Benton Area - Day 6
We were supposed to only stay one night with Alice and Ron, but without too much arm-twisting we decided to stay another day. After a wonderful cooked breakfast, Ron and Alice took us on a tour of their area.

The following photos were taken around Lake Jean.

We then drove up to Eagles Mere. It was once a thriving tourist destination. Now it is a quiet little village that tourists like us enjoy wandering around.

After lunch we headed back to the farm. The day was full of firsts for me. I saw my first hummingbird - it was so tiny. I wanted to take a photo of it, but it was too fast. I saw my first buzzard - three actually. They're quite beautiful.
Casting the Stones
Long before the Tarot became synonymous with fortune telling, Gypsies used the natural world around them to help them see into the troubled hearts of those who came seeking knowledge and guidance.
River stones, gems, crystals, sticks, needles and bones were often used by the dunkerer [dukkerer] or palm reader.
I love using my own set of river stones that I personally hand picked and charged with healing energy.
When I read, I'm not so much telling a fortune, as looking into the heart of the energy surrounding the person I'm reading for. I believe this gives a more accurate insight into what is at the heart of a problem or situation and can provide real, down to earth ways of helping people deal with what life sometimes throws at them.
Casting the stones is something I love and I hope to continue with my readings for as long as life will allow.
