This website is dedicated to the idea that Ifa is a spiritual discipline rooted in the idea that the development of iwa pele or good character is the key to understanding destiny. There is a Yoruba proverb that says ayanmo ni iwa pele, iwa pele ni ayanmo. This proverb; roughly translated, means destiny is good character, good character is destiny. It is from the scriptural reference that says,”…when destiny is unclear it is good character I choose.” The metaphysical inference here is clear; if you are uncertain about your destiny simply do the right thing in the moment. We are born omo rere; meaning good and blessed people, suggesting that doing the right thing in the moment cannot be in opposition to our destiny.
