The use and symbolism of the egg has maintained a pretty significant role in spiritual and religious practice throughout historyIn many eclectic spiritual practices, it is common to cast a circle, or bless an area before beginning any kind of Divine work, meeting with Spirit, or just giving praise. Often times, when creating that sacred space, or making an area 'clean' (energy wise) and protecting it from outside forces and energies; people will usually call in the four directions.
While reading Tanya Paluso's book Open Your Heart, I came across a beautifully written section about calling in the four directions and setting intentions before doing anykind of spiritual work. Cleromancy is a form of divination by reading & interpreting the arrangement, shapes formed, & placement of randomly fallen or tossed objects. Believed to reveal the will of God.
Different objects can be used such as: runes, bones, shells, stones, dice, dominoes, etc. Often times the items used are all different, and are tossed together. They are inscribed with markings, numbers, or colors - or left in their natural state. Usually carried in a sacred manner, in a cloth, bowl, or basket, sense they are believed to be a direct line of communication with Spirit. When read they are tossed onto an animal hide, a special mat, or into a circle drawn on the ground. |
