One of my favorite activities is searching for magical stones. Magical stones do not need to be precious or valuable, they only need to catch the eye and remind us of the beauty of the place we found them. These stones can be placed on our altar or in a special place. Stones are magical because they help us feel grounded and more down-to-earth. To do this, you need only walk out into a natural setting on the Full Moon. Be sure it's a place where you feel particularly peaceful and spiritually uplifted. As you walk along your trail, allow your eyes to soften their focus as you begin to look from side to side. As you walk, ask the spirits of the land to help you find a special stone that you can keep. Listen to the voice of the place-it may feel silent but there are many tree, plant, and stone spirits that can communicate with you. Listen to the land attentively and then keep your eyes peeled. You may be asked to walk off the path a short ways. Or you may be led to a part of the land you have never seen before. As you open up your heart to receive communication, you may encounter a small rock that sings out to you. This is the powerful rock that can help teach you the magic of the land you're walking on. Give thanks and take the stone back to your home. Honor it and the land it came from by placing it in a special place in your house.
