Ifá • Ise'se' • Orisha | Divination Certification-oriented training This is an example of a Shango Pele. It carries the correspondences of Shango with the classic Red and White. It mirrors the Obi Abata in divination status and is for those who are ready to move beyond 4 Cowrie Divination. This Orisha Pele, in this case Shango Pele provides all the divination findings of 4 cowrie shells with its five(5) possibilitiess and for the Aborisha extends to nine(9) scenarios. In the hands of a competent Iyawo, Orisha Pele provides all 256 ODU. The 'Koleoso- Oracle of Tehuti' is a natural extention of principle By Baba Koleoso and his integration of Yoruba and Khemetian divinations.  It combines  Yoruba casting sytems, Europeon Tarot and Khemetian divination into a single oracle system. The evolution of the divination space in the diaspora yeilds 5 familiesof possibilites from Four Cowrie Divination, the 9 outcomes from  Obi Abata castings, the 14 spheres from the Khemetian Tree of Life and extends well beyond the 256 Odu from  Ifa.
