The Secrets Behind Crystal Balls

The art of scrying has been around for thousands of years and is a well-known method of fortune telling. We find out how it works

The stereotypical image of scrying has long since been of elderly fortune tellers leant over a crystal ball, providing guidance. While crystal balls are indeed the most common form of this ancient art, there is much more to scrying than meets the eye. 

Using a crystal ball and its internal images to provide guidance into events is known as crystallomancy, and can also apply to gazing into reflective surfaces, such as mirrors and water. Its many different forms were first recorded in Ancient Egypt, when priests and priestesses of the great temples, as well as ordinary people at home, scryed in the oil which filled lamps or large barrels.

No special powers are needed to begin scrying but you’ll need to have good observation skills and the ability to interpret your inner language, which could take a little longer to develop. “Any crystal can be used for trance meditation,” ...<<<Read More>>>...

How To Use A Crystal Ball

 It’s the stereotypical image of a fortune teller – a woman in a headscarf, waving her hands over a crystal ball and conjuring up images of that elusive tall, dark, handsome stranger – but a crystal ball is still to this day a very useful tool to have in your psychic box. Crystal ball gazing is accessible to everyone, and although difficult at first, it’s definitely something which improves with practice.

If you’re new to crystal ball gazing or learning how to scry, the images probably won’t make sense at first or you might not see images at all.  Don’t let this frustrate you. Crystal ball gazing takes time and practice to perfect.  The more you practice on using your crystal ball, the better you will get.

When you are ready, hold the crystal ball for just a moment, and relax. If you have a specific question in mind, ask it in your mind now, or just ask for you to be shown whatever will be helpful to you at this time.

Then place the ball onto its stand, or onto a dark cushion or cloth. And gaze. Literally.

You need to stare at the ball intently. Try not to blink or to look away. Hold your gaze. It doesn’t matter (in fact it might even help) if your eyes become unfocused. If you’re good at the Magic Eye pictures, you’ll be great at crystal gazing! It may take some time, but eventually you should start to see a mist form in or over the crystal ball. At this point, don’t break your concentration – the mist should clear quickly.

After the mist, you will start to see images. Remember – these images are in your mind, not in the ball itself. You may feel as though they are in the ball, and don’t break your gaze, but what you’re really seeing is in your third eye.

Don’t try to interpret the images you see as they come along, or you will break the concentration. Just let the images come and go. When the session is over, trust that you will remember the most important ones.

After a moment or two, the images will start to fade; the mist may return or you might just get nothing. At this point, you can finally relax your gaze. Look away and readjust your eyes. Then as quickly as you feel able, write down the images which came to mind, to be interpreted later. Get up, move around, turn on the lights....<<<Read More>>>...
