Buzios e Cartas: Jogue

Cowrie Shells and Cards: Play combines consultation, study, and interpretation in a modern, visual, and easy-to-use experience.

Ask a question, choose the theme of your consultation, and cast the cowrie shells to explore a contextual reading based on the result obtained.

The app was developed to serve both those who simply want to have a consultation and those who want to better understand the meanings, narratives, paths, and contexts associated with the cowrie shell divination.

Main Features

• Digital game with 16 individually simulated cowrie shells
• Manual registration for those who use physical cowrie shells

• Interpretations adapted to the context of the question
• Library with Odù, narratives, paths, and sources
• Learning mode with modules and exercises
• Glossary of terms and concepts
• Private diary to record your consultations and reflections
• Session history saved locally on the device
• Different levels of reading depth

A reading that considers the context

The same fall can be observed in different ways depending on the question presented. Therefore, the application does not only use generic phrases associated with each result.

By informing the theme of the question, such as relationships, career, money, or decisions, the app selects the aspects of the corpus that have the greatest relation to that context and presents a clearer and more relevant reading.

For those who want to learn

In addition to consultations, the application has an area dedicated to study. Explore the Odu, learn about documented narratives, compare paths, consult sources, and practice through exercises.

For those who own their own cowrie shells:

Use the physical drop mode to launch your cowrie shells outside of your phone and manually record the position of each of the 16 pieces.

Privacy:

Your queries and notes are stored locally on your device. The question can be optional, and the app does not require an account to use the main features.

Important:

The app has a cultural, educational, reflective, and entertainment purpose. The interpretations presented do not replace professional, medical, psychological, legal, or financial guidance and should not be used as a guarantee of future events.

Learn about the cowrie shells, ask your questions, record your experiences, and explore different ways to interpret each query.
