Erindinlogun is a Sacred Olorisa Isese divination system used to communicate with the Orisa, receive guidance, and bring alignment to destiny. This training is offered with reverence for lineage, practice, and spiritual responsibility, guiding students into disciplined study and ethical practice.
What Is Erindinlogun?
Erindinlogun, known as the 16 Cowries Divination system, is a sacred Yoruba oracle used to communicate with the Orisa and receive guidance regarding destiny, alignment, relationships, health, and spiritual responsibility. This divination system is rooted in ancestral wisdom and oral tradition, transmitted through disciplined study, ritual practice, and ethical conduct. Erindinlogun is not a tool of prediction alone, but a system of discernment, counsel, and right action, guiding individuals toward balance and clarity in their lives. Each configuration of the 16 cowries reveals an Odu (sign), carrying messages, teachings, and spiritual instruction. These Odu speak through story, proverb, and verse, offering insight into both the seen and unseen forces influencing a situation.
At Yeye’s Sacred Feminine Arts, Erindinlogun is taught with reverence for its language, lineage, and responsibility. Students are guided to approach divination as sacred spiritual guidance to be practiced with care. This training honors Erindinlogun as a living system of communication between humanity, the ancestors, egbe and the Orisa.
