The Holystone in the photograph above was lifted out of the ocean deep by myself minutes before sunrise on June 21st. As I held it before my eye and gazed through its portal I instantly witnessed the emerald green ray moments before the sunrise began. Somewhat mesmerized by its effect I was elated to suddenly see the first rays of the sun ascending, perfectly framed through the portal. This was an experience I had long awaited as a witch. A few minutes after this, the Sacred Text was unveiled to me, fifteen feet from where I stood presently in the ocean.
