So I’m buying a crystal ball. That might sound out of left field, but there it is. I had a dream the other night. In this dream, I visited a shop that catered to religious paraphernalia, especially of the pagan variety. In this dream, I was purchasing incense (sandalwood, to be exact, which is my favorite), when a man approached me and asked me to follow him into a back room. So of course it being a dream I did this without question.
When we entered the backroom, it was pitch black. However, after a moment, light began to glow from hundreds of different crystals sitting on tables. I started walking among the tables, looking at these glowing crystals of every different color, type, and size. When I reached the last table, I saw a row of crystal balls. I began to look at each one, as each one had different details. One appeared to contain a blue sky, another had a storm. There was one with what appeared to be a castle, and another one had a knight, bedecked in armor, and holding a sword upright.
The last crystal ball was clear, in that it contained nothing but a glowing light. I felt drawn to it, and as I stared into it, it whispered to me, that I had discovered the next step in my growth as a person. I touched the orb, and it was cold. It appeared to take on a frosty covering, and that’s when I woke up.
Just for a lark, earlier today I was browsing a few articles on crystal balls, what they were used for. Many of them are used for meditation. One such meditation involves scrying. That piqued my interest, and so I figured why not check them out. I figured I’d find a list of them in novelties, or some such, and that what I did find would be expensive. I was wrong on both counts. What I found were crystal balls made from crystal, and for prices that weren’t ridiculous.
I don’t know when I’m getting one, but I know which one I’m getting. I kid you not, because as I was browsing the various choices (there are a million of these things in different crystals, designs, and styles), I found one that looks exactly like the crystal ball from my dream.
So, yeah, crystal ball. Never figured that one would happen.
