Crystal gazing is a form of skrying in which a medium stares fixedly into a crystal ball. The first impressions may be hazy but according to many mediumistic accounts this effect clears away and specific visionary scenes then present themselves. Occultists believe the crystal ball is a focus for the medium's psychic perception and that the crystal ball does not, in itself, cause the visions to appear. Please ask the crystal ball a yes/no question and it will respond.
