THE GRIMOIRE / DIVINATION

The herb toss

Scatter three familiar dried herbs and read their distance, direction, and meeting points.

What you’ll need

  • A pinch each of dried rosemary, mint, and bay
  • A light-colored cloth
  • A small bowl

The ritual

  1. Assign rosemary to what endures, mint to what renews, and bay to what succeeds.
  2. Mix the herbs in the bowl while holding your question, then toss them gently across the cloth.
  3. Notice which herb travels farthest, which remains near you, and where two or more meet.
  4. Write an interpretation using the three assigned meanings, then return the herbs to compost.
