Unforeseen dangers of bone collecting: my cat thinks this is for her.
Not unrelated, but unexpected, events in my evening: chasing down my cat to retrieve a leg bone of questionable origin.

Hello vulture community!
Recently, I have been cleaning skulls for some friends and I am having a difficult time figuring out the best way to degrease this skull:
The nose area has quite a bit of grease on the bone and I’m not sure what the best method would be to remove it. The rest of the skull is fine, it’s just that one stubborn spot.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to remove the grease I would be very appreciative! Thank you!!

I did an abundance spell the other night, and I’ve gotten in the habit of taking pictures when I do any spellcraft since my altars are temporary only and I never get to really sit back and enjoy them for long.
all the bones are ethically sourced and all the herbs came from my garden (except the juniper which came from a neighbor’s)
☆☆☆
this particular abundance spell is specifically to draw money in. since my only source of income is my art, this spell mostly pertains to artists, but if you’re able then please feel free to tweak it to your situation.
I usually do this spell on a Thursday or a new moon. first I create sigils for the following: I make more art, I get more attention for my art, and I make money. money does not come from nowhere, its important to be specific about how/where you get the money you’re asking for.
I carve these symbols into a candle (or 3 candles, one sigil each) and place it in a bowl of salt, mint, and basil (or any herbs available that are associated with abundance and prosperity). I also add any stones with the same associations but this isn’t necessary.
I let the candle burn down while I work on whatever ongoing project I’ve got, during this spell I was working on a pair of earrings. I visualize someone seeing these earrings and falling in love with them, and purchasing them.
and when the spell is finished, I use the leftover salt & herbs as a charging mix to place finished pieces in to imbue them with the qualities of this spell in hopes of making more sales.
some photos of chandler, the lastest whitetail deer ive found as roadkill. hes got a peculiar white stripe on each of his hooves ive never seen before. his winter coat is also so soft and gorgeous. ill do my best to honor every part of him i can. ☘
Got this guy today hoping I could find his other antler. I was unable to locate it and upon further inspection of him, his skull was very broken! I just cut his antler off after that.
Another roadkill fatality but I was too late getting to him to save his meat!
Something about this month and Button Bucks.
turns out i live right on a salmon run. i’ve never seen salmon spawning before now
