The pictures were apropos of nothing; they had been suggested by nothing I had been reading or talking of, they simply came as if I had been able to look through a glass at what was occurring somewhere else in the world. I had my peep and then it passed, nor have I had a recurrence of a similar experience. Crystal-Gazing. Crystal-gazing is somewhat akin to clairvoyance.
The theatre darkened once more. There were the usual preliminaries, and the orchestra burst into the prelude of the second act. "Have you ever done any crystal-gazing?" Emmeline whispered. And some one on the floor of the house hissed for silence. I shook my head. "You must try." Her voice indicated that she was becoming excited again. "At my reception there will be a spiritualism room.
The practice of 'scrying, 'peeping, or 'crystal-gazing, has been revived in recent years, and is, perhaps, the only 'occult' diversion which may be free from psychological or physical risk, and which it is easy not to mix with superstition. The antiquity and world-wide diffusion of scrying, in one form or other, interests the student of human nature.
Journal of the Society for Psychical Research, vol. ix., p. 15. Proceedings, vol. xx., p. 331. I will not review the various and very often grotesque methods of interrogating the future that are most frequently practised to-day: cards, palmistry, crystal-gazing, fortune-telling by means of coffee-grounds, tea-leaves, magnetic needles and white of egg, graphology, astrology and the rest.
Captain Bourke presented him with a still finer crystal. 'He could not give me an explanation of its magical use, except that by looking into it he could see everything he wanted to see, Captain Bourke appears never to have heard of the modern experiments in crystal-gazing.
I have floated in with the flood and out with the ebb of almost every fad from crystal-gazing to bridge. I always hope that one of them is going to be worth while." "But you can't call the Swami's philosophy 'a fad'," objected Norris. "No, perhaps that wasn't fair. Ram Juna is really very celestial in a ponderous kind of way, isn't he?
Interesting as a proof of Inca crystal-gazing, this legend of Christoval's cannot compete as evidence with Acosta and Garcilasso. The reader, however, must decide as to whether he prefers Garcilasso's unpropitiated Pachacamac, or Christoval's Uiracocha, human sacrifices, and all. Mr. Tylor prefers the version of Christoval, making Pachacamac a title of Uiracocha.
Posthypnotic suggestion, crystal-gazing, automatic writing and trance-speech, the willing-game, etc., are now, thanks to him, instruments of research, reagents like litmus paper or the galvanometer, for revealing what would otherwise be hidden. These are so many ways of putting the Subliminal on tap.
Airy, full laughter, trembling like her voice on the brink of music and falling in sparkling cascades into an ocean of melody. "But you are bold!" she cried. "Bold as brass." "Not at all," said Hayden politely. "All this crystal-gazing is very interesting, very pretty and effective, and serves admirably to show just as much of your hand as you desire me to know.
"Are you crystal-gazing, too?" he asked. Unusually, she didn't turn at his voice and her own was monotonous with strongly repressed emotion. "I don't need to. I spent more than a week staring into mine." That lead was plain enough, but he avoided, deliberately though rather idly, following it up. The rustle of paper told her that he had turned back to his letters.
