Hello, Rootworkers of the Lucky Mojo Form
I have been working on learning the celebrated art of Crystal Gazing, in the hope that it will help me further my contact with spirits. I have been practicing using the information I have learned from the Reverend Dr. Jon Saint Germain's book Crystal Magic, which has been very informative and in an easily digestible format that is easy to read and re-read, it also taught me of Leopard Skin Jasper which has helped me in my work as it corresponds well to Dionysus and Pan who (sometimes) wore Leopard Pelts.
I have been doing a slightly modified form of the suggested curriculum for a couple of weeks now and while my gazing hasn't led to any mystical visions yet, I have found that it is very relaxing and can see how trance states can be reached through focused gazing at a shiny surface for a long period of time.
I am using currently a large Obsidian Sphere and a small ball of Amethyst both of which I do feel very attuned to, are indeed intoxicatingly shiny, and I do feel that I can send projections and receptions through them, but they are both opaque. I think that this isn't a downside, but I would like to stare at the candle's flame through a Crystal Ball, so it would be helpful to buy a Glass Crystal Ball from Lucky Mojo as not only does the Reverend highly recommend them, but the much celebrated (if just as equally derided) Dr. John Dee and Sir Edmund Kelly used a Glass Crystal Ball in their famed angel communications.
I would click the buy button asap, if it wasn't for but one concern, I have heard a glass crystal ball can be a significant fire hazard and needs to be covered properly to avoid this. I cover my crystals under my altar (which is a large wooden desk, with storage space) with the altar cloth which is a red bedsheet and a small tapestry. I have not seen problems with these opaque reflective Crystal Balls, but would this be a hazard with a small "2 Clear Glass Crystal Ball without extra covering, and would any kind of covering cloth or bag (a "ball bag" if you will) help subvert this issue? My altar room has two windows, though they are curtained the room gets quite a bit of sun, I usually do my workings at night.
Thank you and sorry for the long post, I have trouble talking about magic with brevity, any advice about scrying would also be appreciated!
