Description
DATE: Late Victorian, c.1900
Two Worlds, founded in Manchester in 1887 was a known publishing company that produced their own flagship. This was devoted to spiritualists, occult scientists, and ethics, in which they produced spirit-communication tools for those who could communicate (to you know who...). The crystal ball has been around since the very first century, and were especially popular during the Victorian period- used for the act of Scrying. Divination and scrying are the first things you think of when you hear of a crystal ball, which involves gazing into the crystal, tuning into your intuition and being open to any visions or messages.
This amazing miniature occult ball comes with its "Two Worlds" instructions... Creepy I know... Swipe through the images to see the full instructions page, but I will mention two things that stood out to me- 1. They mention the colour change of the ball, in which you can see this from the first image (a blue milky colour) and 2. "These crystals have been specially magnetised and are very powerful".
This miniature antique rock crystal ball is cold to the touch, and is boxed in dark blue velvet, a great piece to place in the centre of your home, soaking in all the energy. This one was owned by a E.Hall, written in the top corner of the lid. Could they have been a sprit medium? Dates to the Victorian period, circa 1900.
