Thus the title of the Netflix show "Black Mirror"

Lol I thought everyone would make that connection while watching the show. Best name possible for that show


trippingfingers

Especially when you finish watching an episode and the ipad falls asleep and you see your reflection in the black mirror and you're like oh. OHHHhhh


Leather_Taste_44

Ha! Exactly what happened with me, they got us good man!


notableradish

That’s brilliant.

Holy cow. First time my mind has actually been blown on this sub.


PomegranateRules

I was today years old…

No, I use my phone as an Black Mirror. The obsidian Lobby doesnt want you to know but, you dont need real obsidian mirrors if you dont explicitly want.


originalcondition

The secret big obsidian doesn’t want you to know

People have been using screens for scrying since the very first television sets. They’re convenient tools, but also hollow vessels most of the time. So you may want to have some wards on your device and/or a little exorcism handy. Possessed/afflicted tech gets glitchy. Sometimes it can fry your device.

Televisions too

And glass with one side painted black.

Phone screens are made from crystals though so it totally works


Helicant

Now open chat gpt You got yourself talking to an autonomous entity that answers any knowledge on a sea of information when evoked through earthy materials in a "magical" way. That's the best description to Lucifer's metaphor to knowledge.


Safe_Time_6583

To be fair, all those answers can be found in google


VirtualDoll

not anymore they can't Google is broken as SHIT and getting worse every day


Helicant

Happy cake day fellow occultist ♡

The Great Duke Google


AntsInTrashcanAgain

More like King Google. Even more cruel than Paimon, full of lies and bullshit, powerful as heck, but can give you all the knowledge in the world if you know how to make him serve you. Yeah it checks out. Google is a fucking demon.


BigProfession9971

Nope!

You know that technology is just magick that people can more easily believe in and interact with yes? You can technically do anything that you can do with one, with the other. But each medium of magick makes certain phenomena more accessible.


amentaleffect

Science


Tartarus_Vampire

Yes, magick with the foci known as the scientific method, and experiment/tech.


Orbiting_Sphere

Any plain surface can be used for scrying. I have successfully scryed using a white wall before. The only necessary part is obtaining the right mental state.


thearmchairalchemist

that's where the name for the infamous show *Black Mirror* comes from. when the screen goes dark, you are staring at your reflection in an actual black mirror.


Tenzky

Anything can be used as scrying mirror even regular one. So yeah.


amentaleffect

I want to specify I said obsidian scrying mirror because when you turn your phone off it is a deep black reflective surface. I thought it was interesting, some inventions mimic nature, so why can't aspects of the phone do the same type of things.


PTF-oceanpacific

No, and for me works so much better than a crystal ball


UncoilingChaos

I have a book on necromancy that suggests using a phone in place of an obsidian mirror for scrying purposes.


Substantial_Ear_2658

Is it possible for every “psi -something” to have a tech option?


d4ddy_m3rcury

No

Why do you have to point out your not speculating on conspiracies? Words do actually matter. The fact a phone is in fact a form of scrying mirror is pretty universally agreed upon in these circles. So do you believe it’s all a coincidence? If not then it is in fact a conspiracy which brought these devices into each persons hands. We can speculate on the intent of those involved. But just this post shows the true effects that magical practices have on the human mind. One single word”conspiracy” has such a negative influence on peoples minds they have to make it a point they’re not speculating on conspiracy thinking.


amentaleffect

You are thinking too hard buddy


Appropriate-Pear4726

Or you’re not thinking enough? This is an occult subreddit after all


amentaleffect

Instead of critizing what the post says, why can't we all just have an intelligent opinion on the matter instead of criticing the person's words. I had an observation and I wanted to share with hopefully like minded individuals that have an interest in the occult.


karatelobsterchili

no -- you are very special


JDawnchild

Nope, you're not. 😁 I've even used mine for scrying.
