Why scry?

The motivation for learning to scry is a very personal thing and may be hard to put into words, but it's worth giving it some thought before you begin your practice, and periodically while you are learning.  No, it's not helpful to obsess over goals or give in to the dreaded "lust for results."  But in my experience, all magickal pursuits are safer and more effective when you take a moment to carefully and honestly consider your intent.
Here are some of the most common purposes and goals:

View distance people, places or things
Foresee future events, or determine the outcome of some action
Find lost objects
Communicate with spirits, ancestors, or gods
Discover the history of an object or place
Obtain hidden information about a person or event
Enjoy a state of deep relaxation and/or meditation
Aid in magickal workings
Develop or hone psychic abilities
Enhance a bond with a special crystal or other tool
Visit other planets, dimensions, planes, etc.
Access subconscious memories or desires
Explore or enhance nighttime dreams
Achieve contact with your spirit guide, holy guardian angel, or higher self

Surely this is just a partial list of reasons why you might choose to pursue the ancient art of seership.  What other reasons can you think of?
