Day 109
Prompt: What is your birthstone
Hi Nigel,
‘Hiya! I have no idea.
It’s amethyst.
‘You would know that’
Well, yeah, crystals and stones are my thing.
‘Do you have one?’
I have a few. The cat on my altar is amethyst and the big chunky candle holder is too
‘The amethyst being the bits that sparkle in the candlelight?’
Yes.
‘That thing is so cool, now I know why I like watching it flicker’
You could also have jasper as your birthstone
‘I have two?’
Oddly, February has two stones yes.
Which one is jasper?’
On my altar, it is the red figurine by Daddy’s photo
‘Oh, now that is a gorgeous stone. Do I have to choose?’
No, you can use either or both.
‘Good, as I like both of them. I wouldn’t know how to choose?’
Haha! Choosing crystals and stones is where the magic comes in
‘Really?’
I don’t know how else to explain it, so yes
‘So you have to get all izzy whizzy and cast a spell to choose a stone?’
Not exactly. There is no spellcasting involved. The fact is I don’t choose my stones
‘Huh?’
They choose me
‘What? How? It’s not like a stone will jump up and down saying me me me’
It takes practice, but I open up to the stone and try and pick up on its vibrations.
‘So you feel something if you hold it in your hand?’
Yes, and sometimes I don’t even have to handle it
‘Now you better explain that?’
If the vibrations are strong enough, I feel them as my hand nears the stone
‘That makes a weird sort of sense’
You’ll have to drop into my head next time I am at Avebury
‘I don’t need asking twice, I love Avebury’
Okay! See you tomorrow, Nige
