Our Gilt Gravesite scrying mirrors are lovingly crafted from vintage frames, working with the spirit of the frame to rebirth it into a partner in divination. Each of these mirrors features a gilt, golden frame in Baroque style with curving swirls around the frame. These mirrors are fond of delving into matters of Luxury: the many forms it take, discovering what is most luxurious to each of us, and how to best achieve that success. They prefer to scry alongside the ancestors, who best understand the realities of life in this world, how to both chase and attain dreams, and the sacrifices necessary along the way. The ancestors have a realistic perspective of the costs that must be paid to achieve our dreams, and (oftentimes) a desire to see us achieve the success and luxury they may not have achieved in their own lives. Queer practitioners may find additional insight when scrying with queer ancestors, who have lived experience with the difficulties queer people have achieving success, as well as the little ways to make our lives luxurious without a huge price tag. We have three styles available: Large Baroque, Small Baroque, and Art Deco. Our Large Baroque frame is made of heavy, scrolling golden metal; it is 11x8.5 inches and the scrying surface measures 5.5x3.75 inches.Our Art Deco frame is made of bronze-tone metal with patterned scalloped edges reminiscent in art deco styling, showing a different form of luxury; it is 5.75x4.25 inches and the scrying surface measures 4.5x3 inches. All our scrying mirrors are prepared magically and with intention throughout each step of the crafting process. We begin preparing our materials by cleansing each element with a hand-blended mix of purifying waters. Once the scrying surface has been prepared, it is first marked with a handcrafted bindrune to promote psychic clarity and protection. This bindrune is carefully blended into the deep black of the scrying mirror using 3 separate layers of paint. This ensures an evenly black surface while infusing the mirror with the magic of the number 3, known for its mystical properties, and gently diffusing the magic of the bindrune throughout the entire scrying surface. Once each element has been lovingly prepared and assembled, every mirror is washed with a tea for increased psychic clarity and protection made from hand-blended mixture of herbs centering around Mugwort.
