I am in love with gemstones and rocks. I started working with them as an extension of my interest in NeoPaganism (aka reconstructed tribal practices) in high school. I noticed that when I carried a stone in my pocket, certain things would happen more quickly. For instance, when I carried an obsidian arrowhead in my pocket, I told the brutal truth without regard for people's emotions! (Hence, I always use obsidian with another stone to soften the energy a little.)
A friend of mine from high school shared with me that whenever he would talk with me about a problem, I would pull a stone out of my pocket and give it to him, telling him that it would help him. I don't remember that! Which means to me that my duty to be a bridge between the stones and humans supersedes my conscious mind. I do this now when I give people information relevant to their situation at hand. I go into a slight trance state and begin to give them direct instruction, most of which I do not remember but which I feel is encouraging, loving, and to the core of the issue.
My relationship with stones has gotten deeper over the last 15 years. My connection with stones deepened when my niece began to demand answers from me about all things metaphysical. I told her I didn't know the answers to her questions and she accused me of lying to her. I was. But I was too afraid of being persecuted as a witch to share with her the depth of knowledge that I had tapped into. I was also afraid of my power. It was during this time that I started to have swollen lymph nodes while I was around her and wearing her lapis lazuli pendant. I was so terrified of sharing visions and emotions with her that I was keeping it locked inside. I was literally choking myself with the terror of using my voice to share this information!
My niece taught me that I could give my intentions/desires directly to the stones and they would help me. She also taught me about the importance of clearing stones because they are so eager to take negative energy away from us! I started to hold stones in my hands, close my eyes, put my attention on the stone, and feel! That's when the doors really began to open!
Using this simple practice, I felt the stones engage directly with my entire energy field and I began to direct the flow of the energy exchange. The information that passed between us helped me make decisions at the mundane and spiritual levels about the direction of my life. During this time, I began to have direct communication with other beings, specifically archangels and faeries. I used the stones to heighten my natural gifts and as a portal of protection so that I was relaxed enough to receive responses clearly.
My spiritual growth and personal achievements have been a direct result of my evolving relationship with rocks and gemstones. I would love to share some of their magick with you!
