Since classical times the scapula bones of different animal species have been used for specific kinds of oracle work, called osteomancy, or more precisely scapulimancy. This often involves keeping the bone in the heat of a ritual fire until little cracks or even holes appear and then interpreting these patterns. Or smearing ashes from a ritual fire on the bone and then intuitively reading what images and messages appear.
For this, the different spots/locations of the scapula are sometimes assigned to locations in the non-physical realms, making the scapula as a physical tool a device of translation for the messages from the spiritworld.
These scapula's here on the picture come from a dutch cow. They are in good condition and of course (coming from such a big animal) they are heavy and big (size of each scapula is approximately 36 centimeters long and 25 centimeters wide).
Of course they can be used for much more purposes than divination only. Use them in all your personal ritual, crafting or decorational purposes.
