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.

You are speaking high truths brother.

But it is primarily a yoruba way. The igbo way, for instance, is Omenana

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

I like the idea of it for fact checking babalowos that interject a lot of their personal opinion into readings.

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.

hi, what is the name of the iOS app?

@yemi-dprince7993 4 жыл бұрын

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!!!

Ifa is not a deity, Ifa is a verb signifying divine probabilities. There's no Orisha called Ifa.

@goddessaset 3 жыл бұрын

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.
