Divining practice is found in every African societies. From Western Afric to Eastern, from Northern to Southern Africa, divining occupies the central attention of the people in order to measure socially crucial events and superantural happenings. In this paper, my aim is to study symbolism, logic and social function of divining device. For the purpose, I am going to analyse amathambo, divining bones, in Zulu divination.
Amathambo have a number of elementary characteristics. (1) Theme bone mainly represents the patient or those who is troubled. (2) Protective bones invariably represent lineage ancestors. Also there are some bones representing luck, good wishes and benefaction. (3) Malevolent bones stand for witches or familiars. (4) Assistant bones construe relationships, such as, sickness, happiness, jealousy, death, among the three types of bones already mentioned.
An individual divining bone is meaningless until it exhibits a structural relation to other divining bones. Therefore a diviner gives weight to the total configuration of divining bones during the divining consultation. Each divining bone holds meanings according to the position and direction in which it falls or points. Two pairs of binary opposition are employed to draw menaing from the configuration. One is a positive-negative polarity. A divining bone can come to rest either in a convex position (overturned) or in a concave (upright) position. The first carries a negative charge (-, death, sick), the second is viewed positively (+, live, active).
The second binary pair of meanings has to do with the direction in which the bones point. A theme bone is always at the centre of a bone reading and the rest are read in relation to it. For instance, when a witch bone has its head towards the theme bone, it generally has a negative meaning (-) for the theme bone : i.e. it indicates sickness or declining health for the person it represents. If the witch bone points away from the theme bone, the meaning becomes positive (+) : getting better, becoming full and increasing in power. Each bone can display anyone of four possible qualitative meanings, emerging from the conjunction of its position and alignment.
The divining set encompasses the range of social relationships in a community. As Junod declares, It is a resume of their whole social order, of all their institutions, and the bones, when they fall, provide them with an instantaneous picture of all that may befall them (Junod, 1927, Ⅱ : 571). In fact, it constitutes a symbolic map in miniature f the whole social and cosmological order.
