The act of moving a spirit or allowing a spirit to move within internal pathways, often to speak. If this is done unwillingly, it is referred to as possession. In a similar vein, there is also being "ridden" by a spirit in Voodoun. Scrying- Divination, usually using such methods as crystal gazing, or divination via incense smoke, or water. Divination being a magical means of inquiry or exploration, essentially gaining information or insight through non-normative means. The difference is one between giving part of bodily control to someone, as letting someone else push your fingers to type out what you want to know, which they may or may not choose to give you or watching the news which may or may not have the info you need. Also, there are other reasons for channeling other than information. It is ritually used as a tool to honor a divine and welcome that divine within a circle. (Not highly recommended as far as I am concerned, but still respectably done.) I hope this clears some things up. -Patti Path: typhoon.sonic.net!feed.news.sonic.net!news-out.nuthinbutnews.com!propagator-sterling!news-in.nuthinbutnews.com!news-spur1.maxwell.syr.edu!news.maxwell.syr.edu!feed.news.qwest.net!news.uswest.net.POSTED!not-for-mail From: "Tom" Newsgroups: alt.magick References: <5944dd93.0207231856.6ef89781@posting.google.com> Subject: Re: Scrying/Channeling Question Lines: 17 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000 Message-ID: Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2002 08:23:28 -0700 NNTP-Posting-Host: 216.26.16.221 X-Trace: news.uswest.net 1027524108 216.26.16.221 (Wed, 24 Jul 2002 10:21:48 CDT) NNTP-Posting-Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2002 10:21:48 CDT Xref: typhoon.sonic.net alt.magick:310792 "rb1_622" wrote in message news:5944dd93.0207231856.6ef89781@posting.google.com... > Is there really any difference between scrying and channeling?

Both practices are attempts to contact invisible intelligences and gather information not available through normal methods of inquiry. "Channelling" seeks to contact these entities by allowing one's body to be used by them to communicate with other people. "Scrying" uses some externalized object, usually something somewhat transparent-looking, such as a crystal, a pool of water, or a mirror, in which one "sees" the entity and communicates with it that way.

If Yes. Scrying is often a gnosis type thing. Other times scrying involves contacting other entities. But the scryer is not taken over by the entities. With channeling the entities sorta take-over the magus and talk through him or her. > there is it seems to be in technique. Often the scryer will use tools like tarot cards, runes, or at least a crystal to gaze in. With channeling these tools are not commonly used. - Peggy -
