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.
