Tarot Tuesday - Wishing Stones, a Poem


Wishing Stones

An old, frail woman sits in a rocking chair.
Rocking slowly, gently, back and forth.
The floorboards beneath her creek softly.
She is dressed in black.
Hair held back with two hair clasps.

A pouch dangles from her arm.
A drawstring wrapped around her wrinkled wrist.

There is a rustle heard nearby.
A small girl appears.
Dress in white dress, with small imprints of daisies on it.
Hair tied into a braid.
Timidly she inches over to the woman.

The woman unravels the drawstring from her wrist.
She opens the pouch, and five small stone fall into her lap.

Each stone is unique in its own way.
Different sizes, shapes and textures.

The little girl is face to face with the woman.

She hands her each stone carefully, and with great care. She holds 
the stone and with each stone she tells her wish for the little girl.

The first stone with the inscription STRENGTH
My wish is that you have the strength to endure the past, the present, the future. 
To fight all the evil and conquer it in the name of good.

Next comes CREATE
My wish is for you to create memories. Some of them good and 
some of them bad. To even life out. And that each bad memory you 
create only equals more memories that are good.

Then DREAM
My wish is that your dreams come true in your life, as well as the people around you.

Next MAGIC
My wish is that your days been filled with magic, both unreal and
real. Both created by you, and created by other people around you.

Finally WISH
My wish is that these wishes as well as many others to come your 
way. Also, that each wish is better then the last one.

The little girl admires the stones.
The woamn opens the pouch and picks eachs tone one at a time,
and places them in the pouch.
The woman hands the pouch to the little girl and says "For safe
keeping"

The little girl smiles an runs out the door.
Giggles are heard.
The woman continues to rock.


I came upon this poem and so dearly love the story and message behind it. It inspired me to create the "Wishing Stone" tarot spread. I hope you enjoy the poem, and are inspired to ask Spirit for guidance with your next wish.

This is a fun spread to do if you already have a "Wishing Stone". If you don't, now is a great time to out and spend some time with self and find one. No rules. Wherever your heart leads you, is where you must go. Specialty store... the riverbed... even your own backyard. Once you've connected with your wishing stone, hold it in your hand and think of a wish you'd like to manifest. Place the stone in front of you, and pull five cards, laying each one above your stone like a crown.

           3
    2    ...    4
1...  Stone ... 5

Spread Interpretations

1. What you will need to let go of in order to move forward with making your wish come true.
2. What you need to be open to in order to create space for your wish to come true.
3. How helping others can help you to fulfill your own dreams.
4. How Spirit is already helping you achieve your wish. 
5. The outcome of your wish. How your wish will most likely manifest itself in your life.

Love and Light,
