Ifá

Ifá is a traditional African system of divination and philosophy practiced primarily by the Yoruba people of Nigeria. It involves the consultation of an Oracle, which interprets signs and symbols to provide guidance on various life matters. Central to Ifá is the figure of Ọrunmila, the god of wisdom and knowledge. The divination process typically uses a set of sacred objects and binary systems to make predictions and offer advice. Ifá also encompasses a rich body of poetry, proverbs, and spiritual teachings that reflect cultural values and beliefs, providing insights into human existence and the universe.
