About this book

A clear sphere of quartz or beryl provides the starting point for Sepharial's account of crystal gazing. He presents the practice through ideas about spiritual forces, the nervous system and the limits of ordinary perception. Chapters move from the proposed qualities of a seer and practical preparations to visions, difficulties and symbols, followed by reported experiences and a concise dictionary of astrological terms.

The discussion of symbols gives this short handbook a particular focus. Sepharial argues that an image can carry different meanings for different observers, depending on personal associations and temperament. He compares this process with dreams and suggests that experience helps each observer develop a consistent interpretation. Read today, the book offers a view of occult belief in which practical directions sit beside speculative explanations and accounts offered as evidence for clear vision.
