Jon uses a form of cowrie shell divination that originates from the Dagara culture in Burkina Faso, West Africa.
This system of divining is rooted in a lineage that is thousands of years old. Jon was introduced to and taught this technology by initiated elder and shaman Malidoma Some'. Jon worked with Dr. Some' beginning in 2006 when he participated in his first 2 year Indigenous African Spiritual Technologies (IAST) training. Over the following 15 years, Jon continued to work with and assist elder Malidoma
with teaching other students in the IAST trainings, co-facilitate community rituals such as a 5 day Grief Ritual and help lead a Jouney to Africa in Burkina Faso in 2018. Following a one year formal apprenticeship, Jon eventually received elder Malidoma's direct blessing to carry this indigenous technology and community rituals to the larger community. Elemental Divination uses shells, stones, bones, and other objects on a cloth that serve as messengers of Spirit. Jon employs the guidance of his Ancestors and specific medicine spirits to provide clear and relevant information for the seeker. The scope of this work includes nature-based ritual, energy attunement, emotional release, inner journeys, shrine building and talismanic medicine for healing and protection. Readings can offer insights into many aspects of one's life including original purpose, personal "medicine," relationships, work, health, and money. Along with an increased awareness of internal and external obstacles and confirmation of latent ideas or intuitions, divinations also provide "prescriptions" as part of an action-based approach to personal healing and fully engaging in the life you came here to live. Prescriptions serve a wide variety of purposes including personal cleansing and purification, recalibration and protection, release of old imprints, energetic balancing, increasing abundance and removing blockages to the flow in one's spiritual path. An old idea says that each of us arrives here with a specific gift. Likewise, we are also wounded in a very particular way. Wounds to the soul can block the threads of genius trying to make their way out into the world. Understanding the unique nature of both our gift and wound opens the way for our personal medicine to flow in greater proportions. If you are feeling the need to uncover and activate innate gifts to live your soul's purpose, to shift your energetic constitution in order to live more harmoniously, reconcile inner conflicts and splits, or access Ancestral support then Elemental Divination can assist you. Readings can be done in-abstensia (long distance) as well.
