In Western cultures, death often means the loss of a loved one - never to speak to them again. But what if death just requires a different form of communication? For thousands of years, people all over the world have communicated with the dead using various forms of scrying, also known as clear-depth gazing. Intellectuals like John Dee, Nostradamus, Plato and even entire civilisations such as the Aztecs, Greeks, Egyptians, Persians and many others, used clear-depth gazing with reflective cups, pools of water, cauldrons and mirrors so that the bereaved could continue their connection with the dead. Clear-depth gazing has been and continues to be, a way of seeing visions of things past and moments in the future. Used by cultures primitive and advanced, scrying is seeing resurgence in practice to “see the unseen.”
Enter award-winning author, Dr. Raymond Moody, the leading authority on the near-death experience. After travelling to the Greek psychomanteum known as the Oracle of the Dead in Ephyra, Greece, he built his own psychomanteum to continue studying the effects of using this technique to experience contact with departed loved ones. What he discovered will forever change how we process death.
