Not on the shelf right now — call and they will tell you when it lands.
What this is
A stone. Kept on the altar or carried — one of the few things here that stays with you rather than being used up.
The practice
What this tradition does with an object like this — how it is used, not a promise about what follows.
How it is used
- 1Kept where it will be seen or carried where it will be touched.
- 2Cleansed the same way anything carried is cleansed: smoke, or a cleansing water.
Working it properly
The craft under the instructions — direction, count and order. This is the part that is normally only said across a counter.
- Carried where it is touched or set where it is seen. Practitioners are blunt that a stone in a drawer is a stone.
- Cleansed the way anything carried is cleansed — smoke, or a wipe with a cleansing water. Not everything on this shelf takes salt or water, so the tradition defaults to smoke.
- Kept to one purpose rather than moved between workings.
What completes the working
A working is a ladder, not a single object. Each rung below says what the addition does, and shows what Yeye's Botanica carries for it.
the smoke it is cleansed in
the bag it is carried in, where it is not meant to be worn openly
What people get wrong
- Leaving it in a drawer, which is the same as not having it.
