Onaje Woodbine (GRS'13) and his wife, Folasade, demonstrate the Yoruba Ifa divination process, and how their new app for iPhones, iPods, and iPads can be used in divination training. View the story on BU Today:
Hello brother, may the creator continue to bless you as you contribute to the advancement of our religion. However, kindly note that the tech device may not be able to replace the Ifa divination tools (chain, kennel and kolanut) as they are anointed before use. No mentor (Awo) will anoint a tech device. Just an observation.
IFA is a Body of Knowledge or a Book of Enlightenment. It embodies philosophy, religion, literature, mathematics, psychology, sociology, cosmogony and cosmology. It does NOT based solely on YORUBA RELIGION, as introduced above. Please note. Thank you.
IFA DIVINATION is not a religion per se. IFA DIVINATION is a BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE or a BOOK OF ENLIGHTENMENT comprising philosophy, the autochthonous religion, psychology, sociology, anthropology, cosmology, cosmogony, mathematics and many other areas of human interests.
there is nothing that can be developed that can replace a deep relationship with human Babalawo because every Babalawo has a distinctly different knowledge/wisdom base so there is no app that can replace infinite wisdom in Ifa
What a giant stride in bring the reach knowledge/wisdom of yoruba to the technology space . Thanks for a job well done. More grease to your elbow .LOVE YOU .
Ifa is not a religion per se. Ifa epitomizes the Book of Knowledge or the Book of Enlightenment that embodies religion, philosophy, sociology, mathematics, psychology, anthropology, cosmogony, cosmology and other areas of learning. It was cultivated by divinity-philosopher Orunmila. Truly, a cutting-edge invention for an autochthonous religion. Good idea from an ingenious mind!!!
Um yeah there is lol Ifa is both the system and a nickname for the deity in charge of bringing the system to the Earth in it's teachings.... So Orunmila.... Is also referred to as Ifa.
What in the what?!??!?! Ase!!!!! Where do I find this?!??! I'm heading to Africa in August for Initiation and learning first hand. I have my Opele and this would be extremely helpful in memorizing the Odus!
