Scrying - The Dangerous Occult Practice

 The Dangerous Occult Practice that Opens the Door to Demonic Influence

The Dangerous Occult Practice that Opens the Door to Demonic Influence


Scrying—also known as crystal gazing, mirror gazing, or water divination—is an ancient occult practice where a person stares into a reflective surface to receive visions, messages, or predictions about the future. Though often portrayed as harmless or mystical, scrying is a form of divination strictly forbidden in Scripture because it seeks supernatural revelation apart from God.

Scrying is not new. It originated thousands of years ago in pagan cultures and was a common practice among witches, occultists, shamans, and sorcerers. From the crystal balls of medieval magicians to the black mirrors of modern occultists, scrying has always been rooted in accessing the spirit realm illegally.

According to historians, ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, Druids, and even Aztec priests practiced scrying as a way to communicate with spirits and receive “knowledge” from the unseen world.

Why Scrying Is Against the Bible

The Bible repeatedly condemns all forms of divination—including scrying—because it seeks supernatural knowledge apart from God, which opens the door to demonic deception.

  • Deuteronomy 18:10–12 – God calls divination an “abomination.”

  • Leviticus 19:31 – “Do not turn to mediums or familiar spirits.”

  • Isaiah 8:19 – God rebukes seeking the dead or other spirits for knowledge.

Scrying bypasses the Holy Spirit and instead invites familiar spirits (demons) to reveal images, voices, or visions. Though the visions may feel accurate, supernatural, or “comforting,” the source is demonic.


Where Did Scrying Come From?

The earliest records of scrying can be traced to:

⭐ Ancient Mesopotamia (Babylon)

Babylonian priests used bowls of oil or water to contact spirits. Their gods included Marduk and Ishtar.

⭐ Ancient Egypt

Egyptian magicians used polished obsidian mirrors to “speak with the gods.” These practices honored Horus, Isis, and Thoth—pagan deities tied to witchcraft and occult knowledge.

⭐ Celtic Druids

Druids practiced water scrying to contact nature spirits.

⭐ Middle Eastern & Mediterranean Occultism

Crystal balls became popular among medieval magicians under influences of Greek, Persian, and Arabic sorcery traditions.

In every culture, scrying was linked to false gods, witchcraft, or spirit communication—never to the worship of Yahweh.


What Do Scryers Believe?

Depending on the culture, scryers typically embrace beliefs such as:

  • Spirits can communicate through symbols or images

  • The universe sends messages

  • The future can be predicted

  • Dead ancestors or spirit guides offer wisdom

  • The “third eye” can be opened

  • Mirrors or crystals act as portals

These beliefs align with New Age spirituality, occultism, witchcraft, and divination, not Christianity.

The modern New Age movement teaches scrying as a way to “access intuition,” “open the psychic channel,” or “connect with higher consciousness”—all of which contradict the Word of God.


Why Do People Get Involved in Scrying?

People often turn to scrying because they want:

  • Answers about the future

  • Closure or connection with the dead

  • Supernatural power

  • Healing

  • Guidance

  • Spiritual experiences

But because scrying relies on demonic influence, any comfort or “insight” it provides is deceptive and spiritually dangerous.


Can Someone Be a Victim of Scrying or Remote Viewing?

Yes. Occult practitioners—including witches and psychics—sometimes attempt to “remote view” or psychically spy on others using scrying tools. This is a form of witchcraft surveillance.

Believers can protect themselves through:

  • The blood of Jesus

  • Binding and forbidding spirits of monitoring, divination, and witchcraft

  • Anointing the home

  • Renouncing all occult involvement

  • Breaking curses sent through divination

While demons may attempt to observe or influence, they cannot overpower the believer who stands in the authority of Jesus Christ.


Why Those Who Practice Scrying Need Deliverance

Scrying opens the door to:

  • Familiar spirits

  • False prophetic voices

  • Nightmares and visions

  • Mental torment

  • Psychic oppression

  • Addiction to supernatural experiences

  • Generational curses

  • Physical sickness

  • Spiritual blindness

Anyone who has used tarot cards, crystals, black mirrors, pendulums, or psychic meditation may need:

  • Repentance

  • Renunciation

  • Deliverance from divination spirits

  • Closing of spiritual portals

  • Breaking of soul ties with occult practices

45–55 Second YouTube Script

“Did you know crystal balls, black mirrors, and water gazing aren’t just fantasy? They’re part of an ancient occult practice called scrying—used to receive visions from the spirit realm.

The Bible calls this divination, and God warns us in Deuteronomy 18 that it is an abomination. Scrying didn’t come from God—it came from pagan cultures like Egypt, Babylon, and the Druids, who used crystals and mirrors to communicate with spirits.

But those spirits aren’t ancestors or guides—they’re demons. And anyone who practices scrying opens a door to spiritual torment, deception, and demonic influence.

If you’ve ever used a crystal ball, mirror gazing, or New Age psychic tools, there is hope. Jesus can break every tie to divination. Join me and learn how to walk in freedom.”
