Scott Cunninghams Stone spell

Just as semiprecious and precious stones have been used for a wide
variety of magical purposes, so too have plain, ordinary stones.
Nothing in nature is without its magical uses.

This feature contains minor rituals utilizing any kind of stone you
find in your backyard, on the beach or anywhere out in nature.

In these spells, use your powers of visualization and concentration
to direct the energy through the stones. Here, the rocks are usually
focal points or tools that add little power of their own. Some of
them are amulets and talismans of a kind.

That's not to say that a piece of granite made up of quartz,
hornblende and various other minerals doesn't contain its own powers,
but such stones lack focused energy. Since this is the kind most
needed in magic, it is more difficult to work with them than with
amethyst and carnelian. Therefore, in the simple spells that follow,
don't worry about which stone to use. Take whatever is at hand.

PROTECTION, The Five Pebbles

Go to a moving brook or stream. While standing in the water and facing
downstream, remove five small pebbles from the stream bed As you do
this, visualize your need for protection.

As your hand closes over the pebbles, see them beaming out protective
energies. Just as the pebbles are hard and have weathered for eons,
so too will they strengthen your protective shield.

Now carry them at all times for protection. If you wish, place them
in a small pouch or a fold of cloth, or incorporate them into some
form of jewelry.

DIVINATION, Black and White:

Spend a few minutes gathering stones. Half should be dark and half of
alighter color.

Place them on the ground before you. Ask your question or keep it in
mind.Close your eyes and jumble the stones around for a few seconds;
then, with your left or receptive hand, remove one of the stones.

If you picked a dark stone, the answer is yes or the prospects
favorable. If light, no.

LOVE, Stone Love Spell:

Go to a place that contains many water-worn stones. Look for a large,
flat rock while visualizing yourself being involved with the perfect
mate.

On this rock mark with red ink two intertwined hearts. As you do
this, keep the visualization in mind.

When you are finished, bury the stone in the earth in an uncultivated
place.

A STONE-ATTRACTION SPELL:

Take any stone. Hold it in your projective hand for several minutes
while visualizing your need.

Flood the stone with your need and with your emotional involvement
with your need. Send power out from your body to the stone. Use your
visualization to see it streaming into the rock.

Then throw the stone into running water. It is done.

A STONE-BANISHING SPELL:

To be rid of diseases, unhealthy habits, hurt feelings and any other
disturbing manifestations of life, hold any stone in your projective
hand and visualize the problem in detail.

Visualize the part of you that is to be banished as entering the
stone. See the problem and its causes leaving you and infusing the
stone.

When you can send no more energy into it, throw the stone onto a hot
fire, throwing with it the causes and manifestations of your problem.
Stand back âs the stone may explode.

If you have no fire or don't wish to have rocks exploding, throw the
stone into the air or into water, thereby releasing the problem
causing energy from your body.

It is done
