All the pictures are symbols for every aspect of human existence. Find out how and where you fit into the cosmos. Scrying Scrying is a witch's way to see into the future, using a crystal ball, or any other reflective surface - such as a pool of still water, or a mirror. Other people say looking at the flame of a candle, or staring into a roaring fire gets the same results. Personally, I think only some people can see into the future this way.
Crystal balls are cute, cosy, make great ornaments, and feel realer than some of the other methods.
My mother and I used to hold ouija parties for our friends. I swear to you, it does - even if everyone has the idea that everyone else is doing the pushing. Lucky had a very unlucky, scary experience. She went home and threw away her own ouija board. So if you use it, don't abuse it.
