Cowrie-shell divination refers to several distinct forms of divination using cowrie shells that are part of the rituals and religious beliefs of certain religions. Though best-documented in West Africa as well as in Afro-American religions, such as Santería, Candomblé, and Umbanda,[1][2][3] cowrie-shell divination has also been recorded in India, East Africa, and other regions.[4]
