    What should I do with these goat horns?

    I recently had to bury a goat - poor guy his name was little billy. Anyway I salvaged his horns (with all ethical precautions taken) and im wondering what ritual tool i could make out of them. Only I have no need for another wand. They are about 8 inches long are the shape of about a quarter of a circle. Thanks in advance, this is my first post here.

    Make a hilt for a small blade
    Make a mask that uses horns as decoration
    Affix them to a drawer or cabinet as a handle
    Make another wand and sell it or give it away

      Use them to make macrame!

        I like the idea of a mask like Juniper suggested.

        You could also make a wicked-looking staff (with some creativity):

          I'd walk around with a staff like that!

          Not to hijack the thread, but I think I still have some young deer horns that I was going to turn into a mask accessory... but it's not happening any time soon. If anyone here wants them, I will ship them to you. I only want cost of shipping covered, I don't want money for the horns themselves. I can post pictures later when I get home.

            Just as an FYI, it's likely illegal to ship those across international borders. So it'd have to be within the US only.

              Australia would destroy them first, then ask the questions: :=S:

              A review of Australia's quarantine procedures is underway after historic and valuable plant specimens from France are destroyed by biosecurity officers.

                In most cases, as long as the animal is not on a protected list, it shouldn't be a problem...

                "Most cases" and "Shouldn't" are the operative words here - it depends on the country.

                In the US, for example, any part of any animal legally taken can be sent to any state - the exception is with bear parts, where laws vary state by state.

                Plant material, if viable (seeds or living plants) are actually more of a problem. Animal parts don't replicate and overrun the environment. Plants may.
                Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

                  Times do change. My Grandfther who was in Canada in Calgary,had a knife made from an elk horn as the handle of a folding knife. AS the story went he sent it back to France to have the knife made. IT was a beautiful knife.

                  My GF btw was from France and settled in Calgary.

                    Ah thank you for posting this information. I hadn't even thought about those restrictions. Truthfully, I have no idea what they are, or where they came from. They were given to me by someone who didn't know this information either.

                      Yeah... I've sent stuff towards Aussie before and folks have said it's never shown.
                      We are what we are. Nothing more, nothing less. There is good and evil among every kind of people. It's the evil among us who rule now. -Anne Bishop, Daughter of the Blood

                      I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
                      It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
                      Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.
