Talking Bones of Divination

Well there is little written on the acient use of Bones in Lots or other divinition,

I use a Ten Hand Bone system that was given to me from the world of spirit or perhaps a past life.

So casting or bone throwing is as old as human kind .

But as the questions of books on dee bones keeps coming up, lets see what we cand find.
