Ori is a person's anatomical head which contains the brain. However IFA teaches that inside this physical head and apart from brain there resided another entity, a psychic impalpable force, that detertmines the individual's fortune in life. Ori is cognate with the European concept of destiny except that with ori there is a factor of personal responsibility influencing the net effect. Ipin ( a person's lot) Iponri (individual choice) Ayanmo (Allotment) Eleda( creative influence) are alternative names for Ori, describing various facets of this intriguing concept. For this reason it is not surprising that English equivalents offered by writers on the subject also vary in emphasis or nuance.. Lucas calls Ori "The owner of Lord of the Head", " The Spirit which brings Good Fortune", Fagbenro Bayioku calls it "The Real Ego", Idowu prefers " The Essence of Personality ", The Ego", " The inner Person ".

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has stated that worshiping deities (idols), is not a sin against God Almighty as it was part of nature.

It is one thing to unveil a problem and another thing to proffer solution to such problem.  Ebo as it is generally reckoned with, is the key not only to prayer-answering but also a delicate procedure to solve a spiritual problem no matter how deteriorating it could be.  Bearing in mind the delicate approach to Ebo, a Babalawo must understand the nitty-gritty as regards ebo.  He must know or select the right sacrificial items corresponding with what Ifa sees during divination.  For example, when IFA sees Ire aiku for a client, it is the duty of the Babalawo to know all the sacrificial items related to ire aiku not selecting ire Aje items for it.  However, this short article tells you the sacrificial items for every problem or goodness Ifa foresees for you. Àikú (Deathlessness) : Cocks, he-goat, kolanuts, bitterkola,ram, money. Aje ( wealth) : Pigeon, guineafowl, honey, bean cakes, kolanuts, money Omo ( Children) : Rat, fish, goat, ewe, Kolanut, bitter kola, money Ay

Over time in Ifa/Orisa tradition, Ifa divination has played significant role, which had helped to shape the lives of the people for the better. There is nothing on earth that people do not divine on as long as it is beyond the ordinary comprehension.
