Stone Reading is an ancient method of divination performed long before the creation of other forms of prophecy, such as tarot cards. Centuries ago, tribes had no paper or writing utensils, so the shamans would use stones to guide the tribe to food, assist in healing, resolve conflicts, and envision the future.
SaddleBrooke author and spiritualist Karla Trippe will discuss how different stones provide unique spiritual guidance. “As a part of Mother Earth since the beginning of the planet, stones have long been a source of energy and messages from the Universe,” said Karla. She will demonstrate how to answer questions using different types of stones at the Westside Barnes & Noble store at 7325 N. La Cholla Blvd. on March 15 from 1 to 3 p.m. during the Tucson Festival of Books weekend.
“We are very excited to have Karla give this unique presentation to our customers,” said Destiny Jaime Cross, store manager at the Barnes & Noble Westside store. “She brings an unusual perspective to our customers who are interested in the metaphysical, spiritual, and religious genres.”
In addition to demonstrating how to read with stones, Karla will explain and sign her latest book When the Birds Stopped Singing. This fictional story in the magical realism genre is about Caroline Howard, a young girl who experiences a traumatic childhood. In the forests of Colorado, she meets Serena, a wood nymph. Secretly, she instructs Caroline in different spiritual modalities to help the girl as she struggles with abuse, deadly sicknesses, and bullying. Serena introduces Caroline to many aspects of spirituality and takes the girl on journeys to the lower world, where she meets her spirit animals, and the upper world, where she meets her spirit guides and imparts the true wisdom of God and the Universe. With Serena’s help, Caroline uncovers the purpose of her current life’s incarnation and discovers love along the way.
“I am fortunate to be selected to demonstrate one aspect of my spiritual knowledge and showcase my story during the most important weekend for books in the Tucson annual calendar,” said Karla.
In addition to providing clients with stone, Akashic Records, and tarot card readings, Karla is busily writing her next book in the Caroline series.
