Ifa Yoruba corpus refers to the philosophical and liturgical knowledge, and Oracle is its system of divination. Ifa is also referred to one of the names uplifting of the Orisha of wisdom Orunmila. Ifa is much more than a religion, are a number of unifying elements that maintain the structure of Yoruba traditional society. Contains an ancestral history passed down from generation to generation orally, which includes his poetic and musical tradition, which is largely based around the planet.

The Oracle of Diloggún is one way of communicating with the deities of the Yoruba pantheon, with the Orishas and our ancestors, ancestry or Eggun, who provide assistance to our problems to deal with them positively, ie not only used for know what happens, but, to tell us that we must do to fix it, for advice, to avoid any setback in life, to heal. For this you can use a hand with snails. For the snail all the Orishas speak Yoruba. This oracle is part of the exciting, ancient and profound philosophy, liturgy and practice magic - which takes place in esoteric religion of the Orishas.

The Oracle of Biago or Aditoto is more limited, your system uses four pieces of coconut that can be used to ask the Orishas or ancestors questions with positive or negative responses.
