Northcote W. Thomas traces the history and practice of crystal gazing, also called scrying. He considers accounts of visions seen in crystals, mirrors and other reflective surfaces, connecting historical examples with questions about perception, imagination and thought transference.
The chapters discuss the instruments used for scrying, methods and incantations, Egyptian practices and reports presented as prophetic or telepathic experiences. Andrew Lang contributes an extended introduction drawing on his own interest in the subject. The download preserves the complete 1905 Dodge Publishing edition, with its bibliography and index.
