Ìbí: Understanding the Yorùbá Concept of Misfortune and Imbalance
Yorùbá tradition restores balance through divination, ritual, and moral renewal. Ifá divination, guided by Orúnmìlà, is performed by Babaláwo and Ìyánífá to reveal hidden causes of misfortune. Òrìṣà priests use Èrìndílógún or Òbí to seek guidance from the deities they serve. Through èbó, àdúrà, and purification, devotees realign with destiny and restore the flow of àṣẹ between Ayé and Ọ̀run.

To live in harmony with one’s Orí is the essence of spiritual success. Ifá divination, performed by Babaláwo and Ìyánífá, reveals guidance from Orúnmìlà, the Òrìṣà of wisdom and destiny. Other Òrìṣà priests and priestesses also divine through èrìndílógún (cowrie shells) or òbí (kola nuts). Through these sacred consultations, offerings, and àdúrà (prayers), devotees restore balance between Ayé and Ọ̀run.

Finding Focus and Direction with Yorùbá Wisdom
In Yorùbá spirituality, finding focus and direction comes from cultivating ìfọkànsìn (concentration) and setting clear goals aligned with our àyànmọ̀ (destiny). Through meditation, prayer, divination by Babaláwos, Ìyánífás, Òrìṣà priests, and community guidance, we connect deeply to our Orí (inner consciousness). This alignment empowers Àṣẹ, the divine energy that guides and sustains our life’s path.
