(often spelled Isaatalaja ) refers to a traditional system of divination or spiritual interpretation, primarily used within some West African Islamic and Yoruba cultural contexts. It is often associated with the interpretation of bodily sensations, such as "twitches" or "pulses" in specific parts of the body, believed to be omens or messages.
Typing “isatalaja” instead of “itsetutkiskelu” is easy due to similar consonant/vowel patterns when a non-Finnish speaker hears the word. isatalaja pdf
