The listing, PAGAN / WICCAN CRAFTS: HOW TO MAKE DIVINING SCARABS (PLUS HOW TO USE GUIDE!) has ended.
CRAFT PROJECT: Divining Scarabs
Here is how to make your own set of divining scarabs for use with the "Scarab Divination". Also included WITH the instructions to make these, is a guide on Scarab Divination and how to do it. :)
INFO ON SCARABS:
The scarab beetle was sacred in Egypt from predynastic times. It was thought of as a symbol of solar energies, since the beetles took flight in the hottest part of the day, when the sun was strongest. One of the earliest sun gods, Khepera, was pictured with a scarab beetle in place
of his head.
In ancient Egypt, scarab beetles were often carved of stone or molded from faience, a kind of clay with a high quartz content. Scarabs are still made in Egypt in large quantities today, sometimes mixed with the feed of turkeys or other fowl to give them an appropriately "ancient" appearance when retrieved after the birds have digested them. This is one reason why you may want to make your own scarabs!
