We’re beginning to scratch the surface of “energy“. Stones have long been a source of awe and protection across beliefs and peoples. Muslims even have an ancient stone in al-Ka’ba in Mecca. That’s the fuss. Jewish, Scottish, Tibetan and many other traditions gift stones to graves. Bucketlist Lifehack™: You don’t have to believe to benefit. Remember you could go your entire life without seeing the protruding knob smack in the middle of your face. Literally in front of your eyes. There’s a lesson there. Grab a mirror. Not to mention, stones are so pretty. Like you. There’s zero harm in stone magic. Worse they do is become beautiful additions to your lifetime ambiance. Niyat to enjoy the infinity of wisdom and resources available this lifetime.
Bonne vie, Friends.
