How the game of Búzios in Umbanda works

If you need to talk to an orixá, the first step is to look for an Umbanda terreiro to ask the local father or mother of saint to help you. After preparing the environment, the pai or mãe de santo will assemble the board where the Búzios will be played in search of answers.

There are a variety of approaches to the game of Búzios in Umbanda. Some terreiros play four Búzios, others 16, and others 21. There is no rule about the best way to talk to the orixás, but in Brazil the most common method involves playing 16 Búzios.

Learn to read the game of Búzios in Umbanda

The reading of the game of Búzios in Umbanda should only be done by pai and mãe de santo, as only they can get the correct answers from the orixás. The uninitiated and unauthorized to play the game can even throw the Búzios, but the result is nothing more than a random arrangement of the pieces, without any meaning.

The most common reading of Búzios involves the analysis of how many were left with the natural opening downwards and how many were left with the natural opening upwards.

Many Umbanda nations believe that if the whelk falls with the natural opening upwards, it is considered “open”, otherwise it is “closed”. There are, however, terreiros that use the exact opposite language: if the natural opening is upwards, the conch is closed.

It is also important to point out that the game of Búzios in Umbanda has its oval side cut, so that the part opposite the natural opening becomes a hole. This is important because, otherwise, the whelk would always fall with its natural opening facing downwards, as it is a flatter area.
