Crystal gazing, also known as scrying, is the act of gazing into a crystal or similar reflective object, in order to gain insight or information about a situation. The antonyms for crystal gazing are skepticism and doubt. While crystal gazing is often associated with mysticism and divination, skepticism casts a critical eye on supernatural claims and believes in the power of evidence-based reasoning. Doubt refers to uncertainty or lack of confidence in a particular belief, and can be useful in preventing gullibility or being taken in by false claims. Both skepticism and doubt are valuable tools in scientific inquiry, helping to ensure objective truth.
