Crystallomancy
Crystallomancy or “scrying”, more simply known as “crystal ball gazing”, has played a considerable role in contemporary culture with respect to shaping societal perceptions of the Romani. Gypsies are commonly associated with the use of crystal balls to tell fortunes, this association extensively inflated no thanks to media depictions of them doing so throughout the 19th to 21st century, popularizing the relation between these Romani drabardi and the practice on the whole.
Some gazers may choose use palm-sized crystal balls appropriately termed “palm balls”, but this is largely based on personal preference as well as what the gazer in question can afford, the larger crystal balls and balls made of more precious materials understandably costing more than the more minute ones.
As the subject suggests, crystal balls are used by these readers to tell fortunes, be it predicting future events or giving the client an analysis of his or her character, the latter of which mostly with the purpose of solving a problem of the client’s in mind.
