The Diloggún is an ancient divination system from the Yoruba tradition that uses sixteen consecrated cowrie shells to establish direct communication with the Orishas. When the shells are cast onto a mat, patterns called odus are formed, each containing spiritual messages, teachings, and warnings. Through these signs, the priest interprets the Orisha's guidance, offering direction on personal paths, emotional balance, important decisions, and harmony with ancestral energy. It is a sacred practice that requires respect, preparation, and profound knowledge.
