Introduction: African Divination Systems, Bone ReAdings & Vodou Priest Psychic Readings
African Divination Systems and Vodun Priest & Priestess Psychic Readings. Learn about African Divination Systems including Bone Readings, Shell Readings, Kola Nut Readings and Divinations from the African Traditional Religions (ATR). Divination is the sacred practice of seeking guidance, clarity, and messages from the spiritual realm. In African Traditional Religions (ATR), divination is often described as the Voice of God — a way for initiated Priests and Priestesses to interpret signs, symbols, and sacred objects to reveal insight into life’s questions.
At Erzulie’s Voodoo in New Orleans, our initiated Vodou and Santeria Priests and Priestesses use these powerful tools — bone readings, shell readings, kola nut divination, and more — in every psychic reading and spiritual consultation. These systems are not casual practices; they require years of training, spiritual attunement, and devotion to master.
This overview is part of our Spiritual Summary Series™, provided by Babalawo Manolo, one of my favorite Padrinos, and family members, straight outta Miami – and designed to acquaint you with the foundations of African divination systems and their role in authentic Vodou traditions.

Many of our initiated Vodou and Santeria Priests and Priestess use these tools, or a combination of these tools, in every psychic reading and spiritual consultation offered at Erzulie’s Voodoo in New Orleans.
