Summary

Delve into the Yoruba people’s Ifá religion and build a strong understanding of their 8,000-year-old divination system.

Have you ever wondered where the Yoruba people came from and where they are now?

Are you interested in exploring their historical and cultural heritage?

Have you ever heard of the Ifá religion before and found yourself intrigued?

The Yoruba people’s history is somewhat mysterious, but they will happily tell you that they are from the Nile Valley. That is partially true, and you will find out why as we explore the origins of the Yoruba, and how they eventually settled in what is today called Yorubaland in Africa.

In this audiobook, you will:

  • Find out who the Yoruba are.
  • Understand how Ifá is the touchstone of the Yoruba.
  • Read up on the 16 Commandments of Ifá.
  • Understand the role of divination in the Ifá religion.
  • Learn more about the role of wisdom and intellect in the practice of Ifá.
  • Expose yourself to the Ifá creation narrative.
  • Learn about the origin of divination.
  • Understand why Olodumare (the creator god) is distant from creation.

You’ll be taken through the first four sections of the Odù Ifá and provided with the energetic profiles and roles of the four Odus in each one.

Ifá divination is a complex and layered subject. That is no surprise, considering how the faith has been around for 8,000 years. In this audiobook, you’ll find a detailed overview of historical realities and the philosophical and ethical framework of Ifá, with divination and its meaning to followers as the centerpiece.

No download file for reference content

there's a few places in the book where it refers you to look upon the supporting documentation which is supposed to run alongside the audiobook. but there's nothing to download no file. which is why is getting 3 star's.
