Ifá
Nuru memberIfá is a complete system of spiritual wisdom, divination, and healing practised by Babalawos and Iyanifas. It offers guidance, healing, and connection to one's ori (personal destiny) and the Orishas (divine energies). Ifá has been carried through the African diaspora into Cuba (Lucumí/Santería), Brazil (Candomblé), and beyond.
