An Opele (spelled Opuele or Ocuele in Latin America) is a divination chain used in traditional African and African-American religions, especially in the Ifá and Yoruba tradition.

A Babalawo (fortune teller) uses the Opele to communicate with the deity of wisdom/knowledge in the Yoruba tradition (Orunmila), who is capable of identifying the causes and solutions to personal and collective problems and restoring harmony in the life of the people. person through the re-balancing of the destiny of the person and/or Ori (personal deity). The Opele is the minor divination tool used by Babalawos for Ifa divination; it is believed that he is an "assistant" or "slave" of Orunmila, who communicates the wishes of Orunmila to the Babalawo and from the Babalawo to Orunmila. It is used for most daily divination work. For divination regarding important ceremonial revelations or lifetime information about a client or for very important decisions, the Babalawos choose to use their Ikin seeds, which they consider to be the physical representation of Orunmila himself.
