To make an eyewash, you will first need to create a clean eyebath. The eyebath can be a sink that you have washed with warm, soapy water and then rinsed with boiling water, or it could be a good-sized portable vessel (clean this one too). Now boil water again to fill the eyebath/vessel and place all the herbs (one teaspoon each) in the water. Allow between 15 and 20 minutes for the herbs to infuse. As the herbs infuse in the water, light the mugwort and wormwood incense, and say the following chant:

Witch’s Sight,

Second Sight,

Upon my brow

May Sight alight!

Wait for another 15–20 minutes for the water to be cool enough to bathe (splash) the eyes with. Scoop up some of the infusion into a medium-sized jug or bowl, and use a piece of cheesecloth to strain the liquid into another vessel, from which you will begin the bathing. Bathe the eyes for approximately 30 seconds, then pat dry gently.

Scrying: Visions through Reflection

Scrying is the art of seeing visions and receiving intuitions through the medium of a reflective surface. The physical medium could be a dark mirror, a flame, or a bowl of dark water. Once again, as with any form of divination or clairvoyance, the way one receives, or sees, differs between each person. I generally see visual images and symbols either form in the receptacle (the mirror, the flame, or the water) or in my mind’s eye, which has been stimulated by the reflective surface. Others will suddenly have peculiar thoughts for no apparent reason or a subtle sense of knowing will be aroused. It really doesn’t matter how it works, only that it does.

For the following exercise, obtain a scrying receptacle and enter a meditative state. Gaze into the receptacle and breathe deeply and slowly, gradually deepening your state as you look into and through the surface of the receptacle and not directly at it. For example, if you are working with a dark mirror, gaze into its depths and not at the glass. Look at the mirror as a window into another world, and eventually you will feel as if you are falling into it. Likewise with candle scrying: gaze into the flame, and in your mind’s eye see it grow tall and wavering as it consumes you. Become the flame. This principle can be applied to any medium. Simply dissolve into its presence and force, and become one with the flow of fate. Through this altered state of consciousness, we are able to know and to see. As my good friend Ana James would say, “If you know, you know; if you see, you see.”
