Divination with Stones
The practice of performing divination by reading stones is
Lithomancy. The practice is older than recorded history, and has been found in almost every culture. The earliest known account comes from Photius, the patriarch of Constantinople, who describes a physician named Eusebius using a stone called a
baetulum. Some scholars think the baetulum may have been a lodestone.
Lithomancy can even be found in the Bible. In the Book of Jonah 1:7, a group of sailors, tossed about in the middle of a horrendous storm, decided to get to the bottom of the matter: "Then the sailors said to each other, "Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity." They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah." Apparently the divination revealed Jonah and /or his God had brought bad luck to the sailors, so they tossed him overboard. Fortunately, as we know, he was swallowed by a leviathan, and regurgitated on land forty days later.
You can practice divination with stones with marks inscribed upon them, such as runes, or with crystals cast upon a surface, which is a very simple method with which to begin. We'll start with an easy method using three stones.
First, you have to select your stones.
Collecting your Oracle Stones
You'll need three stones, one white, one black, and one brown. These can be simple stones you collect on the beach, on walks, or from a shop, but they should meet certain requirements. The stones should be round, flattish, and no more than an inch in diameter. They can be slightly oval in shape. You may prefer to use crystals of various colors. Carry your stones in a small bag so you won't lose them.
These stones can be used in a simple divination method similar to casting lots. Let the brown stone represent you. Concentrate on a question that can be answered "Yes" or "No."
Shake the three stones, and toss them upon a soft surface from a distance of about a foot.
If the white stone lands closest to the brown stone, the answer is yes. if the black stone lands closest, the answer is no.

Thirteen Things Not to do on Friday the Thirteenth!
Friday the Thirteenth falls on the second week of May, so here is a list of thirteen things to avoid on Friday the Thirteenth.
1. You must not cut your FINGERNAILS. If you do, you'll suffer from TOOTHACHE.
2. You must not SNEEZE. If you do, you'll create sorrow for yourself in the near future.
3. You must not use a BROOM to clean your house, as this will create bad luck.
4. You must not do any SEWING. You will die before wearing it.
5. You must not start a trip. You will suffer misfortune if you start to TRAVEL on this day.
6. It is bad luck to pay any debts on Friday 13th.
7. If you LAUGH on this day, you'll cry on Sunday.
8. If you spill SALT on this day, you'll have an argument with someone.
9. You must not learn anything new. If you do, you'll receive another wrinkle on your face.
10. You'll have toothache if you wash your HANDS and face, unless you dry your hands before your face.
11. You must not cut anyone's HAIR. You'll become involved in other people's problems if you do.
12. You must not plant anything in your garden. Anything you plant on Friday 13th will die.
13. It's a waste of time to go FISHING on this day, as you'll catch nothing.
14. This final one is to avoid triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number thirteen): It is bad luck to roll over in bed on this day.
