Ifa-Orisa is the traditional spiritual discipline of the Yoruba people from Southwest Nigeria. This tradition has spread throughout the Diaspora and has countless manifestations and variations. In the past our ancestors taught Ifa-Orisa through oral instruction and observation. In recent times there has been an increase in the availability of instructional material in written form. In order for this course to be effective we still need communal support and guidance from elders. This course is meant to supplement, not replace oral instruction from elders.
This course has been developed to provide training to anyone who has been initiated into either Ifa or Orisa. In order to be effective I encourage students to study this material in conjunction with an elder who can check progress and provide guidance based on personal experience.
