emotional: @FOLYKAZE/MACOF. True the bini came to know about the personality of Orunmila through Ife but bini/Edo Doesn't have to have the same practices since they don't like to be referred as part of yorubaland. Isekiri also has the Orunmila personality and concept but wit little difference in practices. In yorubaland, Babalawo doesn't use blood for divination, only during initiation The only tools are : opon Ifa(Ifa tray), opele, ikin. the client doesn't take part in the process(he doesn't know Ifa divination) he doesnt need to talk about his problem, his duty is to find how Ifa's message relates to him or let the Babalawo do the full interpretation(if he has been told wat d problem is already) Ifa/Iha is an old system in bini, existing since Eweka. do u know how many Odu Ifa exist in the bini version? |

thanks bro,for your enlightening responds macof: Actually not during divination i will say initiation cos rites are involved and then prepared in plate with a cover(the 32 nuts) given to the client to offer sacrifices and oblations when necessary(the reason for my first question in my first post) note, the client knows nothing abt casting Ifa divination. No bro. |

emotional: thanks bro,for your enlightening responds U are welcome I don't know much about Ifa divination but maybe the problem of the client needed a fowl's blood and so the Babalawo went ahead wit d ritual immediately after divination. |
