The 16-principle system has its earliest history in West Africa. Ifá is practiced throughout the Americas, West Africa, and the Canary Islands, in the form of a complex religious system, and plays a critical role in the traditions of Santería, Candomblé, Palo, Umbanda, Vodou, and other Afro-American faiths, as well as in some traditional African religions. 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. Orunmila is identified as the Grand Priest, as he revealed divinity and prophecy to the world. Ifá is a Yoruba religion and system of divination.

The Odù Ifá are like blueprints to all the energies possible in the universe. It is through these Odù Ifá that priests and priestesses of Oriṣa can help people to repair their Orí’s and better themselves. It is through the knowledge of these energies, called Odù Ifá, that Babalawo and Iyanifa are able to work with individuals to achieve the greatest potential of their destiny. The Odù themselves are the oracles of the Yorùbá divination systems of Ifá, Obi, and Merindinlogun. They hold the key to all the blessings and all the misfortunes of life and death. These are the universal energies that give birth to all given circumstances and situations, all the blessings and misfortunes of the universe are contained within them. The Odù Ifá are patterns of binary code, opened and closed nodules, which represent all of the energies contained in Igba Iwa, The Calabash of Existence, or the Universe. The next 240 Odù Ifá are combinations of the first 16.
