Foundation

Ace of Stones 

The primal rock from which all can be measured. Cup and ring = emergence of life. A still and stable point from which to plan and measure your life. 

Mythically the foundation stone means the first dry land on which life could begin. Also the first created form, matter, the mother stone, the firm ground from which one can begin one’s journey and measure the eight directions, the birthing ground, the navel stone. 

The Labyrinth is the place where your journey begins; the first steps; the cup and ring marks represent the source, your emergence into this world. 

A new stability enters your life.
