As someone who loves to pick up random things I find on the floor, this kind of divination seems right up my alley!

I just put together a button divination bag! Each button has a different texture, color, size, etc, and they're a lot of fun to read and interpret.

I do something similar with bottle caps. They are all different colors and most have some kind of symbols on the top of them. One of them I glued a little mirror into. I plan to add a compass to one.

I throw bones and have several trinkets in there. One is a bottle cap.

I just started my set I have in my set: 1. Vintage ballerina cake topper - nostalgia, childhood, inner child 2. Fève/King Cake baby - birth (child or ideas) & goals 3. Mojo Bean - wishings coming true 4. Snowflake Obsidian - shadow work/looking in 5. Dice - numbers/numerology 6. Rabbit jaw - talk/communication, fast talker 7. Groom cake topper - male 8. Evil Eye - protection against outsiders or enemies, a watchful eye 9. Blue wooden cross - health, healing, surgery 10. High john root - conquering obstacles, success, wisdom 11. Snake vertebrae - shedding what doesn't serve me 12. Cowrie shell - ancestors/roots/family 13. Chicken rib - needs, restraint, blockages 14. Carnelian - Motivation, creativity 15. Raccoon Claw

I've been collecting knick knacks for years and I recently cleaned the bones of a possum I found near my home that I've added to the rest of my items and realized that this form of divination is perfect for me.

💚 I’m very exited to build my set ! I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for some items when I go antiquing

Great Idea!!! Thanks.

“I NEED ANSWERS!” 😖 That cracked me up. I shake the heck out of my set too.

In the past few months, I have come across a dice, a miraculous medal pendant, a shell, a feather (ugh rip..), an owl pendant, a wolf charm, tigers eye (small), and a bunch of random little stones that have appeared in my path. OH AND Pennie’s galore!!! Currently on a spiritual journey and opening myself up to new forms of connecting to my guides and ancestors. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. XOXO

I just typed a rant to my friends in private about how the meanings of male / female erase enby folk (like me) literately one second before you mentioned you also leave the options open to assign them/ them. Bless you for this, my frustration around the erasure of my identity is so high I ranted too quickly. I added to my post that you did give this option and thank you, thank you for involving all of us into your practice, it means so much. So much cause so often we are not included, so bless you, thank you.

thank you so much for being inclusive torwards nonbinary people in your video :)

Great information... Items started finding me... the grave yard was where it started... A skeleton key.

Love that you included nonbinary, will be helpful as I'm genderfluid and that comes up a lot so that's actually super helpful. Also I've been interested in bone casting since I was a kid but also have complicated feelings over owning another life's bones/body post death. I went into several of the places I've kept strange trinkets/objects in my house and found myself building the beginnings of a set and considering looking into it further because of this so thanks!

That's great! I loved building the set; it was so much fun finding little things and picking up on the memories associated with the items right away. I completely understand the complicated feelings regarding animal parts. I'm of the feeling that as long as they were acquired ethically, then the usefulness of the bones give the animal's parts renewed purpose. But it is absolutely a complex territory to tread and a very personal choice, and I understand anyone not being comfortable with it.

@Chr0chet_Obsessed

I feel you, the best way I think of it is like you’re giving the animal renewed purpose through using the bones, while honoring the fact that they had to pass in order for you to get the bones in the first place. As long as you’re respectful and they’re ethically sourced I’ve come to find most animal spirits don’t mind :)

I have crystals that represent female and male energy in my bone set. Because all of us have both. So both of those crystals could be one person, two different people, etc.

For a cloth, I use a chamois cloth from Amazon. It's a light color, thin (so folds up small) and is entirely natural. Works great for my set.

I already gathered all my items over the course of about 15 years before even knowing about casting, but I feel like this is why I was randomly gathering them 🤔

Such a useful, illuminating, and clear video! Thank you💫

I like using the backs of dollar store towels as a reading cloth to try out new reading patterns.

Great explanation and lay out. I researched divination of all types. I can say I have one of each I'm genre of tools. Now I'm still learning. I have rune stons, tarot rider deck the original, playing cards for cardomancy and a pendulum. I'm saving for an angel tarot deck and maybe a coin divination. Thanks to u I don't think I have to spend much or anything on this and am almost complete.

Thank you for such an informational video :) I am new to divination but have felt drawn to bone casting/ crow oracle. You reaffirmed exactly what my intuition was guiding me towards. I greatly appreciate it!

Thank you soooo much for all the info !! This really helped a lot 🦦❤️

I saw a TikTok of someone divining some bones and it just strongly called to my soul

Love your hair!

Another fabulous video!👏👏👏

I started divination with bones. I am glad i did because i wasn't tempted to follow any set meanings for my bones. I see many people that assign tarot meanings to the bones, which is fine. For me, I'm happy that my bone meanings came naturally. When I painted my bones they began to look like animals. So i intuitively gave them meanings based on what i thought the new painted animal would represent. For instance, one bone liked like a rhino. It's meaning is confidence because i assume that a rhino is pretty confident. 😂. The best thing i have to offer is to create meanings that are nouns, verbs, and adjectives. It creates sentences when you do your read. Add arrows to help you know which direction to read in.

I do ancestral bone reading and I am so happy that more and more people are learning this.....it is unfortunately a dying art and skill.....hopefully a revival is coming soon as people awaken more and more....💫

Divination has never been my thing, just never vibed with it, but I've had this video in my "Watch Later" for a few months now, and I don't regret watching it. I had considered making a baggie of things I like, and form some sort of divining technique with them. Lucky for me, witches of yore already did a lot of the work, so all I gotta do is gather cool stuff and overthink about what they represent. I'm gonna have a lot of fun with this :) Great video, super glad I watched it!

I've only really known about bone casting for a week or two now, but it sounds like something really interesting and I'd love to get into it! I feel very attracted to this form of divination (even if I haven't really done much, if any, divination before), and I'll definitely be learning more about it and slowly building my set. After my first time learning about it, I actually went to my alter not too long after and found something that I'll definitely be using in bone throwing; a small wooden heart I carved myself.

Thank you! 🙏To be continued! The old me would do anything anyone advised me not to start with as a beginner 🤦‍♂️ but as a beginner Tarot study has been revealing enough so far 🙂

This was a great video, lots of great information, l have a small set I got from Etsy.

i just loved you and your videos

One of my items is a miniature wooden Dutch clog, and I use it to represent family, since a large portion of my family is Dutch and/or from the Netherlands. My cloth is a scarf my friend gave me for my birthday that has all of the zodiac in a large circle.

New subscriber here! My first divination tool was the pendulum, probably because my grandfather taught my mom "divination" with the dousing rods, to find water. Also I've experienced/used tarot. Through meditation I'm practicing with a black mirror that I made. With the "bones" I'm drawn because my mother collected off items that interested her though she did not do anything with them. Needless to say I find myself doing the same.

Iam getting my first bone throwing kit from etsy next month

thanks for explaining. xoxo

Got 4 pigeon bones, 2 of my grandpa's teeth and a 400 year old nail ah and a crab claw

My bones set does include some actual bones lol I have a piece of a deer leg bone and jawbone, both relate to the intuitive nature of deer spirit medicine. I don’t use these in readings but store them on top of my kit as a pure charging energy when the tools are in repose. In my set I use for divination I have the shoulder bone of a turkey vulture, which tells one to be conscious of where they’re putting their energy. I have other various bone pieces; a piece of a possum jawbone, a prehistoric horses tooth, antler tip, buffalo tooth, a smaller wildcat tooth and my own wisdom tooth. These bones all came to me on hikes, were sold by antiquities collectors or were sold by wildlife preserves where they are ethically sourced and used to fund the preserve. Some of my ‘non-bone’ bones lol include a military emblem which relates to structure and/or warrior spirit. I have a broken rhinestone cross which relates to false gurus, false prophets or spiritual manipulation. I have various foreign coins which differ in face value and relate to material matters. Other various items include a plastic baby from a king cake, a shell, a piece of coral, a seed pod and a couple different crystal gemstones, all relating to the properties of that stone. Lastly I have a small figurine which is represents goddess energy and a small silver skull which is a self signifier.

Thanks

Sounds like your amethyst ring also represents transformation and journeys.

I love my sets

I travel often and while I like the idea of using things I find, I have been considering combining six cleromancy items with my brass rune staves. Kinda the same train of thought as combining Oracle and tarot cards in a reading. The problem is I think my self charm (a copper moon coin) and those brass rune staves will inevitably break almost anything other than metal/antler/hard wood. I think even most bones will be damaged.

I actually have four pieces in my throwing collection One means yes, another means no, the other one means maybe, and the last one means rephrase

That's a great way to keep it nice and simple! Kind of like a pendulum, but your strategy sounds like there's much less room for misreading.

I came across bone throwing on a live tiktok. I practice ifa ,we use a chain with 8 coconut shells others use cory shells 🐚, it intrigued me cuz of the same form of casting. Any more links and knowledge?

My mat is just some spider wep fabric that I stitches the edges of to be a bag to 😆

when i started this video i was like, yeah i only wanna work with bones, but then by the end of the video the piece of red sea glass kept on jumping out at me and i instantly knew its meaning was yes

I saw on pinterest a beautiful set with coloured bones. Is this something you would recommend? I would love to do this with my seashells I have in the junkyard.

When reading for others, do you let the reader hold your bones and ask their question and then take them back and cast them?

If doing a single or triple pull, how do you avoid prejudicing the pull since you KNOW what they all feel like and can potentially "pick" the smooth one bc that's what you want to see?

I like to shake the bag instead of mixing the items with my hand, and then I reach straight down in and pluck something out as quickly as possible with just my index finger and thumb. Kind of hard to explain haha but I find this has been the easiest way to prevent feeling around until I find purchase on something or subconsciously choose. You can also try tilting the bag or container and shaking it gently until 3 items fall out.

@markulop

Personally I would see nothing wrong with that. Reflect upon why you chose that particular item right now and why not a different one. Ask yourself why you chose deliberately rather than picking by chance.

Great video! I’ve benefited so much! I have a question tho, how many items do I need to fulfill my set? 15? Based on your description?

@BewitchingBemused

I wouldn't set a specific number. Just be sure you have enough items to cover various themes and possible answers. The more you have, the clearer your reading will be, but you could even just start with two items--"yes" and "no"--and grow it from there.

Funny i came across a reader on facebook that uses bones. I got very curios about it. Was wondering if they were real bones. But from listenig to you and reading comments where theyre talking about animal bones , dont want to use them. Especially as im vegetarian

I would suggest runes or Lenormand as a good gateway to bone reading. They lack the deep deep symbolism of tarot and oracle. Each piece is a small idea or word that is read in combination with the others around it.

Can I make my own bones with polymer clay? Or do those still work.?
