Understanding the structure of Ifa divination: What really happens on the Mat


Listen Later

Ifa divination is not guesswork, superstition, or entertainment — it is a structured spiritual system.


Many people receive divination without fully understanding what is happening, why certain steps are taken, or what their responsibility is as the client. This episode breaks down the basic structure of ifa divination, explaining the purpose, order, and meaning behind the process — without exposing sacred details.


We walk through why divination exists, how wisdom is communicated through odu, the difference between ire (alignment) and aiyewo (cross-examination), and why sacrifice is required regardless of the outcome. Ifa is about accountability, clarity, and maintaining balance with destiny — not quick answers or shortcuts.


This conversation is especially important for anyone seeking their first ifa divination. Sitting on the mat is a serious spiritual step. It requires humility, preparation, faith, and the willingness to listen and act on guidance. Divination is not just about receiving information — it is about responsibility and follow-through.


Understanding the structure helps protect people from confusion, fear, and unrealistic expectations. Knowledge creates clarity. Clarity creates alignment.
