#MythologyMonday #FortuneTelling 🔮 Gazing into crystal to glimpse the future has a long and curious history. Ancient writers described divination using shining stones and crystals, while later European traditions associated beryl with scrying. By the Renaissance, magician John Dee was using a crystal “shew-stone” in attempts to communicate with spirits and uncover hidden knowledge. ✨ From polished stone to the familiar crystal ball, the desire to peer beyond the veil has endured for centuries. 🔮👁️ #Scrying #FolkMagic #Folklore 📸 Actor Pauline Frederick, The photograph was distributed by the Bain News Service.
