Hello darlings 🥰

(TW: animal bones)

I wondered if you would be interested in an informative post on properly cleaning, whitening, and preparing animal bones whether for magical tools or aesthetic purposes.

Please note that I only use bones from ethical sources, such as animals that have died naturally and were foraged, not grown for this purpose ✨

name: センリツ, Senritsu. name meaning: Senritsu just translates to Melody. Her familyame Döne is the lowgerman word for Töne= Tunes /Sounds/ Noises. In the First High German consonant shift the d became a t. 'Pape Döne' is also the name of a very sly and musically inclined robber from a lowgerman fairytale who tricked the devil. alias: Melody, Melodia, Dönes (with the patronym 's'), pied piper.

ethnicity: A huge mystery. Hailing from traveling people / wandering Graverobbers makes pinning down a family- tree very hard. The Travling People she comes from are neither Sinti nor Lucht Siúil with specific social systems, but are gens- du-voyage that actually consists of different ethnic /cultural groups who come, stay and leave in the Traveling-group on their own whims. Although Senritsus father was specifically born in Lübeck (Hence his nickname Papa Döne later given to him between the traveling people) and lived in Ratzeburg before meeting her mother and leaving his carrier to join her and also Senritsus and all her siblings names are of japanese orgin but also have a english or greek aliases, so there could be said that about her ethnicity. Make of that what you want. In the HxH world the only specifically japanese people are her colleague Basho and Hanzo, so Senritsus ethnicity is in contrast undistinguishable.

ᴛʜʀᴇᴇ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴs ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴛᴏʟᴅ ᴀɴʏᴏɴᴇ :

Senritsu is dyslexic. In the first twelve years of her life she had visited school through online-courses while her group of traveling people had been on the road, so there had never been a chance for a special pedagogue to make a diagnosis of her. Schoolwork in general and especially reading was a source of endless frustration for her and she developted with a lot of tears and sweat certaine tactics to avoid her struggles beeing find out: Whatever she is told, she will remember in detail, especially the "melody" of the words. She has a very big visual- Word-safe keenly memorized, although she obviously will be confused if words are written similar (same start, same middle but different ending). This also means that reading japanese kanji is an absolute nightmare for her. Years later as an Adult, Senritsu figured out her diagnosis and nowdays just uses an App on her Mobile Phone to recognize the letters to read them to her with a mechanic voice and when she writes letters, she has a programm on her laptop to dictate to which words will be translated into written words. She is also a big fan of audio-books.

Senritsus flute is made of bones. The group of wandering People Senritsu grew up between were using bones to build music- instruments. Originally that tradition came from the idea that when a person or animal dies scraps of their "aura "Beeing" (Senritsu figured that this tradition originally came from a nen-pratice) will sink into their bones, giving the instruments a certaine tune depending on the passed persons personality /animals abilities. What had been first a traditonal craft, became the groups main income beside some thiefery and robbery, when the group was discovered by the bodypart-collector-community and since than the group works on comissions for them to build artpieces for that collectors. The group nowdays only uses humanbones and are inofficially known as graverobbers. Only occaisonally they would nowdays use animalbones. Senritsus original flute made of bones is the master-piece she build to pass her masterexam as a conservator.

Senritsus Father is a Serial-Killer. The man who would be renamed "Papa Döne" or just "Döne" by the Traveling-People, was said to have lost his mind after his oldest child left the group to study at a Music- Consortium. It was also the same time Senritsu had invented and was using her Prototyp Hatsu and tried to rob a (unknowing to her) Hunter, who in exchange for food and a bed to sleep in sat her down for a basic-Nentraining so she would not accidentally kill herself by beeing a emitter and therefor unkowingly very easy just throws her aura out in massive amounts. Her father, protective of his children as he was, asked to be teached too. Senritsu till today thinks that her father had been initated to Nen wrongly and that there had been "something broken in his mind" in the process, considering what happned afterwards. This is also the reason why she vehemently insists on not teaching other people Nen, because she is worried she would do something wrong and hurt them physically / mentally. Senritsus father was hanged when she was twelve and afterwards she left the Traveling people to study at the same Music-Consortium her eldest sister went to study at.

ᴛʜʀᴇᴇ ᴛʜɪɴɢs ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀ ʟɪᴋᴇs ᴅᴏɪɴɢ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇɪʀ ғʀᴇᴇ ᴛɪᴍᴇ : In general Senritsus work as a Music-Hunter is her hobby and her greatest passion. However; for explicite examples:

Senritsu loves to dance, although since she was cursed she nolonger can dance tango with a partner (Due to the great heightdifference, even when she sidesteps that in dances like Waltz by beeing the one who leads) and usually will either dance flamenco on her own or join a ringdance with a group.

At every moment when she is not working (as in keeping an eye on someone / something) or is in a social interaction in which other people need her attention, she is listening to a audiobook. Senritsu had never been a good student in school thanked for her undiagnosed dyslexia but also because of her personality. What did not interested her, would not get a shimmer of her attention. Which also means that what interests her will get her full attention and passion and immense eagerness to learn. Accordingly she constantly will listen to audiobooks of themes that interest her: History, the biographys of certaine componists, scientific analysis of dances /art/ musical instruments/ cultural practices around dancing/music/craftmanship, travel-reports....

Senritsu loves camping and hiking. It is naturally part of her work, but she herself loves to prepare a trip and despite the fact that sleepign in a tent is not at all good for her back, she still loves spending free days away from big cities on a hike.

sɪx ᴘᴇᴏᴘʟᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀ ʟɪᴋᴇs / ʟᴏᴠᴇs : Senritsu easily loves people, in the manner that she easily gets fond of them and will look after them for as long as they are around her. And in this time, they will also very much count as close family to her with all the care and love that connection comes with. That is after all how her Group of Traveling Peple had worked: Everyone is welcomed to seek help, community and protection and when they leave, they are just as loved, but the Group still moves on. However, that also means, that as soon as Senritsu leaves she will count new people into that family of hers and leave the others behind (still loved, nontheless left behind). She is a wanderer after all and it is normal for her to say goodbye and let go. So in that manner, at the moment she would count as people she loves and considers family: Basho, Lin-Sen, Kurapika and Leorio. There are of course her four siblings, her mother and her baby-nieces (godchildren, for that matter. Although she sees her godmother duties fullfilled by having put up a bankbook for the twins)and the members of the Traveling people, that she would count as the people she loves. Although she had had no contact to them despite a letter once a year since she had left and years later became a Hunter.

ᴛᴡᴏ ᴛʜɪɴɢs ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀ ʀᴇɢʀᴇᴛs : Nothing. What happned, had happned. Nothing she thinks or feels about it will change that it had already happned and time can not be rewind, what counts is what she is doing with the situation she is in now. So Senritsu does not regret anything and will never regret anything.

ᴛᴡᴏ ᴘʜᴏʙɪᴀs ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀ ʜᴀs : Senritsu is afraid of heights, but that is something she had learned to live with. She still does not at all enjoys travelign per Airship or walking along bridges without a railing. Since what had happned to her fathere there is also another fear: that she might lose herself in her ambitions and hurt other people, and that she will not fully dive into her passions, regret holding back and lashes out on others out of frustration and pain. Accordingly Senritsu had decided to follow her passions wholly and usually keeps people on armlenght, so they would not be hurt by her putting her work before them.

Bones In Witchcraft 🔮🦴

Hello Darlings 🥰

Today we're going to talk about the ancient art of bone-throwing/casting and other uses of animal bones in witchcraft 🦴✨

Bone-throwing is a divinatory practice that has been used by various cultures throughout history. It involves tossing bones, shells, or other objects onto a surface and interpreting the patterns that they make. The bones are typically collected from animals that are considered sacred or hold symbolic meaning. Each bone has its own unique significance and can represent different aspects of life, such as love, wealth, health, and death.

In addition to bone-throwing, animal bones have been used in various other ways in witchcraft. Here are some examples:

🦴Talismans and amulets: Bones can be used to make powerful talismans and amulets. For example, a necklace made from a bird bone might be worn to bring good luck and protection.

🦴Spells and rituals: Animal bones can be used in spells and rituals for a variety of purposes. For instance, a spell might involve burying a bone to create a binding spell, or using a bone in a spell to banish negative energy.

🦴Altar decorations: Bones can make unique and interesting decorations for your altar. They can be arranged in patterns, used to represent certain deities or spirits, or simply displayed as a reminder of the cycle of life and death.

It's important to note that the use of animal bones in witchcraft should be done with respect and reverence. It's important to obtain the bones ethically, either through scavenging, buying from reputable sources, or receiving them as gifts. Additionally, it's important to properly clean and dispose of the bones when they are no longer needed.

Bone-throwing and the use of animal bones in witchcraft can be a powerful way to connect with the natural world and the spirits that inhabit it. If this practice speaks to you, consider exploring it further and incorporating it into your own spiritual practice.

I’ve got a growing collection of animal bones, including ones that I am cleaning and prepping myself, so do let me know if you’d like a more in-depth post or series on this!

Tell me a fact about your oc and I will respond with a semi-related fact about mine: Senritsu does not put much worth on jewelery beside what she wears when she has to look presentable for work. Beside her Tippelei earring, which is literally just a way to carry money for bad situations, and pragmatical anklets with bells for playing music, she does not usually wear jewelery. However, she has a small Tupilak carved of whalebone on a leatherthread around her neck as a talisman to ward off "Bad things" which has beside its folklore usage, no pragmatic use and therefor does not fit in Senritsus wardrobe. Her friend Ask, who during his life had inspired by his upringing used his conjuration-type-Aura to wrap around animalbones to form Tupilait as small Nen- creatures to work and fight for him, had given her the Talisman as protection and since than Senritsu wears it under her blouse. Senritsu does not believe in this kind of "magic" and does in general due to her nen-training not beieve in anything paranormal as it can all be explained with Nen, but she had believed in her friends good will, so the talisman stayed with her. @hunting-songs

Oc fact: One may notice that the baker is often seen wearing a moon-themed necklace all the time. While it is fashionable and one of my favorite accessories and added to his love of various other pieces of jewlery. One would be right to assume it's a family heirloom associated with his last name origin. But it's a bit more than that.

While the other Lunas have specialties within their magic (His grandmother has mind control, his aunt Alice can heal and repair things, his uncle Camilo can manipulate luck, Angela can understand and speak old languages. Even his sister can manipulate sounds.) he does not. Thus he has an endless source of magic that can overwhelm if not checked.

The moon themed necklace is a power limiter for the young Luna. While he can take it off and get more access to spells, he has to make sure he puts it back on after 5-10 minutes less he wants his body to overload and break down.

In other verses, he wears it as a family charm. Some he's learned to control his endless magic and wears it as a proud Luna.
