Welcome back, Witches! This week, we're kicking off Part 1 of our Osteomancy series, diving into the background and history of bone divination. From ancient cultures and ancestral practices to how osteomancy evolved over time, we're laying the groundwork for understanding this powerful and often misunderstood form of divination. So get in, Loser—because we're starting at the bones. Resources 1. Awaken Center for Human Evolution (n.d.). Bone Casting (Osteomancy) and Ancestral Wisdom.
