Bone Readings
Do you teach throwing the bones, bone divination, how to do bone readings?
While I do offer a course on working respectfully with zoological remains, I do not teach throwing the bones or bone divination, nor do I teach any other forms of divination. I have no intention of offering a course or workshop on throwing the bones in the future.
Do you do bone readings by phone/zoom/skype/etc?
I do not. Bone readings are not like Tarot or other forms of divination. Every reading involves 20-30 minutes of ceremonial preparation beforehand and the readings themselves take 1-3 hours to complete. Due to my nomadic and rural lifestyle, I do not have access to reliable phone or internet service and cannot reliably schedule such a significant block of time. So, as stated on my readings page, all bone readings are delivered as a pdf by email.
I’d like to buy a bone reading from you but I’m not sure which reading to get.
At this time, I currently offer three specific bone readings:

I’d like to buy a bone reading from you but I’m not sure which reading to get.
At this time, I currently offer three specific bone readings:
- The Ancestral Reading Service is a specialized reading that focuses specifically on helping you to connect with your ancestors and removing any obstacles to forging those connections.
- The In-Depth Bone Reading is a standard reading, allowing for deep exploration into any topic. It does not include the calling of your ancestors or any other spirits, however, should your ancestors or other spirits appear for your reading, their presence and messages will be noted.
- The Basic Bone Reading is a highly focused reading that lacks the details and nuance of the In-Depth Bone Reading. It is suitable for when you need quick insight, such as when faced with a decision or choosing a course of action to take and you want to make the most informed decision you can.
Courses & Teaching Witchcraft
I really want to take one of your courses and/or purchase a bone reading but don’t have a paypal account or a credit card, how can I pay you?
Unfortunately, I only accept payment through paypal—which does not mean that you need to have a paypal account, but it does require a credit, debit, or prepaid card. I do not do readings in trade or for barter.
I’m new to witchcraft and looking for a teacher, do you offer one on one teaching or mentorship?
I offer a number of courses—some self-paced and some guided—that each come with full support via email and discord, as well as offering exclusive monthly courses through patreon that are conducted in a live chat environment via discord. Aside from these courses, my books, the 100+ articles available on my site for free, & the regular content I share on social media, I do not offer any other teaching and do not offer one-on-one teaching.
I’m really interested in taking one of your courses, but I’m on a budget. Can I make payments?
If you sign up for the Wildling Tier on my patreon, you can take all of my courses, one at a time, on a payment plan of $20 per month (plus any additional platform fees).
In addition to taking my full-size courses on a payment plan, you would also get to participate in exclusive monthly courses available only through patreon, plus get full membership to The Winding Way (my private discord community), access to two Witchcraft Q&A’s each month, access to the monthly Witch Chat social, and free digital copies of all my indie pub books.
I see that you offer courses on your site but also through patreon? What is the difference between these?
The courses on my site range from three to twelve weeks long and are mostly self-paced, allowing you to work at your own pace. New courses will be guided and feature live weekly chats, in addition to full support via email and dm on discord; all self-paced courses also come with full support.
The courses offered through patreon are each one month long, consisting of two lessons conducted through live chats that allow for active discussion of the material in real-time. All course material is available to read after the chats, via patreon. These courses are a mix of casual and serious, and the topics are chosen each month by patrons.
If I buy one of your courses, will I be added to your newsletter subscribers?
A huge part of my work is that of consent—both for each other and in regards to spirits. And so, when you sign up for something from me that means you can be sure that you will only receive what you’re signing up for. If you buy a bone reading, you will not receive any emails from except as relates to your reading. If you buy a course, you will not receive any emails except for a Welcome Message for that course, one email for each lesson, and possibly a wrap up email once the course has ended.

Miscellaneous
Have you heard of *title of random witchcraft book*? Is it any good?
We are fortunate to be living in a time when witchcraft books are both plentiful and easy to access. But this means that there are more being published—and have been published in the last 70 years—than anyone could hope to read.
See my Recommended Reading List for Witches.
Help! I have been cursed/am surrounded by negative energy/am being possessed by an evil spirit, what magickal actions do I need to take and can you fix this for me?
The magickal and witch communities have a preoccupation with “negative energy” and “evil spirits” that cannot be substantiated by experience in working with spirits and practicing witchcraft. To put that another way: negative energy does not exist in the fear-based way that is so frequently discussed and good/bad/evil are not universal constructs—they are entirely influenced by culture and human perception, i.e., evil spirits aren’t real.
That said, life is hard and every spiritual person will find themselves facing challenges in their life and practice that shake them to the core, make them question their beliefs, and present them with more questions than answers. But our lives and our spiritual practices are ruled by cycles—just as all the natural world is. These trying times will pass.
In the meantime, there are active steps that you can take to help yourself through these dark nights of the soul:
Hi! I have *insert “unique” and wild experience here* that I just know you’d be interested in/are the only one who will understand/are the only one who can help me.
Thank you so much for trusting me enough to share your experiences with me! However, I am not able to help you with this situation outside of the bone readings offered through my site. As a Pagan minister, this is the only form of spiritual counseling that I provide.
Please also be aware that I am not a licensed mental health care provider and am not qualified to provide counseling regarding mental or emotional health issues.

In the meantime, there are active steps that you can take to help yourself through these dark nights of the soul:
- daily self purification
- ward your home
- cleanse your home every 1-2 weeks
- perform divination to help you evaluate the situation and determine if additional necessary action is required
- OR get a reading from someone you can trust to help you better understand the situation you’re facing
