Featuring Ellen Evert Hopman, Lucya Starza and Dr. Giovanni Caputo
In more ancient parts of the world our ancestors developed methods for (as they believed) viewing the past, the future and contacting beings or entities be they living or deceased from other realms.
This was serious business. The way a priest interpreted a reflection could be the difference of life and death if you were a potential foe of an emperor. More recently, the Christian church and individuals such as the self-appointed Witchfinder General Mathew Hopkins accused practitioners of these rituals of heresy or diabolism. A charge that could lead to burning at the stake.
But one academic, Italian Doctor of Psychology Giovanni Caputo decided to put one aspect of scrying – specifically mirror gazing – to the test. If you have even the most basic grasp of physics you might think it extraordinary to suggest you could look into a mirror and in place of your own reflection you might see a loved one, an animal or a complete stranger. But Dr. Caputo put this exact premise to the test. I interviewed him for this podcast and his findings may well surprise you. In this episode I explore the science of scrying and talk to Druid Priestess and author Ellen Evert Hopman author of A Legacy of Druids and member of www.tribeoftheoak.org and Lucya Starza of The College of Psychic Studies and author of a Bad Witch’s Blog. about the practice.

I love the fact that they’re not a Wiki: Every article they publish is reviewed by their editorial team, not only for being accurate, but also for being interesting to read. The website is run as a non-profit organization, so you won’t be bombarded by annoying ads and it’s completely free. It’s a great site; and don’t just take my word for it they’ve been recommended by many academic institutions including Oxford University.
