Greetings All! The green obsidian is found in only one place that I know of, and it's a very small "mine" discovered by the Aztecs. It was rare even in antiquity, and I believe the site is on protected government land in Mexico. Be very wary when trying to buy a piece. I've seen everything...

Greetings All!
Going "solitaire" since COVID-19 hit, and Imbolc won't be any different!
I so miss my Grove and public rituals!

Gosh, that's like trying to name a favorite child :wink: My first stones were a gift from my Aunt when I was like 5. They were Bloodstone, carnelian, jasper and petrified wood.

Wonder if Evil Ed has an idea, Ed...you out there? Bb, FF Greetings All! Can't say for sure with only the picture, but I'm 85 to 90% sure it is sedimentary.

Greetings Littleone! Take a deep breath, don't freak out, and enjoy the ride! :flyingwitch: You will know when the "feeling" hits, then you will learn when it's a "big" hit! Enjoy it, don't try to force it. Meditate with a stone you are drawn to, or stare into the flame of a smal...

I’ve had a fairy door on my altar for some time & thought of it as decorative. However, earlier in the winter I’d had a whim to remove the cauldron and athame for a while because metal makes me twitchy; so there was no iron or steel on the altar ... and shortly thereafter my home-made wooden pe...
