And I've finished a PAC reading with these. Really fun experiment.

But I probably won't post that reading anytime soon because there are other posts queuing already 🤔

If you guys have some ideas and suggestions for the reading topics, feel free to let me know.

Testing out a new set of clay cubes for reading. I asked for the description of my Shadow and the cube of Fear landed right on the centre.

So far so good 🫠🌌🐙🐋🦌

About the August reading giveaway✨

Victoria

I like to know what you do as a job (you don’t have to say it if you don’t comfortable). I just love to know what other people do as a career and if they love it or just because of its money.

My question: If I choose to be a traditional painter as a job, how would it be?

Hi Victoria, thank you for participating in the giveaway. Your feedback is much appreciated 💓

What you wish to know about me : I like to know what you do as a job

I'm an interpreter/translator. At first, I chose this job not because I loved it but because it suited my major (I studied foreign language & culture). But as I was working as an interpreter, I found that it's really an interesting job, it's challenging enough and brought in many opportunities for growth, so it was a kind of slow burn romance with my job.

The reading for your question:

If you choose to be a traditional painter, I think you will walk a path that will bring the most satisfaction to your life. This job, or shall I say, this career, will make you transform your self, you will be asked to constantly reevaluate and recreate your identity.

You will face the question of whether to go with your pure creative inspiration, creating a different mark in the stream of things, to stand out or to listen to the general consensus of what is considered beautiful and acceptable, what is popular. The advice is to balance both sides. Listen to the community, there's lots of wisdom and things for you to learn, you might meet great teachers along the way, while also listening to your inner creative force. Respect traditions but bring in new perspective. Standing out but also contributing and expanding the art community.

I see the image of a boat, but it doesn't go along with the current but seems to stop by the riverbank. Sometimes, you might feel stuck with your creativity. That's when you should turn to the small exercises. Instead of trying to create something unique, practising and honing your skill will help you open the door of your creative inspiration wider. I think you already have your skill, now you need to focus more on your inner psyche, your emotions, to understand it, and see it in its full glory with all the inexplicable, mystical aspects.

Concern for money and recognition might be there. It will be a slow and steady road that requires you to have patience and dedication, even when fears and insecurities are creeping in. The material gains and recognition might not be immediate. You will have to put in extra effort, but know that the fruits of your labour will surely come.

Hello love 💕

Your blog literally introduced me to lithomancy and I've been interested in trying since. I practice divination myself and I really resonated with the type of reading you do,

I was wondering how you learned/practiced it and what resources you used to study

Thank you in advance and have a blessed day 💕 💕

Hi, I'm so happy that you're interested in this art, it's not very well-known like the other types of divination. I will highlight some of the essential points of Lithomancy here, hope that it can help you in some way 🌼

HOW DID I START?

Thanks to the power of friendships and dreams lol.

I've had an on and off relationship with Lithomancy for the past 10 years. I was first introduced to this art by a friend. I would read Tarot for her and she would read crystal for me. At that time, I tried to dabble in it a little but didn't connect well with it. Likely due to my lack of knowledge and the right timing.

Then, last year, the year of my Saturn return, I had a dream about going to a shop selling handmade crafts and crystals with my nephew (you could say that he was the embodiment of my inner child in the dream). Not long after that, another friend of mine brought me to an actual crystal shop where I bought my first set of crystals and began to seriously study and practice Lithomancy.

The content is rather long so I put in a "keep reading" to shorten to post. Please click "keep reading" to continue below.

TOOL & MATERIALS:

1. The book:

The only learning resource I had was from the book Lithomancy: the psychic art of reading stones by Gary L. Wimmer and from watching my friend do the readings. The book was a good starter, the author explains several key concepts that are essential for reading stones.

2. The stones:

In the past, I used sea shells, pebbles and even clay to substitute for the crystals. The things I used were beautiful, but it didn't feel right, some were too heavy while others too light. Seeing them together raised no emotion or insight in me.

Only until last year, when I went into a crystal shop for the first time and bought a set of crystals, did I feel a connection to the stones. I chose the crystals purely by hunches with near zero knowledge about the meaning of each crystal. It was like a blind casting, you only saw the candidates but you didn't know anything about them and you didn't see their performance beforehand. You just picked based on their looks lol.

Not to say that you have to use crystals to read, it might depend on each person's aesthetic, way of pattern recognising and interpreting. For me, colourful crystals help me see the connection, the interaction better, you just need to find whatever work for you. Heck, I even made a random chart generator on Excel to read at some point.

There's no fixed number for the stones nor rules for choosing which stone for what. But in general, you would want to choose something with the size that can fit a dozen nicely in one palm of your hand, and with distinct shapes. Avoid rough crystal because they can fragmented easily after numerous tossing.

3. The surface:

Any surface smooth and even enough to allow the stones to fall on without excessive tumbling, the background colour should allow you to see the stones clearly and doesn't give your eyes fatigue after staring at for too long.

In the book, the circle was form by a strip of leather, lace or some similar material with a knot tying the two ends together. I was lazy so I just drew the circle on the fabric lol.

THE READING:

Unlike some other divination methods, which have certain rules of interpretation and meaning that you should follow. Lithomancy is quite free-form. There's lots of rooms for improvisation and creativity.

The method I use for reading is based loosely on the guide in the book with lots of personal modifications. I read the stones like how I read an astrological chart with each stone represents a planet plus other meanings (10 stones for Sun ~ Pluto, 2 for South and North node, 1 for Inner child, 1 for Fear, 1 for Life). The circle is divided into 12 sections, representing 12 houses.

Another time, I use a different set and assign a completely different set of meanings to read for specific topics. You can tailor the stones, the layout to your need freely, as long as you can connect with them on an intuitive level.

In short, it's all about how you assign the meaning to each stone and read the interaction, the relationship between them. Very much like watching a play, a movie where characters interact with each other in different scenes and you get the messages through them.

Well, that's the general idea of crystal reading, if you have more questions or any other insights, feel free to share, I'd love to chat. 💓🐋
