WHAT'S IFA? IFA DARE PARAPHRASED!

Ifa is the totality of Yoruba's spiritual, moral& natural philosophies.

Spiritual philosophy as in the sacredness of the Yoruba elixir of creation or divine intelligence - Olodumare, and Its visible manifestations in nature (I.e. the Orisas).
Further, as in Yoruba creation story and eschatology (I.e. the concepts of Egúngún, reincarnation (Àkúdàáyà), and transmigration of soul - Babátúndé, Ìyábọ̀dé, Ọmọ́túndé etc). And finally, as in the concepts of Orí, Kádàrá and Àkúnlẹ̀yàn
Moral philosophy as in the concepts of Ọmọlúàbí (Ìwàpẹ̀lé, Ìwàrere, Sùúrù ebo ruru) etc.

Natural or scientific philosophy as in the concept of Orí (initial condition), duality- Tibi tire, "two-truths" or binary principle (base 2), probability and randomness, determinism and
uncertainty, geomancy, recursion, info theory, chaos theory etc.

In the Oodua nation that we've proposed, a high school graduate will be able to use Ifa to formulate the sequential order in the evolution of knowledge& explain all known subject areas, from Law to quantum physics.
