"An essential, practical, and inspirational tome for any magickal practitioner interested in casting, whether they are brand-new to the subject or looking to deepen their experience with new and more complex techniques." --Enfys J. Book, author of Queer Rites "So much more than a 'how-to' manual, this book is a treasure and an opener of doors. It has taught me to think about divination in a whole new and refreshingly pure way. Until fairly recently, I shied away from it out of fear of possible futures or of doing it wrong, even though I've been a magical practitioner for thirty years. I now understand not only how to look for clues and revelations, but more importantly, what types of questions to ask and how to apply and interpret the messages I receive. All while expanding, honing and honoring my own senses in all of life's experiences and having fun doing it I truly believe that this book will do the same for you." --Kajira Djoumahna, author, artist, dancer, crone "J.
R. Mascaro has written a complete guide to the art of divinatory casting, covering topics from creating and sourcing tools, to the philosophy behind the magic, to enthusiastically sharing the unique symbolic systems he has developed over years of honing his practice. This is a great book for anyone who is interested in expanding their knowledge beyond tarot and oracle cards, into the vast kinetic universe of thrown object divination. No prior experience is necessary to engage with this book, but even the most seasoned diviner will find something that shifts or grows their perspective within these pages. Mascaro's innovative conception of the magical arts, combined with his visionary, approachable methods for incorporating divination, make this book a must-have for your occult collection. I highly recommend anything by this author!" --Jamie Waggoner, author of Hades "A wonderfully accessible start for folks looking to expand their divinatory repertoire beyond tarot and cartomancy. I've been casting bones for years and I truly appreciate how JR has captured the variety of ways this practice can show up. As someone who is trying to develop a deeper familiarity with crystals and stones, the chapter on 'Crystal Casting' was fascinating.
I'm personally curious how I can incorporate their method of 'Adjacent Crystal Casting' into my own osteomancy practice!" --RonPadrón, Cuban-American hedge priest "This book offers an inspiring and thoughtfully crafted exploration of divination methods. Drawing from personal experience, J.R. provides fresh approaches that are sure to be of value to both experienced diviners and newbies." --Maevius Lynn, author of The Holy Year of Thelema "Dice, Runes, Bones, and Stonesoffers clear, understandable, and deeply personal insight into what should, by all accounts, be a frighteningly overwhelming subject. Through his thoughtful and comprehensive explanations of both ancient and modern divinatory methods, as well as his gentle guidance for cleromancers of all skill levels, J. R. Mascaro leaves no stone unturned (so to speak) and brings readers along on a journey that is as fascinating as it is practical.
