Richard Wingo III HIST 350.003 Dr. Brewer Date Ifa and the importance of African Religion About a year ago back at home a new wave of African spirituality swept my home town of Atlanta. A lot of rappers including “21 Savage”, whom is a very influential person in the city, began practicing an African religion which went by called “Ifa”. When I originally heard about the religion to be completely honest it scared me just a little bit. Only because many people who I considered close to me began to follow the new craze. Over the course of one year I’d seen I saw family members, close friends, and plenty of other people, change from being Christians to die hard Ifa followers. I could understand wanting to learn about African belief systems, which is fine, but there were people in Atlanta claiming this religion just to be "trendy". When it became too much I knew that I had to know more about it. In many societies, religious beliefs are the foundation that serves as the guide for how man men should live their lives, and at the focus heart of most religious beliefs is the belief that God is the Creator of mankind and the earth. Christianity believes that God is the heavenly father and that Jesus Christ is his son and savior. Like many of the other Africa religions, “Ifa” incorporates a wide amount range of different traditional beliefs. This religious group religion shares many of the same aspects of Christianity. However, there are also some customs and principles that are in unambiguous contrast to Christian beliefs. Although African religious beliefs are sometimes shared by different local societies, they are usually exclusive to specific populations or geographical regions. Wingo 2 During one of the most darkest, and miserabilist most miserable, times in our country’s history, we find that the Africans who suffered horrifying conditions during slavery, found ways of harmony and confidence in their religious beliefs. African's where able to survive excruciating conditions by concentrating on their spirituality. Being that Since most of the slave community was born in America, converting slaves to Christianity was not a struggle, but over time slaves made Christianity their own. Ifá is a religion and system of prophecy, and refers to the verses of the legendary body known as the Odu Ifá. known as the religion of the Yoruba peoples, Yoruba refers to a group of cultures chained together by a common language. According to oral stories, the practice of Ifa began as far back as eight thousand years ago. So, the Ifa Religion may just very well be the oldest monotheistic religion in the world. They were in an area restricted by the Niger River, and as well as what is now known as the present day Benin Republic, southwestern Nigeria, and part of Togo. Orunmila is known as the Grand Priest, for he is the one believed to have exposed spirituality and prophecy to the world. Babalawo's, or Iyanifas, use either the prophecy chain (known as Opele), or the sacred palm, or kola nuts called Ikin, on the wooden foretelling tray, called Opon “Ifá”. Ifá has recently seen a major spike in practice throughout the Americas, West Africa, and the Canary Islands, in the system of a composite religious system, as it plays a critical role in the traditions of Santería, Candomblé, Palo, Umbanda, Vodou, and other Afro-American faiths, as well as in some traditional African religions. The Ifa religion is balanced on three legs: Orunmila, Orisa, and the Ancestors. The Supreme Being, Olodumare, is said to be without gender, and is not a lively applicant in the affairs of the living. Olodumare is generous and has provided a World with all that is required for humans to be satisfied and pleased. Ifa is Wingo 3 categorized by a deep logic of the interdependence of all life, and every life form, and element of Nature including, rocks, metals, flowers, rivers, thunder, clouds and the wind. These natural energies that embrace the Universe are called Orisa. Each Orisa has its own specific function. Humans are in continuous communication with the energy. Through Ifa, their followers recognize that their Ancestors spirits are always with them and since they must be honored at all times, recognized and referred. All persons people are born moral, and with a purpose meant to progress their character or “Iwa-pele”. It is said that the prophecy was given to us, so that we could every so often stay in check to make sure we are staying in balance and following the trail of our purpose. The mysteries and teachings of Ifa revealed in prophecy are contained in a body of scriptures called Odu. Wingo 4 Grade: 3.5 /10 1. Add title page. Use sample on Blackboard. -1 pt. 2.
