Iyalawo
Iyaaláwo or Iyalawo (Iyalao or Iyalaô in Latin America; literally meaning 'mother of divination' in the Yoruba language), also known as Iyanifa and Iyaonifa (meaning 'mother of Ifá') is a spiritual title that denotes a Priestess of Ifá. Its male counterpart is called Babalawo (meaning 'father of the divination'). Ifá is a divination system that represents the teachings of the Orisha Orunmila, the Orisha of Wisdom, who in turn serves as the oracular representative of Olodumare. The Iyalawo ascertain the future of their clients through communication with Ifá. This is done through the interpretation of either the patterns of the divining chain known as ''Opele'', or the sacred palm nuts called ''Ikin'', on the traditionally wooden divination tray called ''Opon Ifá''.
==History of Iyanifa ==
The first woman initiated in the Ifá was Orunmila's daughter as described in the Ifa verse ''Eji Ogbe''.〔Women in the Yoruba Religious Sphere, page 116〕 A verse in Iwori Meji mentions that her name was Alara and that she underwent an apprenticeship from Orunmila. When he had a son, she was responsible for a large part of her younger brother's training. The Ifa Odu Odi Ogbe speaks of a woman divining and performing ritual sacrifice for Orunmila by the name Eruko-ya-l'egan o d'Oosa also known as Orisa Oke. Another t documented African Iyalawo was Agbaye Arabinrin Oluwa, who lived c. 200 AD in Nigeria.〔Iyanfia: Women of Wisdom, page 362〕 The first documented American Iyalawo was Dr. D'Haifa Odufora Ifatogun, who was initiated in 1985.〔Iyanifa: Women of Wisdom, Chapter Historical Notes, pg 352〕〔http://eleda.org/blog/2002/10/27/the-guardian-conscience-nurtured-by-truth/〕 The first Lucumi Iyaonifas initiatied were María Cuesta Conde and Nidia Aguila de León in 2000.〔CITIZENSHIP, RELIGION AND REVOLUTION IN CUBA by Carolyn E.
