Quartz crystal over lead glass for divination.
What is crystal ball?
It is globe of quartz crystal or glass in which images, especially those believed to portend the future, are supposedly visible to fortune tellers.
A vehicle or technique for making predictions.
When considering the fine and ancient art of crystal ball reading, one should consider seriously investing in a quartz crystal ball. The cost is scientifically more undoubtedly, but well worth it. If one wants a crystal ball more for show however, more for a prop on your table, then lead crystal is your choice.
Why choose quartz? Primarily because, lead crystal is man made. It is manufactured . Wise geek tells us:
Lead crystal is made from glass that has been treated with lead oxide and hand or machine cut to make facets. This gives the glass a higher index of refraction and creates an attractive sparkling effect that is prized throughout the world.
Englishman George Ravenscroft is credited with discovering lead crystal in 1676. Today, popular manufacturers of lead crystal include Waterford Crystal, Swarovski, Steuban Glass, Royal Leerdam, Mikasa, and Baccarat. These companies make lead crystal drinking glasses and serving dishes, as well as sculptures, miniatures, jewelry, chandeliers, candleholders, Christmas ornaments, and home décor items.
It is true that quartz crystal balls are shaped by man, but they come from our mother earth. Here is what a crystal looks like in its nature state.
Quartz (from German Quarz ) is the second most abundant mineral in the Earth's continental crust (after feldspar). It is made up of a lattice of silica (SiO2) tetrahedra. Quartz has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale and a density of 2.65 g/cm³.
Crystal contains magical properties. It works much like a radio, they are cable of receiving and transmitting information. Please visit any of the useful links posted for more information on crystals. It is this very nature of the crystal that the psychic taps into. I always have the person who I am having the reading for hold the ball and visualize their question, they are putting their energy into the ball, putting their frequency into the crystal . In addition, the very act of looking into the ball , ones frequencies are put into the ball.
The reader is required to read those frequencies. The reader must stare, not blink and allow the images to form in his/her mind.
The card of the 'Fool' from the Rider Waite Deck. Its meaning.
Its Meaning in a reading
Often times when the fool card comes up in a reading one is filled with a sense of shame, for who wants to be associated with being foolish? As with all the cards, one needs to look closely at the imagery. Also remember the days of the Kings court, where it was the fool who entertained the court, who advised and revealed his wisdom through sarcasm and wit.
When this card turns up it often times, depending on its location and the question asked, is a warning. The fool looks up at the blue sky, he breaths in the fresh air and is enjoying himself, he is optimistic about his journey ( As indicted by the familiar hobo pack of taking a trip on his shoulder) yet he does not look down at his dog barking franticly at him. What is the dog trying to do? Trying to tell him? The dog is attempting to get his masters attention. The fool is in a dreamlike state, daydreaming about his new future, how much better things will be .
The fool does not see, however, that he is about to walk off the edge of the cliff before him, to his peril. This is our warning. Depending on the question, and the cards location, the person receiving the reading is being warned, to keep there eyes open before embarking on their new journey or relationship. It is very important to have an optimistic approach in your endeavors, but also be aware of what could go wrong. Listen to your gut reaction and intuition. Keep your nose to the grindstone. Look at the possible pitfalls that lie before you. If you are aware of them, it is more likely that you will not fall victim to them.
If the fool listens to his friend the dog ( the reader should advise that he/she solicit the opinion of their friends and consider their input) , he would look and see the cliff he is about to approach. He would take measures not to fall in. He would take an different route, look for a bridge. It does not necessarily prevent him from his journey. One should not give up just because they face an obstacle. Find the solution. One can make the choice to climb down the cliff and then back up again. If in a reading one is asking about a new relationship, let them know it will be faced with possible ups and downs and certain complicatedness.
If the card is revered, then the fool is looking to the ground, is aware of the obstacles in front of him, has his eyes wide open, is considering the advice of his friends. In this sense it is a favorable card for the person receiving the reading.

Catheine Reinke Psychic Tarot Reader, How does one read the future with cards?
I have been a tarot reader for nearly thirty years...my God I am dating myself. I always had in interest in the 'occult'. I dislike the word, as it is frightening to many bible enthusiasts , especially devote Christians , convinced that anything to do with 'magic' or the 'occult is evil. I have wrestled with this for many years. Yet have come to the conclusion that it is not. I myself pray and evoke four archangels (Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, and Michael) before each reading. I do believe in Jesus Christ as the son of God.
The wise men of the bible were magi, in other words magic. they practiced astrology, as shown in how they witnessed and followed the star of Bethlehem. I have asked myself if the bible warns not in engage in such practices, as it does, then how could not the three wise men be condemned? Nearly every child knows this story.
What is divination? It is the ability to read the future. How does one do this? It is not, I assure you, always the work of charlatans, although admitting they do exist. I have a background in science and I am the type of person who needs concrete proof. I found the answer in quantum physics.
Think of how we tune into a radio station, a psychic simply tunes into a different time frequency. The past,present and future all co-exist at the same time, on one point. Yet this point is infinite in space which encompasses all that has occurred, is occurring and the possibilities of what can occur,
What are the Orgins of Vampires?
Vampires are mythological or folkloric revenants who subsist by feeding on the blood of the living. In folkloric tales, the undead vampires often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighbourhoods they inhabited when they were alive. They wore shrouds and were often described as bloated and of ruddy or dark countenance, markedly different from today's gaunt, pale vampire which dates from the early Nineteenth Century. Although vampiric entities have been recorded in most cultures, the term vampire was not popularised until the early 18th century, after an influx of vampire superstition into Western Europe from areas where vampire legends were frequent, such as the Balkans and Eastern Europe,[1] although local variants were also known by different names, such as vampir (вампир) in Serbia, vrykolakas in Greece and strigoi in Romania. This increased level of vampire superstition in Europe led to mass hysteria and in some cases resulted in corpses actually being staked and people being accused of vampirism.
In modern times, however, the vampire is generally held to be a fictitious entity, although belief in similar vampiric creatures such as the chupacabra still persists in some cultures. Early folkloric belief in vampires has been ascribed to the ignorance of the body's process of decomposition after death and how people in pre-industrial societies tried to rationalise this, creating the figure of the vampire to explain the mysteries of death. Porphyria was also linked with legends of vampirism in 1985 and received much media exposure, but this link has since been largely discredited. (from Wikipedia)
