What do you guys think about man made stones? I have 3 acorn sized spheres, tigers eye, oplite, and goldstone. I was hoping to get some opinions as to if they were sutable for scrying. Thanks!

Hi,

For scrying anything will work, synthetic, man made or natural. But with the natural crystals there is a input from the crystal itself. Many people scry with a mirror or water and candle wax, or tea leaves, or oil and water, lots of ways, so, try your acorns and let us know

Crystallomancy is a form of scrying divination that utilizes crystals (most commonly those shaped into spheres [i.e. crystal balls]).

Scry into a crystal ball takes patience and practice.  One needs to form a relationship with his or her crystal ball before any meaningful images appear.  One should always treat the crystal ball with respect as it is a powerful divinatory tool.

It is best not to use the crystal if your energy is not clear.  One should always intend the reading to be for the highest good of all beings, with the love and light of the universe.

To begin scrying, place your light source (preferably a candle) off to the side (so that the light
does not interfere with the image you see when you scry) and gaze into your ball. The crystal may begin to go out of focus as you stare into it, then after a time, images may begin to appear within the sphere.

Most commonly, one will observe symbolic images, although as one becomes more advanced, the images may become more literal.  Symbolic visions should always be interpreted according to one's current life situation.

It is best to keep a scrying journal so that you are able to track your skills as a crystallomancer.  It also aids in tracking a more complete interpretation of the images you obtain while gazing.

Hi Gem,

I have several cyrstal balls and I love them. One is made like yours is of Austrailian Crystal, and it is very heavy at almost 35 pounds! I have a smaller one that is crystal quartz, one made out of rose quartz, and one out of rainbow obsidian. I also have a rainbow obsidian scrying mirror. I have found over time that you can really scry using about anything. I use candles flames, water in a black bowl with a small crystal at the bottom so your eyes can rest and well there are just so many ways. I like my crystal balls though. I really like my obsidian mirror too, but I have also found it is easier to scry in the balls you and I have if I place a square of black silk material behind the ball. I then take a small voltive and place it where it cannot reflect on the ball. I've seen all kinds of things. The first thing I feel is important though before you use anything to scry with is to cleanse it. I use mugwort and benzoin resin to clean the balls and then rinse it with pure rose water to put loving vibrations in to the ball. I kick out any unwelcomes and then I keep my ball covered. I never let anyone els gaze into my ball/balls. Thank you for making this forum!

Gentle Hugs,

Julie
