Ifá divination

Ifá divination is an ancient African spiritual practice used to seek guidance and insight from the Orisha (divine forces). Practitioners, known as Babalawos, use a system of symbolic signs called Odu, which are generated by casting and interpreting sacred palm nuts or other objects. The process involves a skilled diviner asking questions, then analyzing the patterns to provide advice, warnings, or recommendations. It’s a way to understand one’s life path, challenges, and opportunities, fostering harmony and spiritual balance within a cultural and philosophical framework rooted in Yoruba tradition.
