Crystal Scrying

What Is Crystal Scrying and How Does It Work

Crystal Scrying: Also known as crystallomancy, it is the practice of gazing into a crystal to receive spiritual visions or intuitive messages. The reflective properties of certain crystals are believed to help focus the mind and open the psychic channels to receive information.

Crystal scrying is used as a form of divination or intuitive insight where a crystal healer, psychic, or medium uses crystals, particularly those with reflective surfaces like obsidian, to receive messages, visions, or guidance.

Here’s an overview of what crystal scrying entails and how it’s typically done:

  • Healing and Transformation: Enhancing psychic abilities, and providing a deep meditative experience

  • Emotional Healing: By uncovering hidden emotions and patterns, scrying can facilitate emotional healing and release.

  • Shadow Work: Working with in particular with Obsidian, powerful for shadow work, helping individuals confront and integrate their darker, unconscious aspects.

The Role of the Practitioner: Skilled Interpretation

A Crystal healing Practitioner, psychic, or medium skilled in scrying brings their intuitive abilities and experience to the practice, offering accurate and meaningful interpretations of the visions.

Energetic Support: They also provide energetic support, helping individuals feel safe and guided during the process.

Crystal Scrying is not recommended to be done using powerful large crystals by people who are not familiar or able to take on the energy. If you attempt t crystal scry and start to feel nauseous, dizzy, any other feelings of discomfortable, disconnect from the crystal and rest. Even a Crystal Practitioner needs to recharge after scrying into especially Obsidian and as such, it is best to use a Practitioner versus experimenting before you are able to take on the energy that comes with it.

Crystal scrying is a profound and ancient practice that can offer deep insights, guidance, and healing. Whether using a crystal ball, an obsidian mirror, or a crystal wand, the process involves tapping into the intuitive and spiritual realms to receive messages that can help individuals navigate their lives with greater clarity and understanding.

1. Crystal Balls: Often made from clear quartz or other transparent crystals, crystal balls are traditional tools for scrying.

2. Obsidian: This volcanic glass has a reflective surface ideal for scrying. It is believed to provide deep insight, reveal hidden truths, and aid in shadow work.. Obsidian Mirrors: Flat, polished obsidian pieces are sometimes used as mirrors for scrying due to their reflective surfaces.

3. Crystal Wands: Used to direct energy and focus during the scrying session, crystal wands can help in channelling and amplifying the energy.

4. Crystal Pendulums: Using as an extra reaffirmation support a YES and NO answer to a question.

5. Dowsing Wands: Practice of using a tool, typically copper rods, traditionally used for locating water sources, a dowsing rod can also be used to communicate with spirit realm and particular spirits and energies.

Once the practitioner, psychic or medium is prepared, they will hold the crystal in their hand, gaze into its surface, and allow their mind to relax and become receptive to impressions or messages. They may focus on a specific question or topic, or simply allow their intuition to guide them.

The crystal acts as a tool to aid in their psychic abilities, amplifying their energy and connecting them more closely to spiritual dimensions. As they gaze into the crystal, they may begin to see visions, symbols, or other forms of information that can be interpreted as messages.

Practitioners who have the skill have their own way of interpreting the messages they receive during crystal scrying. Some may rely on intuition and inner guidance, while others may use divination tools such as Tarot cards or pendulums to help them discern and reaffirm the meaning of the messages.

In general, it is important for the psychic or medium to remain open and receptive to the messages, without trying to force a particular interpretation or meaning. As they practice crystal scrying, they may become better attuned to the energies and vibrations of the crystal, allowing them to receive more detailed and accurate messages.

Preparation Before Scrying

Setting the Space: The healer or psychic creates a calm, sacred space and use a Selenite Wand to absorb any negative energies, providing protection for scrying. Space needs to be a place where the practitioner can focus and concentrate without distractions.

Grounding and Centring: Before starting, the practitioner grounds themselves to ensure they are energetically balanced and centred. Steps such as breathing exercises and focusing on their centre.

Cleansing the Crystal: The crystal is usually cleansed to remove any unwanted energy or previous impressions. This can be done by running cold water over the crystal, smudging it with sage or Palo Santo, or placing it in sunlight or moonlight for a few hours.

Focus: The practitioner gazes into the crystal ball or obsidian surface, allowing their mind to enter a relaxed, meditative state.

Intention: They set a clear intention or ask a specific question they seek guidance on.

Receiving Visions

Seeing Symbols and Images: As they gaze, the healer may begin to see images, symbols, or scenes within the crystal. These visions are often subtle and require interpretation.

Intuitive Messages: Beyond visual images, the practitioner may also receive intuitive messages or feelings that provide additional insights.

Interpreting Messages

Symbolism and images: Seen in the crystal are interpreted based on the practitioner’s intuition and knowledge of symbolic meanings.

Guidance: The practitioner then shares these insights and guidance with the person seeking the reading, providing clarity and answers to their questions.
