| Divination was something olden-time Marshallese doctors used to learn about something they didn’t understand. This was part of sorcery and of medicine. Divination was important for medicine, for discovering thieves, and for locating lost objects. It was used in medicine for diagnosing the sickness of a person, what medicine to use, where to find the medicine, and whose responsibility it was to apply the medicine. The time for medication was another thing divination showed. The things used for divination could be coconut fronds, shoots, pandanus leaves, sennit, stones, and leaves. |
