Cowry Shell Divination
Readings of shells, bones and stones to connect with the Ancestors and Spirit.
Source
Cowry Shell Divination as practiced by Shanny was brought to the world by African Elder Malidoma Somé Ph.D. This modality for divination or reading of the shells was developed by Somé from his indigenous upbringing as well as his studies of Western thinking.
Human Spirit
Along with cowry shells, the reading has many symbolic items which represent the human psyche.
Ancestral Connection
Through close connection to ancestors and helping spirits, the shells and items take on a life and meaning of their own which has the capacity to guide us into clarity and a way forward in our lives. This guidance awakens within us a deeper connection to our inner voice and self-power.
Scenarios of doing this work include:
-
Feeling out of sync with yourself and needing guidance to come back into balance
-
Receiving guidance and information to take into consideration when a significant decision is to be made
-
Receiving information to clarify subtle energies or to receive clarity on moving forward. Oftentimes a Cowry Shell Divination on a land and building healing will highlight the next steps.
