I'm a Sangoma Traditional Doctor, received my initiations and completed 'thwasa' in Swaziland under Zulu Elder and Master Sangoma PH Mntshali.
Diagnosis and divination with bones isn't something you're going to find a lot of written information about because the information is passed through ancestors and an oral, shamanic tradition.
A man by the name of David Cumes is a both a wonderful traditional healer and medical doctor, a past associate of mine and one of the other three Sangoma TDR's here in the States. He wrote a wonderful book about his thwasa and initiations in the Zulu Mystery Traditions titled, Africa in my Bones
that's as good a resource as you're going to find regarding the Zulu bone casting tradition and this ancient practice....... I am so sorry to do this to you, but this post has been moved to my new website, Divination, and can be found in its entirety here: The Zulu Bone Casting Tradition
Blessings of love! i am a Sangoma and I am happy to see the post about and by a Sangoma. Many people outside of S.A. do not know about Sangomas or Inyana the Traditional Healer/ Doctors highly respected in South Africa. The medical Drs are even curuious how we cure people using the bones and communication with the ancestors. Thank you! Makhose Amakhulu Thokoza.
