Spiritual Readings & Divination
Divination is part of many traditions in Africa and around the world. A reader casts or lays out objects such as shells, bones or stones and reads the pattern they make, as a way to reflect on a question or a stage of life.
This page explains what a reading from Witch Doctor Shakir involves. A reading is for personal reflection and cultural insight. It is not a fixed prediction of your future, and it will never tell you that you are in danger or cursed.
What the ritual involves
In many traditions, a reading starts with a question. The reader then casts the objects and talks through what the pattern may mean for you. Shakir explains the method and the objects used during the reading.
You decide what you want to ask about. Shakir talks the reading through with you, and you are free to take from it what feels useful.
Shakir is based in Kenya, on East Africa Time (UTC+3), and is available day or night. Readings can be done remotely by phone or video call, or in person. How long a reading takes is agreed at the start.

Common questions
Can a reading tell me exactly what will happen?
No. A reading is a way to reflect, not a fixed forecast. The future depends on many things, including your own choices and other people's.
What if the reading shows something bad?
A reading is never used to frighten you. You will not be told that you are cursed or in danger, or that you must pay to avoid harm. If something worries you, ask about it and take your time.
Can I ask about my health, a court case or money?
You can reflect on any part of your life. But please do not make important medical, legal or financial decisions, or stop any prescribed treatment, because of a reading. A doctor, a lawyer or a financial adviser is the right person for those.
Do I have to book a ritual after my reading?
No. A reading stands on its own. Whether you ask for anything else is up to you.
