Mythologist, StoryTeller, and Kontomble Diviner

Reda Rackley has her Master's degree in Mythology with a focus on Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute.

She has been studing Dagara spirituality and divination with Malidoma Somé, elder, shaman, and diviner of the Dagara tribe of Burkina Faso, West Africa since 1999.

In 2001, Reda made a pilgrimage to Burkina Faso, Africa to experience intensive shamanic work with the Dagara tribe. She studied with the diviners, shamans and gatekeepers.

One of the most extraordinary events that occurred was receiving a divination by the village diviner. This oracular reading revealed she would be called into service by ancient beings of the Other World to deliver important spiritual messages to this world by becoming a diviner herself.

In January of 2003, Reda made her most recent journey to Burkina Faso and spent 15 days in intense shamanic initiation. Since her return, she now speaks the ancient tongue of the old ancient beings called Kontomble.

Reda now travels the world offering these readings to the special people that cross her path. When one receives a divination from Reda, she becomes a portal, a gateway for the Other World beings to speak through. The ancient ones begin to reveal their messages through the stones, the bones, the shells and other unique objects found on her divining cloth and through the channelled voice of Kontomble.

Reda also conducts women's rituals.
