Charm Casting: Divining with Trinkets, Trifles, Baubles, and Bits

Writing with warmth and humor, professional charm caster Tina Hardt takes you on an enchanted journey exploring the hows and whys of assembling casting kits with an affable array of knickknackery that is uniquely personal and dynamic.

Long before the advent of the kitchen junk drawer and trinket gumball machines, shamans, healers, and seers would cast and read bones, shells, stones, coins, and nuts. It was held that where and how these pieces landed could reveal great insight into the human condition and our eternal selves. Life’s mysteries were explored and the energetic veil between the living and the dead deferentially parted.
