Mikyia mo (Greetings) ODWIRAMAN Members,​ UAB-ODWIRA ADEBISA - Aakhuamu Oracular Divination: 20th Solar Return UAB-ODWIRA ADEBISA is the major form of adebisa, divination, used within Aakhuamuman Amaruka Atifi Mu, Akwamu Nation in North America. Divination or spiritual consultation is an integral component of all expressions of Nanasom - Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) Ancestral Religion, wherever Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans~Black People) are found in the world. This includes Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) in North, Central and South Amaruka (america) and the Caribbean today who are descendants of those who were taken from Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa) during the Mmusuo Kese (Great Perversity/Enslavement era), yet survived, waged war against the white slavers and liberated ourselves. In Akan culture the term bisa [bee'-sah] is a verb meaning to inquire, to consult, while abisa is a noun meaning inquiry. The phrase ko bisa means to go (ko) ask, inquire, consult (bisa). This is a phrase typically used when describing the act of someone going to ask, inquire or consult the Abosom and Nananom Nsamanfo - the Deities/Divine Spirit-Forces in Creation and the Spiritually Cultivated Ancestresses and Ancestors. The term ade means thing, object, entity. The term adebisa [ah'-day bee'-sah] therefore means things asked, inquired or consulted about. Adebisa is an Akan term for spiritual consultation or divination, a major feature of Akanfo Nanasom - Ancient Authentic Akan Ancestral Religion. Through adebisa one learns from the Abosom and Nananom Nsamanfo the nature of past, present and potential future circumstances and events in relation to our thoughts, intentions and actions as measured against the standard of Nyamewaa-Nyame Nhyehyee (The Supreme Being's Order - Divine Order). Adebisa operationalizes Nanasom, Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) Ancestral Religion, which is properly defined as the ritual incorporation of Divine Law and the ritual restoration of Divine Balance. Adebisa is not only about seeking answers to overcome obstacles or exigencies. We use adebisa to learn. Just as one can sit down and open up a book or log onto the internet to learn facts about various subjects - to study - so do we use adebisa to learn about, research and study any subject imaginable. The Abosom and Nananom Nsamanfo in concert with your Okra/Okraa (Soul/Divine Consciousness) will inform, direct and position you to come into contact with individuals and information concerning the subject you queried about for confirmation and further study. Oracular divination systems of Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa) are the original 'books' that we opened and continue to open in order to avail ourselves of knowledge of all things in the physical world and the spirit realm. In Aakhuamuman Amaruka Atifi Mu, Akwamu Nation in North America, we were given a form of adebisa which is affected through the use of 'nworaa' and 'nsuo'. The Akan term 'nworaa' references the shells of 'aworaboa', bivalve marine mollusks or shellfish. The term 'nsuo' means water. The number of nworaa in our system of adebisa reflect the Akradinbosom, the Abosom of the solar, lunar and planetary bodies which govern all cycles in Abode (Creation). These Abosom are: Awusi, Adwoa, Bena, Abenaa, Awuku, Akua, Yaw, Yaa, Aaba, Afi and Amen Men. The nworaa are cast in the nsuo and the Abosom speak to and show the adebisafo what the Okra/Okraa of the querent has conveyed. Our year of 13017 (2017) marks the 20th anniversary of UAB-ODWIRA ADEBISA being established as the major form of divination for Aakhuamuman Amaruka Atifi Mu. This unique form of divination is an expression of cockle-shell (seashell) water-gazing divination in Hoodoo - Akan Ancestral Religion in North America. It incorporates the Akradinbosom - the Abosom (Deities) who govern the solar, lunar and planetary bodies which govern our Akan 7-Day week in a unique fashion. The Akradinbosom also govern all natural cycles in Creation inclusive of plant life, animal life, mineral life and Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) human life.
