Crystal Ball on Stand 200mm
Crystal Balls, traditionally linked to divination and magic, are often thought of in relation to fortune tellers predicting the future. This is just one interpretation of these symbolically significant items.
Historical texts and legends, including the book of revelations and King Arthur's tale, often reference them. King Arthur, for example, consulted the prophecies of Merlin the Magician through his crystal ball.
Crystal balls were highly valued by Scryers (fortune tellers) during the middle ages, often being handed down to their students. These tools were used to establish contact with the divine, a testament to the long history of crystals in communication, similarly seen in modern devices like radios, phones, and computers.
The transparency and symmetry inherent in crystal balls could be why they became key tools. Moreover, it's believed that the energy fields of crystals and gemstones subtly and esoterically influence what the scryer sees.
Caution!
Due to their optical characteristics, crystal balls can pose a slight fire risk if exposed to direct sunlight.
