Relax and make yourself comfortable, close your eyes and focus on your breathing deep breaths in and out.... visualise the real world disappearing..
As your world dissipates around you, find yourself at the entrance to a cave. Outside there is a fire burning with a large cauldron on a stand hanging above it.
You make your way to the fire and begin to take in the delicious aroma wafting from the pot.
Surrounding the fire are blankets and cushions. As you reach the fire you hear the sound of movements from within the cave. Then an old crone appears from the cave mouth carrying a bunch of dried herbs. She looks up and greets you with a nod and invites you to join her, gesturing for you to sit on the cushions surrounding the fire.
As you make yourself comfortable, she drops the dried herbs into the cauldron and gives it a stir, creating more of the delicious scent to fill the air. She then sits herself down next to you and stares into the flames of the fire. After a short while she turns to you and asks "what are you searching for, child?"
You ponder her question for a moment an then answer her...
She sits quietly for a few moments and then gives you her answer. You reply to her with any other queries you have, she responds with her thoughts.
When you have finished talking she reaches into her pocket, draws her hand back out and hands an item to you. Take it and thank her. When you are ready, stand up and thank the crone.
Make your way back to this reality, stamp your feet and wriggle your fingers. What did the crone gift you with and what meaning does it have for you?
