Ifá - Yoruba
Ifá is a Yoruba religion and system of divination. Its literary corpus is the Odu Ifá. Orunmila is identified as the Grand Priest, as he is who revealed divinity and prophecy to the world. Babalawos or Iyanifas use either the divining chain known as Opele, or the sacred palm or kola nuts called Ikin, on the wooden divination tray called Opon Ifá.
In Ifa it is said: Exu opens, Ogum clears, Oxossi finds
It’s the salutation for Exu like “oke aro” for Oxossi, “kao kabecile” for Xangô “odoya” for Yemanja etc
