The History of the Crystal Ball<\/h1>\n

The Crystal Ball<\/strong> is an object that certain psychics<\/strong><\/a> use to gain insight into a person or a situation. It is the centre of focus for the psychic and concentrating upon it can give the psychic revealing insight.<\/p>\n

Each psychic will then take this foundation and interpret and develop the psychic reading according to their personal skills<\/strong> and relay what they see to their client.<\/p>\n

How a Crystal Ball is used<\/h2>\n

The art of looking into a crystal ball is known as scrying<\/a><\/strong>. Scrying is effectively the art of looking into any object, often such as glass<\/strong>, crystals<\/strong> or mirrors<\/strong>, liquid such as water<\/strong> or other substances such as smoke<\/strong>, and seeing images or receiving messages that may come forward during this process.<\/p>\n

To read the crystal ball, the psychic usually enters a relaxed state. This usually involves them freeing themselves of the day to day \u201cbustle of life<\/strong>\u201d<\/em> to become an open channel to receive messages<\/strong>. If you like, this is a kind of meditative state, although experienced psychics can often reach this kind of state in a matter of a few seconds, through regular practice.<\/p>\n

How does a Crystal Ball aid a psychic in a reading?<\/h2>\n

Once they have \u201clocked on<\/strong>\u201d to the initial image they may see, they then become an open channel and can pick up extra feelings, visions, or receive messages that can add to this initial image.<\/p>\n

The client can ask specific questions. Once the images start to form<\/strong>, they will begin to tell the client what they see. Those that are empathic may pick up on some feelings. Those that receive visions may start seeing extra images or video playback entering their minds. They then relay to their client to give the reading.<\/p>\n

The Crystal Ball spans back hundreds of years!<\/h2>\n

Crystal ball reading<\/strong> is not officially a science, but it is a fascinating experience. Historically the use of scrying goes back to ancient times.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Shahnameh<\/strong><\/a>, a historical epic Persian work written in the late 10th century. It gives a description of the\u00a0Cup of Jamshid<\/strong><\/a>, which was a cup of scrying. Before this, the ancient pagans are purported to have used stones and crystals to foretell the future way, way back, as long ago as 600 AD. The\u00a0Crystal Beryl<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0was said to be the stone of preference, with a natural shine and resonance when polished.<\/p>\n

And finally, let us not forget\u00a0Snow White <\/strong><\/a>and the Magic Mirror!\u00a0<\/strong>A\u00a0fairy tale known by many children, where the truth is told by the mirror and good prevails over evil. It is\u00a0not only\u00a0\u201cGypsy Rose Lee<\/strong>\u201d<\/em>\u00a0and the old fashioned fairground attractions that we think of when considering the crystal ball.<\/p>\n
