Slavica Voglar
Slavica Voglar Petkovic was born in the early ’60s in Belgrade and was initiated, in her mid-20s, into a unique system of divination with stones by her mother-in-law. For generations, this knowledge had been preserved, kept secret and orally transmitted across generations exclusively through the female line of descendants. Shortly after initiating her, her mother-in-law passed away and in the mid-80s, Slavica began her journey into the peculiar world of rocks and minerals. Due to the very intense shamanic experiences she had with the stones, she sought answers to questions she wondered about, such as: Is it possible to change one’s destiny and overcome the laws of karma? She received very clear indications in her dreams that the time had come to transmit her knowledge unselfishly not only to her daughter but to all interested in following the Path of the Stones.
After 30 years, Slavica began to openly teach her knowledge through small workshops. Since 2012, she has been constantly travelling due to the great interest in her teachings in many countries. She has taught workshops in Australia and Singapore but mostly in various European countries. In these degenerate times in which many social and ethical values are disturbed and distorted, Slavica with her ancient knowledge brings order, answers and solace.
Slavica’s work is distinguished by its deep contact with Mother Earth. Stones are like the firm and hard skeleton of planet Earth and the symbolic messages of these 41 small natural stones are deep, soulful and accurate. To start on this spiritual journey, students are encouraged to find their own stones to be initiated by them and work with, the energy of each natural stone.
The Alchemy of the Stones is a method of divination or of perceiving the future but seen from the perspective of the journey of the stones, on a deeper level, it is a profound spiritual path that gives direction to our life. The difference between alchemy of the stones and other methods of divination is that it is a unique formula that functions like a matrix, combining trained inner talent and readily legible indications. The most important difference between all other methods and the alchemy of the stones is that this method establishes a profound and deeply rooted connection between the authentic stones from nature and the person. Every stone has seven characteristics and has its perfect place within the Universal Mandala. During her workshops, Slavica teaches participants the perfect harmony of the connection of each stone with all the other stones.
