Ifádivination scholar

Ifá divination is a traditional African spiritual practice primarily associated with the Yoruba people of Nigeria. It involves a system of divination that seeks guidance from the Orishas (deities) through a trained practitioner known as an Ifá divination scholar or Babalawo. Using a sacred set of palm nuts and a divination board, the scholar interprets patterns that reveal insights about a person's life, challenges, or future. This practice emphasizes connection with ancestral wisdom and is integral to Yoruba spirituality, providing counsel and support based on spiritual knowledge.
