My casting stones are my first divination tool which I devised when I was a baby witch because I couldn’t afford to go out and buy a pendulum or tarot cards.
The idea for them was inspired by Elder Futhark Runes and Pendulums. I wanted something that could reliably answer Yes/No questions, regardless of slightly shaky hands. I haven’t seen anything similar to them so I wanted to share how I made them and how to use them for all the baby witches and broke witches, or people who are just looking for a different kind of divination tool.
I picked four smooth river stones from a nearby stream. that could all fit in my hand at once. They’re all different shapes and but mostly are the same size, and are fairly flat. each of them is a color i connect with one of the four elements. A reddish one for fire, an off white one for wind, a true brown for earth and a dark grey for water. I find that this distinction in color brings more balance to the Casting stones as a group. Then on one side of each of them I drew a sigil each for truth, connection to the universe, connection and answered questions.
Here’s how they work: Casting stones like pendulums can tend to take on a life of their own, developing a personality as you work with them. Mine can, and do sass me when I ask silly, confusing or indulgent questions. They can be used to ask questions of spirits or of the universe, and I have even on a few occasions used them to communicate with deities. I recommend cleansing and charging them once a month at least. The following is the method for using them.
1. Hold the stones and ask the question aloud or in your head. 2. Toss the stones. 3. Interpret the results
4 stones face up, is a definitive yes. 3 stones face up is a yes, but the answer may be influenced by your actions. 2 stones face up and 2 face down is an unknown, or a maybe. 3 stones face down is a no, but the answer may be affected by your actions. 4 Stones face down is a definitive no.
And there you have it! I hope this can be helpful for the witches out there who are looking for another divination option! – Aesa ❤
Here’s a thing I didn’t know when I started reading Tarot that I wish I did: the Rider-Waite-Smith deck is public domain, meaning if you’re buying a deck what you’re paying for is not the images but the materials they’re printed on. So unless it’s a fancy edition or an older/antique version, don’t pay a bunch for it! I bought my original Rider Waite for probably like $18 ten years ago and that’s WAY more than it’s worth considering it’s just generic plastic-coated cardstock and started peeling almost immediately.
It also means you are free to print out copies for yourself without worrying about breaking any copyright laws. Here’s a PDF version for the deck in color, 9 cards to a page in its current arrangement, so smaller than standard but not by much. Here’s a version that’s just the line art in case you don’t have access to color printing or want to color them in yourself.
My suggestion? Go get construction paper, or if you have a little extra money, go to Michael’s and get cardstock paper in a nice pattern or color. Then get either a regular glue stick or if you can afford the extra couple bucks, buy the Elmer’s Craft Bond Extra Strength Glue Stick (it’s like $3ish at Michael’s and is designed to not oversaturate paper and make it ripple). Then print, adhere the printer paper to the construct paper/cardstock, let dry and cut out. They may be a little difficult to ruffle shuffle but beyond that it will function the same as any other deck AND if you spill coffee on your spread it’s not the end of the world, just reprint the cards you stained.
ive seen a few different posts talking about wanting to get into tarot but deck prices being somewhat prohibitive so wanted to bring this back since it has the links to the PDFs and such in it. Tarot ought to be accessible, print your own deck and get started!
As soon as you wake up, open your curtains and let sunlight into your room! It’ll help wake you up.
Stretch and greet the sun. Ask her to watch over you again today.
Draw a daily tarot card.
Enjoy a cup of tea. Stir clockwise to attract, counter clockwise to banish.
Pick an outfit with color correspondences to match the day. Even if you feel tired, dress in bright colors and smile in the mirror. Manifest the happiness you deserve.
Pocket a small crystal. Amethyst for protection, rose quartz for love, labradorite for courage, moonstone for clarity, etc.
Water and talk to your plants. They protect your home by absorbing negative energy and curses. Thank them!
Cook with intention. Use herbs, colors, and flavors that correspond with what you’re trying to manifest.
Meditate, even if it’s just for five minutes. Set aside time for yourself to empty your mind and relax. During this time, forget about upcoming deadlines, this week’s grocery list, or any other reminder you keep in the back of your mind.
Before you go to bed, review what you’re thankful for. Talk to your deities or just remind yourself of all the good things you got going for you!
Greet the moon and ask her to watch out for you while you rest.
