Cowrie Shell
Cowrie Shell (Buzios)
Cowrie Shell (Buzios) reading is the art of foretelling the future used by traditional African religions.
It is how us here on this plane can communicate with the Orixas (nature Gods). The shells can only be used by Babalorixas (priests) and Yalorixas (priestesses) to answer questions (like how to improve our lives, what is blocking our spiritual and material evolution, etc.)
