Exactly! Tarot/Cabala pathworking is one flavor of the kind of scrying that JMG teaches. Again, to be clear, it's not "my" technique, it's JMG's :)

As for the mirror/bowl of water, that's one of those other things called "scrying" (W.E. Butler in How to Read the Aura and Practice Psychometry, Telepathy, and Clairvoyance gives a technique using a "black mirror" (a piece of convex glass painted black on the back). From what I can tell, some people have an easier time seeing things astrally (visualizing) with their eyes open, looking at a suggestive surface of some kind (mirror, crystal ball, bowl of water, etc), whereas others do better closing their eyes. The end result seems to be "learn to perceive things astrally" either way, so experimentation might be in order.

I made a black mirror but haven't had much chance to practice with it, being up to my eyeballs with exercises to do already with DMH, The Dolmen Arch, and The Modern Order of Essenes!
