OkayAfrica Presents: 'The Adinkra Oracle' with Simone Bresi-Ando

We will be getting our lives with the help of our ancestors in this new monthly series featuring Simone Bresi-Ando's Adinkra Ancestral Guidance Cards.

OkayAfrica is proud to introduce The Adinkra Oracle—a new monthly series that's our answer to the horoscope craze that's taken over the internet.

As astrology enthusiasts consult the stars for guidance, why not consult our ancestors?

Simone Bresi-Ando is a Ghanaian-British PR expert, social commentator and activist who developed Bresi-Ando Tools For Living—a lifestyle hub providing 'tools for life' to help one get through the ups and downs utilizing what we already have, to manifest what we want.

One of her tools you'll be getting to know through this series is the Adinkra Ancestral Guidance Cards—a deck comprised of 44 Adinkra symbols to help you channel information, messages and direction from your ancestors using Adinkra symbols. As many may know, the Adinkra is an ancient language linked with the Akan people of Ghana and the Gyaman people of Ivory Coast.

Starting in August, Simone will give us an oracle reading from her codified cards and share what we need to hone into and keep in mind to have a fruitful month.

Watch below.

You can also get in tune with your ancestors with your own set of Adinkra Ancestral Guidance Cards, available on the Okayshophere. In celebration of this new series, take $10 off from today through Sunday, August 4.
