Southeast or Infusion

In my circle this crystal is a semi-rutilated citrine crystal. The black spikes are at its’ base and the tip is a clear golden crystal The Southeast is marked here – the balance point between spiritual and physical.

Here all physical impurities are infused and cleansed by the golden amber light of Spirit. All spiritual principals or ideas are grounded in physical reality. It is the place of earth or nature-based spirituality and indicates a balance between physical and spiritual directions on our map.

Whole Perfect Stone

The Whole Perfect stone has interior cracks in it which causes it to appear broken. It looks like it is missing a big chunk. In actuality, the surface of it is smooth and complete. It is not broken at all.

Just like the stone, no matter how broken you appear to be to yourself or others, you are in truth whole perfect and complete just as you are.

We Begin in the East

Usually, I start setting up the Stones of Change Medicine map in the East (to my right – which may or may not actually be true East), so we will begin in the East.

This is the spiritual part of the map. It  is the place of birth, where the Great Masters reside, a place of prayer, a place of new beginnings, light, morning,  spring, religion, and spirituality. It is the beginning end of the Blue Road and masculine.

Stones that hold the circle in the East have something to do with spiritual aspects, beings, or characteristics, such as: the light of spirit, joy, truth, destiny, Christ, angels, guides, Goddess, spirit healing, surrender, Buddha, enlightenment etc. When casting stones land in the East, they have to do with spiritual aspects, practice, beliefs or morals.

Any of the ‘negative’ readers are exalted when they land East of the meridian (the middle), so they take on a more refined, and sometimes even positive, meaning.

In the Northeast, stones reflect a philosophical attitude, whereas in the Southeast, stones express a more visceral spirituality.
