Does anyone know of any articles about using a crystal ball for divination? I've tried my best, but can't seem to find any. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
A successful scrying session largely depends on the atmosphere and mood that you set.
It is important to never force a reading if your not feeling up-to or in the mood.
This will only result in a false reading .
Crystal ball gazing is best done in a dimly lit room , you can burn incense and light candles ect., play soft music , making sure that you will not be disturbed is also a good idea.
Before you use your ball make sure it is clean and dust/fingerprint free .
You can do this by wiping it with a damp soft cloth , however if your ball is new it is important to cleanse it making sure it’s free from negative energies , there are a few ways of doing this .
1: Smudging
Sage, frankincense, sandalwood, cedar , are all good for this , or use a smudge stick.
Simply pass your ball through the smoke of the incense /smudge stick , let the smoke carry away any unwanted energies until you feel it is cleansed
2:Dry salt
fill a large bowl with sea salt and place your ball in it . burying it for 24 hours .
Remove the ball and wipe clean, DO NOT add water to the salt , this will damage your ball , ONLY use DRY SEA SALT .
3:Sound
Sound vibrations are a quick easy way to cleanse your ball , simply sing/chant whatever inspires you , wind-chimes , gong, bell, are also great to use .
sing/chant or ring your bell close to your ball until it feels cleansed to you .
4; Sun/ moon
place your ball on a window ledge or somewhere safe outside , leave for 24 hours to absorb the energy of the sun/moon
Preparing your space :
Prepare your spiritual space , burn some incense and candles if you wish , do what feels right to you after all this is your space .
Ground and center yourself , this is important then allow your energy to flow outward encircling you and your ball.
Cast a circle , place your ball on its stand or a table at a comfortable height., approx chest height.
Technique
1: Meditate on your purpose ect.
2: Sit crossed legged or in a comfortable position , relax and place your hands on the ball allowing your energy to flow in-to it.
3: Visualize your question or ask it out loud if you prefer .
4: Remove your hands from the ball, stare deeply into the ball allowing your eyes to become unfocused slightly.
5: You will see a mist forming in the ball allow the mist to grow and fill the ball .
6: Visualize the mist clearing allowing the images to flow within the ball .
7: Let the images flow to you taking you wherever they choose.
8: When all the images have been shown affirm what they might mean , but do not concentrate to hard on this as you can do this later by writing down what you saw.
9:Visualize the mist coming back into the ball and covering the images and the ball returning to normal .
10: Thank your ball and place it in-to its bag or protective cloth putting it somewhere safe.
11: Close your circle .
