Sungka Divination: Perfect Timing for Love, Career, and Personal Growth

As a meditation coach, empath, clairvoyant, and claircognizant, my life has been deeply intertwined with spiritual practices that transcend time and space. One of the most profound gifts I received came from my great-grandmother, who introduced me to the art of Sungka—a traditional Filipino game that has served as a tool for divination in our family for generations. Through her teachings, I not only learned to play the game but also to embrace its deeper, spiritual purpose.

Sungka, for me, has always been more than a game; it’s a gateway to understanding the flow of energy in my life and a powerful tool for connecting with the wisdom of our ancestors. My great-grandmother Lola Ines saw something special in me as a child—she believed I had the ability to tap into the spiritual realm, and Sungka became a means for her to test my gifts. The game, with its carefully laid-out pits and seeds, was her way of guiding me to see beyond the surface, to listen to the whispers of the wind and the patterns of the clouds—a practice that I’ve come to know in my adulthood as cloud and wind scrying.

For many years, I denied these gifts, unsure of their place in my life. But when I finally accepted my intuitive abilities and spiritual path, I knew it was time to return to my roots and embrace divination once again. I sought the mentorship of Baylan Batara Gat Baya, a respected and knowledgeable babaylan (shaman) in Filipino traditions. With his guidance together with the presence of my great grandmother, I honed and advanced my skills, mastering the highest level of Sungka divination. This journey helped me refine my ability to interpret the game’s messages, connecting even deeper with the spirits and ancestors that have always been a part of my life.

Sungka: More Than a Game

Sungka is a Filipino game of strategy, typically played with shells or stones and arranged in two rows of seven pits. However, what most people don’t know is that the game has ancient roots as a form of divination. It shares similarities with other Mancala games around the world but has its unique spiritual and cultural significance. Through the precise arrangement of the shells in the pits, I connect with the energies of the moment and channel messages from Our Ancestors.

In my personal practice, I use Sungka not only for myself but also for my clients. It's a powerful tool to determine the perfect timing for important decisions, such as when to travel, when to start a new career, or the best dates to plan significant life events. By reading the patterns that emerge from the game, I am able to provide insights into the best course of action, as well as the obstacles or opportunities that may arise.

Sungka and Mancala: The Connection and the Differences

Sungka belongs to the larger family of Mancala games, which are found in various cultures around the world. While Mancala is primarily a game of skill and strategy, Sungka has evolved into something much deeper in Filipino culture. While Mancala players focus on winning the game through careful moves, Sungka diviners—like myself—use the game as a mirror to reflect the spiritual energies at play in one’s life.

In my experience, the difference between being a diviner and a reader is crucial. Anyone can learn to play the game and read the patterns, but it takes a deep connection to the spirit world to truly interpret what the game reveals. A diviner isn’t just looking at the arrangement of shells—there’s an intuitive understanding that flows through the practice, a knowing that comes from a place of spiritual connection and ancestral wisdom. As a diviner, I can channel messages from our ancestors and the spirit of the Sungka, which are often rich with insight and guidance.

The Messages Sungka Can Reveal

When I read the Sungka, I’m not just seeing shapes in the shells. I’m communicating with energies that transcend time, space, and even my own understanding. Through the game, I can gain clarity on various areas of life, including the perfect timing for important decisions and actions:

• Career: Sungka helps me uncover the right time to make a career change or pursue new opportunities by providing specific dates for when the most favorable energies will align for success. This ensures that you move forward at the most opportune time.

• Love: Relationships often require careful timing. Through Sungka, I can uncover the best dates for strengthening relationships, addressing compatibility, or resolving emotional dynamics. It helps in finding the ideal moment for crucial relationship decisions.

• Money: The flow of wealth can be influenced by timing. Sungka reveals the best dates for financial growth, such as when to invest or seek new opportunities. It can also pinpoint moments when financial challenges may arise, allowing for better preparation.

• Family: Family dynamics are deeply influenced by ancestral energies. Sungka helps reveal the ideal dates for addressing generational influences, healing family wounds, or initiating meaningful connections. It provides guidance on the right timing for family gatherings or important discussions.

The Power of Connecting with Our Ancestors

Through Sungka, I not only receive guidance for myself and my clients but also connect with the spirits of our ancestors. I believe that this practice is not just about interpreting the game but about honoring the wisdom of those who came before us. The spirit of the Sungka itself plays a crucial role in these divination sessions, providing clarity and direction.
