What’s Inside?
The book offers both theoretical insight and practical guidance, teaching readers how to prepare and use the cauris (cowrie shells) for African oracle reading. Rich in ethnographic context, it unveils the animistic traditions and sacred symbology that have remained largely unknown in the West.

Why You’ll Love It:
Perfect for collectors of rare spiritual books, ethnology enthusiasts, and practitioners of African traditional spirituality. This book is a rare opportunity to access authentic teachings from Burkina Faso’s divinatory wisdom, illustrated with care and depth.

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Minimal shelf wear. All pages intact.

All my books are extremely rare and out of print, a great opportunity to own ancient occult wisdom which is hard to find these days.
