying are treated in one easy-to-read, practical book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, October 18, 2005

By	C. McEachern - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book for beginners. It details exercises to increase your scrying ability. "Scrying for Beginners" goes into some detail on a lot of different scrying methods and includes a little bit of history as well as how to make some of your own scrying implements.

4.0 out of 5 stars An okay book, May 9, 1999

By A Customer

This book was good for me because I am a beginner, but at some points the book was hard to read. I would definately recomend this book to someone who wanted information on scrying, or wanted to know how to select the best tools.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written but somewhat imcomplete, April 14, 2007

By	J. Stroiney "reclusive writer" (Somewhere in the Northeast) - See all my reviews

I thought that this book was informative, and gave a lot of information on various types of scrying. However, the book only scratched the surface of so many types of scrying. . . frankly, if you aren't using a mirror, ball, candle, or pendulum, then you won't get as much information. Nevertheless, the book was not aimed at any particular religion (as I have noticed Llewellyn publications tend to be) and the exercises were easily incorporated into anyone's spiritual exercises. I'd recommend buying it because it is well written and keeps your attention, but is best suited for a beginner, as the title indicates.
