This is my altar set up for scrying with a crystal ball. It's a practical arrangement using the coffee table in my witchy room, which is a suitable height when I'm sitting on my sofa next to it. It doesn't have to be complicated. All I put on it are things I actually need for the work:
- Crystal ball on a stand or cushion
- Candles in a suitable holder
- Incense (sticks in this case)
- Wand for circle casting
- Journal and pen
I cleansed my space by tidying up then visualising candlelight dispelling unwanted energy. I also visualised the light cleansing my crystal ball of other influences. I lit my incense then used the wand to cast a protective circle around me and the altar. The crystal ball was used for the actual scrying. Afterwards I made notes in my journal.
If I'd wanted to I could have put other things on the altar - perhaps items relating to the question I was asking, a statue of a deity I honour, salty water or a herbal infusion if I'd chosen to cleanse with that instead of light, and other crystals that might boost the effectiveness of my psychic work. However, they aren't essential. Sometimes a simple altar is all you need - especially if you are short of time and energy.
This post continues a series I've been writing about altars. earlier examples include a Goddess altar, a solar altar for sun magic, and Harmonia Saille's hedgewitchery altar.
