Abstract

In Madagascar, beliefs and mentalities are reflected in divination by sikidy. Into the diagonal lines of the mother sikidy are also widely used. Into are considered to be true expressions, and sources of the making of talismans, by combining with plants. Reading the into used on talismans considered sacred avoids overly fanciful interpretations of divination by sikidy.
