ABSTRACT
This chapter seeks to explore multiple ways of knowing and modes of negotiating meaning and authenticity in indigenous African epistemologies. While African divination systems have attracted robust scholarly attention, some new dynamic aspects of the divinatory process merit further scrutiny. I demonstrate how and to what extent the resilience and transformation of divinatory systems and practices in indigenous African religious traditions and in African-derived religions are generating power discourses of meaning and interpretation centered on new ways of knowing. I will focus on instances of the global dimensions of African indigenous religions and spiritualities and the proliferation of virtual-based religiosity showing how the appropriation of smartphones, iPods, and iPads for divination has catapulted the perceptibly indigenous religious practice to a new level of innovation. 1
