Field Notes
How did we end up here? A practitioner's inquiry in progress. DÁFÁ is a living journal of Ifá practice and scholarship, rooted in Ibadan and the Ọ̀yọ́-Yoruba lineage. This is how we got here.
Commentary
Ifá demanded more of its specialists than any oral tradition in human history. No written backstop. No fixed sequence. Only memory, precision, and the full corpus — carried intact for thousands of years.
