Junk Oracle Collection

What is a Junk Oracle?

It is a system of divination using everyday found objects and your intuition to determine what the objects mean. Ancient peoples used bones, stones, sticks, animal entrails, bird flight, and whatever objects were at hand to divine events. This is a very modern twist along the same lines.

(swap description edited to remove references to forum thread)

For this swap, you will send your partner three components to complete the swap:

1) At least 12 small items to start or add to a junk oracle collection. You can purchase items, but this is a good opportunity to rummage through your stash and your kids' toy boxes to see what inspires you!

caveat-if you are sending used items, please make sure they are clean and in good shape.

2) A nice bag (handmade or purchased) to hold the items. This needs to be at least tarot bag sized, but a bigger one (Crown Royal bag size) would be nice so everyone can keep adding to their collections.

3) Include a list of all the items you are including and what you think the items represent. Use your intuition to determine what the items mean to you. Your partner may see things differently, but that's what makes it interesting!

Examples:

shell= emptiness

scissors =cutting away things in your life

dog = loyalty/friendship

...and so on....

Recap

1) 12 (or more!) small items

2) Bag

3) List of interpretations

If this is successful, we may do later themed swaps to add to our collections.
