Crystal Ball

Your wish to grow and develop has been heard, and the Universe is waiting for further instructions from you. You may think you know what you want right now, but you are not sure how to ask for it, or what exactly to ask for. Do not forget that the Universe cannot give you a clear answer while your own thoughts are muddled.

This card is a reminder that you have to be able to describe your wishes with crystal clarity in order for them to come about. That is the ground of every act of creation. Take the time to think your request through properly. Clarity is coming to you now, and it is asking you: what do you actually want?

Verse
Go with confidence, with love, with clarity,
toward the light and toward certainty.
The truth is lying there within the answer,
and the crystal ball is heard here too.

Other meanings
Be aware of every word you speak and every thought you think. Concentrate on strengthening your own particular talents and interests. You will soon get a clear sign in answer to your questions. Make sure you are paying attention.

About the crystal ball
Crystal balls have been used in divination since Dr. John Dee (1527 to 1608), royal adviser to Elizabeth I, used his to let her communicate with spirits. Romani fortune tellers read the future by gazing into a crystal ball. These days crystal balls are also used simply as something to focus on, so you can empty your mind in preparation for spiritual communication.
