How to predict the future with a crystal ball?

When people think of divination, they may think of an old witch-like woman staring at a crystal ball and connecting the images she saw with the questions raised by others. Nothing serious. Perhaps the image of this crystal ball soothsayer is more detrimental to the reputation of divination than other images-this is very sad, because as a part of crystal ball divination, this kind of divination with crystals, mirrors, flames and water to peep at the future is a long and respectable tradition. The long history of crystal ball divination can be traced back to prehistoric times, when tribal members who were considered prescient were able to foresee what was about to happen through reflective surfaces. The object used for prediction is not necessarily a crystal ball, an open clam or a still water surface can achieve the same effect. In a slightly more modern era, the famous prophet Nostradamus Dammous appeared, and his predictions were successively realized hundreds of years after his death. He would sit alone at night and stare at a bowl of water supported by a copper tripod with the light of a candle. He saw visions from the mirror-like water, which are still closely related to the times we live in now. Dr. john dee, a contemporary British fortune teller, used a dark obsidian as a mirror to help predict. His divination was recognized by Queen Elizabeth I. When divining, he stared at the crystal ball, concentrated his perception and stopped rational thinking. The eyes catch the light reflected from the crystal ball and keep their eyes fixed. Soon, the eyes will begin to blur, the crystal ball will become blurred, and in the fog, images will begin to form. These images are the projections of the images predicted by the soothsayer's heart or crystal ball. Fortune tellers often find that small spots of light appear before the fog disappears. Sometimes there will be a big blue space, and the influence will appear in it. These images are sometimes symbolic or may be beautiful. Images appearing in the background indicate earlier time than those appearing in front, and they represent what may happen in the near future. Don't try to keep the image after it appears; Let them come and go freely, such as ebb and flow, and don't try to control them.
