The Future of Ifá & Òrìsà Spirituality:
By Olusegun Daramola
8th June/2023
Ifá & Òrìsà spirituality encompasses a variety of spiritual practices derived from ancient traditional beliefs of Ufe Oodaye populations. The practice has transcended through generations, aiding spiritual practitioners in connecting with the energy of Olódùmarè, the (Akamara) universe, the (Irúnmolè) divine forces, and the (Egúngún) conscious ancestors. Ifá & Òrìsà spirituality has evolved over the centuries, due to the growth of these communities and the way they wish to share and express their connection to the spiritual realm.
The future of Ifá & Òrìsà spirituality is promising. There is a need for more sustainable and compassionate spiritual pathways that honor the original teachings and traditions of Ufe people. In recent decades, Ifá & Òrìsà spiritual practices have become more widespread and inherently accepted, with organizations advocating for the protection of these spiritual pathways.
Modern technological advances have enabled practitioners to further share their knowledge with each other, teaching and inspiring others in the art of Ifá & Òrìsà spirituality. We are no longer limited to physical interaction, and with the power of the Internet, we can communicate and connect with people globally. In the past, these spiritual pathways were often guarded and accessible only to specific communities, but now there is unprecedented access to this ancient and sacred knowledge.
Furthermore, there has been a rise in organizations, programs, festivals, and initiatives that are working to protect and preserve the African cultures and spiritual practices of Ifá & Òrìsà spirituality. These efforts are especially important today, in an era where indigenous and spiritual pathways are often overlooked or disregarded.
The popularization of Ifá & Òrìsà spirituality is also evidenced by the increasing amount of literature and courses available about this mystical practice. As a result, spiritual practitioners have more opportunities to learn about the practice when they are unable to attend certain spiritual ceremonies and gatherings.
Ifá & Òrìsà spirituality will look different in the future, but the tradition of honoring and understanding these sacred spiritual pathways will remain intact. As new generations come to learn and practice these teachings, the culture and practices of Ifá & Òrìsà spirituality will continue to grow and spread.
