I have been thinking about this and I still say a dragon or something to do with dragon maybe protecting a tarot deck, one crystal I keep getting is a quartz, also a kinda of round stone that has blue and tan(or light yellow), for it's colors, that I felt from the first time I saw the picture!!!

starfire :dragons::

White crystal, a piece of wood.

red ball of yarn and a flute... yeah, sounds dumb even as I type it, but what the heck...

OK, all! It's time for the big reveal!

I was going to respond to answers in order of appearance, if they had correct aspects of any sort. But this one has GOT to come first, because you are exactly right! This is the box in which I keep my working Tarot deck, and a piece of Moldavite (in a small plastic bag so its sharp edges won't touch the cards). DING DING DING, we have a winner!



This is the Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti. I've had his particular deck, and I have worked with it regularly, since 2003 or 2004. Moldavite, meanwhile, is a very high-energy stone, and among its properties are the bringing of hidden things to the surface. Its energies have helped me to not beat around the bush when giving a reading (as we are all tempted to do, sometimes, when we're seeing something that we suspect the recipient won't want to hear). So while I'm not so blunt as to fail to consider the recipient's feelings, I am more direct now that I've added Moldavite to the reading equation.

I don't have any vessels nor mythical creature figures in the box, and the Gilded Tarot doesn't depict mythical creatures. But it DOES depict some things that I have noticed appearing in the answers, so I will try to address all of those. I am uploading images now, so I can add them to forum posts.

Not so dumb, as it turns out. The most recently-acquired metaphysical tool that I got, a few weeks ago, is a flute made out of green jade and decorated with a Fu Lion, a Dragon, and a Phoenix. While it's not in the box, it HAS been front-and-center around here very recently.

Here is a pic of it with my most-used wand, taken for a "Show your magickal tools" thread.

This is why practice is good. You don't have to hit a bull's eye to hit the target itself. This answer is relevant to this household, and my magickal practices, even though it's something other than the box contents.

Heard 'field, stone, mouse' then without realizing it patupairhe patupairhe patupairhe.. over and over and over again (making it a very strong impression) until I noticed that's a name of a fairy entity: accurately Patupaiarehe.

It's possible I'm picking up on something entirely different because my issue is, with this kind of reverse focus that I am often scattered.

One of the items in the box is a Moldavite piece, so that's a stone, and there are a few instances of mice or rodents in the Gilded Tarot deck. For example:

The critters in the Gilded Tarot all tend toward being cute, and there are multiple instances of rodents in the deck (mice, a rat, a squirrel). Here's another mousie:

Definitely a stone, as there's a Moldavite in the box.
