Why don't men scry

[IrezumiKiss]

Some used to. But many can't seem to express enough interest in the craft. Now it's pretty much women driving the images and representation of scrying, like fortune-teller ladies in popular entertainment and street fairs.

Is it society or horrible financial incentives or the smelly materials or the hippie fashion sense associated with the profession that give men less emotion for doing divinations and soothsaying?

I'm a scryer, I'm a liar, I'm a midnight cryer.

 

[oggbashan]

Because the punters expect a woman to do it.

I can dowse for water, and have. But scrying? I don't feel or see anything.

I guess for scry guys, Dumbledore set an excellence benchmark too high.

IDK....I know several guys who do and I've been doing it since I was a kid, but then again I was raised by a witch who comes from a long line of witches.

I don't do it for money or entertainment either....a good portion of the witches I know wont, but some are more than happy to.

You are right though, it's very female dominated...lot of man haters too, might have something to do with it.

A scrying glass is really difficult to replace. A crystal ball is not a suitable substitute.

Old school is on the rebound. Don't cockblock me.

I'm thinking of Merlin. No idea what a scry does.

 

[Hypoxia]

Any iOS or Android apps for scrying? I'm too lazy to scry on my own, despite my propensities. Actually, I tried scrying long ago. It involved amyl nitrate inhalation and kaleidoscope spectacles. I learned a lot.

Biiiig
Giiiirls
Don’t
Scry!

Of course men don’t scry.

Real men divine.

Scapulimancy is pretty manly.

Haruspicy is macho if you turn it into a sausage fest afterwards.
