Welcome to my BLOG! I hope to use this space from time to time to write about some of my favorite stones, and what the stones suggest about people who are drawn to specific stones. It is also my hope to use this section to write about some of the areas and venues where I will be teaching, leading workshops, or giving “Stone Readings” in the coming months. But first, a little bit about me …
Because of my passion for stones, and the interchangeable nature of stones and people in my readings, I have come to be known as “The Stone Lady.” I am the creator of “Stone Readings,” and would like to give you a little background on me, how “Stone Readings” evolved, and what a typical reading with “The Stone Lady” entails.
I apprenticed with well know psychic Louisa Poole (artist, inspiration, and creator of the Merryday Tarot) during the early 1980s. I have studied Tarot, Numerology, Palmistry, Earth Magic, Sense Awareness, and other traditional and unconventional “tools of the trade.” I was one of a handful of people across the United States in the late 1970’s who were involved in what was described as the “mission of the stones” and in a “waking up the stones” project.
In an effort to understand and appreciate the stones, I followed a routine of selecting a stone, meditating on it, recording the meditation in a journal, carrying the stone with me, sleeping with the stone under my pillow, attuning to the stone’s personality, immersing myself in the stone’s energy, becoming acquainted with the stone’s individuality, and repeating the procedure day after day, week after week, until I felt I knew the particular stone. I would then select a different stone and start over again. I worked with the stones in this manner for a few years, gathering and assimilating unique information and perspectives about the stones and the people who are drawn to various stones.
When anyone came to my home, they saw stones and crystals everywhere. Invariably someone would pick up a stone or crystal to examine it. I automatically began to babble about some of the things I knew about the stone or crystal they had selected. The person would look at me in surprise and say something like, “Nobody knows that about me!”
They did not seem to realize that I had not been talking about the person – I’d been talking about the stone! Gradually I began to see that “Human Nature” and “Mother Nature” were closely related. Because I “knew” the stone and the stone’s energy, I was able to attune to the individuals who were drawn to a particular stone. Eventually, “Stone Readings” evolved from my love of stones and love of all things psychic.
In an “in-person” reading, you would have an opportunity to select some stones with your eyes open and some stones with your eyes closed. The theory is that because I know the stones, and realize you would pick stones that are similar to you, I would be able to attune to you through your selections. In a telephone “Stone Reading,” I may close my eyes, concentrate on you, then physically and intuitively attune to a stone or crystal that is closely aligned with you. Your “Stone Reading” will talk about “your” stone, your unique situation, and some of the things your selected stones suggest about you.
ROCK ON!
