Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
The words "crystal ball" usually conjure images of old Gypsy women telling fortunes from the backs of caravan wagons, but Uma Silbey assures us that Gypsies are not the only ones who can master the art of Crystal Ball Gazing. Based on her 30-plus years of experience working with crystals, Crystal Ball Gazing has a personal feel, so it doesn't read like a technical manual. Almost half of the book is devoted to helping choose the right crystal ball for the job. (Focusing on healing? Try using amethyst.) Crystal Ball Gazing is not just about divination, though; Silbey offers plenty of practical applications such as relaxation. Like any tool, crystal balls can be of immense benefit if used properly, and Silbey shows just how to get the most out of yours. --Brian Patterson

This book goes into everything you need to know about different crystals and crystal balls (whether glass, lab made or the real thing). Meditation techniques to enter the crystal ball. How to be safe (using prayers), how to find things, meet angelic entities, balance your chakras, symbolism, and the list just goes on, and on. Loving yourself (opening your heart chakra)in order to open the third eye to see in the crystal ball. It's definately the best book you can get to learn crystal ball gazing!
