Okay, here’s my blog post about my experience with stone divination:
So, I’ve been messing around with this whole “reading the stones” thing, you know, stone divination. Sounds kinda woo-woo, right? But I figured, hey, why not give it a shot? I’m always up for trying new ways to, like, get in touch with my intuition, or whatever you wanna call it.
Getting Started
First, I gathered some stones. Nothing fancy, just some smooth, different-colored ones I found in my backyard and on a walk near the creek. I didn’t want anything too big or too small – gotta be able to hold ’em comfortably, right?
Then I cleansed them. I just ran them under some cold water and visualized all the, like, built up energy washing away. I guess some people use sage or moonlight, do what you feel.
The Actual “Reading” Part
Next, I found a quiet spot in my house, lit a candle (because ambiance, duh), and laid out a small cloth. I closed my eyes, took a few deep breaths, and tried to clear my mind. I was trying to set my intention. This is the hard part.
I’d been feeling kind of stuck about a decision with work, so I focused on that. I asked, basically, “What do I need to know about this situation?” I formulated a simple question, and held it in my mind.
With my eyes still closed, I mixed the stones around in my hands, then grabbed a handful and dropped them onto the cloth. I opened my eyes and just…looked.
Making Sense of It All
Honestly, at first, it just looked like a pile of rocks. But then I started noticing things. Like, how close some stones were to each other, which ones were touching, which colors were dominant. A dark stone was completely surounded by lighter stones, isolated.
-
Two stones that were almost identical in shape were right next to each other – maybe that meant partnership or collaboration?
-
A really bright, almost white stone was off by itself – I interpreted that as needing to embrace some alone time or independent thinking.
-
Most of the stones I picked were a light brown, it’s a practical color. This might mean I need to take things slow?
My Takeaway
I wrote down my observations and my gut feelings about what they might mean. Did it give me a clear-cut “yes” or “no” answer? Nope. But it did give me some new perspectives. It helped me see the situation from different angles and think about aspects I hadn’t considered.
I thought about what I wrote down for an hour or two, and then I made a decision that felt right. And now I’m acting on that decision.
Will I do it again? Probably. It was kinda fun, and even if it’s just a way to tap into my own subconscious, it’s a pretty cool tool. I’ll probably keep trying and see where it takes me. Might be nothing, but hey, you never know!
