Any initiated Priest in Lucumi can do this. Ifa is not Lucumi and has their own divination. But you are right in saying this can only be properly used by an initiate. The proper use is 16 shells with a possible combination of 256 odu each toss. This looks like an attempt at using shells for obi
This was a great video! I have two questions, is cowrie shell divination a closed practice? and I've seen sets of 4, 9, even 16 of cowrie shells; what is your opinion on other sets or if I should stick with 4?
Hello, the shell divination system for Yoruba or Ifa is 16 cowrie shells. Obi and other forms of divination that use more than 4 shells but less than 16 are derivatives of Ifa divination system.
Hey Porsh, the simple answer is yes. As a metaphysicalist/spiritualist etc, you can use whatever divination tools that you’d like as long as the tools are cleansed, consecrated and or dedicated to your ancestors before you use them.
Hello, I know how to calculate time using tarot cards. With other forms of divination, you can ask a question pertaining to time and use the shells to confirm or deny. I hope this helps. My apologies for the late reply.
Hi AJ, how about a video on spiritual cleansing. Can you give me more details on your candle. I was thinking about doing a video on how to read candles you know candle Magic. Which one would you think would be helpful?
Sigh. Another non initiate trying to use a complex divination system they know nothing about lol. Santeria / Ifa is not a do it yourself new age energy system. It is closed and initiation only. But go ahead girl. Keep playing lol.

It’s important to note that only initiated people in IFA can use this divination tool to connect with Orisha.

Never mind, I see why….
