About this book
The first book to provide complete, specific instructions for casting the obi oracle of the Santería faith. Uses the shell of a coconut, which embodies the spirit of Obí, as a divination tool. Examines in depth the five basic patterns that appear when obí is cast and explains how to interpret the oracle's answer. Explores the fifty additional patterns and meanings contributed by ten orishas closely associated with the orisha Obí. One of the paths to the spirits within Santeria is through a divination technique known as obi, the coconut oracle, which gives the petitioner access to the orisha of the same name. The orisha Obí began as a mortal human who ascended to become an orisha as a reward for good deeds done on Earth, then fell from grace because of excessive pride. When he descended back to Earth, his spirit was embodied in the coconut palm. Though he no longer has a tongue, he can answer questions posed to him through the patterns made by four pieces of coconut shell cast as a divination tool.
