The history of crystals applied in Western divination is far more time-honored than we conceive, and has long been deeply ingrained in the heritage of ancient Western civilizations.
As early as 2000 BC, the Celtic Druids regarded natural crystals as sacred spiritual relics. Priests gazed and meditated upon pristine crystals, attuning to the revelations of nature and divine beings through the pure energy of crystals, and divined fortunes and foretold tribal destinies in such a sacred manner. Ancient Egyptian priests held a special preference for obsidian, conducting scrying divination via its profound reflective surface to foresee national fate and future prospects, which was an exclusive mystical ritual for the royal family.
In ancient Greece, priestesses of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi held crystal balls to convey divine oracles. In a transcendent spiritual trance, they captured divine guidance through crystals to resolve the perplexities of the general public. During the medieval period, crystal balls emerged as the core divination implement for astrologers and occult scholars. European nobles were obsessed with prying into their fates via crystal divination, convinced that the shifting light and shadows within crystals held subtle clues to the future.
In modern times, with the prevalence of Tarot reading and spiritual astrology, crystals are no longer merely simple divination tools. They have evolved into energy amplifiers and subconscious connectors, fully integrated into the Western divination system, and become an indispensable spiritual companion for every spiritual devotee.
