This world we live in is full of many things to discover in all areas, both animals, historical secrets, and even religions.

What is Ifa?

Ifá is a type of rather complex religion in which the babalawos make invocations to predict the future or clarify certain aspects in the lives of those who need guidance and protection.

It does not have a specific origin, but it was systematized in West Africa and it is based on the teachings of Orunmila, the spirit of the Yoruba religion Irunmole, who in turn witnesses all the creation of destiny.

What are its signs?

In this religion different signs are used to know better or to be able to make the prediction to the person. In total there are 256, but I am going to show you 16 and each one is accompanied by a different meaning. They are known as Meji and are as follows:

Ogbe Meji or Ejiogbe: is the beginning of all that is in the heaven and earth.
Ose Meji: represents religious secrets.
Ofun Meji or Oragun: are the mysteries and understanding of things.
Oyekumeji: means the kingdom of the dead
