Hi friends, the second artifact of Pisces season is Crystal Orb.
In this season, we are working with different artifacts to lean into the watery, intuitive, liminal energies of Pisces as a creative resource and power, to deliberately work with.
The purpose of Crystal Orb is to create a space for tuning into your intuitive knowing, for being in the foggy, cloudy place of receiving insights, inner visions, and allowing yourself to be with what you know and sense, even if it's not something that your mind can completely understand.
The guiding question for this artifact is: how do I learn to trust in my deeper knowing?
Throughout divination history, the crystal ball has been used in the practice of scrying, in which one looks into an object — often a reflective surface — to receive intuitive insights and psychic visions.
The object could be a quartz or glass ball, a mirror, an obsidian mirror, or even water in a black bowl, a flickering flame, the moon. It doesn't actually really matter what the object is, because the practice of scrying is not about the magic of the object. Those smoky mirrors and crystal balls are just the performance of magic — they're just props.
The purpose of the object is to help you access the instrument of the body.
If anything, the magic is in you, and the object is just here to help you channel inner vision, to look through the object like a two-way mirror, back into yourself.
I'm sure that you already have your own ways of relating to your intuition. Perhaps your insights or ideas come to you while in the shower, or walking, or while doing yoga, after sleeping on something. Not everything can be something that your conscious mind can grab onto and make sense of and analyze. Sometimes deeper knowing comes in its own time, at its own pace, in its own ways, in its own forms from different directions.
This artifact is about cultivating a deliberate space to be in contact with that deeper knowing and strengthening your attunement and relationship to it.
The core assumption that we're working under is that whatever problem or challenge or project you're working on, you already know the answer.
You can trust yourself to know the answer, and the answer is not this big, heavy block — the answer more often than not manifests as the single next step. Because way-finding in the dark is rarely about pressing a button and getting to the end destination. It's about the ongoing process of just taking the next step.
Everything you need to know is already inside of you, and it's in constant conversation with life and circumstances and the world around you.
