| Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede! As the students got started on their tasks Professor Vance made her way around and among them to see if they had any difficulties, questions or simply just were on task. Considering the very late hour and warm classroom that invited to drowsiness and falling asleep even.
When all the students had left the student's and retaken their seats around their circular tables Professor Vance walked back to the center of the classroom to her high table to demonstrate the water scrying reading to the students. "Listen up and look closely as I demonstrate how you all are going to do your water scrying readings in just a few minutes! First you need to raise the pitcher full of water over the bowl and trying to visualize wisdom and guidance in the water. Next you carefully pour the pitcher water into your bowl and see the moons energy charging the water." Laurel instructed as she also performed the steps. "When your bowl is full of water, you need to position yourself so that you can see the moon's light reflected directly into the water. Now stare into the water and look for patterns, symbols or pictures. Don't freak out if you see some images moving or even words forming! Record everything you see on a piece of parchment and what it might mean!"
Right at that moment Laurel's face went blank as she stared into the water bowl and said loudly "I see images forming..I see a pair of twins, a man and a woman ... the Williams twins, writing a letter and placing it in a black envelope and sending it away with an owl." Coming out of her prediction trance she momentarily stared straight at the students for a good minute or two before she snapped out of it and addressed the students. "Well what are you waiting for you've got 30 minutes! Start water scrying!" OOC: Main activity time! We're water scrying, follow the following steps to get full point credit for the main practical. You can complete the activity in as many or as few posts as you'd like. There is no post count. And catching up posts are still allowed Steps to water scrying: 1. Raise the water pitcher over the bowl and try to visualize wisdom and guidance in the water. 2. Pour water into the bowl see the moons energy charge the water 3. Position yourself so that you see the moon light reflected directly into the water in your bowl. 4. Stare into the water and record/write down all patterns, images, symbols you might see on a piece of parchment and try to interpret what they mean.
For interpreting symbols you can use the list in the spoiler below or use this site if those aren't enough since tea leaves symbols are similar to water symbols. SPOILER!!: Common symbols
Water Scrying Interpretations And What They Mean:
When you concentrate on your bowl and concentrating on the water you will see colours or visions around in there. These visions will be negative or positive. These are merely visions from your own mind.
Light colours = Good omen
Dark colours = Inauspicious
Clouds of white, green & blue = Good signs, joy
Green = Hope, increases with the depth of the tint
Black = Negative, inauspicious, evil
Red, orange, yellow = Unfavorable signs
Red, orange = Hatred, passion, danger, violent emotions, trouble
Yellow = Envy, malice, jealousy
Rising clouds = affirmative
Sinking clouds = negative
Visions far in the background = Distant past or future
Visions near the middle = Near past or future
If you somehow notice some symbols in your water bowl, that's perfectly alright. Below are the interpretations of what these symbols mean.
Flaming torch = Enlightenment and progress
Serpent = Astuteness, cunning
Ship = Commerce and travel
Sun = Prosperity, success, honor and preferment
Waxing moon = Growth, increase of prosperity
Waning moon = Ill luck, bad health, loss
Visions near the front = Present, immediate future
