100 mm Crystal Ball

A lovely crystal ball made from optical glass, giving it amazing clarity. 

Using a crystal ball (also called scrying) is a practice found in many spiritual traditions for gaining insight, intuition, or symbolic guidance.

1. Choose & Cleanse Your Crystal Ball

Most crystal balls are made of optical glass, but they can also be various types of crystals which are obviously more expensive.

Cleanse it before first use:

Smoke cleansing (incense, sage, palo santo)

Moonlight (especially during a full moon)

Sound (singing bowl or bell)

Intention (hold it and visualize white light clearing it)

2. Create the Right Atmosphere

Crystal ball gazing works best in soft, dim lighting.

Ideal setup:

Low light or candlelight (place candles behind you, not behind the ball)

Quiet space

Dark cloth under the ball (black or deep purple helps reduce glare)

Minimal distractions

You want the surface to look slightly misty or reflective — not bright.

3. Enter a Relaxed State

Before gazing:

Take slow, deep breaths

Calm your thoughts

Set an intention (example: “Show me what I need to understand right now.”)

Don’t “try hard” to see something. Scrying works best when you’re relaxed and open.

Gaze Softly (Don’t Stare)

This is key.

Look into the ball, not at the surface.

Let your eyes relax slightly out of focus.

Allow images, symbols, shadows, or impressions to form naturally.

You might experience:

Swirling mist

Flashes of imagery

Colours

Emotional impressions

Sudden intuitive thoughts

Some people see clear symbols; others receive feelings or mental images.

5. Record What You Experience

Keep a journal nearby and write:

Images you saw

Emotions felt

Thoughts that came up

Any symbols or colours

Interpretation often makes more sense later than immediately.

6. Close the Session

When finished:

Thank your crystal ball (optional but traditional)

Take a few grounding breaths

Touch the floor or drink water

Cover the ball with cloth when not in use

Important Note

Crystal ball gazing is a reflective or meditative practice — not a guaranteed way to predict the future. Think of it as:

A tool for intuition

A subconscious mirror

A meditation aid

A symbolic guidance method
