The Mechanics of Ifa Divination System by Ojo Oludare Oyebisi Pdf
The majority of native Yoruba speakers view the Ifa divination system as a form of dark magic, inconsequential shamanism or ritualistic fetish. Even some scholars of Ifa and its divination system have conveyed the impression that it is simply a primitive oracular instrument of narrative art that should be appreciated only for its poetic sublimity. The Ifa divination system has been greatly misconceived as a mere esoteric system, devoid of any form of technological information. This book, therefore, seeks to describe what the Ifa divination system truly is and to illustrate its pertinence beyond traditional divination and cultural-level information to modern technology. The author examines the process and structure of the Ifa divination system and highlights some of the elements of technological knowledge that are embedded in the Ifa divination system. In all, this book is both a lively introduction to some of the technological-level information in Ifa divination system and a concise reference for those who are interested in enhancing technological development within the context of the cultural knowledge of Ifa and its divination system.

Arts of Being Yoruba by Adélékè Adéèkó Pdf
There is a culturally significant way of being Yorùbá that is expressed through dress, greetings, and celebrations—no matter where in the world they take place. Adélékè Adék documents Yorùbá patterns of behavior and articulates a philosophy of how to be Yorùbá in this innovative study. As he focuses on historical writings, Ifá divination practices, the use of proverbs in contemporary speech, photography, gendered ideas of dressing well, and the formalities of ceremony and speech at celebratory occasions, Adéékó contends that being Yorùbá is indeed an art and Yorùbá-ness is a dynamic phenomenon that responds to cultural shifts as Yorùbá people inhabit an increasingly globalized world.
