Psychometry is one of many forms of scrying – or, in non-psychic terms, a way of seeing something that cannot typically be seen. Psychometry relies on touch and tangible, physical objects.

Psychometry is reading the energy of a physical object. The reading you will usually get will have to do with the object’s history. It might be:

• images
• smells
• emotions
• sounds
• any of the other senses associated with memories and feeling

The object will have its own history and will also give you an idea of the history of its owner.
