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.
