We take them for granted but, if you spend time studying stones and you trace the markings in them you can trace a persons life from birth onwards. It can sometimes take awhile but it is a worthwhile pursuit.
I discovered this quite by accident. Often a stone would be left sitting on my kitchen windowsill for months. I would pick it up and see if I could get anything from it. Then one day it would just come to me, it would be the most obvious thing in the world. How could I not have noticed what the marking meant.
So began my life as a reader. I read Tarot of course and I enjoy reading the cards. The one thing I remember when I was buying my first tarot deck was the guy telling me to “be sure you really like the deck”. I searched but didn’t see anything I liked, I almost picked one up but he advised me “no don’t just buy any deck come back next week and I will have more to choose from. One week later I found and fell in love with my deck, which I have been using for the past twenty years.
Stones are just a little different. Pickup the ones you love and then if you find a stone you really don’t like at all, go for it. This stone will have a very strong meaning for you. People say oh it must have a bad meaning, in fact it can be quite the opposite.
Stones heal emotions and help with ailments. They are just like people you have to get to know them, befriend them and let them speak to you.
So pickup a stone, make friends with it, watch as it moves through your life, seek out its meaning. You will be surprised!
