Babalawo Fakunle Oyesanya, President, ADACI Nigeria
performs the libation

Libation to the Ancestors. The Babalowa holds a kola nut, which he breaks
into pieces with his teeth andthen throws them on the floor to read the message.
He does this three times, then tells us what is communicated.

Babalawo Fakunle Oyesanya fills his mouth with water and sprays it.

Pouring libations.
