Scrying: Using a Crystal Ball
By Lady Wolfen Mists © 1991

Why use quartz crystal in scrying:

There are many ways to read or scry into a crystal. One of the most successful ways, I have found, is through the use of a quartz crystal ball. Yet it should be noted that there are those who report great success with crystal points also, but this does take much practice and a very focused and powerful technique, and I do not recommend this method for beginners. The reason most people chose to use quartz crystal is because of its wonderful vibratory rate, it resonates in harmony with all that is around it, raising or lowering its own levels to that which is needed to be in harmony with the psychic energies around it. It then acts as a focus to those energies, and aids in sending those energies to you (the receiver), at levels to which your psychic energies can absorb and understand. Since it is able to change both your and it's vibratory rate, either higher or lower as the case may be, it reaches a harmony between the two that is often difficult, if not impossible to attain without the crystals help and intervention. This interdependence and interconnectedness that is established between the two make for a deep harmonious psychic link. This allows both time and space to interface as one. Thus, all information that may not be available to you now, without this link, need now only to be asked sought out, and it is yours.

Why the sphere shape?

The sphere or ball shape has been used for many centuries for several different reasons. One of the main reasons is that the shape itself, lends the energies to constant movement and re-energizing. The sphere does not allow the focused energies that flow through the ball, to sit idol or to lose themselves in points or "dead spaces." With the ball or sphere shape there must be constant movement and a harmonious flow to the energies contained therein. This factor makes the energies easier to pick up on, to read and to interpret (with experience of course) more preciously and clearly.

Another popular reason for the shape is that the sphere or ball is equal to the shape of the world. The world is equated with being the manifested center of creative impulses from which we can draw our psychic powers and energies. The sphere has no beginning and no ending, just a continuous flow of energy on an ever renewing cycle, moving on and on into infinity. This can be likened to the evolution of the spirit & soul and the quest for becoming one with the essence of the self and Higher Self. What a wonderful thought!

HOW TO USE A CRYSTAL BALL,
Steps to Reading/Scrying with a Crystal Ball

Just a quick note, a crystal ball is a sacred tool and should be treated as one. It should be used by only one person and be placed in a special place of honor when not in use. It should have a name, it will usually tell you this as you work with it, and it should be called by that name. It should have limited handling by other people, and should be carried in a special bag or box when transported from one place to another. It should also be cleansed regularly. I like to do mine on the full moon, not only cause that's when the moon is at its peak of power, but cause its easy to remember when I last cleaned it completely. With all that said here we go:

  1. Choose your crystal ball that you intend to use; be sure to cleanse it first.
  2. In a darkened room, sit quietly with the crystal in front of you. Allow for a low light source, so that the crystal is somewhat 'back lit" yet the rest of the room should remain dark. A candle works well be sure to follow safety rules when working with an open burning flame. The color of the candle should be something that reflects Higher Purpose like Purple for Higher self, White for God/dess and Soul purity or orange for attraction (but be sure you say aloud that you wish to only attract positive energies or you could get any energy just floating by, I caution you on using orange if you are only beginning)
  3. Next close your eyes, concentrate and ground yourself. Allow your third eye to activate and open. The use of Lemuria Oil TM is recommended here as it clears misaligned energies and protects the user (you) from negative energies trying to control the session and such. (You can get Lemuria Oil TM exclusive from Silver Hoofs Inc.) Place a dab on the 3rd eye area, located between your eyes and up just a smig. Now be sure to set up a deep breathing pattern at your own rhythm. Allowing all the stress and negative energies to flow completely out of your body as you exhale, and positive energies to enter as you inhale. "See" those positive energies replacing the exhaled negative energies, visualize all the positive energies completely centering your body and your intuition and focus becoming the central points of your thoughts.
  4. Now open your eyes, and pick a spot on the ball you feel "drawn" to. Focus on the spot and allow your eyes to fixate (like when your eyes get stuck looking at something but your mind (subconscious) is elsewhere) gazes past that spot. The crystal may begin to darken and smoke up. Allow this to happen, don't snap back to a conscious state, if you can help it. Don't worry if you do, fact is most of us do the first couple of times cause we are so excited its working. Snapping back to the conscious state makes you leave the trance like state and thus breaks the psychic connection. If this happens just re-enter the trance like state once more as best you can. Allow the ball to darken and smoke without breaking your trance like state. DO NOT TRY TO MAKE SENSE OF THE IMAGES YOU "SEE, FEEL OR HEAR" BEFORE YOU! Just go with the flow!
  5. You may feel yourself start to tingle or vibrate, you may feel heat, cold or just detached from yourself. This is the crystal raising or lowering your vibratory level so that you may both be one in harmony and make the needed psychic connection.
  6. Next you will begin to speak (a voice activated recorder is nice at this point) or write about what you see. You have entered the Astral plane at this point and may have some memory recall problems when you break the trance like state. This may occur until you have training and can work on both the Astral and physical plane at the same time, and not to lie to you, this could take years of concentration, practice, and many sessions! So don't give up and I advise using a tape recorder as it doesn't interfere with your focus, concentration, or gazing/scrying.
  7. Finally when you feel you have seen enough, or the crystals images fade out, allow your mind to return to the present (physical plane). Feel your vibratory rate change once again as the crystal separates from one to two separate beings again. Refocus your eyes; blink as you need and breathe deeply, as you ground yourself once more. Finally returning to the physical plane, with your mind cleared and energized. In Grounding yourself ,a drink of water/juice and a snack can help, as you pull the earth's energies up into your body once more.

Remember it takes practice so don’t be upset if it doesn't work right away.
Take your time, allow the crystal and your energies to match, it will work!



Cleanse a crystal ball with natural waters, and charge it in the glow of a full moon. Crystal scrying should be done in near or total darkness, and works best at night. Avoid looking at the reflections on the surface of the crystal. Use the light of a candle, but make sure it does not reflect in the ball’s surface. Focus your gaze on the center, looking through the crystal. See it as a mirror to the astral world. You may see clouds or mist. With patience, eventually the mist will spread out to reveal images, visions or symbols.



USING YOUR CRYSTAL BALL

Firstly make yourself very comfortable, it could be a long process! It is best to be in a dark room with a few candles lit in the background, try not to have them too near as they will reflect onto the crystal ball & interfere with your sight. It is also an idea to have a pen & some paper to hand in case you want to take notes.

Once everything is set up, take a good long look into your crystal ball, every ball is different, & the visuals will change for each person, mine has rainbow glades in it that make me feel I’m being carried into the ball.

Don’t try gazing too hard you only want to lift the veil gently especially on your first attempt. It may take several attempts to get a vision.....but keep persevering at it, the more you use your ball, the more you will be inviting visions.

The other thing to remember is, that when the veil is lifted to you, the vision may not make sense, that is another good reason for making notes & as mentioned, the more you use it, the clearer things will become.
THE VEIL WILL LIFT ONLY TO LET YOU SEE WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.



WHAT CRYSTALS DO:

Quartz crystals are a gift from the earth. They have the ability to amplify or strengthen the things in you that are positive, and can help you put away things that cause you fear or anger. They can strengthen your ability to be a loving person, and can enhance your abilities to enjoy life and accomplish the things you want in life. They can amplify INTENTION, reduce stress, help with CENTERING (balancing or calming), strengthen HEALING abilities, and surround you with PROTECTION by amplifying white light. Any healthy quartz crystal point can strengthen these things and help produce personal growth by amplifying the subtle energies that flow inside you.

Programming Crystals

The only crystal that can be programmed is Quartz. First make sure your crystal is cleansed. Sit in a quiet place and still your mind. Think clearly about what thought you want the crystal to hold, take a deep breath, holding the crystal in your left hand, blow your intention onto the crystal. This is a very powerful way to program the crystal. You can program a crystal to help you do most things. Try and use different crystals for separate things. Use one for healing, one for information storage, one for music, etc.

Charging Crystals

Crystals need to be charged up, somewhat like a car battery. The way to do this is very similar to cleansing. Again in the sun, under the moon, any holy place, by a stream or river. Leave as long as you feel is right. Don't leave them in draws or dark places they like to be out in the open to work to their full potential.

Choosing, Cleansing, Clearing And Programming

All crystals need to be treated with respect and love. If they are used as a tool, do so with humility and gratitude. In choosing a crystal, it is necessary to find one that vibrates in harmony with the self and with the specific purpose for which you are bringing it into your life. Like attracts like. Each human and each crystal has its own vibration.

In front of you is a tray of crystals - quartz and others. Look at them. Feel them. There are a number of ways to know which is right for you.

Now you have your quartz crystal what do you do with it?
It now needs to have the outside cleansed. The best way to do this is with luke warm soapy water. This cleans the outside of the vibrations of its travels from the miner to the buyer to the importer, to the wholesaler etc. It also needs cleaning when it is dirty, dusty or has body oil on it from your handling. Just as you need a shower or bath on a regular basis, so do your crystals. Many also like to bathe in the light of the moon. My preference is the moon rather than the sun. All your crystals like to be cleaned, be they quartz or gemstones. I do not clean my crystals in salt of any kind as many books recommend. Salt is crystalline. If you look at your crystals, you may see very minute cracks. If a piece of salt goes into that crack and stays there, it could crack the crystal.

Quartz crystals store vibrations that come from sound, light, touch, emotions, other bodies, physical environment and affects those coming in contact with the crystal. Thus, they need to be cleared before working with them and after they have been used; when it appears to lack vitality or looks dull; and to neutralize internal programs. Please remember that they are an energy storage device. To clear, you will hold the quartz in your hands and pulse with the mental intent to clear. Crystals are also programmed with the use of the pulse breath. Both the clearing and programming are done with quartz crystals only as the colored stones have their own innate programs. When humans and quartz crystals work together, the crystal becomes a very sensitive and precise tool. They accumulate the intentions/programs of the user; magnify and amplify them; focus them and feed them back to the environment. When we program, the crystal is keyed to our personal vibration and thus it becomes an extension of self. The storage of programs in a crystal is similar to the storing of data on a computer chip.
