Okay, so, let’s talk about this cowrie divination thing I tried out. I’ve been seeing it pop up all over the place, and honestly, I got curious. I mean, who wouldn’t be, right? Fortune-telling with seashells? Sounds kinda cool, doesn’t it?
First off, I had to get my hands on some cowrie shells. Not just any shells, mind you, but the ones that have had their tops cut off. These are special, apparently. I found a shop that sold them, and yeah, they were a bit pricey, but I figured, why not? It’s for the experience, you know?
I did some digging online to figure out how this whole thing works. It turns out there are different ways to do it, but the one that caught my eye was using four shells. It’s called “Obi divination” or something like that. The idea is you ask a question, toss the shells, and the way they land gives you an answer.
So, there I was, sitting on my living room floor, four cowrie shells in my hand. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and asked my question. I won’t tell you what I asked, that’s personal. But let’s just say it was something I really wanted to know.
I tossed the shells. I opened my eyes, and there they were, scattered on the floor. I’ll be real with you, I had no idea what I was looking at. I had to go back to my notes, checking what each combination meant. Some say, cowrie shells are like a connection to some spiritual stuff, they can be a bridge, you know, some feminine power or something. Well…I’m not sure if I felt that at that moment.
The Moment of Truth
- One shell up, three down: This means “maybe” or things could change.
- Two shells up, two down: This is supposed to be a “yes,” but not a strong one.
- Three shells up, one down: This is a strong “yes” and good things are coming.
- All shells up: This means “Alafia,” which is like a super “yes” and even better than you hoped for.
- All shells down: This is a “no” and you need to change your approach.
Guess what I got? All shells up, baby! Alafia! I couldn’t believe it. It felt like winning the lottery, except instead of money, I got this amazing, positive answer to my question.
Now, I’m not saying this is all scientific or anything. But it was definitely a fun experience. And who knows, maybe there’s something to this cowrie divination thing after all. It’s like, the universe gave me a thumbs up, you know? I feel like I was blessed at that moment, which is pretty awesome.
So, yeah, that’s my cowrie divination story. If you’re looking for a sign, or just want to try something different, maybe give it a shot. You might be surprised at what the shells tell you. Just remember to have fun with it, and don’t take it too seriously. Or do, it’s up to you. Either way, it’s a pretty cool way to spend an afternoon, trust me.
