2026-02-01 15:49 PM PhyllisMargretGabor teaching a whole generation about raccoon penis bones
2026-02-01 15:49 PM PhyllisMargretGabor lol
2026-02-01 15:49 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo Before determining meanings and interpretations, it can be helpful to focus on developing a relationship with a bone set. This practice is intended to help the bones "speak" more clearly by ensuring they are properly met before readings begin.
2026-02-01 15:49 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo When first putting together or purchasing a bone set, there is often an urge to jump straight into reading. Well, this is understandable, take time to establish connection beforehand can the bone to speak clearly. This practice offers one way to do that.
2026-02-01 15:49 PM CatherineYronwode Developing a relationship with the bones you will read.
2026-02-01 15:49 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo If you have an ancestor altar or space where you venerate those who came before you, this is a good place to perform this work. However, having a dedicated altar is not required. The connection to one's ancestors is not dependent on space and can be performed wherever you are able to work.
2026-02-01 15:50 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo Set out a white candle anointed with an oil such as spirit guide or psychic vision and have a glass of water as well. You may choose to burn incense, such as Frankincense and Myrrh.
2026-02-01 15:50 PM TheMangoWitch @CatherineYronwode I can confirm the raccoon baculum make good Christmas and birthday gifts.
2026-02-01 15:50 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo Layout the pieces of the set in front of you on a white handkerchief and perform a light cleansing. Keep the method gentle and avoid harsh methods. Diluted Florida water may be lightly sprinkled on the items or a light hyssop tea to cleanse the items.
2026-02-01 15:50 PM PhyllisMargretGabor lol @TheMangoWitch
2026-02-01 15:51 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo Begin by becoming aware of the many stories and lives that led to this moment of you being here now. With that awareness, choose one piece and hold it in your hands. Bring your attention to the idea that you did not arrive here alone – that your ancestors and the ancestors of this item in your hand are connected or one.
2026-02-01 15:51 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo There is no need to analyze this awareness; simply recognize it.
2026-02-01 15:51 PM CatherineYronwode The Mango Witch speaks TRUTH. Those bones are powerful.
2026-02-01 15:51 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo Set the piece down and take the next item. As each item is held, widen your awareness to include your people, the pieces you already met, and the one currently in your hand are one.
2026-02-01 15:51 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo Continue through the entire set in this way, including bones, roots, shells, stones, and non-bone items. Each piece is approached in the same manner.
2026-02-01 15:51 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo This practice is not a history lesson, nor is it about forcing a feeling. It is an opportunity to sit with awareness of connection and allow the relationship with your bone set to deepen.
2026-02-01 15:52 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo All this process may take time, it does not need to be rushed. Even 30 minutes can be meaningful when done with focus and attention.
2026-02-01 15:52 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo If the practice needs to pause, close the set, intentionally, take a deep breath, and mark that you will return to the work.Continue the process each day from the day you started this until all items have been met.
2026-02-01 15:52 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo This is way of meeting the bones can really make a difference in reading the bones and make a noticeable shift. There is an unfolding of a relationship of these bones that aid you and unfold meanings more naturally.
2026-02-01 15:52 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo Taking the time to deepen your relationship with these old bones may help you to hear what they have to say.
2026-02-01 15:52 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo Meeting your bone set in this way helps establish a deeper relationship. Over time, many readers may find that the work feels steadier, and meanings unfold more naturally through continued use and experience.
2026-02-01 15:53 PM JustinJayDee Don't analyze it, recognize it - that needs to be a new quote from Papa Newt!
2026-02-01 15:53 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo This was a way of meeting the bones really made a difference for me and reading the bones. It made a noticeable shift. There is an unfolding of a relationship of these bones that aid you and unfold meanings more naturally.
2026-02-01 15:53 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo I hope that you take the time to deepen your relationship with these old bones to hear what they have to say.
2026-02-01 15:53 PM LuckyMojoCurioCo How many bones should be in a Sangoma Reading Set? "As many as you can manage."
