Information About

Crystal Gazing




Crystal gazing or '''crystallomancy''' is a form of Trance Induction pervasive throughout the human experience. Crystal gazing denotes many different practices and disciplines. Certain practices may engender Visionary experiences and Preternatural and/or Supernatural Insight .

The trance can be achieved with any shiny object. In popular Media , a Crystal Ball is often used, typically by an old Gypsy woman.

If you are engaging a Crystal , or a ball of polished rock crystal as a gazing tool it may reside in the paradigm of gastromancy, '''crystallomancy''' or '''spheromancy'''.

Some people hold that crystal gazing can be used as a method of Divination of distant or future events. Others think that the visions merely comes from the Subconscious .

Some Stage Magicians use a crystal ball as a prop and crystallomancy as a line of patter in the performance of Mentalism effects. This type of presentation is sometimes referred to as a "C. G. act" - "C.G." standing for "crystal gazing." Perhaps the most famous expositor of the C. G. act during the 20th century was Alexander The Crystal Seer , billed as "The Man Who Knows All."
