I looked down and there was a giant glass marble.
Marbles left behind in a grave.
Thanks for the comment.
I would also like to do that.
No matter what the original intention of the coin leaver may be it seems clear that a coin left on a headstone is a symbol of remembrance and respect.
We left the stones at the grave site.
Marbles have not been particularly meaningful for me in the past so i was curious as to why they showed up in my meditation.
Winning at marble collecting requires practice and knowledge and is not child s play.

I have no idea what it means.
I find marbles too.
These maybe our source people for our spiritual customs.
Additionally sometimes coins are left as a down payment for the deceased a promise to buy their comrade a drink in the afterlife.
We are an ancestor friendly people.
With regard to history all and i mean all rabbinic comments are suspect.
Collecting marbles is a game and the person with the greatest skill is the winner.
It s nice to visit the grave and see the stones are still there and shows the person isn t forgotten.
The pebble may go back 6000bc years to a community in turkey that left pebble size figures of mom and pop at the grave sites.
I have found over 30 marbles over the past 6 or 7 years.
