Throwing the chamalongos (coconut shell discs) is one of the most basic forms of divination in Palo Mayombe, the quickest way to receive guidance directly from the world of the dead.
Speaking through the patterns of the various throws, the spirits help the palero determine whether someone’s roads are open or closed, how their personal energy is, and whether they’ve had any negative witchcraft directed at them.
Paleros also throw the chamalongos to find out whether the spirits can do a particular job, what obstacles stand in the way and how something needs to happen in order to be a success.
If you have specific questions about the direction your life and need someone to divine on your behalf, please contact me today.
Pleae note : Complex, multilayered or ambiguous questions don’t work in this context, so please have the confidence to ask your questions in the most concrete possible terms.
For example:
“Is ____ sexually attracted to me?” (Yes or No)
“Would it be good for me to move to ______?” (Yes or No)
” Should I accept a job at company ____?” (Yes or No)
Etc.
