#stone tool

I recently had the chance to hold a genuine 2-million-year-old stone tool made by Homo erectus in my prehistoric archaeology class. That`s some religious experience indeed.

That one post by @/gallusrostromegalus is so real

Located at Lomekwi 3 a site in West Turkana, Kenya

Carbon dating by volcanic ash shows this site is older than the Oldowan toolkit by 700,000 years.

These tools are older than the genus homo. Scientists are trying to find out which species is responsible for these tools.

Shortly before Darkening Day—the holy day in my tradition that celebrates the Winter Solstice—I discovered what may be the most beautiful stone I've ever found during a river offering.

I was initially drawn to it purely for its size and smoothness, thinking it must be a basalt stone, which are very common in local waterways. However, looking at it later, I was floored to realize that it's not actually a solid black rock, but a darkly translucent crystal filled with patterns. From what I can tell, it's a specimen of agate.

One of the central tools I use in my practice is the Stroking Stone, which I utilize for physical healing. Traditionally, a Stroking Stone should be quartz-bearing and naturally smoothed by water, and as agate is a polymorph of quartz, and this stone was found directly in moving water, those parameters line up perfectly. What's more, though, the way to consecrate a Stroking Stone involves blessing it during the Sabbatical Ceremony of Darkening Day, which is strongly associated with both water and healing. Finding this just days before the one day of the year during which I can consecrate such a tool felt very auspicious to me.

I am excited to get to know this amazing stone and build magical rapport with it over time.

Stone would really appreciate it if Fox and Thorn stopped napping on his couch considering both of them ignored his message asking for help getting it up to his office.

My husband made me yet another amazing piece of Ritual Pottery—this time in the form of a Labyrinth Stone.

Next, I will ritually smoke the clay with an assortment of precious materials—such as Ghost Pipe, Snake Skin, Thorn Apple, and Bee Comb—before anointing the piece with my personally developed Wisefool's Oil and allowing it to bask overnight beneath the silver rays of the Full Moon. Thereafter, I will utilize it in Hedge-Crossing rites.

(While photographing, a spider walked onto the Labyrinth Stone, and I was lucky enough to capture the moment by chance!)
