Crystal Gazing (Jabberwoke Pocket Occult): 1

The Purpose of this little volume is three-fold. (1) To give those who are interested in the art of Crystal-Gazing a clear and concise method of procedure not alone in the practice of the work but also in the preparation of the crystal itself so that it becomes a true material basis or link with other planes. (2) To show that the Ancient Methods of Working - if properly understood - are more scientific than modern ones since they were designed to insure a definite type of vision and to put the Seer in touch with definite Intelligences of a Higher Order. (3) To point out that there are other Crystalline Spheres besides the crystal ball at first used to contact them; and that eventually the practice may lead to very high results if the necessary steps are taken to insure success.With these objects in mind the Author has done all in his power to make this book of real value to all who may obtain it.In the hands of the beginner it may lead to a wider conception of the Nature and Powers of his or her own being. Those who have already traveled some distance along the Occult Path may still find help through the study of the more advanced if less understood methods of the Ancient Seers. Those who are seeking to make their own Vision more Perfect so that the Light of Truth may focus itself within them also find hints as to the means of accomplishing their True Purpose.Thus it is hoped all will be satisfied; and should their satisfaction be equal to that of the Author at this opportunity to herald the Light - however faintly - of the Ultimate Crystalline Sphere Whose nature is Light Itself he will be more than repaid for his efforts.-Frater Achad 1923
