Yoruba religion, also known as Ifa or Orisa tradition, is one of the oldest religions practiced in West Africa. Its roots can be traced back centuries before colonialism. It is a complex system of beliefs and practices involving a pantheon of deities (Orishas) and rituals for connecting with the spiritual world.
