The Waning Moon
A slow release. Something you are ready to set down, though your hands still argue with you.
Smoky quartz · 14 cm · single crystal
See what the fog keeps.
The stone is smoky quartz — silicon dioxide with a trace of aluminium, darkened over geological time by natural radiation in the host rock. The clouding is real: veils of rutile and chlorite frozen mid-crystal. Rest your cursor where the fog is thickest and it thins under your gaze; the inclusions behind it resolve.

Move across the glass to part the mist. Where you linger, the vision clears.

ii — the archetypes
Six visions the fog favours
The mist rarely improvises. It returns, again and again, to these old forms — each one a door the orb likes to open.
The Forked Path
Two roads, and the orb will not choose for you. It only shows which one you keep glancing back toward.
The Turning Wheel
Fortune in motion. What was high comes low; what was buried is rising to meet the light.
The Distant Ship
News is travelling toward you across dark water. It is nearer than the horizon lets you believe.
The Kept Star
A steady light that has never left you, though the fog has hidden it for a long, cold season.
The Watcher
You are being thought of, from somewhere you cannot see. The orb will not say kindly or otherwise.
I asked the glass a question I'd hidden even from myself — and the fog cleared exactly there.
— Recorded of a sitting, autumn, no name given
iii — the appointment
Sit with the orb
The parlour opens at dusk and closes when the mist grows tired. Bring one true question; leave the rest at the door. The fog is honest, but it is not gentle — come only if you mean to look.
