Bones and Other Remains in Spellcraft/Cursing

[Norse_Angel]

Hail Friends,
I know I have many like-minded folk on here who collect bones, and skulls. Anytime I go on hikes, I make it my mission to find as many bones as I can on the forest floor. But what happens to these bones? Well, some, I've made into ceremonial necklaces. Others have their spots and placements on Altars. But how many of us use bones for ritual workings, or, more commonly, cursing? I use bones in everything from divination, to Spellcraft, and of course, sending curses. I actually charm certain bones for differing properties and uses. I also have a set of runes I've made from elk bone.
What do you use bone for?

Buttons usually.

Throwing the bones, of course!

Some items hold a special place, though. The full wolf skull, and the fang tooth, for instance.

Bird bones are amazing for jewelry.

My favorite was a seller on etsy who made gorgeous hair-pins and clips!

I tend to use bones and animals curios in my craft as well. I can't say I have done it often, but I have used bones in cursing and malevolent magick too.

Oh, there's always been a lot of Gothic in me, Medusa!

I use various animal parts when cursing.

Generally, if I am eating a hamburger and start to curse like a 14 year old, small bits of chewed beef, mixed with saliva, will fly out of my mouth in the direction of the person I am cursing. The same is true for Chicken McNuggets, pork ribs, and pepperoni.

This seems to be quite effective in getting people out of my way.

I use bones to make various cool things.

Now I almost wish I had picked up that coyote skull I saw on my walk last week (it was missing the lower mandible, otherwise I probably would have!)

I've always been too nervous to use bones for anything but now I'm thinking I need to get into that.

I love it! Works like a charm!

Yes,B. De. is a master of the curse spit take....I have my suspicions he may be part Jewish and deep down wants to do standup...

I have a dear skull on my altar I use to help talk to my dead. I am working on a set of rib bone runes.
