Babalawo
|
Babalawo (Babaaláwo in full and pronounced Baba-a-láwo, literally meaning 'father or master of the mysticism' in the Yoruba language) is a Yorùbá chieftaincy title that denotes a Priest of Ifá. Ifa is a divination system that represents the teachings of the Orisha Orunmila, the Spirit of Wisdom, who in turn serves as the oracular representative of God. The Babalawo claim to ascertain the future through communication with Orunmila. This is done through the interpretation of either the patterns of the divining chain known as Opele or the palm nuts called Ikin on the traditionally wooden divination tray. Contents

The calling to initiation to Ifa comes many times from divination where it may be revealed as important for the individual. Many folks also initiate to Ifa as a common rite of passage for young adults, especially men.
