Some New Correspondences I Learned!
Hello everyone! So last night I received a beautiful package (deer tips and a mystery curios box) I ordered from ofmothandmoon on Etsy! I didn’t initially order it for my practice (I really love natural curios, ethically found bones, and ‘vulture culture’) but when I opened the package, I immediately felt drawn to some of the items to use in my craft! These items aren’t necessarily ‘mainstream’ (at least I haven’t seen much on them from witchblr) so I decided to research them and share with you guys!
Deer Tips

I ordered three naturally shed deer tips (the pointy part of the antler that deer shed).
Here’s a few facts on antlers:
✴ Antler growth begins during April and May, and continues through summer
✴ At the end of summer around July and August, the antler growth finishes. The deer begin to shed the velvet that encased the growing antlers
✴ Antler shedding, or casting, begins in January and February, and the deer shed what is now essentially dead bone.
✴ The ritual use of deer antlers has been around for at least 10,000 years
And now to the correspondences!
✴ Deer antlers are representative of the spirit of the animal, so all correspondences with deer and stag apply to deer tips!
✴ Masculinity, the sun, fire and earth
✴ Because of the shedding and regrowing of antlers and the timing aligning with the days shortening, antlers are connected to the annual death and resurrection of the sun

Pink Opal
This is the closest image I could find to my piece! Mine was a bit more of a faint pink with a band of gray that went into white. A really gorgeous piece!
✴ Healing subconscious pain
✴ Release of fear, worry, and anxiety
✴ Centering

Raccoons
I got a few raccoon bones in my package and didn’t know much about their correspondences until now!
✴ Curiosity
✴ Resourcefulness
✴ Adaptability
Copper Nugget
I got a little copper nugget as well and had to research if it had any correspondences! Much like its scientific use, copper in the magickal world is used for energy conduction and direction! It is a great addition to a magick wand or any tool you use to direct energy.
Freshwater Pearls
I have never owned or held a real pearl in my life before last night! Freshwater pearls (or any pearls) are closely tied to the moon because of the shape, both being related to water, and their look. Pearls can be used in moon magick and water magick! They are also closely associated with wisdom as well, and come in all shapes, sizes, and colors for your magickal needs!
And babes, that’s about all for this post. While I did get a few more items in my mystery box, I did not feel especially drawn to them in a magickal context (although I do love them in a visual and curios context!) A big thank you to ofmothandmoon on Etsy for this beautiful and carefully curated package! I hope you guys learned a lot from this, because I sure did! I will see you babes in my next post!
