The Bone Garden (Divination Through Sacred Remains)

Take a Stroll Through the Bone Garden

The Bone Garden: Divination Through Sacred Remains is a comprehensive guide to the art and practice of osteomancy, or divination with bones. This full and complete guide to bone reading covers all of the basics you'd expect, such as the history of osteomancy, but also explores a broader range of more serious, thought-provoking topics like the spiritual ecology of death and the ethical and legal considerations of sourcing and preparing bones for use. Although this book is certainly appropriate for readers with a causal interest in broadening their knowledge on other forms of divination outside the more mainstream techniques, witches and pagans will find the sections on magically awakening bones and creating sabbat bone ceremonies particularly fascinating. If you have a flair for the macabre and aren't afraid to touch death, then The Bone Garden will educate, challenge, and empower you to be a stronger diviner.

There is a poetic beauty in the act of using bones and other remnants in magical work. While the book certainly doesn't encourage harming any living creature, the fact that magical individuals continue to find sacredness in what many would consider worthless points to our timeless connection with the natural world and its inhabitants. It's time to cast those bones and discover hidden truth and mysteries.
