List of Objects and Their Meanings
Your objects can be anything you desire, but to give you an idea or an example of what you might want to include in your micromancy set, here’s my list of objects:
• Seashell-gifts from the sea; the waters ebb and flow, and lap endlessly on the shore; a visit to a large body of water could be a very healing experience for you.
• Turtle-longevity; the turtle is not in a hurry to get anywhere; wherever he goes, he carries his home on his back. ‘Slow and steady wins the race.’
• Umbrella-protection; a shield from the rain and snow and hot sun; ‘into everyone’s life, a little rain must fall’; perhaps you need to start a rainy-day fund of some kind? Something to tide you over during the adverse-weather periods in your life?
• Square-order, solidity, stability, structure, foundation, the material and corporeal, roots.
• Crown-sovereignty, royalty, where you reign supreme; what is the crowning feature of your life? Supreme confidence.
• Bird in a Cage-trapped, caged, restricted, imprisoned, not able to move forward.
• Owl-wisdom, the night, silent flight.
• Spiral-growth
• Bicycle-travel, transportation, short journeys; perhaps you need to get out more, get more exercise?
• Equal-Armed Cross-relationship, the four directions; on its side, it is Gebo, the rune symbolizing ‘gift’.
• Ladybug-an insect that traditionally is taken as an omen of god fortune, especially if it lands on you.
• Teardrop-tears, grief; is there any old grief in you that has never been purged?
• Closed-Pair-of-Doors-the doors are closed to you; you cannot gain entrance into something-or someone; the doors are hiding something.
• Butterfly-the soul; a free spirit; the ghost of a loved one who has passed beyond the veil; joy
• Telephone-phone call; communication by modern means; perhaps you will receive an important phone call, or is there someone you need to reach out to by phone?
• Carp-persistance in overcoming obstacles; tenacity of spirit.
• Hat-Glasses-&-Moustache-a disguise; someone is disguising themselves or their motives; someone is not what they appear to be; is it you? Putting on a false front.
• Crowned-Heart-with-Wings-the protection of a noble heart. Love lifts us up.
• Fly Agaric Mushrooms-hallucinations; sacred plants that take you on a journey of the spirit; something that grows in secret, something developing behind the scenes.
• Feather-a light touch; softness; take things lightly.
• Circle/Holey-Stone-wholeness; a Goddess-symbol.
• Tree-something strong, vital and growing; family; rootedness; a valued structure in our lives.
• Maple-Leaf-autumn; the cycle of nature; sweetness. Something or someone that blazes brightly before dying.
• Octopus-the odd and uncanny; terrors of the deep; things which make us insecure
• Endless Knot-the cyclical and interrelated nature of all existence. Repetition.
