water and stones

Water and stones

I think that i mentioned in an earlier post the theory

that stones were connected with the world of the dead.

That certain types of stone physically change, 

when dampened, makes them sacred.

I believe that there is a type of stone, which turns pink when moistened.

Maybe it is also associated with the way that stones can be

polished or worked to make crystals, which also have power.

Perhaps it goes further back into the beginnings of life itself, 

where the first living cells may have been closer to 

mineral to living. Minerals grow as well as living beings.

That our prehistoric ancestors, at least in Europe, saw

stones as signifiers in the land of the dead, 

led to our use of them as memorial markers.

Perhaps specifically from the use of them for megalithic tombs.

The stone tape theory seems to be important in the lore of the 

supernatural. Have you seen the television short called by that name,

about a team trying to learn about a haunting, 

who try to release the spirit, unleash a darker spiritual force 

lurking behind it, and get sucked in to the haunting itself?

Basically, what if images are recorded in stone? 

Or other materials? 

It could be that there is a great memory store out there somewhere,

and stone could be one of the doorways.

There could be a particular reason why playbacks would happen.
