Fortune Telling with Cowrie Shells/Sea Shells. South Afrian Tradition. I pass this place up almost everyday and decided to check it out! I like trying new things so there I go! Mama(that’s her name) spoke spanish real fast! I understood every other word. but she used shells it was awesome trying something new. but it was well worth it. although her son have taken over the business she is beginning to retire, but she still working part time. It works like this you hold two rocks shake them in your hands until she tells you to stop then you hand over the rock in your left or right hand which ever she tells you but at the same time she is studying the Crowrie shells. lol! its a trip to see. but I will go back. She is a sweet women. I imagine her sons speak english.
