This listing is for one full-sized jar of divination beads. These beads are not everyday craft beads but handmade clay and glass beads, quartz crystals, betel nut, abalone, cowrie shells, keys, pins, carabao bone buttons (water buffalo), shark teeth, jade, and piloncitos (small beads of 18k gold similar to precolonial currency in parts of the Philippines and Southeast Asia).

There are many forms of folk divination. Nearly all of them require special, focused attention via a particular sense (like sight or sound) or a combination of senses. Bead divination requires a medium who uses sight for their magick. Mothers and grandmothers gifted with “sight” often used elements from their everyday lives to divine information from the other realms like keys, pins, jewelry, wooden children’s toys. They could also watch the patterns of light on the ocean waves to divine information.

This set is great for new and experienced practitioners who want a full-set for long-term study and use. All animal-derived items were sourced ethically and humanely.

These specially chosen beads were enchanted and consecrated by Trinidad at the Dragon Mountain monastery in California under the full moon.
