Le Tshivenda
The tshivenda is an oracle that comes from the African lands and has a reputation for predicting the future and questioning the past. It also has the power to heal the sick and contribute to their well-being.
History and definition of tshivenda
Apart from a few rare exceptions, divinatory techniques in almost their entire total use natural elements to reveal their predictions. Tshivenda is certainly no exception. Traditionally used by Limpopo sorcerers in South Africa to cure patients with psychological and physical ailments, tshivenda combines efficiency and precision. It was first used to diagnose the nature and origin of the harm suffered by patients in order to be able to treat them with the appropriate plants. The tshivenda's indications of the ailments in question were so precise that it was useful to use it to read the patient's past, present and future. The sorcerers, by the position and shape taken by the stones on the ground, were able to decipher all the information necessary for the healing of patients. Although this technique comes from Africa where it is still in use, it is still highly recommended for all those who are interested in healing techniques that use nature, who like messages, initiation paths and who are looking for a different method.
Consultation and meaning of the five stones of the tshivenda
Much like runes, the tshivenda is made on the basis of five engraved stones named griot, jambar, mashona, oduboa and signare respectively. These stones are thrown to the ground while asking the question to which you want to get an answer. After the stones are thrown, a first interpretation is made according to the number of stones that end up on the side of the road. A second interpretation related to the first is then made according to the number of exposed stones. However, it is important to ensure that the question asked is clear and precise. As for the meaning of the stones of the tshivenda, the Griot symbolizes the messenger, the link between men and the afterlife. The Jambar represents warrior, power and ambition. He is the protector against danger or an ordeal to go through to achieve a goal. The mashona is the patriarch, the absolute master who points you in the right direction. He knows how to reward the righteous and punish cheaters. Oduboa symbolizes patience and invites reflection and questioning. Finally the Signare means seduction, curiosity, discovery. Its circulation may indicate an upheaval of the current order, a profound change due to the occurrence of new events.
The interpretation of tshivenda
The final interpretation of tshivenda is based on the number of exposed stones. If only one stone is visible, it indicates your current situation and warns you of possible surprises, disturbances. Two visible stones symbolize duality. It can be your own duality or conflict situations between you and your loved ones. If three stones are visible, the tshivenda invites you to reflect, to become aware. This figure asks that you weigh the against and cons before making a decision, because it is indicative of the delicacy of the question asked. In case you are in the presence of four visible stones, the meaning to be drawn from it is the search for balance in your current or future state, because many things can make you tan. Finally, if the five stones appear, they herald fullness, fulfillment and adaptation in all circumstances.
