What particularly are you trying to accomplish and what protections do you plan on implementing as things can go out of your control very quickly? Ill be glad to help but prefer not to if it may cause particular or potential harm to you. Also why the preference against the ars theurgis geotia?
I saw a program a while ago (The most haunted) where people placed a doll behind the person who looked into the mirror. and the person stared at the doll till the dollface began to change or move. and they thought it could be a spirit who possessed the doll. but you can also do it with your own face.
I dont belive in this stuff, I think its psychological.
Well thats a good start... any contact can invite possession by negative spirits I've seen it and performed exorcisms its not fun. I've found depending or your level of practice and energy just staring into it with the intent of whom you want to speak with can be enough though do not look directly at yourself. Make sure the room is dark with a candle or oil lamp providing light indirectly (behind you etc). Just make sure you're in the right frame of mind (meditative) and have a clear intent.
The person above suggested looking into your own face... yea don't do that. Best bet is the angle the mirror so you can stare into it without seeing you own reflection.
Listen to skiing. He speaks wise words right there!
If you use the scrying mirror, use it for divination not spirit communication. Angle the mirror so that the only thing it reflects is the soft light of a candle flame. Then gaze (not stare) at it as you meditate until you see what looks similar to clouds form in the mirror. Don't freak out, remain relaxed, or you'll set yourself back. After this you may ask questions, and your subconscious mind will take over, giving you answers in the form of images in the mirror's reflection. This is similar to a waking dream. It takes many hours of practice so don't think it is an easy technique to master. Everything worth while takes effort. Some are naturals, others must work at it.
Many say that we have the answers to everything within ourselves. Such things allow us to access these answers. Some involve spirits when scrying, but I prefer the only person I trust 100%..my higher self =)
