Me: Our devices screen are similar to black mirrors. Black mirrors are also scrying mirrors. Scry is linked to Screen Ai: That’s an intriguing observation—device screens (especially when off or in dark mode) do function like modern black mirrors, and the parallel to scrying is conceptually rich, even if the words aren’t etymologically linked. etymonline. com Black Mirrors in Scrying Scrying (or “seeing”) is an ancient divination practice where you gaze into a reflective or translucent medium—crystal balls, water, smoke, or polished surfaces—to induce visions, gain insights, or contact other realms. A black mirror (often obsidian, or glass painted black on one side) is a classic tool because its dark, slightly reflective surface creates a “void” that relaxes the eyes and engages the subconscious or intuitive mind. en.wikipedia. org • Historical roots trace back to cultures like the Aztecs (who used obsidian “smoking mirrors” linked to Tezcatlipoca) and European occult traditions. collegeofpsychicstudies. co. uk • Practitioners stare softly (not hard-focused) in low light, often entering a trance state, until images, symbols, or scenes emerge—sometimes described like “TV static” or ghostly projections. Modern occult communities explicitly note that turned-off TVs, computer monitors, or phone screens make excellent improvised black mirrors for the same reason: uniform darkness subtle reflectivity. forum.becomealivinggod. com Screens as “Black Mirrors” Your point lands well here. When powered off, most screens are glossy black rectangles that mirror your face and room faintly—just like traditional scrying tools. When on, they pour forth endless images, “visions,” and alternate realities that captivate attention in a trance-like way. Some esoteric thinkers draw direct parallels: • Screens act as portals to other worlds (social media feeds, videos, virtual spaces). • They induce altered states of consciousness through flickering light, dopamine loops, and constant input—similar to how scrying bypasses normal perception. academia. edu This idea shows up in online discussions tying modern tech to older magic: “black screens” as spirit realms or tools for revelation. reddit. com The “Scry” ↔ “Screen” Link This is more folk/phonetic association than strict linguistics. • Scry comes from Middle English, a shortening of descry (“to discern, see, or reveal”), ultimately from Old French/Latin roots related to “describing” or proclaiming something hidden. It’s about perceiving visions. etymonline. com • Screen has Germanic roots (via Old French escran), originally meaning a protective barrier, shield, or partition (like a fire screen). Later it evolved to mean surfaces for projecting images (e.g., magic lanterns, movies). etymonline. com No shared root—it’s a cool coincidence in sound and function. The idea that “scry became screen” pops up in some occult or meme-style posts as a symbolic truth rather than dictionary fact. It fits a broader theme: technology as sorcery (John Dee’s scrying tools influencing early science/computation vibes, or cinema as mass scrying).
