Here I have updated an ancient Old Testament device that was used as an oracle to receive revelation and truth. This act of using stones as mediators for gaining knowledge has been updated by scientists who, instead of looking through the stones, look into stones and determine a host of information: it’s origins, it’s present state, and the history of the place in which it was found. My personal set of interpreters are made from obsidian and amber that I collected from the stony beaches of Hirsholm Island off the northeast coast of Denmark.
