There are many forms of divination when it comes to psychic readings. Readings of runes and tarot cards are also in high demand. Casting stones is an example of less-employed divination techniques that are also successful. Crystals and gemstones are commonly used in these styles of psychic reading, but Runes are often used as well, whilst casting stones are rarely used.
Not many psychics use casting stones these days. This type uses crystals and various gem stones for the process of divination. There are lots of different ways to use stone casting and individual psychics should check out what suits them best.
A psychic reader will usually cast the crystals and gemstones onto a flat surface to help with the readings, this is usually how casting crystals are used in a psychic reading, these stones can be found in stores that sell crystals, and come with a drawstring bag to store them. The majority of psychics who utilize stones normally hand select them to experience how each stone feels and vibrates. When the stone feels ok, they know it is one of the stones they want in their kit.
It is in the best interest to use smaller stones not tiny ones, because they can be lost easily. There should be one side that is flattened. Remember the magic that is connected to each stone when you pick it out.
Tiger Eye is a yellow/orange stone that is associated with light, clarity, warmth, heat, daylight, the Sun, etc. This stone could also be associated with the night, vision, and cats. This all depends on the question that has been asked, or what the subconscious of the reader leads them to.
Amethyst, as with all purple stones, is usually associated with psychic vision, and spirituality. If you are just starting, you may want to purchase one of many books that exist on the topic.
There are a variety of methods for casting crystal stones. A method employed by some psychic readers involves making a cloth on which to throw the stones, with the cloth often decorated with a circle which is itself equally split into four sections.
In psychic readings each of the four parts of the circle is represented by a direction:
The East Represents Air.
States and actions of the mind and the color yellow are associated with air.
The South Represents Fire.
Fire is connected with energy and action and the color red.
Water - West.
Purple and blue stones, emotion and psychic abilities are all associated with the water element.
However, there are lots of different divination methods that can be used to help in psychic readings, and it’s up to the psychic as to choose the ones that work for them.

It’s good to read articles about tarot and the arcana in general. It seems the tarot is getting a lot of attention in these troubled times.
Thans for a good read.
