How to Cleanse a Scrying Mirror

Scrying mirrors can collect fingerprints and smudges over time. Whether you own a glass or obsidian scrying mirror, herbal infusions are more appropriate for cleansing your mirror than household glass cleaning products that may contain harsh chemicals. The metaphysical attributes of specific herbs and oils help purify the energy of your scrying tool while simultaneously clearing away dust, dirt and other human-imposed imperfections from the surface of your mirror.

Saucepan
Essential pennyroyal oil
Cheesecloth
