Crystal Ball Divination
There are many ways/methods of divining. Each one of us must
find our paths, ones that fit our beliefs and personalities.
Where one individual may be weak in one method, another may
be strong, and vice versa. So whether you use the methods
like the I Ching, Tarot Cards, Witch Sticks, or some new versions
of these, are not as important as finding what works best
for you. I have used at least 6 7 methods for divining and
have had very good luck with all of them, but there are two
of them--that I would like to discuss--that are my favourites.
It is my hope that you will try these methods and find them
as rewarding as I do:
The first method that I ever tried and one that still remains
my favourite is Crystal Ball divination. Unfortunately, this
method has been the butt of many jokes in the media--especially
in movies and TV. Therefore, it is somewhat hard for those
of us that were "raised" during the media-era to
take this method seriously.
My first Crystal Ball was made of Acrylic Plastic and was
very small. I got it for free just for subscribing to Fate
Magazine for a year. Now, everyone familiar with the occult
knows that plastics have no place in magic and that the smaller
the crystal ball, the less the reaction. Yet, despite this,
I have never since had such a strong reaction as I did with
my original crystal ball. Many crystal balls for sale today
are made of glass, quartz crystal, obsidian, leaded crystal--glass,
or from many other powerfully developed or natural materials.
So I believe that the way you use the sphere is more important
than what material it is made of.
To use a crystal ball, begin by preparing a stand for it.
Many stands sold today are truly works of art and are wonderful
for displaying your crystal ball. Unfortunately, working crystal
balls are not usually displayed as works of art. Instead they
are wrapped in a dark, natural cloth--silk is best but cotton,
wool or linen is acceptable. The wrapped ball and its stand
should both be put in a box or other container that is light
proof. You do not want sunlight to fall on your crystal ball
because it is blessed by the moon and operates under moon-power.
And this is why you should only use the orb after the sun
has set.
The crystal ball's stand should be rather plain and it should
be black. If it is another colour, then paint it black. Consecrate
your crystal ball before using it: On the night of a full
moon, dissolve a little mugwort herb in some pure water. Wash
the ball in this solution and dry it with a clean cloth. Take
it outside, where you can see the moon, even if it is only
a glow from behind the clouds. Make sure that you can see
the moon or its glow inside the ball itself. Hold up the ball
and recite:
"SELENE of the sacred
night; bless this crystal with your holy light."
When you have finished consecrating
it, wrap the ball in a dark, natural-material cloth and place
it where sunlight will not touch it. The ball will not be
affected by candle light or artificial lights. And if it is
exposed to sunlight, just re-consecrate it--as above.
You may use the crystal ball at night, any time during a moon-cycle.
Take it out of its hiding place, unwrap it, place the stand
on a table in front of you (facing North or South is best).
Place the globe on its stand. Take a large handful of rock
salt and sprinkle and arrange a circle of the salt around
the ball and its stand.
Relax. Do not force yourself or try too hard. Just stare into
the crystal ball and let it take over. If nothing happens
after 10-20 minutes, or when you are tired of looking, stop
staring at it and put the ball and its stand away. Try again
the next day. Everyone differs in their reaction to the ball
and its response to them will be different also. Some of us
may have to practice a little every night--even for a month,
others may get a reaction the first time they try.
The first behaviour you should expect to see is that the inside
of the crystal ball should begin to form a mist or cloud-up.
When the ball is completely filled with white mist, the reflections
from any of the room's light sources will disappear. Secondly,
you will begin to see scenes or symbols. When this happens,
make certain that after the session that you record everything
you saw in a notebook. Review of this notebook later may give
you some insight into the information you gained. This will
also allow you to keep a record of your progress. Once you
become more proficient in crystal-looking, the scenes may
actually leave the ball and may even fill the entire room
with symbols and/or pictures. I have even had to turn and
look at parts of scenes that wrapped around the room so I
could see what was beside and behind me. Of course, looking
behind you does take your eyes off the crystal--but it doesn't
seem to matter! End the session whenever you feel tired or
when the scenes stop appearing. Remember to maintain a relaxed
attitude throughout the process.
You can control the subject matter of what you see by writing
a question on paper and placing it beneath the ball stand
during a session. It is unlikely that your question will be
answered directly. It is more likely that it will be answered
with visual symbols or you may just be shown how to obtain
the answer. For example, I once needed some knowledge that
had been hidden from me and there did not seem to be any way
to obtain this information. I wrote my question on paper and
placed it under the ball-stand. During the crystal vision,
I saw a specific green book, on gardening, in the library.
Although this book had nothing to do with the questions I
had asked, I went to the library anyway. Without any trouble
at all, I quickly found the book that I had seen in the vision.
I opened the book and flipped through its pages. A paper that
someone had used as a bookmark fell out of the book. On the
paper the person who had last used the book had written exactly
the information that I needed. It is an understatement to
say that I was very impressed with the accuracy and method
of obtaining this answer.
Scoffers have many negative thoughts of how crystal balls
divination really "works." Some say that looking
or concentrating on one spot causes a hypnotic reaction that
allows one to see visions. And I have noticed that a relaxed
but concentrated stare into the ball does make it work better.
But the first time the mist filled my ball, and the reflections
in it disappeared, I was so astonished that I got up and ran
around to the other side of the table to see if the reflections
over there were also gone (they were). If I was in a hypnotic
trance, why didn't my excited movement end the trance? And
why, during a directed-question divination, do the scenes,
symbols, etc., automatically stop when your question has been
answered? Does a hypnotic trance set its own time limit? I
certainly do not know all the answers but I suspect that much
more than a hypnotic trance is going on when a crystal ball
is working for you.
The second of my favourite methods is one that is not as well
known as crystal ball gazing nor is it used often. I call
these devices “Continuum Holes”. A Continuum Hole
is made from a natural rock such as a "holey stone"
or some other rock/stone with a hole through it--whether is
natural or not. My first Continuum Hole was a blue Brazilian
agate-slice with a naturally occurring opening in the centre.
I built and painted a black stand for it. The stand allows
the agate slice to stand upright and to be turned back and
forth, much like a small mirror on a stand--whose reflection
can slanted up and down.
Using such an apparatus will be a treat to those of the TV
generation. The method works like this: You attempt to focus
on the non-existent surface of the whole. Because this surface
does not exist (at least in the beginning), this is impossible
to do because your eyes have no real object to focus on. Therefore,
your eyes will begin to focus between two real objects, the
edge of the hole and whatever is in the distance. This will
cause the focal point of your eyes to flip between the two
surfaces at varying distances. To get the Continuum Hole to
work, you should not fight this process. Just relax and let
it happen. Soon, your eyes will be flipping their focus back
and forth at a very high rate. Suddenly, you will be able
to focus right in the hole itself because it will appear to
have raster--just like a TV screen! (For those of you unfamiliar
with this term, raster is the snowy "static" you
get on a TV screen, when it is turned off-channel that proves
it is working. Therefore, as impossible as it may sound, you
will now have a surface, within the hole itself, to look at.
I do not think that this hole’s surface exists in normal
reality. It seems that the surface is actually a window into
another part of the universe or another plane of existence.
I have found that, for me, using the Continuum Hole becomes
a look into things that are deeper or vaster in scope than
what I see in a crystal ball and I get little response to
specific questions. Instead, I get a general view of more
important future trends--things that will not only affect
me, but the world, and the universe in general. In fact, that
is why I call the device a Continuum Hole, because I seem
to be looking into the stream of the space-time continuum.
This is an instrument that you may use to look into the future
and see floods, earthquakes, and comets. It will also show
you major changes in your life that may be related to major
happenings such as deaths, hiring, firings, births, and conceptions.
For those of you that prefer older-type names, this device
may be called a “Holey Speculum”.
One important thing to remember is that all divination processes
show trends rather than absolutes. You can change the future
by changing your actions and influencing those around you.
This flies in the face of Christian beliefs that postulate
only those prophecies in the Bible are correct--and that what
they state will come to pass--no matter what. If such predestination
was true, then your whole life would already have been planned
and there would be nothing that you could do to change it.
In fact, it would useless to even try. If the future is not
changeable, then no one needs to take any responsibility for
his or her actions. I believe that I was created with free
will, that I can change the shadows of the future by my actions
in the present, and that I am responsible for both my failings
and my victories.
NOTE: The process for crystal
ball divination will work also with black scrying mirrors.
