Bones, Shells, and Curios: A Contemporary Method of Casting the Bones Paperback – 5 May 2014

I purchased this as a gift for my friend whose ancestry is African/Caribbean. I always joke with her that she should get out her bones and give me a reading. With the various bones I got for her, she can now create her own set with the help of this book. I hope she likes it and finds it useful in interpreting her casts. Will update after the holidays!

LLEGÓ ANTES DE LO ESPERADO, MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!

Excellent clear most informative

A beautifully written guide for anyone new to throwing the bones.Michele has a wonderful balance between being succinct and getting to the point, but elaborating just enough on areas where one may have a few more questions. She answers questions that one may not even realize they have.I will say that this isn't really meant to be an intro for divination as a concept, which is not a bad thing at all, but I simply would recommend this for people who already have a grasp on divination and possibly have messed around with some other variants in the past.

Excellent book, shorter than anticipated and a not insignificant portion is dedicated to example readings, which while quite helpful to some still feel a bit like padding given the books length. The good side of this is that the concepts introduced inside are easily understood in the course of maybe an hour - fantastically clear and to the point, the basic concepts are built and expanded upon in very easy to understand terms. having no false pretense of this being an antiquated system also adds the benefit of making the infinite possibilities for customization known - the "bone bag" could just as easily contain anything you might connect with, whether the classic bones, a menagerie of shells and teeth found beachcombing, or every forgotten trinket and coin your dryer spits out in exchange for the left socks its been collecting. The barebones (pun fully intended) nature of the system described gets the creative mind absolutely glowing and for that this book gets my recommendation
