It is said that everyone of us is physic but very few of us every touch what we are capable of. With patience and practice each one of us is capable of developing their psychic sight. Like Tarot cards, crystal gazing is an art which can take years to learn and even longer to master.
The word Crystal comes from the Greek and means 'frozen water' or 'clear ice'. It isn't important if it's real quartz or glass. Scrying is an ancient form of divination, dating back thousands of years.

Crystal Ball Gazing
Crystal ball gazing is Scrying, a way of divining the future through imagery. It takes time to reach what is within us and find a way to manifest it to reality in front of us.
WARNING - never put your crystal ball in or near direct sunlight as it will magnify the rays and possibly cause a fire.
Dim the lighting first, have only one candle lit behind the crystal and some sandalwood or wormwood incense burning.
Also consider burning Incense and/or meditation music may be played, anything that will induce a state of relaxed or altered awareness, achieving a mental state in which one is receptive to visions.
Before you begin sit in a comfortable position and breathe deeply to the count of four, then hold the breath until the count of four and finally release to the count of four. Repeat this until you feel your body has relaxed enough to give your full concentration to the crystal.
Try to clear your mind of all thoughts unless you have a specific question to ask, then concentrate on that. Your thoughts must be either free or focused depending on the session.
Begin to stare into the ball in a meditative state, relax your eyes, do not focus directly, remain "out of focus"
You may see a mist and within the mist images or colours may drift in your minds eye. Images are usually symbolic, colours can be hazy. Both images and colours have their own meanings. .

If any images appear to you in the ball, study them. As the images are symbolic like dreams interpretation is very similar to that of dreams so research them using a good dream guide.
If you see colours then interpret them using this as a guide -
White: Encouragement
Red: Perseverance, Survival, Power, Liberation
Orange: Strength, warmth, positivity, freedom
Brown: Earth, moderation, solidness, grounding
Yellow: Expanding, confidence, justice, tolerance
Gold: Future, wisdom, triumph, money
Green: Relationships
Blue: Spiritual, thinking, contemplation
Purple: PurificationBlack: New Beginnings.
Crystal balls should be cleared and charged when you first get them, and periodically thereafter.
Crystal balls do tend to collect dust and therefore will need to be cleaned from time to time. If your crystal ball is made of a different material it may react to some of the methods, so be sure to do your research.
Do yourself a favor and do not use any kind of detergent to clean it, not even one claiming to be natural or organic as this can leave a residue or film on your crystal ball.
It is best to use purified, distilled, or spring water and then dry it with a soft, clean towel.
Crystal bath.
You can soak them in either salt water (use sea salt if possible) or water with an essential oil added. Soak your crystal ball in the bath overnight, then pat dry in the morning. If you prefer you can allow it to dry outside in the sun, provided it is not too cold outside. Be careful not to use too much salt, as it can scratch the delicate surface of your crystal ball.
If using essential oil, select something that is either purifying (such as lemon) or is energetically in tune with your intended purpose. When your crystals are “done” pour off the water, being careful not to touch the water as it contains the negative energy it has just cleansed.
- Smudging. Pass your crystal ball through the smoke, or pass the smudge over your ball.
Incense. Use the same way as smudging. You can choose a purification incense (such as lavender or lemon) or something suited to your current intentions.
You can also use these methods to cleanse and charge your other crystals, but keep in mind these recommendations are intended predominantly for quartz and/or glass Scrying balls.
Charging your crystal ball:
There are various methods for charging your crystal ball but its a very important step. It increases its connection to the psychic world strengthening its magnetic abilities to draw images. The most popular method is to set it where it will soak up moon rays. Do this during any New Moon. It will be even more powerful if charged during an eclipse or other rare astronomical event.
- in a bowl of natural water under the full (or some say new) moon.
- during a particular moon phase (waxing moon is drawing and increase, waning moon is banishing or releasing, full moon for abundance and completion, new moon for meditation)
- outside for 24 hours, starting at day break, allowing it to absorb both the sunlight and the moonlight. Note: avoid direct sunlight.
- outside during an eclipse, or other astrological event.
- near a pyramid, especially one of precious metal or natural crystal.
- in the reflected light of Austrian crystals.
- on a quartz cluster.
- in sunlight. Note: avoid direct sunlight.
- the smoke of wormwood.
The art of gazing (Scrying) is called Catoptromancy, a term that refers to the use of reflective surfaces for the purposes of divination. Scrying using magical mirrors date back hundreds of years, seers and old wise women used mirrors for visions and insight into the future. Legend says that the Goddess Hecate created the first mirror.
Crystal ball gazing can be used to make contact with spirit guides, to access knowledge for healing and self-improvement, or to define the past, predict the present, and perceive the future. As a portal into other realms, it can also be used to aid astral travel, and during ritual to communicate with deity.
The art of cystal ball gazing is interpreting what you see in the images and colours as they take form. This in a way it is a little like dream interpretation, and initially you may wish to consult one of the many books on the subject to help define the images you see. At the end of the day however, the real interpretation will be what those images mean to you personally.
The more you practice, the more familiar the images and their meanings will become, but you may need to meditate on them for awhile to reveal any hidden meanings. with time and patience become a font of wisdom and knowledge.
