When you think of a crystal, what is the 1st thing that comes to mind? For many, it might be a crystal ball. A crystal, carved and polished into the shape of a sphere, can be a powerful conductor of energy. The sphere is the perfect shape and the shape of our mother Earth. This shape allows the crystal to radiate energy in every direction at once. This is probably why a crystal ball is always been such a staple image when it comes to crystals. A crystal in the shape of a sphere has boundless potential and this is why they are so popular.

Crystal spheres or crystal balls are inherently connected to the earth, sun, moon, and stars. They are an excellent tool in helping to open the 3rd eye chakra which helps to increase intuition and clairvoyance. It’s no surprise that spheres are also a popular tool used for scrying. Scrying, also known by the names of hydromancy, crystal gazing and occlumency, is the ancient art of revelation. Spheres can be passed through the aura in crystal healing or held over the chakras. They bring a peaceful and grounded energy to the home. Crystal spheres are also a great center in crystal grids for earth healing, harmony, protection or psychic development. Grids always require a larger central stone which is meant to be the main source of energy that you want the grid to focus on. A sphere in the center with its ability to radiate outward in every direction is an optimal choice in shape. Pyramids and obelisks are also useful as center stones in grids.

The roundness of the crystal ball symbolically represents a sense of oneness, wholeness, completion, karma, and respect for cyclical energies. The smooth surface of the sphere facilitates clear communication and helps to keep the energy flow moving. Crystal balls help to empower the mind with awareness and direct supporting healing energies through the conscious body.  Moving energy through time, Crystal balls and spheres may enable one to see circumstances from a different perspective. Crystal balls may be effective in purifying and healing any leaks in the auric field. Crystal balls and spheres are excellent “hand comforters” to use in times of stress. Holding a crystal ball brings its healing vibrations into one’s auric field allowing for a shift in the energy fields. Crystal balls and spheres are also excellent crystal tools providing a focal point for meditation.

Overall, the sphere shape in crystal healing is possibly one of the most powerful. It radiates the energy of its crystal in every direction, displacing it evenly throughout the location in which it’s placed. The sphere’s connection to the Earth and stars makes it one of the most revered and widely used shapes in crystal healing.

Crystal balls have been used for fortune-telling and clairvoyance since at least the first century. Their popularity has waxed and waned, but they continue to be popular tools for psychics, fortune-tellers, and mediums today.

One of the first known references to crystal balls comes from the work of the Roman Pliny the Elder, who described the use of crystal balls by “soothsayers.” At the time, crystal balls were referred to as “crystallum orbis” and, later, as “orbuculum.” Crystal ball gazing became increasingly popular in Rome over the next several
hundred years. While widely accepted by the Romans, the practice was condemned by the Catholic church, as it is specifically forbidden in the Bible.

Around third to fifth century CE, the Druids of the British Isles were also using crystal balls (along with other reflective surfaces) to see into the future. Between the years 500 and 1500, crystal balls were more of a decorative accessory than a fortune-telling device in Europe. Some, however, continued to practice crystallomancy (though keeping it carefully hidden from the Church). It is suggested in some sources that the Arthurian sorcerer Merlin carried and used a crystal ball. It was during the Renaissance and the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, however, that crystal balls regained their importance and legitimacy as a fortune-telling tool. This was largely the doing of John Dee, an advisor to the queen, who became interested in using an obsidian crystal ball for scrying. Dee, who was also an alchemist and “natural philosopher,” believed himself to be communicating with angels and demons through the sphere. He shared his readings with the queen, who began to make the practice more popular.

During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the Roma people (gypsies) migrated in greater numbers from India to Europe. With their tradition of fortune-telling, they were ostracized by the Church but welcomed by many who sought out their advice. The Victorian era saw a resurgence of interest in all things occult, including spiritualism and crystal gazing. Crystal gazing became fashionable; it was claimed that when the sun was at its northernmost declination one could gaze into the ball, see a rising mist, and then experience a vision of the future. Crystal balls continue to be popular in the 21st century and are part of New Age, Pagan, and other belief systems. They are also used by psychics, fortune tellers, and mediums.

Real crystal balls are beautifully unique, and no two are exactly alike. You can find many glass spheres that are the same, and these will work for scrying (crystal ball reading), but they don’t hold quite the same power as a genuine crystal ball.
