Ifa Divination Animated & Explained 

Are you saying performing rituals (shedding of a fellow human's blood) in order to be rich or successful is not demonic. Just a question though.

@@oligbindefunso4442 Where in Yoruba traditional spirituality is it written or said that human beings must be sacrificed? You cannot judge a book by its cover except you open the book and read it. My point up there actually refer to individuals like you. You don't have an idea of what you are condemning. In fact Orunmila denounced using humans for sacrifice. Which mean that people used to do such in the past. It's therefore an abomination to do such in present day. A genuine Babalawo will never do such because they are under an oath. And not everyone claiming to be Babalawo or Onisegun are genuine, some are evil trying to extort money from evil people like them. And Oniseguns are not Babalawo. Only Babalawo use Ifa and Opele, and whatever they do, they must first consult Ifa. For one to have wealth, you have to follow the laid down principle of "Aje". Who in his right sense become wealthy without a business, or through a salary job. While Europeans have tricked you that your spirituality is demonic, they stole Ifa 256 binary codes (thanks to American anthropologist William Bascom), which was eventually researched and used to develop the computer, which also rely on 256 bits codes. You can only know something by educating yourself, not by hearsay. Ifa is the only spiritual system that use the language of the universe, mathematical binary codes. Even the information that is stored in your DNA which makes you what you are, a human, uses a code of repeating units of 4 nucleotides. Ifa also combine 16 different units of 4 binary numbers to get its 256 binary codes. That's why technology is being proposed to use synthetic DNA for storing information. We Yorubas shouldn't be lazy. We've alllowed ourselves to be fooled by European antics. They still from you while you look away. We have a lot of work to do to explore all the ancient knowledge system left for us by our ancestors, and develop them, and drop those that are not perfect. So, Ifa is beyond religion or spirituality, it has philosophy, mathematic, politics, history, physics, etc. It's the knowledge of Orunmila that define you as a Yoruba person because the entire philosophy of the yorubas was laid down by Orunmila, and experiences of the Irunmoles during the early days of creation. Let me give you a work to do. Why is it that within Nigeria, it's only in Yorubaland that women has considerable more control compared to other tribes or parts of Nigeria? That though husbands may present themselves as heads of the family but still regard their wives as the "igi leyin ogba", who must not be pushed behind. The answer lies in the past and in Ifa.

Well Mr. Ade, yes a book is not judged by its cover but that cover speaks a lot about how much attention it gets. U practice Our traditional religion but I choose to practice Christianity, what's the error or 'bad thing' in it. We both call on Olodumare if I'm not mistaken, so why should there be a condemnation with that. To clear the air like u said Christianity only preaches against the evil elements(and those are whom I'm talking abt in my statement) whom u said are not babalawos. But because these elements are now 70%-30% of the babalawos the religion itself have rather than flush these elements out they chose to blame Christianity and the Islamic religion for their condemnation. Like I said Christianity only condemns the evil elements and if you think you fall under the condemnation that means you are part of them and if not continue with ur worship and condemn no other religion for ur predicament. As far as I know I'm convinced with that the way I worship Olodumare is acceptable before Him. Let's not get things twisted, pls.

@@oligbindefunso4442 research and get to know other practices including yours before you past judgment. Your question although valid is already sounding bias . The world now has information on anything . Take the time to look it up learning about it before passing judgment.

@@franksantiago5223 talking about research or teachings what we have today says it all and there's no judgement being passed. All I'm saying is for every religion there are fanatics and faithfuls. Any assumed condemnation by Christianity is not against any religion but the fanatics. Unfortunately for the traditional religion you'll find 70% of those who practice the religion to perpetrate evil. While the 30% who practice righteously are silent and overwhelmed. So is it Christianity or Islam that the teaches them how to use it for evil? So why blame other religions Christian also have these fanatics who use the teachings of the Bible to perpetrate evil but on the contrary, 35% fanatics and 75% of righteous worshippers. These 75% keeps condemning these evil elements and not any religion. Same with Islam 45%-65%. Rather than blame any religion for your Religious. Worship faithfully and let the Almighty judge you as a person and not as a religion. No religion is responsible for religions woes it's the worshippers. Period.

Asé ooo!

Point of correction it is not the orisa that called you. It's Olodumare; the Almighty God who called you. Through the orisa that you believe in.

This is why I’m here. I randomly got called. 💖

for how long? and what is the cost of this call?

IFA protected me.IFA rescued me. IFA saved me. IFA keeps me. IFA continues to keep me, spare me, lead me and to build me. May IFA lead us! Asé oo Study to show thyself approved. What God has for you, IT IS FOR YOU Many are called, Beyond blessed are those chosen by IFA. Olodumaré is with us, May our All-powerful Creator always be❤️ Asé oo Stay Strong Brothers and Sisters💪🏿 -SignedShangosDaughter

Where can I go to learn more?

There are a lot of great options. A good beginner book is The Handbook of Yoruba Religious Concepts. For a scholarly overview there is also a chapter in God is Not One by Stephen Prothero (an intro to all of the world religions)

​@@egyptrodriguez856Let's troll the troll. There is no hell. There is no need for a Savior because there is no hell. If there is a hell, only Christians will go because it's their hell😅.

@2967_ lol what you believe in science, baby Jesus and hell is as real and necessary as the invisible air you need to breath. Scientists and spirit callers call Jesus to shut down the heavy spirits, not Buddha and they claim to not believe so I'm convinced. Lol get some light and joy plz. Ur life sounds empty

@HBO You don't have to give up Islam or Christianity or any religion that you follow to be a part of the Yoruba tradition. That's one of my favorite aspects of santeria.

And Traditional Isese is practiced in the United States as well. Especially heavily with black Americans who have returned to Africa to actually study and embrace the true essence of Ifa.

christ is kimg!

No one asked you 👋

Are the Orishas similar to the archangels of Christianity?

@@somethingsomething5571 Sounds like consulting mediums and fallen angels to me. Days of Noah are here.... Its gonna get worse in the coming months.

@@somethingsomething5571 not quite, they are channels through which you access olodumare (God)

From my understanding I wouldn't use d word biased. It's just to differentiate between Olodumare and the Orissa as not being on the same level of power and authority. But we have misinterpreted it. Most Traditionalists emphasize more on the orisa and not the Olodumare who sent then. And I guess that's where the whole issue is brewing.

Search there are plenty. I'm PR it's santeria or Afro cuban. But thats a big if because all caribian islands practise this religion in one form or another for ions this is nothing new it's other than christiananity 4000 years other.

I just needed a quick way to transition to the idea of reincarnation and since the capriciousness of life is well respected within Yoruba thought, it seemed appropriate.

lol I jumped out of my seat,🤣 and I was at work.
