MamiWata from The House Of Patou Cowrie Shell divination

Cowrie shells readings is an ancient and timeless African form of divination where the diviner throws cowrie shells in order to receive messages, insight, vision, and/or guidance from your spiritual court - I relate it to casting constellations with my cowries and reading what has been written in your own personal stars.

At The House Of Patou we give traditional community readings, what does that mean? you may ask 

I will start by mentioning that our Cowrie shell readings are NOT a psychic reading, this means that my MamiWata will not be snooping around to see what your future might hold, She won't tell you what job you will be entering into next, She won't tell you what your future partner will look like, and She won't tell you to place numbers for the lottery! although MamiWata spirits do posses the ability to see the past, Prescence and future, here at the House Of Patou we keep things traditional and practical.  

traditionally, people of the community would go to see a diviner in regards to very specific situation in order to receive divine guidance, insight, and advice from their Ancestors and personal deities in reference to what they CURRENTLY need help on, I relate this too a counselling session, or a family therapy when your ancestors are present.

So before booking a reading with The House Of Patou, or any other practitioner for this matter, first ask yourself "Do I need this reading?" "Why do I need this reading?" "What situation/challenge do I need higher guidance in?" . Most individuals get a reading with no specific questions that they need clarity on, and these are what we call "general readings" which is absolutely fine!  Your Ancestors and spirit guide will always have somethings to tell you either way. However, before booking a reading with me ensure that you have taken the time to first consult your spiritual court by yourself, and for yourself, as at The House Of Patou we (my spiritual court and I) are all about assisting you on cultivating your own relationship with your Ancestors and spiritual guide to ensure you receive the message in which they have sent to you. In most cases your spirits will come through with a message, vision, or guidance... If then you are having trouble interpreting the visions, or need more clarity on the signs and symbolisms, or require extra validation on what your spiritual court has told/shown you, you can book a reading with my MamiWata in order to get more clarity with said vision/message/dream ect. 

DREAM INTERPRETATION: NO CONSULTATION IS NEEDED. If there is a dream in which you wake up from, and you remember every, if not most, detail, its most likely that your spiritual court is trying to send you a message. Sometimes the messages received in dreams can be quite cryptic - especially if we are unaware of our signs and symbolisms; our spiritual court can, for lack of better words, beat around the bush sometimes! but this is only because they want for us to have fun, and wisdom, in decoding the message in which was sent. If you're having trouble understanding your dreams as a whole, or elements of your dreams, my MamiWata will assist in helping you decode the message, connecting it to your waking life, and assist you in taking the next step (if any steps are required) according to what the dream is telling you.
