This is the marriage arrangement that people of European origin define as polygamy, polygyny or polyandry.  Just as monogamy is advised by Ifa; there is no direct prohibition of polygamy. Ifa advises on the problems inherent in such a relationship, leaving the choice to the person to make.  In Odu Òyèkú - Méji (MJO), Ifa advises establishing balance by matching appropriate application to appropriate situations. Ifa illustrates some of the problems inherent in polygynous relationships and advises balance. ÒYÈKÚ - MÉJI: Ì yí tẹ́ẹ 'yí 'dó Ẹ má yí ìkòkò bẹ́ẹ̀ Tẹ́ẹ bá yí ìkòkò bẹ́ẹ̀  Inú Al'ámọ̀ a bàjẹ́ Inú Ol'ódó a máa d'éfun N'ítorí odó ni igi ìkòkò l'amọ̀  Ọ̀Kan pééré-pééré 'Un l'obìrin ndùn mọ lọ́wọ́ ọkọ  T'ó bá di méji A d'ejó   T'ó bá di méta A d'ọ̀pá àlàyé pọ̀nràn pọnran  B'ó di mẹ́rin  A d'èèyàn k'éèyàn B'ó d'àrún  A d'àjẹ́ Tó bá di mẹ́fà  A ní kí n'Ifá ọkọ àwọn nf'óbìrin í ṣe   T'ó ...

Attention has been drawn to the unsurprising info spitted out by a self-acclaimed "Babalawo" of whom I have only known as just a Nollywood veteran whose role has contributed immensely to the development of the industry. His assiduity on Irúnmolè that they are irrelevant and that, Èṣù (plus other orisas) to be precise is just a mere laterite rock that can't speak nor eat visibly. Hence, it is "futile". This is totally untrue, the role of Èṣù in the sphere of Isese is ultimately pivotal to its effective success, as a "Babalawo" and as an "Olori awo of ìfiṣe Èkìtì" why would you not have Èṣù in your domain? It would be of great shock to many if you do not know or decided to look away from the great importance of Èṣù in the Isese domain.  In your words; "anything that has a name ofcourse exists". This contradicts your take on Esu as well as other deities.  Your assertion is the same as that of a layman who of course has a mi...

What is EDAN (Ògbóni) ? By Chief Fayemi Fatunde Fakayode, Ibadan, Nigeria  By saying Ẹdan and Ògbóni, what we mean is Ẹdan, the Òrìṣà and the Followers. Ẹdan is an Imọlẹ̀ or Òrìṣà while Ògbóni is/are a devotee/devotees of Ẹdan.  Ògbóni is a sect or denomination of Ifá Religion in Oòduàland (Yorùbáland) and their place of worship is called “Ilédì”. Ẹdan is one of the Imọlẹ̀, Divinities created by Olódùmarè. Ẹdan was not among the set sent by Olódùmarè and she therefore remained in Heaven when others came.  As seen in Ifá, when there was no stability in the World, Ọ̀rúnmìlà consulted Ifá and was told to invite Ẹdan from Heaven. She honoured the invitation and came to the Earth. With her arrival, new system was introduced to the governance of the World. She introduced a system whereby a chosen knowledgeable elderly people see to the affairs of each community. Ògbóni is the name given to the group formed by the devotees of Ẹdan. These people must be honest and fa...

Ifa can simply be defined as the esoteric word of Olodumare which was used to create the universe and its fullness in the beginning and which hitherto still remain binding.   The esoteric word consists of sacred element which is forever constant and eternal.    That sacred element is no other thing but the “Truth” which must be upheld by all men and regarded as sacrosanct in order to live according to the Will of Olodumare.   This sacred word of the beginning also became a body of knowledge and databank into which all the knowledge of life is encoded for humans to make use of.   Guidance and counseling deals with the process of helping individuals discover and develop their educational, vocational, and psychological potentialities and thereby achieving an optimal level of personal happiness and social usefulness. It helps an individual to mould his destiny in a way that will not only serve his own interests but also the interest of the whole society. The mai...

My attention was drawn to a post on Facebook asking about the purpose of Ile Ori when you have other Orisa icons.   The writer went further to state that the only house of  Ori that is legit is the body.  My response to the post is based on the misunderstanding of Isese spiritual concepts and the malapropic use of words to define, explain, or translate isese spiritual concepts.   In the course of defining and translating Ifa words/ohun Ife, there is a need for a good comprehension of the subject matter.  Otherwise, it will create a wide communication gap that will make nonsense of the subject.   During cross-cultural communication, translators need to be mindful of the nuances of the language and the creative use of words to convey the message and ensure that the original meaning and tone are not lost in the translated texts.   The focus should be more on the meaning than the words, as this helps avoid communication gap ...
