ConVocation 2023 - Finding our Balance, Maintaining our Center

"Throwing the bones", or "casting lots", is the ancient divinatory practice of throwing a collection of small objects such as bones, stones, nuts, shells, charms and other curios upon a casting surface; then interpreting the meaning behind the configurations with the aid of the ancestral spirits. In this workshop, we will explore historical and cultural perspectives; the casting surface; the pieces, assembling and assigning meaning; methods of interpretation; and have the opportunity to "throw the bones" for attendees - as time permits. Sit with me for a while, as we throw the bones and consult the ancestors and helping spirits in matters of clarity, guidance, and wisdom.
