The Crystal Ball, often associated with magical divination, is more than just a fortune-telling tool. Its symbolism has made it prominent across various cultures and eras.
Its mention in the book of revelations and the King Arthur legend, where Merlin the Magician used it for prophecies, underscores its significance.
During the middle ages, Scryers (fortune tellers) cherished these balls, passing them on to successors. They are seen as a divine communication tool, similar to how crystals are used in modern technology like radios, phones, and computers.
The importance of crystal balls may lie in their transparency and symmetry. Moreover, it is believed that the energetic fields of crystals and gemstones subtly influence the visions of the scryer.
Caution!
Due to their optical nature, crystal balls may pose a fire hazard if exposed to direct sunlight.
