CRYSTAL GAZING

What is Crystal Gazing (Scrying)?

Crystal gazing (scrying) is a traditional European form of divination in which one gazes intently into a crystal ball, mirror, or other transparent or reflective surface and reads the answer from images and impressions that appear there.

Origins & History

Crystal gazing is a traditional European practice of gazing intently into a transparent or reflective surface, such as a crystal ball or mirror, and reading the images and impressions said to appear there. A related technique using a mirror is known as "mirror gazing," but this service treats it as a variant of crystal gazing.

How It Works

  1. 01Decide on a single question you want to ask.
  2. 02Calm your mind and gaze intently at the object standing in for a crystal ball or mirror.
  3. 03Receive a single symbolic image that comes to mind.
  4. 04Read the meaning of that image alongside the question.

What It Reveals

This is well suited to facing formless questions, such as life direction or the course of a romance, through symbolic images. Because it has no fixed rule set like a die roll or hexagram, it is not a form of divination that explains its answers in detail, but rather a tool for gaining an intuitive sense of insight.
