I have been working with non-human spirits for 9 years and this gave me the foundation for navigating the cleverness and ambiguity of spirit. Once my close friend gifted me a set of tarot cards, something clicked and I knew divination was for me.
I am incredibly sensitive. For those of you who are, you know very well the extent to which this can seem a burden, especially in a fast-paced society. But, once I started working with spirits and divining, the sensitivity I was so confused about bloomed into something I could actually appreciate and even cherish. I experience a deep empathy and love to extend this outwards in order to foster relationships, with embodied or disembodied spirits alike. We humans are animals and, even more, we are living beings. There is such a fertile ground for our connections to other beings when we know this and feel it deep in our bodies. With this degree of grounding in mind, I am friends with spirits of animals, plants, mountains, even archetypal beings. This has made my life very rich and I hope to help enrich yours!
I met one of my spirit allies in a funny way... my dad called me from his backyard wondering if I would like an opossum skeleton! As I'm a physiologist, I wondered if I could reconstruct the skeleton like I had seen in anatomy labs, but soon realized I didn't have the skills or tools for this. I then found out about the practice of 'throwing the bones,' a form of cleromancy/casting lots which many groups of people around the world have used. I started cleaning the bones, and the opossum who is now a dear friend began to show himself to me.
The method I use to throw bones came so easily to me that I knew this is a gift and I want to share it. I have had some extraordinary experiences working with this opossum spirit and divination in general, and I love to provide whatever help I can with the processes I use for divining. I found that I didn't always need a physical tool for divining (the process of uncovering occulted/hidden information); I can just as easily visualize and allow for my mind to be guided to pertinent imagery. Combined with my sensitivity and rooted somatic experience, this allows me to do energy readings and general psychic readings.
