Additionally sometimes coins are left as a down payment for the deceased a promise to buy their comrade a drink in the afterlife.
Marbles left behind in a grave.
With regard to history all and i mean all rabbinic comments are suspect.
Once i had not found a marble in quite a while and was mulling that over while walking my dog.
It s nice to visit the grave and see the stones are still there and shows the person isn t forgotten.

Marbles have not been particularly meaningful for me in the past so i was curious as to why they showed up in my meditation.
I find marbles too.
We are an ancestor friendly people.
I would also like to do that.
Then i read the part in your story about how merle said that your marbles symbolized gathering insight and making progress towards your goals and everything clicked for me.
We left the stones at the grave site.
Identifying rare marbles requires playing with the big boys by reading their books attending marble shows and shopping where you can engage in.
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.
I have no idea what it means.
Thanks for the comment.
These maybe our source people for our spiritual customs.
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.
Collecting marbles is a game and the person with the greatest skill is the winner.
