[edit] Deleting changes made to Ifa page

We have made what we believe are important contributions to the Ifa page, yet they are automatically deleted (reverted) without cause.

The Ewe of Togo, West Africa and Southern Ghana and Benin also practice the same system known as Afa or AFÁ-DU, in which the vodou dieites and ancestors speak. Divination is performed by specialized priests or priestesses of Afa known as Bokonos or Afavis. Afa is inextricably tied to the West African & Diaspora Vodoun religion. This historical fact is crucial in understanding that this system of divination (of whom the Ewe possess their own mythology of its origins), is utilized by many West African groups in which their own gods speak, and are not exclusive to only the Orisha. The references below support this historical fact, and should not be excluded. In the spirit of historical accuracy Anagossii --MWHS 13:30, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hexadecimal

Should hexadecimal be mentioned?

[edit] Names

The names of the different numbers of shells should be checked. This website is saying something different than what we have: http://www.geocities.com/revhyperion/growth_diloggun.html Whatcanuexpect 19:34, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

The names were originally taken directly from the Bascom book. In a subject like this, variations are perhaps to be expected. Smerdis of Tlön 22:34, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
