We will examine the importance of divination in the ancient and modern Kemetic tradition; how we as spiritual practitioners are charged to approach the art of divining; and gain an innerstanding of what makes for an intuitive and profound spiritual reading/reader. We may also talk about the various tools that are used in divination and their significance to us as Black women/witches. #blackwitchconvention #bwc2017 #presenter #featuredspeaker #blackwitch #indigenouswitch #witchesofcolor #hoodoo #voodoo #santeria #atr #lucumi #palo #ifa #shaman #getyourticketsnow
