Divination is nothing less than inspiration from the divine using standardized rituals to organize and clarify the uncertain and gain deeper insight into the past, the future, and most especially, the present. Introduction to Ancient Yorùbá Divination Systems reveals the mysteries of traditional Yorùbá divination rituals, allowing the reader to gain access to the insight and wisdom of the Odù Ifá. Dr. Ifábùkúnmi Ọ̀nàọlápọ̀ Adéwálé, an authority on Yorùbá cultural practices and a Babalawo (mystical adept), guides readers on their spiritual journeys and makes Yorùbá divination practices both understandable and accessible. You’ll discover the divination usage of such objects as Guinea pepper, kola nut, bitter nut, coconut, peanut, cowrie shell, sacred palm nut, and divining chain. By carefully bringing these sacred tools into states of spiritual transformation, you can achieve accurate and lucid understanding. An invaluable read for anyone on a personal quest for discovery and meaning, Dr. Adéwálé’s examination of ancient Yorùbá divination is of special interest to those in the African diaspora who wish to reconnect with traditional wisdom and ritual of their ancestors. The legendary elders offer divine wisdom; ancient Yorùbá divination will teach you how to listen. Available in Spanish: Introducción a los Sistemas Antiguos de Adivinación Yorùbá
