Get in Loser, We're Doing Witchcraft

Episode 193: Osteomancy pt.2

Listen

Description

Welcome back, Witches! In Part 2 of our Osteomancy series, we’re getting practical and stepping into the lived experience of bone divination. We’ll explore what it looks like to work with osteomancy, how practitioners approach it, and what unfolds when the bones are cast and read. The history set the foundation—now we’re moving into practice. So get in, Loser—because the bones are ready to speak.
