At least that's what I think
they are. I have either found or was given these stones. The reason why I'm
putting them on here is in the hopes that someone will know more about them than
I do and what sort of things I'm supposed to do with them. I've done some
searches over the past few years and have come up with all sorts of good information. I recently discovered that in some shamanic practises they are called khuyas. Each stone has a vibrational energy specifically drawn to me and I to it.
I guess you could say I have a thing for stones but that's what I'm drawn to. I also have a thing for plants and I bet once I figure this out they will work very well together. I've decided to include photos of my favourite stones and say what I
know about each of them. If you have any further advice, please contact me at kweenbee_crafts@hotmail.ca.
Round Rocks
I found all of these. I just like round rocks and for a time I found these in quick succession. The three smaller ones are perfectly round. The small one has a small chip. The largest isn't a perfect round stone but it the most natural of the stones.
Petrified
Wood:
Another found stone
that I've had since I was a kid. It used to be in my parents' garage window for
years and then I put it in my room. It is very heavy for it's size.
Rock with a
Partial Hole:
This was also found,
but I haven't had it for that long. What I do know about rocks with holes is
very limited. What I can say I learnt from that great guy I met in
university. He said that rocks with holes are used during healing ceremonies.
They are placed on the patient and the illness is sucked out of the person
through the hole in the rock. You'll get some foul tasting stuff in your mouth,
usually yellow, which you spit out and the person may be very drained after the
procedure.
Part of becoming a
healer involves new healers to go on a vision quest. Women don't have to
because we can naturally already create life which gives us a bit of a "gimme"
when it comes to becoming a healer. Anyways, part of the vision quest is to
drill a hole into a stone with nothing but sand and a stick. Of course, it's
very time consuming but your vision quest is complete when the rock is done.
This is mine.
Buffalo
Effigy:
This stone was given
to me by a cousin that was very close to me when I was a child. She actually
had two of them and kept one for herself while generously giving me this one. I
was told by her aunt that these are actually vertebra from a dinosaur. These
were found by American Natives and worked into what looks more like a buffalo.
These were used by the medicine men to draw buffalo to the hunters to ensure
successful hunts. This one intrigues me because it so obviously has been shaped
to form a head and it also must be very old. I say this because there a
concretions of small stones stuck to it. It would be, what I believe, is the
second most important stone for my healing.
Stone with a
Hole:
Yes, I have one of
these. I found this one but I don't know when. I already explained about holes
in rocks so I'm not going to state it again. This stone is definitely the most
important one I own. It's made of sandstone and I found it exactly how it
appears in the photos. I've never done anything with it other than scrub the
dirt off.
That's what I got. If you know any
more about what I should do with these or what they mean, by all means, let me
know! I'm putting these on here specifically to get some guidance and every
little bit helps. Thanks!
