Here's a nice little tutorial on how to clean bones you may have collected to use for making runes, dice, divination tools or for other magickal purposes.
Use a very sharp boning knife to remove the bones you need from the limb. Be sure to remove any excess cartilage or shreds of flesh. Always practice basic knife and kitchen safety....
... I am so sorry to do this to you, but this post has been moved to my new website, Magickal Ingredients, and can be found in its entirety here: How To Clean Bones
what great tips on this procedure, i wondered about this stuff...
ReplyDeletedoes it matter what method you use depending on the size/animal the bones are from?
Hi Violet - I really think it's simply a matter of personal choice and what "feels" most appropriate.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of allowing ants and insects to clean the bones for me - seems somehow more natural.
The sal soda seems like the best choice for large projects...
Good luck with whatever method you choose.
