A Higher Level


As you might have guessed, I decided to do a reading on this site and Arcana Stones.

My question was:  What will be the effect of the Arcana Stones site on me?  As I recommend in the booklet, I thought about which houses would be most appropriate to the question.  I decided the second house (money) and the tenth house (career/success) would be the most likely houses to pay attention to.

I laid out my Houses Drop Cloth and poured my stones out to the left side of it.  I closed my eyes and picked up some stones and then dropped them from about 2 inches above the center circle.

Here is what I got:

 
(I never said I was a photographer . . .  I'll try to do better next time!)

No stones in the second or tenth houses, so I am especially curious about the houses I DID get.  I like to read from the inside of the circle out.
 
5-Orange Calcite-Hierophant in the center circle near the seventh and eighth houses.  Obviously, I will be working on and spending more time on (sixth house) teaching (Hierophant) people about Arcana Stones.  So it’s not the tenth house (career) but it is the sixth house (work).  Interesting.  So it won’t be a big, life changing success, but it will keep me busy, which is good.  I like working with the stones!  Hierophant in the seventh house (marriage) may be pointing out that this activity has caused me to share more of the ups and downs of my tarot projects with my husband than I usually do.  He is learning what I find so attractive in all this divination stuff!

19-Citrine-Sun on the line between the first and twelfth houses.  Well, there’s no doubt that creating Arcana Stones and sharing them with you has truly made me (first house) happy (Sun).  And it looks like I will continue to be happy about it!  I had previously felt (even though I have wonderful friends and mad scientists to play with me) that I was a bit isolated (twelfth house) with my stones.  I am and will be happy to break out of that by communicating about it all with a wider group!  The line between the twelfth and first houses can also be a place of karma.  I feel strongly that bringing a positive, practical, matter-of-fact attitude to divination can only reap happiness and satisfaction to all involved (all Sun attributes).

14-Rose Quartz-Temperance in the third house.  Speaking of communication, the site will allow me to have a good balance (Temperance) in my communications (third house).  I can blend (Temperance) my desire to talk about my love of divination with my introverted need for me-time.

20-Petrified Wood-Judgment in the eighth house.  Wow.  This project will put an end to (eighth house) the way I currently work with my stones and take me to a higher level (Judgment).  If you’re going to have a stone in the eighth house (endings), Judgment is the one to have (new beginnings)!  Needless to say, this is very encouraging!  I envision more in-depth working with the stones that will bring me a bit more than combining phrases . . .

I look forward to sharing my higher-level readings with you soon!

First Post!

This is a cozy place to chat about Arcana Stones: Tarot Divination with Crystals and to share ideas on how to use it. I have been lucky to have gotten some wonderful ideas already from some great tarot mad scientists. I’ll be sharing them with you here soon!

So please comment with your ideas and questions. Also comment if you’d like me to do an Arcana Stones reading for you that I can share here. (Otherwise, I’m afraid you’re going to get mighty tired of seeing readings for me!)

In the meantime, stay tuned! I'll be posting here shortly with a reading for, yes, myself!
