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.

Druidism did not have a priest hood.


" Druidism did not have a priest hood. Religion is a Latin word meaning "to be tied with ligament" ­ this means to be have something fixed to you or to be held to a set of laws. Priests interpret these laws and in doing so they put themselves above and between you and the source. This denies your right to full and direct connection to source except through those who claim to be your betters. "

  • Christopher Pearce How could someone that does right by all be less than them, and what supposedly makes them better then anyone else.
  • Lisabeth Ryder religion /rɪˈlɪdÊ’(É™)n /
    ▸ noun [mass noun] the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods:
    ideas about the relationship between science and religion.

     [count noun] a particular system of faith and worship:
    the world's great religions.
     [count noun] a pursuit or interest followed with great devotion:
    consumerism is the new religion.
    – PHRASES
    get religion informal
    be converted to religious belief and practices:
    he got religion and gave his money to the poor.
    – DERIVATIVES religionless adjective.
    – ORIGIN Middle English (originally in the sense ‘life under monastic vows’): from Old French, or from Latin religio(n-) ‘obligation, bond, reverence’, perhaps based on Latin religare ‘to bind’.
  • George King Sadly we are bound most often by Greek or Roman or both definitions. And often find ourselves beating one against another. 

    Like in this case.

    While those of my ways believe the Druids reserved what most think of as Worship and Religion for use with and for the Celts or Toutas (tribes) they served blending both the Toutas old gods if they had migrated it lands with Druids and the genius loci (guardiansor spirits of a place) along with other Forces (Gods Goddesses Otherkin) that they knew together as needed by the Toutas forms of food production and industries. 

    Perhaps Transmigration being the one exception to this.
    >>
    Transmigration:The Druidic belief that the life essence or soul of a living thing would pass immediately from their old vessel into a new lifeform after their physical death. << (ref. FatherOak {dot} com)

    I for one know of no sources to define how they would have defined thes terms that are tainted by the very definitions being used against each other here. An especially our pre-Iron Age Selves.

A Note on Google Books…
Google Books (http://books.google.com/) is an online database of scanned books that are fully searchable. You can use it, for instance, to look for books on X topic, and the search engine will search the *entire text* of each book to find relevant books for you. In the search results, you are provided with a snippet from each retrieved book showing your search terms in context. Most books that are retrieved in this way cannot be read cover-to-cover on Google Books; instead, you're only granted access to the relevant snippet
and provided with links to places where the book can be bought.
However, there are many older books, no longer protected by copyright, which can be viewed cover-to-cover on Google Books and/or downloaded as a (large) PDF file. Here are a few relevant to Heathenry:
Cleasby and Vigfusson's Icelandic English Dictionary (1874):
http://books.google.com/books?id=B08JAAAAQAAJ
Grimm's Teutonic Mythology, volume I (1880):
http://books.google.com/books?id=neQtAAAAIAAJ
Grimm's Teutonic Mythology, volume II (1883):
http://books.google.com/books?id=8ektAAAAIAAJ
Grimm's Teutonic Mythology, volume III (1883):
http://books.google.com/books?id=G-8tAAAAIAAJ
Grimm's Teutonic Mythology, volume IV (1888):
http://books.google.com/books?id=juctAAAAIAAJ
To find a specific book on Google Books can be tricky, given the sheer number of books in the database (including multiple copies, from different libraries, of the same book). Using the Advanced Search (http://books.google.com/advanced_book_search) can help with that, as it allows you to search by book title, author, ISBN, etc. If you only want to get books that can be read / downloaded *in full*, then be sure to use the Advanced Search and click the radio button for "Full view only". For example, to find Grimm's Teutonic Mythology, you can search by Author (Grimm), Title (Teutonic Mythology), and with "Full view only" clicked. This approach alone is not perfect, however, as it only lists Volume IV in the initial search results - which is why the Other Editions feature in the book record is so useful. You can find the Other Editions feature in the main PDF display of the book on Google Books - look down the right hand side until you find it.

Clicking "show more" there, you will be taken to similar search results, from which, in this case, all of the volumes of Teutonic Mythology can be found.
