In Yorùbá thought, death is not an end but a return — the soul’s journey from Ayé (earthly world) to Ọ̀run (spirit realm). Through Ìsìn Ìkú, Ẹ̀tùtù, and Ìtútù, the living cool the path of the departed, restoring balance between realms. A virtuous soul enters Ọ̀run Rere, while others find renewal in Ọ̀run Apádì or Ọ̀run Bùrúkú. Death, in truth, cools the world — transforming grief into peace.

In Yorùbá tradition, divination is a sacred dialogue with the divine. Through Ifá and other practices, seekers gain wisdom, unveil hidden truths, and receive prescriptions like ẹbọ (sacrifice) or àdímú (offerings) to realign with their destiny. By guiding the Orí inú (inner head), divination nurtures clarity, healing, and balance for both individuals and communities.
