Yes/No Diving Stones

Divining Stones:

This is a simple to make and  use. To obtain yes or no answers to yes or no questions. A basic, easy fun for of divination.

Obtain three stones. a YES stone, One of a bright color (white) . Another, a NO stone, of a dark color (black), a third stone (the Indicator) should be unusually colored so that it can be easily differentiated from the others. ( I use a red stone).

When you need an answer to a yes/no question, roll the stones in your hands like dice, mentally asking your question, blow on them, whisper to them the question, whatever it is you "feel" you need to do then throw them onto a flat surface, preferably on the ground. A table will do.

When the stones have stopped, determine the answer by their positions. If the "yes" or white stone is closer to the indicator, that is the answer. If the "No" or black stone is closer tot he indicator then that is the answer. If the stones are equally apart there is no answer. Try again by rephrasing or asking a different question or try again at a later time. Your choice. Sometimes you just know when to wait until a better time. Or better yet, roll the stones and ask if you should try again. It's lots of fun !

The stones should be kept in a small bag of their own in a protected place and used for no other purposes.

I occasionally leave mine out to "charge" them in the sunshine or out at night when there is a Full Moon.

Medicine card: Ant

My Birthday was yesterday. I have a theory about birthdays, perhaps one day I will share it. I have also been pondering collective energy transference. Kind of like, positive thoughts create positivity. All kind of a moot point.

I have been looking up and considering walking the Lewis and Clark Discovery Trail. Again, all depends on where I will be and what I will be doing and when I will be doing these things that I am doing. (??) Most of the time, I am not even sure where I will be in a week. That is to far in the future for me to figure out. I don't particularly like feelings of uncertainty, I would think by now, after so long atime of living in uncertainty, that I would be used to it.

New Medicine Card: ANT (patience, teamwork) - It is time to plan, build, and serve the community. Know that what is yours will come to you through consistent effort and willingness to work for the long term good of all involved. Practice diligence and patience. Industriousness will pay off in the long term.

Medicine Card : Bear (introspection, within, protector)

Day 4 Medicine Card : Bear (Introspection, Within, Protector) As leader of the animal kingdom you must think things through clearly in order to make wise decisions. Be willing to go into the darkness to face your fears with the calm, gentle strength of Bear to emerge again into life. Show feelings through action, not empty words. Discrimination and Justice. Pull within for a vision.

Rune Sets

This is a set of Runes I made from some deer bone ribs that I found while out on a walk at a local nature park. I've never been very good at reading or casting stones but it is something I have always wanted to learn. Even if I am not very proficient at interpreting a casting, I am learning the meanings of the Runes and learning to apply a Rune a Day drawing to my daily life.






I ask myself everyday.. "What can I do today to make my Life Magickal ?"

New Direction

Some Updates:
I'm Lost

Trying to decide to change the direction of the way things are going, Or rather not going. cause well, things are not going at all. There's and idea I have, my belief in this idea is strong, but... there's not many (if any)people I know that truly think such a thing is possible. Yea yea yea, I hear all the time. "I would if I could". So it's pretty much an idea all my own and despite the fact that I hear that these people are interested in joining this idea. Once it is complete, with no help to make it a reality. Lost my train of thought on this other than I get very frustrated at times contemplating and trying to figure out how to make this idea a reality. Enough about that rant.

Direction I am considering taking this blog. My philosophy of Less is more, make what you need or make do. Posting the ideas that I have, beliefs, philosophies, observations, and a lot of the "primitive", "simple" ways of living. self sufficiency web links, files, e-books and other interesting alternative ways of living life.

peace and stuff - Jeff
