New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Stones are of the Earth. They are created, demolished, and rebirthed in geological cycles that last millions of years. Stones are the Earth's true elders: use them to create the ultimate green altar.
Earth: Metamorphic stones are created through time and pressure. A marble or granite stone will represent enduring strength on your altar. Air: Pumice is ejected through volcanic action into the air. Once cooled, it's feather light and honeycombed with minuscule air pockets. Fire: At one time or another, all stones are shaped by fire, whether through volcanic eruption or by heat and pressure deep below Earth's surface. Look for a piece of dense, black basalt, or a bit of pahoehoe lava. Water: Petrified wood is formed of wood, water, and time. Set a piece on your altar to invoke water's transformation. Spirit: A pure quartz crystal-beautiful, hard, and capable of conducting energy-speaks of the Earth's mystery and power. |
