About this document
Understanding Búzios and Ifá Divination by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the origin and practice of the game of cowrie shells in Brazilian Candomblé versus the Ifá oracle in Nigeria. The author argues that the cowrie shell game in Candomblé is not correctly based on the principles of Ifá and Odù and that the arrival of the Ifá cult in Brazil revealed many "nonsense" that the babalorixás said about the cowrie shell game.
