Hi Tonijo,
Not sure if this will help much, but I was told my Grandmother used to read tea leaves (a more common form of scrying).
When my auntie asked what she was doing (she was young at the time), my Grandmother would just tell her, don't concern yourself with it.
There's a history of witchcraft and whatnot in my family, however probably nothing as flattering as what they offer on Charmed!
