​​————

Before engaging with the intentions or properties of stones, it's essential to first recognise and honour that the earth and her varying minerals have held a profoundly sacred place in ancient and indigenous cultures through out the world and history. People have always looked to the earth for guidance and support and she has lovingly offered us such. 

The passing down of our Earths wisdom is a valuable and beautiful thing that we must tread lightly on in modern times, especially those of us that are white. With gratitude, receiving what is offered and respecting what is not from indigenous peoples. We must recognise the cultures that have and continue to relate to the earth in sacred ceremony and spirituality. A great deal of our understanding of the earth and how we relate to her has been passed down and is intrinsically connected to our global ancestors. I invite you to consider these people and their stories as you explore what a stone can offer you in the here and now.
