Dreaming of jewellery in Winti: meaning

Within this tradition

One of the striking things in Winti readings is how concrete a dream can be. A dream gives not only a feeling or a symbol, but sometimes an instruction. With jewellery this is very clear: someone who is shown a ring, necklace or bracelet in a dream reads that, according to practitioners, as a sign that a winti or the bigisma want them to have that piece. The advice is then: buy it, wash it and wear it, ideally combined with that winti's bath.

That is connected with sreka and teri, honouring a winti by giving it what is due to it. Many winti have jewellery that belongs to them. Practitioners mention a ring with a white stone for Kromanti, a snake ring for the fodu, a golden comb for the watra mama, an anklet for the apuku and a square ring with a black stone for Adumankama. The jewellery in your dream can thus be a clue as to which winti is speaking.

Jewellery from a deceased relative, or an elder giving you something, is often read as blessing and care from the family line.

When in doubt about which winti is asking you something, or what to do with the jewellery, a luku is the usual step. Dreamkin describes the tradition; what you do is your own decision, perhaps with someone you trust.
