DESCRIPTIVE MECHANICS OF THE IFA DIVINATION SYSTEM

1. A conceptual focus on "two-truths" or complem- entarity (tibi tire ejiwapo).

2. Mathematical forecast of ibi and ire using "odd" and "even" counts or the exponential power of 2. 3. A basic dichotomy of ibi and ire framed as two mutually exclusive propositions.

4. The arrangement and manipulation of symbolic or binary signatures (I or 0 and II or 1), in a 4x2 matrix structure, to forecast the outcome of each proposition.

Who is Esu?
Esu is primarily a special relations officer
between Orun (heaven) and Aye (Earth). He is
the “inspector – general” or the confidential
secretary of Olodumare, which makes the final
recommendation to Olodumare for the latter
approval. He also reports on regular basis to
Olodumare on the deeds of men and divinities,
incorrectness of worship in general and
sacrifices in particular.
Traditions have it that it is only the Babalawos
[Ifa priests] that understand ESU inside – out.
In fact,

Understanding the Egungun (Revered Ancestors).

1. Where do the Egungun live?

The Yoruba do not have a "heaven" that the dead roam around in and chat to each other as in the Christian myth. Such a place is completely superstitious. The Yoruba word "orun" does not equate to heaven but just means the spiritual realm. It is not a "place" but a part of the dual aspect of the one world which is a union of the physical and spiritual.

In IFA when a person dies, they don't go to a "heaven" but their spirit lives on thru you.

The Yoruba afterlife consists of Reincarnation. However, what distinguishes African reincarnation concepts from Indian versions is that Africans explain that you reincarnate from your ancestors and into your descendants. The Indian version is another side crafted by Aryans to deceive the Black Indians into believing that they can reincarnate into other castes so there's no reason to fight against the higher castes but just hope to reincarnate into it in the next life.

It is here that Ifa advises us never to abandoned Ifa in order for us as a people not to be removed from civilization or for us not to find ourselves in obscured places or aberrant ways of being. It is during this year, as we are coming to the end of one Odu year and soon entering another; which gives us an opportunity to break the cycles and patterns that have chained us to generational trauma by reaching out and embracing Ifa with our whole hearts. Thus, never abandoning Ifa and passing on into our children routing our dysfunction and

Yorùbá "Ẹ kú" Greetings...

In the beginning, the people called Yorùbá today used to call themselves Ọmọ ilẹ̀ káárọ̀ o jíire (Children of the land where they greet you “Good Morning, Hope you woke up well”).
Káárọ̀ is a diminutive of Kú-àárọ̀ (Good morning). For this reason, the Yorùbá are also called The Akú from their salutations.

"Ẹ kú" or "A kú" is a reoccurring phrase in Yoruba greetings and when it comes to greetings, the Yorùbá go the extra mile! We have greetings for every situation you can think of.

Ignore the simple advice in this proverb and you do so to your disservice. We live in a world in which when you are always gentle and quiet, people like to

bully you around. They will take your leniency to be a weakness. And unless you show people that your being quiet does not mean you’re dumb or your being gentle does not mean you’re a doormat, people will take advantage of you.

Yam was discovered by Òrúnmìlà in the first dynasty of Ilè-Ifè, the cradle of the Yorùbá race, when he was a king, according to history as bequeathed to us by our ancestors. He was regarded as "Oba Je Isu, Je Epo" (The King that eats yam and palm oil). As one of the best sources of carbohydrates for human nourishment, Òrúnmìlà handed the hallmark of the preservation of yam and its fertility to Odùduwà in what was both a profound insight and an important historical expansion. It was fascinating to celebrate the

When next you see any of these things in real life, the first thing that should pop in your mind, like it just did now, should not be JuJu.

Don't be afraid either. You don't even need to start covering yourself or anything with any blood. The first thing that should come to your mind on seeing these totems next time should be, "another person's belief."

Sometimes, People also derived their names from the Odu of Ifa that was casted for them during ESENTAYE, a divination done after the 3rd day that a child was born.

This process is done to ascertain all about the child. And some people bear a new name after Ifa initiation. Ifa like a dictionary gives us the definition,

Ifa is wisdom, Ifa is knowledge.
Ifa is the word of Orunmila, who has learned everything directly from Olodumare (Fate, he/she creator of all things).
Ifa teaches us that, for a person to have a good life on earth, they must align its own destiny, that is to know what have been chosen before incarnating in this lifetime.

This is done having ITEFA (Ifa initiation) where, through a ritual that lasts several days, you will discover in which Odu Ifa came the person. Each of us in fact born in an Odu Ifa, or vortex of energies that, when combined,
