Using your Crystal Ball

Crystal ball gazing is best done on the night of a Full or New moon. A Crystal Ball that measures 60mm – 100mm in diameter is best to use. Place your Crystal Ball on a stand with a velvet cloth underneath.

What to do:

Preparation

Go inside a darkened and quiet room.

Light two candles so you can see. They also help reflecting images in the crystal ball.

Relaxation

Burn patchouli incense or white sage smudge stick to get you in the mood. You can even play soothing music if that will help.

Center yourself by gazing into the ball, being careful not to stare.

Breathe deeply. Inhale and exhale. Do this for 15 minutes.

Rituals

When performing any form of scrying or divination you are summoning the forces from the spiritual realm. These forces are normally closed off from the plane we live in unless disturbed. And crystal ball gazing and scrying actually disturbs them. Whenever you perform divination, these forces can help you, attack you, or drain you. They can use your crystal ball to step through into this world. This is why it is always best to perform a cleansing ritual and a protection ritual beforehand.

Crystal Ball Work

  1. Place the crystal ball on a stand in front of you.
  2. Sit down and relax.
  3. Lay your hands gently on the ball for 2 minutes to infuse it with your energy.
  4. Reflect on the purpose of this scrying session: visualize your question or say it out loud.
  5. Take your hands off the crystal.
  6. Look deeply into the crystal. Allow your eyes to relax and become unfocused.
  7. When you see smoke forming in the crystal, allow it to occupy the whole ball till you see an image forming.
  8. If you’re new to crystal ball gazing, the images might not make sense to you at first because your mind is still not able to grasp what the images mean, you may not see images at all, or it may not even be related to what you want. But the more you work with a crystal ball, the better you will get at it.

But here are some of the meanings behind certain types of smoke that form:

Blue clouds: success in career or business

Gold clouds: prosperity, steady cash flow, and renewed romance to come

Gray/Dark gray: misfortune

Black clouds: bad stuff coming your way

Green clouds: health and happiness of the heart

Orange clouds: hidden aggression and anger; troubled emotions

Red clouds: approaching danger; caution

Silver clouds: troublesome times ahead; followed by goodness

White clouds: good fortune to come

Yellow clouds: obstacles

9. To close the crystal gazing session, gradually allow the images to slowly fade back into the crystal until it goes back to its original state.

10. Thank your crystal ball and smudge or perform a cleansing spell on it before you put it back in storage. A crystal ball is best stored by wrapping a velvet cloth around it to keep the energies contained.

Taking Care of Your Ball

It’s important to take care of your ball, much like you would a fine, delicate piece of clothing. You should do the following for care and maintenance.

  • Charging: Do this before doing your first reading. Place the ball in front of the full moonlight. Optimally, you should want to do this for several nights. Do not place in sunlight directly, as this will weaken your readings.
  • Storage: Always store your crystal ball in a cloth, and put away in a dark place, where no one else can touch it.
  • Handling: You should be the only person to handle your crystal ball. Why? Because you don’t want your ball to be affected by other people’s energies. When this happens, this causes inaccurate readings.
  • Cleansing: You should also clean your ball before your first reading. You can clean by wafting sage around your ball. You can also clean it with water and mild soap.

Remember, crystal gazing is your unconscious and conscious mind acting together. The more you practice the easier it will be to tap into your unconscious mind. We love hearing your story!
