As I have started to delver deeper into the mysteries of fortune telling and fortune tellers I have been looking at how different cultures foretell the future. I have previously written about Asian Fortune Telling and with this article I will tell you about African Fortune Telling.
Because Africa is such a large continent with a wide variety of cultures it is impossible to pinpoint one method, however the primary method for fortune telling in Africa is by the casting of bones, which also means throwing or rolling the bones, sort of like dice. The bones may be pieces of bone, or teeth, or they may also be shells or pieces of wood or stones.
Now you may be asking yourself, if I am interested in something as simple and modern as a free online fortune teller, why do I care about an African fortune teller who is sitting around casting bones? Simple - in order to believe in your online fortune teller you need to believe in your African fortune teller. If you don’t believe in one you can’t believe in the other.
So, let’s learn more about African fortune telling.
So how do the bones show the future? Simple - there are markings on each bones and after throwing the bones the fortune teller must analyze the markings plus whether or not the bones are touching each other. For example, if two bones are marked with death and after being thrown they are not touching each other, that will mean something different than if they were touching each other.
The interesting thing about African fortune tellers is that they are sought after for their wisdom - their practice is not viewed as a scam or negative in any way.
