Live weekly class begins Oct 22, 2026

Oracle of the elements

Learn to interpret the message of the Stones,
 
where intuition becomes the oracle, and every element speaks.

Unveil the Diviner in you

There is a knowing that lives beneath words, beneath logic. An ancient intelligence braided into the bones of the earth and the breath of the wind. This is the knowing that divination calls forth. Not to predict the future, but to pierce the veil, to deepen connection and to remember the sacred conversation between spirit and self.

During the Oracle of the Elements: Casting the Stones virtual training beginning October 22, you will not simply learn divination, you become it. You’ll work with the elemental stones of Fire, Water, Earth, Mineral & Nature (based on the divination system taught by Elder Malidoma), where each element becomes a doorway, a mirror, a messenger of the Other World.

What Awaits You Inside This Training

 Oracle of the Elements: Casting the Stones is delivered over 10 live online video sessions, each carefully designed as a complete arc, opened and closed with intention, and woven with teaching, practice, and real-time group discussions. You will be part of a dedicated cohort, learning not only through your own experience but through witnessing the perceptions and interpretations of others.

By the end of the training, you will be able to sit down with your stones, cast them with intention, and interpret what unfolds with clarity. You will understand how to read elemental imbalances in real-life situations, how to translate symbolic patterns into grounded insight, and how to guide both yourself and others through moments of uncertainty with a steady, ethical presence.

Class begins: Oct 22, 2026
Thursdays, 6:00 - 7:30 PM (EST-NY)
10 Live Sessions
In-person Intensive, Summer 2027

Phase I: Rooting in the Elements

In the opening sessions, you will step out of the identity of a seeker and into the posture of a knower. You will build an intimate understanding of the five elemental forces  - fire, water, earth, mineral & nature - and how they move through your life, not theoretically, but in real, observable ways.

Phase II: Awakening Inner Knowing

Through guided exercises and live practice, you will begin to recognize your “first flash” - the instant where knowing arises before doubt has time to distort it. Then, you will start reading placements and relationships between elements, discovering how patterns form meaning without forcing them.

Phase III: Interpreting the Language of the Stones

You will learn how to ask questions that open pathways rather than limit them. You will practice reading for yourself and then for others with clarity and confidence.

Student Feedback

This course provided me with the most solid and comprehensive foundation I've ever experienced as to how I can work to strengthen connection with my spiritual guidance team, and, how to put this connection into use. The deepened understanding I have gained from the knowledge shared through lecture, discussion, and practice feels surreal. I now am aligned with actionable methods and tools to work with. I walk away feeling empowered.

The Sacred tools you'll work with

ELEMENTAL STONES

Each stone represents an elemental force. They form patterns that reveal what is imbalanced, what is hidden and what needs to shift.

DAGARA MEDICINE WHEEL

The medicine wheel is not just a surface, it is a map. Every direction holds wisdom and every placement reveals a deeper layer of truth.

SPIRIT SHELLS (COWRIES)

These cowries are not just tools, they are messengers. As spirit shells, they confirm direction, illuminating the path that is already forming.

This Is the Beginning of the Diviner's path

The full cowry shell divination system is intricate, layered, and powerful. But mastery is not built by learning everything at once. It is built by developing precision, trust, and skill over time. This is why we first cast the stones. They are the foundation of the divination taught by Elder Malidoma, the north star of the cowry shell divination system.

Working with the elemental stones allows you to focus on the core skills that this divination system requires without becoming overwhelmed by the complexity of over two dozen pieces on the mat. With the foundational stones, you learn how to truly see: to recognize patterns, sense imbalance, and understand how the elements are communicating. You will know how to hold structure, and trust what you perceive by the time you immerse in the in-person Diviner’s Intensive at the East Coast Village (by invitation only).

During the 5-Day intensive, the work expands into the full cowry shell divination system, where multiple layers of insight begin to reveal themselves. It is also where you will engage with the Kontomble, in personal ritual work, and step into initiating elemental ritual interventions (aka prescriptions).

If you already feel called to the deeper diviner's path, your journey begins here. If you know you are meant to sit in that circle, start preparing your hands, your perception, and your presence by casting the stones.

Got Questions?  Please read!

When does the course start/end?

This is an instructor-guided course with live classes and self-paced work. Enrollment will open periodically. Please check the calendar of events. Schedule for live classes will be posted in the chatroom. Once enrolled, you will have unlimited access to course materials, student chat and recordings. 

Will I be certified?

This course is for educational purposes only and does not “certify” you as a diviner. Within indigenous tradition, diviners are not certified. We cannot verify your proficiency as a diviner. That being said, a Certificate of Completion will be awarded to upon completion of the course.

How is this different from the cowry shell divination taught by Elder Malidoma and others?

The course is inspired by the cowry shell divination training taught by Elder Malidoma.  It includes the Dagara numerology system,  the mat divination system and understanding of ritual prescriptions. The difference is in the approach, which includes the hierarchy of divinities, the cosmic ocean as a source of divine knowledge and many more mysteries revealed. 

What if I miss a live group discussion?

The calls will be recorded and posted in the classroom file folder for later viewing. Even if you miss a session, you will still gain valuable insight from the recordings! Plus stay connected in the chatroom.

Is there travel involved?

Yes and no.  The full training is in 2 parts, online and an optional, in-person intensive at the ECV. The intensive, running from Wednesday - Sunday ,continues with the complete cowry shell divination system, as well as connection with Kontomble. Date TBA.

What supplies/materials do I need for the course?

 For full participation, registered participants will need to equip themselves with materials needed for class which will be sent to you after registration.

I'm not able to join the upcoming class, when will this course be offered again?

Possibly. Kindly join our mailing list for future announcements.
