Course Overview

SwamiG Institute • 501(c)(3)

This curriculum advances the student beyond basic yes/no divination. Four-Cowrie work establishes the foundation language and discipline; Orisha Pele extends that foundation into deeper interpretive movement and applied reading.

Outcome: a student who can cast, interpret, and communicate results with structure, clarity, and competency — culminating in certification completion.

Prerequisites

Readiness checklist

Four-Cowrie Shell Divination experience
30 days minimum practice
Dedicated casting surface
Ability to attend weekly Zoom
Access to Orisha Pele implements
Commitment to certification

Four-Cowrie Shell Framework

Foundation language • 5 possibilities

The course uses the Four-Cowrie naming framework as the baseline. These states are the structural “anchor” for Orisha Pele expansions.

Open	Name	Notes
4	Ogbe	Core reference state (foundation for Week 1)
3	Etawa	Core reference state (foundation for Week 1)
2	Ejife	Core reference state (foundation for Week 2)
1	Okana	Core reference state (foundation for Week 3)
0	Oyeku	Core reference state (foundation for Week 4–5 integration)

Key idea: Four Cowries establish structure. Orisha Pele reveals movement, nuance, and layered outcomes.
