Ifa divination figures are symbolic representations used in the practice of Ifa, a traditional African divination system originating from the Yoruba people of Nigeria. These figures, often made from materials like wood or clay, embody various deities and spiritual concepts, serving as tools for diviners to communicate with the spiritual realm. During a divination session, a Babalawo (Ifa priest) interprets the patterns formed by the figures, which are cast using a set of sacred objects. Each figure corresponds to specific messages and guidance, helping individuals gain insight into their lives and make informed decisions based on the wisdom of the Orishas.
