Obi Orisha Divination Course 2.0 Module2.1
Four Cowrie Divination System is the doorway to many other divination technologies. Orisha Pele and Obi Orisha are divination implements specifically for Iyawo and can be learned by those with initiations such as Ilekes, Warriors or a Hand of Ifa. Orisha Pele and Obi Orisha are for those desiring more after becoming proficient in Four Cowrie Divination.
