What is Ifa divination?

Ifa divination is a spiritual and physical investigation into you and helps to bring clarity and clear directives on the wisdom and knowledge on how to connect to your highest potential. Throughout the IFA Divination areas of your personal life that needs help and will be revealed. IFA divination helps us to keep in alignment on our destiny an restore harmony. 

The concept and art form of Ifa divination is derived from Yoruba customs and traditions.  It is the highest form of divination amongst the Yoruba people of South West Africa Nigeria. Ifa practitioners are all over the world. During the Trans- Atlantic Slave Trade many West African captives were forcefully brought as slaves but they held onto their original customs.

​​

For example, before Colonialism i.e. Christianity and Islam, it was a tradition for a mother and father to take their newborn child to a traditional Ifa Priest for a birth divination, the outcome of this divination gave a perfect description of the new born child' character.


IFA divination contains the history, mannerism, science, art and poetry of a people’s way of life. Ifa lets us know through divination if we are on our destined path or if we have strayed off our path. It is through Ifa divination one can understand the nature of obstacles and the solution to solving them.


How Will IFA communicate to me during my divination?

Ifa divination is how the ancestors and gods (Orisa) can communicate with us.

Those who are sanctioned to access the wisdom of Ifa, through divination are called Babalawo and Iyanifa, they are the mediums between Ifa and the client. Ifa divination is not only a body of knowledge but it contains cultural values, history, science, social, medicinal and emotional expressions. Ifa divination is the system our ancestors used to solve family, institutional, governmental, and personal problems. It is through Ifa divination that one can find answers to life challenges and situations. IFA divination helps provide a formula for us to use. This is in order to help guide us towards manifesting results which will help us walk our true purpose in life.

Career path, one’s strengths and weaknesses in life, one’s taboo's, one’s spiritual path, health conditions and their relationship with their family and community.






What takes place during IFA Divination?

The Ifa divination process is an enlightened experience, this is a time when Ifa, the Ifa priest (Babalawo or Iyanifa) and the client is in the sacred space of Ifa, the Ifa priest is the medium between Ifa and the client. During the divination session the Ifa priest will either use a divining chain called Opele or the Ifa priest may use sixteen palm nuts called Ikin Ifa, these tools are used based on the client’s situation​ The Ifa priest will pour libation to pay homage Olodumare Ifa Egungun Ancestors to Esu Elegbara, and pray for the success of the client, then the Ifa priest will cast the divination tools to interpret the signs that have been revealed.

During this spiritual investigation the client will be given the wisdom, knowledge, messages, directives and the formula that he/she must adhere to, to have positive outcomes. 

The client will also be given certain rituals (ebo) that will have to be performed so, that the client situations can change to a well-balanced outcome.


What happens after Ifa divination is performed?

There is a spiritual prescription or prescriptions given to you, this is known as ebo (sacrifice). See IFAGlobalsite article (“What Is Ebo"?) It is strongly advised that this spiritual work must be done within a certain specified time which is told to you after your IFA Divination reading is complete. After the spiritual work is done, the Ifa priest will have final words and prayers for the client or devotee.



How long does an Ifa divination takes?

It depends on one’s purpose for coming to Ifa. 

it can range from 30-45 minutes to an hour, sometimes

longer. It really depends on your current circumstances and the verses or stories of the odu being explained . 


Will just one IFA Divination solve all my problems

Although this would be good . One divination will not solve all your problems, that is why we advise that a person should receive an Ifa divination reading at least once every two weeks to a month to make sure that they are on the right path and nothing will interfere within the growth. As humans we are faced with lots of challenges in life ranging from health problems, financial problems, poverty, enemies, relationship problem etc. During the divination process, whatever areas of your life needs strong attention and elevation. The IFA Priests by the guidance of  Ifa will reveal it and give the remedy to solve it. The IFA system is a bit by bit process. The IFA system requires patience and working gradually towards reaching our highest   potential in life.​


Do I have to be part of the IFA Tradition or a devotee in order to receive an IFA Divination?

No, anyone can receive an Ifa divination. Ifa does not discriminate against anyone outside of its culture i.e.  Christians, Muslims, and many other religions, non- religious and cultures have come to the foot of Ifa seeking its knowledge and wisdom to restore order and elevation in their lives.


How often as a newcomer should I receive a IFA Divination?

New beginners into the Ifa traditions, should receive an Ifa divination AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE, most people do every week , or every two weeks or when they feel unbalanced , when they feel like there is a problem , when there is a problem, when your mind tells you too, every Ose Ifa , the minimum once a month and all devotees should always make Ifa Divination and ebos frequently to ensure successful results and maintain balance in there life.



Why do I need to pay for my divination and ebo?

Ifa divination and spiritual work is a service. The Ifa priest are using their long years of hard work and acquired knowledge to enter your experience to adjust whatever changes are necessary to make your situation well balanced. The concept of Money in Ifa is part of the ebo, the giving up of something to receive something greater is how Ifa determines ebo (sacrifice), so paying for your Ifa services means you are making ebo (sacrifice).​​
