This page will show you how to do a basic reading with bones. The horizontal line is the timeline, which goes from the past, to the present (middle), then to the future on the right. The vertical line represents the deep subconscious at the far bottom to the conscious in the upper half. The conscious is what is happening in your life, facts, things you are thinking about. While the subconscious is in the back of a person’s mind, a nagging feeling or maybe, something we don’t even know about in our conscious mind.
The bones that land near the center of the cross roads, near the present marker, represent the important main theme to the reading.
Now I will attempt to write out a sample reading to help explain this process. The picture below shows a sample bone throw. The bones have a corresponding number that is explained below.
This is a sample reading to provide some clarity. We will say “Bob” asked the question, “How will my trip to Hawaii go?”. This is one way to interpret the bones for his reading…
1) The leg bone is isolated, which could represent isolation or a need for introspection. There is something deep within Bob’s subconscious mind, from the past that is influencing things today. This has to do with progress on an issue, direction, stability, strength, progress, or a journey or travel by land. Perhaps, a previous trip when he was young or some type of progress on an issue had a subconscious influence on his present trip.
2) The wing bone represents something that Bob was thinking concsiously about in the past, that is having an effect on things now or in the future. Possibly, a past feeling of freedom, aspiration, change, need for release, or travel by air, is influencing his present decisions.
3) The thigh bone is isolated at the top of the throw area. The thigh represents foundational support, spirit, spiritual growth, or ancestors. Since it is in the upper realm of the conscious mind, Bob is thinking about this, but not often. He is also going to be thinking about this now, not in the future or past. He may be thinking about gaining some type of spiritual growth from the trip or Bob is praying that his plane doesn’t crash 🙂
4) The broken leg, backbone, and rib bone are near the center, meaning they are important bones for the main theme of the reading. Bob is thinking consciously about (broken leg) obstacles, setbacks, halted progress, injury, need for healing, delays, sickness, vulnerabilities, and challenges. Perhaps, he is or will soon be experiencing a trip delay. He also has the backbone and rib in the central area but in his subconscious mind. So he may have a nagging feeling about money, stability or material matters (backbone). He is also subconsciously thinking about protection, health, or shelter (rib).
5) The backbone and rib provide additional information, they are clustered together. This could indicate some type of unity or inter-relationship between the bones. Since the rib is turned inward, like a cup towards the backbone (<bb), this may mean emotional openness to money or material issues. If the rib was bowed towards the backbone (>bb), that might indicate emotional blockages or walls to money issues.
6) These bones are again clustered, which show some type of entanglement between the breast and wish bone. This is in the future, in Bob’s conscious mind. Possibly a missed connection between a wish and love will happen in the future. If the wishbone was open towards the breastbone (<breast), this may mean a wish for love could come true.
7) Finally, there is a broken wingbone in the future subconscious for Bob. In the future, he may have a nagging feeling of being stuck, broken aspirations, or loss of freedom. Possibly a subconscious feeling of a loss of freedom has something to do with the entanglement of the wish and breast bones previously mentioned.
Kinda long to write a reading all out!
