Bone Throwing
Bone throwing (also called osteomancy) is a form of cleromancy—casting small, meaningful objects and reading how they fall. Sets can include actual bones, shells, stones, seeds, dice, keys, and other charms or personal objects you may feel a connection with. The diviner interprets positions, patterns, orientations, and relationships among the pieces to answer a question or offer guidance. In many living traditions, this work is done by trained/initiated practitioners; in modern folk practice, people also assemble personal “bones-and-curios” sets. Our sets at Madame Meerkats are curated using ethically sourced bones and fossils collected along the southeastern coastline.
