ENLIGHTENMENT: COWRIES is a book intended to help mankind understand himself better and to be cautious of those around him. The Proverbs and Readings of Yoruba reflect back to the religious beliefs and practices of the peoples of West Africa. Divination was adopted by the Dahomeans and spread to the New World by their descendants. An honest diviner seeks to interpret the mysteries of life, to communicate the messages of the Orishas and Spirits, give guidance, alleviate controversies, unveil the past, and help to face the future. ENLIGHTENMENT: COWRIES will lead the way in man
