At the end of a ceremony, the priest can use either EVI+EWO (see my post of Apri

l 17th) or four cowries to ask the spirits whether they have accepted the ceremo
ny or not. Five cases are possible here (See picture to follow the description):
Case 1: called Loso/Worin or Eman "draw" means :Yes!
Case 2: is Guda/San or Ta y va "It is the head that has come" means:Restart!
Case 3: named Abla or Aklan means : No!
Case 4: also known as Yeku, means be confident; you're protected.
Case 5: It is Gbe or Alafia means : Peace, your ceremony is accepted.
