A while back I wrote about the use of scrying mirrors in magical and healing practices. There was a lot of response to this. Today I would like to cover the subject of the Witch’s Ball. Often people have a blank look on their faces when I mention this, because the teachings are all but lost. And what surprised most people is that they may actually have not just one but many Witch’s Balls in their homes!
So, what, exactly, is a Witch’s Ball? What is its purpose? How does one use it? These are things that you are about to discover, if you are not already one of the fortunate few who know about this stuff.
A Witch’s Ball is a round ball that has a shiny and reflective surface. This is not the same as a crystal ball. A crystal ball you can see through. With a Witch’s Ball, you only see the surface and the reflection in the surface. You will find that many people have Witch’s Balls in their gardens. A few years back, metallic surfaced balls (quite large in fact) became all the rage for the garden lover. These are Witch’s Balls. You will also find Witch’s Balls on Yule and Christmas trees as hanging ornaments. That’s right. Those shiny surfaced round Christmas balls are actually Witch’s Balls. Tah Dah!!
The purpose of the Witch’s Ball is to provide a shiny surface from which a person can scry/see/view and to create a vessel that will allow the individual to go within, thus activating their third eye. This will bring them, over time, the ability to center and ground themselves as well as to look within to find the intuitive answers that they seek. This is not about remote viewing and spying on others. It is about going within and viewing what is there. Thus, a person using a Witch’s Ball will be able to address and process their shadow nature more effectively than one who is completely ignorant of its existence.
To use a Witch’s Ball, sit quietly and gaze upon it, allowing your gaze to “skim over” the surface. As you do this, allow your eyes to soften, like they would when you are daydreaming. It may also help to pick a tone that is comfortable and softly hum that tone while you are doing this. Gradually, and gently, this will allow you to slip into a trance state of consciousness. This is where the work begins! In that trance state you are then able to access all levels of your being. You can look at what is ailing you, find what fortifies you, and discover what will heal you. Sometimes while doing this a person will slip into a deep sleep. That is alright. You have just entered the Dream Weave and from there you can connect with all that is throughout the entire Universe.
I know that this sounds like it is ridiculously easy. It is not. Some folks take YEARS to be able to master this technique. So don’t get down on yourself if it seems like at first there is nothing to report home about. Just keep trying every so often and you will find that there will come a moment when the gates open wide, and you will be a little bit blown away by what you find. Don’t doubt yourself. Trust yourself. But also release any dogmatic beliefs about what you think you know about yourself, the world around you, or the Universe and its “laws.” You will soon find that there is much to learn and discover. But if you are willing to take that journey of discovery, you will also find that there is a lot of support out there for you. We have guides who are there to help us through. So be brave. Be bold. Providence loves boldness!
