My Crystals

A while back I decided that one of the skills I want to develop is the ability to scry with Crystals. Crystalomancy is a very, very old practice. I would have to put it up there as one of the most famous forms of divination. The method that I am using deals with alot of keys. Keys are things you do, or items you use to "get you in the mood." In this case, getting in the mood is technically preparing your mind to get in touch with your higher self, or to travel in the astral plane. So, depending on the crystal, I like to play some mood music, Enya, what havya, lay down a cloth on the table, light a candle, which I postion behind the crystal to illuminate it. The placement can be important because I don't want the candle shining in my eyes. Then I burn some incense. Nag Champa or Super Hit, because I love them! I put the crystal up on a stand and gaze into it. I usually focus and unfocus my eyes travelling inside the crystal. I may see colors, images, what have you. I haven't done much of this, but will! Here is one of my Crystals:

I don't remember the exact particulars on this one, but it is heavy! This is a natural rose quartz. Crystal balls, which I prefer for gazing, are not naturally formed this way of course. Crystals grow in different ways, but very commonly in columns like you would see in a cave. Or, they can grow as strems of crystal sandwiched in stone. Then the cutter will break out a section and start rounding the ball until it is smooth and as perfectly round as possible. I get most of my crystals from China. They take as long as 10 weeks to get here by boat.

Spiritual and Healing Properties of Rose Quartz: Pink quartz (rose quartz) allows you to be in touch with your basic self. It will allow you to get to know your true self and to love that true self in all its beauty. It can also allow you to communicate internally with your spirit guides, which means you may or may not be aware of them but they are teaching you all the same.
Rose Quartz is a good stone for someone who has trouble loving themself or accepting love from another because they do not believe that they are worthy of being loved. It loves soft running river water to clean and recharge and moonlight forum post from whitehorse woman

I don't envision using non-translucent crystals much for scrying, as I love to be able to see into the crystal. But I do love this particular stone!
