It consists of throwing or picking up stones to interpret an omen, predict the future or seek information on a specific topic. Divination with stones is an ancient art. This type of divination is often associated with shamanism throughout the world. Let’s see below what it means and what it consists of.

What are it and its concept?

Stone divination or lithomancy is very effective as it offers insight into many different topics and reveals how they interrelate and manifest on a weekly basis.

The patterns formed by the Stones clearly outline – in symbolic form – the person’s current situation, future situations, challenges, opportunities, and changes that come into play.

Also, they always reveal the “light at the end of the tunnel”, so it never leaves a person without a wealth of knowledge and inspiration, regardless of the situation. These readings should never replace the free will established by God. Rather, they act as guides to help people exercise their free will, benefit from their situations, connect with Universal Forces, and see the complexities and challenges they face as opportunities for empowerment, happiness, and peace.

Let’s see, next, what this divination with stones consists of and its interpretation.
