Nature

Crystal gazing may be used by practitioners -- sometimes called "readers" or "seers" -- for a variety of purposes, including to predict distant or future events, to give character analyses, for fortune telling, or to help a client make choices about current situations and problems.

Film made by Dan Alexoae

In Spring of youth it was my lot
To haunt of the wide world a spot
The which I could not love the less -
So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound,
And the tall pines that towered around.

But when the night had thrown her pall
Upon that spot, as upon all,
And the mystic wind went by
Murmuring in melody -
Then - ah, then, I would awake
To the terror of the lone lake.

Yet that terror was not fright,

Wind rustled crunching leaves
That on the sidewalk lay.
There was a big storm coming
On a windy Autumn day.

Thunder rumbled overhead
And shook me through and through.
A jagged bolt of lightning struck!
The sky then cracked in two!

Rain washed down the dirty road.
It hissed, and gushed, and muttered.
