A babalawo, who is a priest or diviner in the Yoruba tradition, reads a person through the process of divination using the Ifa oracle. The babalawo will invoke Orunmila, the Orisha of wisdom and divination, and then cast 16 palm nuts or cowrie shells, interpreting their patterns to provide guidance, insights, and solutions to the individual's questions or concerns. This reading involves a deep spiritual connection and insight into the person's past, present, and future.
