Crystal Gazing is a book by Northcote W. Thomas, first published in 1905. This work offers a detailed study of the ancient and enduring practice of scrying, focusing particularly on the use of crystal spheres as a means of divination and accessing visions or psychic impressions. Thomas, an anthropologist and folklorist, examines the historical roots of crystal gazing in both Western and non-Western traditions, while also exploring its psychological and parapsychological dimensions. The book aims to treat the subject with both scholarly rigor and open-minded curiosity, combining accounts of experiments, case studies, and folklore to provide a comprehensive overview. It stands as an early 20th-century attempt to bridge the gap between mystical experience and emerging scientific inquiry into the unseen aspects of the human mind.
