Kuba divination
Kuba Divination is a form of divination used by the Kuba people of central Africa.
Kuba divination is practiced by specialists called ''ngwoom''. According to historian John Mack, divination is used to gain access to the knowledge which only the spirits, called ''ngesh'', possess about the source of social and physical ills which may affect a community. It serves two main purposes: detection of thieves, and determining the cause of illness.〔Mack, John.

==Ngwoom==
Kuba diviners (''ngwoom'') maintain the proper relationship between ''ngesh'' and humans. Even with the establishment of Christian church congregations in many Kuba communities during the 20th Century, ''ngwoom'' and other specialists whose expertise derives from ''ngesh'' continue to practice.〔
