Fox scapula's, set of 2

Nice set of scapula's from a dutch red fox, in good condition.

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 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.

If you are looking to dive deeper into traditional shamanic oracle methods such as this one, we highly recommend the book "Shamanic Oracles" by Karagai Kam. This book gives great context and very practical instructions about many different traditional (Siberian) shamanic oracle methods. This book can of course also be found in our webshop.

And of course beautiful fox scapula’s like these are not only great for oracle work, but can also be used in all your own handcrafting or ritual purposes, to make powerful attributes and amulets connected with Fox energy.

This set consists of two scapula's, each approximately 8 centimeters long, from the same animal. Only one set available.
