Community outreach, and the sharing of knowledge

Greetings to one and all. This website, composed by Oluwo Ifalasa Omolodun and his Egbe, is formulated with the sincere intention of community outreach and information sharing.

The heartfelt dissemination of Ifa-related subject matter and Yoruba traditions is the primary goal of this website. For the most part, it will not delve into specifics regarding Orisa worship, as information concerning specific deities and their mode of veneration abounds on the Internet.

This site concentrates instead on broader theological matters which are rarely discussed. Any and all questions are welcome and can be sent through the contact page.
