Re: study recomendations

In addition to the five books our host linked to, I recommend Theodore Besterman's Crystal Gazing (1924), downloadable at
https://archive.org/details/besterman-1924-crystal-gazing

Ada Goodrich-Freer, writing as "Miss X," published several good essays on scrying, some of which were reprinted in her Essays in Psychical Research (1899). See especially chapters III and V there. One can download that book of hers at
http://iapsop.com/ssoc/1899__goodrich-freer___essays_in_psychical_research.pdf

She also contributed (anonymously) a paper, "Recent Experiments in Crystal Vision," to volume V (1889) of the Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research, as well as several shorter pieces to the four volumes of the short-lived periodical, Borderland.

You can find volume V of the Proceedings at

and all the volumes of Borderland at
