Caracolomancy
Shell divination is a broad description for symbolic readings with shells, using potentially very different systems.
How to approach it
A reading begins by recognising a sign and relating it to a question. Describe the observation first, then explore its associations: the image opens a reflection rather than imposing a conclusion.
An important distinction
This website's application is its own three-shell adaptation. It does not conduct a religious diloggun or Ifá consultation.
An example to explore
Read each shell according to its displayed position, distinguishing that rule from the practices of a religious tradition.
Taking the idea further
In this website’s application: Cast three different shells from a catalogue of 16. They represent past, present and future; the final message combines their colours according to this application's rules. Retrying preserves the draw.
