Crystallomancy, or crystal gazing, is a method of divination of distant or future events by gazing into a crystal or a ball of polished rock crystal. In popular media, a crystal ball is often used.

Celtic tribes, known to exist in Britain as early as 2,000 B.C., were unified by a priesthood known as Druids. Druids are one of the earliest known peoples to have used crystals in divination. It's interesting to note that Druid religion and science have similarities to megalithic priests of an "earlier" Britain, thus it is possible the first use of crystal divination might have come from them. Later, during central Europe's Medieval Period (500 – 1500 AD), seers, wizards, sorcerers, psychics, gypsies, fortune tellers, and all other types of diviners also used crystals to ...

The art or process of "seeing" is known as "scrying," whereby images are seen in crystals, or other mediums such as water, and are interpreted as meaningful information. The "information" gleaned then is used to make important decisions in one's life (i.e. love, marriage, finances, travel, business, etc). When the technique of scrying is used with crystals, or any transparent body, it is known as crystallomancy. ...

Urim and Thummim play a role in Mormonism. Joseph Smith, Jr. claimed to have used a Urim and Thummim to assist in the translation of the Book of Mormon from metal plates. Smith also reportedly used the medium to assist in receiving divine revelation, such as in dictating some of the sections of the Doctrine and Covenants as well as to facilitate some portions of the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible. The LDS Bible Dictionary defines an Urim and Thummim as "an instrument prepared of God to assist man in obtai ...

The earliest reference to Urim and Thummim in the Hebrew Bible is that Aaron carried them with him as High Priest. Many scholars believe Urim and Thummim were originally stones that resided in the breastplate (with other precious stones) of the Jewish High Priest ceremonial clothing when he officiated in the tabernacle or temple. Upon the death of Aaron and Moses, Joshua was instructed to present himself to the high priest for the counsel of the Urim and Thummim when he wished to consult God. This was in contrast to Moses, who ...
