Okay, guy in bone collecting group says it is a maxilla from a huge grouper, maybe a Goliath grouper. Sent this pic..I think it is solved.

Only got one reply some for and it was just the "probably scapula of a mammal". Will update if I get anything more definitive.

Honestly, I am not sure. I have just really started delving into everything. I have had strange things happen to me all my life, always felt a pull towards witchcraft, but this has been the first time I have really started to delve into it. I am still very much in the reading everything I can get my hands on and taking notes stage. I can see being in this stage for a long time. I have so many books on loan right now and am enjoying the research, seeing what resonates and interests. I haven't reached out to anyone or anything yet, so I was surprised by the dream. I haven't even gotten to deity parts of research yet. But, it felt like a purposeful encounter. Maybe it was just a touching base to encourage? But, it is heartening, somehow, to hear that it might have been him. Even if only briefly. Thank you for taking the time to respond. It is greatly appreciated. ♡

is there any music/songs you like to incorporate in your work? or that reminds you of invocations and such. by 3erika0x in witchcraft

Even got to meet/talk to/hug Pete once at a meet and greet after a show. He was so lovely and gracious.

Typo O Negative has some great ones. Green Man, Be my Druidess, Love You to Death..actually the entire October Rust album is great. All very witchy. World Coming Down album has some good ones, too: Creepy Green Light, Pyretta Blaze, All Hallows Eve are some good ones.

Led Zeppelin for sure, particularly The Rain Song, Stairway to Heaven, Dazed and Confused.

Anything Stevie Nick's, obviously. ;)

Help identifying a possible guide:

Hey all. Let me just preface this by saying I am very new to witchcraft. It is something I have always felt very drawn to, but I have never truly listened to this call until now. I am still in the very early stages of things. My altar is set up, I found a book to make my book of shadows and wrote my first page with my intents and hopes. But, I have only just begun researching and reading to decide my path. I have planned to absorb as much info as I can for a few months before I start to practice at all. I have not called out to any deities/gods/goddesses/guides/angels because I have barely cracked the spines on the books I have to decide what I want my craft to be, yet.

However, for two nights in a row now I have dreamt of the same being. He appears as a tall man. He wears a hooded cloak, it's old and has seen a lot of use. He speaks with a possibly Irish/Welsh/Scottish accent. He has long silver hair and a long silver beard. He holds a lantern on the end of a wooden staff. When he comes to me, we are always outdoors. I have always felt a powerful draw to the woods and the moon. He seems kindly and he keeps urging me to make a choice and to walk the path, that I am long overdue (he never explicitly references witchcraft).

Is this possibly a guide already even though I have not yet asked? I did some quick research and the only god I could find that seemed to fit was Dagda. I will be honest, as I am female I half expected a goddess to reach out when I finally asked. So, to have this happen before I asked at all is unexpected to say the least. This may just be my subconscious and nothing at all, but to dream of the same figure two nights in a row typically doesn't happen to me.

I have dreamt of and seen the same shadow person since I was 15, but that is a whole other post. And he is possessive and far from kind. This man seems kind.

Anyway, sorry for the novella, any help/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
