Taking a darker turn

I personally love to walk into the forest. It's a peaceful place and I feel great away from stressing home life. However, no matter where I wander, I keep finding skeletons, bones, and occasionally a rotting corpse (They're all animal. Nothing human). I have been going to many different locations so I don't understand why wherever I go, I find death.

Whenever I go into the forest, I follow my intuition and wherever it may lead. My only issue is that it leads me to the things stated above.

I guess my only questions here is, why do I keep finding these things, does it have any meaning or am I just paranoid.

I have similar experiences. I've found too many animal remains to count at this point. My family has actually joked about me being a death magnet before xD

From my experience, it isn't necessarily something to be concerned about. Continuously finding these remains led me to start collecting bones (only from the animals that it's legal to collect from, of course), and I found that to be quite rewarding; it's allowed me to use bones left behind by trophy hunters who only wanted the animal's head and put the bones to use, which makes me feel as though I'm giving the animal's death more purpose.

I've also been drawn to bone reading because of this, which is now my favorite form of divination, and I utilize bones in my craft quite often and found it to be an effective and honestly lovely addition to my practice. I also view animal remains as a good way to form a connection to a type of animal (I have deer bones from a buck on my altar to connect me to that sort of wild, untamed, powerful energy that I associate with the animal, for example). If you tend to stumble upon a certain animal's remains, such as generally finding foxes or deer, perhaps there's some sort of connection between you and the animal?

Other than the above, I think signs of death can be an omen of rebirth and renewal. Perhaps a large change will occur, or something that's no longer needed will be left behind in favor of new and brighter things.

If none of the above sound right to you, feel free to disregard them; I just thought I'd share some of my experiences with the same situation. Hope you find answers either way!
