Cold Mountain - An Adventure in Scrying

Renee Zelwegger?
I love that movie, especially when Renee comes on the scene as the
character Ruby just as Nicole is freaking out over the aggressive
rooster and she picks up the rooster, calmly rings his neck, and says
"Let's put 'im in a pot". I love that scene.
Anyway, for those of you who were entranced or confused by the scene
at the well, when Nicole bent over backwards and gazed in a mirror to
view the reflection of the water to see her future, this practice of
gazing into a reflective surface to divine your fate is known as
"scrying".
There are many differing forms of scrying, you can use a candle flame,
a mirror, automatic writing, dowsing, the pendulum, a ouija board or
your dreams. Scrying is as ancient as any of the other metaphysical
arts.
Nostradamus utilized scrying to foretell the future.
Anyway, back to our movie.
Nicole looks into the mirror as she is bent over backwards over the
well and sees a man walking down a road with crows flying all around
him. She takes that man to be Jude Law, the actor playing the role of
her estranged love, away fighting the civil war. She feels
intuitively that it is an image of Jude falling to his fate and is
very shaken by the scrying session.
The movie goes on and we approach the climax. Nicole is up on Cold
Mountain and a man comes toward her against a backdrop of snow, she
pulls her shotgun on him, crows take off from the trees around him and
the image that she scried in the well comes to her and she realizes it
is her love returning to her.
At that time, as they reunite, she believes that she misinterpreted
her vision, and that the message was not that Jude would fall, but
that he would return.
The movie continues, and, as any have seen the movie well know,
Nicole's initial "gut reaction" to the vision was correct.
This was a great movie, but also a lesson for any who take part in any
of the metaphysical sciences involving divination. Your first
impression when doing a reading is the message that the Higher Power
is sending, do not try to twist it or bend it or shape it into what
you want, listen to the message and prepare yourself for the
challenge.
