Crystallomancy: The Divination Power of Stones and Crystals

Have you ever stopped to think if the movie scenes where a psychic sees the character’s future reflected in a crystal ball is real or not? Well, we are here to tell you that yes, it is possible to predict trends that are about to happen through scrying.

Leaving aside the entire cinematic scenario, scrying is a serious technique of scrying the future through the use of crystals and/or games with stones. Popularized by Gypsies, this divination art is also well known among Wiccan practitioners for a philosophical purpose.

To learn more about what scrying is and how it is practiced, I stopped by. In addition, you learn more about the use of the famous crystal ball.

What is crystallomancy?

Considered as a powerful oracle, crystallomancy refers to the art of clairvoyance, in which crystals are used to predict the future. In this way, the specialist interprets the images reflected on the surface of the stones or, better known, the crystal ball.

But your future doesn’t appear cast in stone as if by magic. In fact, it is necessary to channel the energies of the crystal and connect with the spiritual plane so that the answers are projected in the crystals.

In addition, a lot of study and dedication are necessary so that the reading of the future is as faithful as possible. In fact, scrying does not only work with forecasts of future trends, but also with past and present experiences to assist in decision making.

Despite being well known in gypsy tents, the origin of the divinatory art of scrying dates back to ancient Egypt. At the time, in moments of doubt, priests predicted the future through crystal spheres. However, the crystal ball only became known in the 16th century when the English occultist and astrologer John Dee began using the object to predict events to Queen Elizabeth I.

After that, the application of tools made of natural minerals became very popular all over the world, such as crystals and semi-precious stones. However, the darling in the world of scrying is and always will be the crystal ball, which is nothing more than a transparent crystal sphere of quartz, aquamarine, chrysoberyl (known as tiger’s eye) or obsidian.

Crystal ball in scrying

As already mentioned, it is possible to practice scrying through games of small stones to predict the future. But the crystal ball remains the most popular instrument of the divinatory arts, just as the tarot is for fortune-telling.

So, to take advantage of the power of your crystal ball, you need to follow some tips to boost the energy of the sphere. First of all, you should wash it under running water (the best would be from a natural source like river, waterfall, sea or rain) and wrap it in a white, black or yellow cloth.

Be careful not to leave your crystal ball exposed to sunlight, as it is believed that the sun can impair the projection of the sensitive mind. So bet on moonlight to energize the crystal.

So, on a Full Moon night, take the wrapped sphere outside, uncover it and, with both hands, lift it towards the moon. Don’t forget to mentalize your intention and channel the energy vibrations.
