Article 1 - Crystal Ball Scrying!
People often imagine scrying as peering into a crystal ball, eyes half-lidded, waiting for a movie to start playing inside the glass. My path to crystal readings was nothing like that. In fact, the first time I held one of my spheres, all I felt was a storm of energy — prickly electric spikes dancing in my palms, my whole body buzzing with static. Instead of clarity, I got disorientation.
I tried all the “classic” methods: meditating on the crystal, softening my gaze, letting my focus blur into the depths of the sphere. Nothing. The crystal’s energy flooded my system but gave me no story.
It wasn’t until I discovered my missing piece — grounding — that everything changed. Sitting literally on the earth, or at least with my bare feet on a grounding mat, I felt the circuit complete. The excess energy had somewhere to flow. My body stopped buzzing. My mind opened.
And then the visions began. Not just images, but experiences.
When I scry this way, the crystal doesn’t show me a picture; it immerses me in a story. Vivid scenery unfolds with sensations, smells, sounds. Sometimes I’m watching from the outside; sometimes I am the object, person, or animal in the vision. It’s more like stepping through a doorway than staring at a screen.
For me, the crystal isn’t a prop — it’s a conduit. Grounding isn’t an optional ritual; it’s the bridge between me and whatever wisdom the sphere wants to share.
If you’ve ever wondered how these readings on my Etsy shop come to life — this is it. Not a parlor trick, but a living dialogue between stone, earth, and spirit.
