Quartz Crystal Balls (spheres) are ancient magickal tools. They represent the
Goddess
on the Altar and their natural cold temperature is symbolic of the depths of
the sea.
Scott Cunningham (a famous Wiccan author) describes that:
"The Crystal
has long been used in contemplative divination. The diviner gazes into the
ball until the psychic faculties blossom, and images, seen in the mind or
projected by it into the depths of the crystal, reveal the necessary
information. Periodic exposure to moonlight, or rubbing the crystal with fresh
mugwort, will increase its ability to spark our psychic powers. It may be the
center of Full Moon rituals."
Freshly dried Mugwort is available on our
Herbs page.
It can take thousands of
years for a natural quartz crystal to reach the size required to make a crystal
ball. Many crystal balls available by other shops are made of leaded glass,
glass, or reconstituted quartz.
All of our crystal balls are 100% Natural Quartz Crystal!
You can tell that a crystal ball is made of Natural Quartz based on
inclusions and irregularities, which occur naturally as the crystal is formed.
The clearer a Natural Quartz Crystal is, the more valuable it is.
