THE GRIMOIRE / DIVINATION

The five-shell casting

Cast five shells and read their openings, clusters, and distance from the center.

What you’ll need

  • Five small clean shells
  • A round cloth
  • A pebble

The ritual

  1. Place the pebble at the center of the cloth to represent the heart of your question.
  2. Shake the shells between your palms and cast them gently around the center.
  3. Count shells opening upward as visible influences and downward shells as influences still concealed.
  4. Read close clusters as alliances and isolated shells as separate matters. Sketch the pattern before gathering them.
