	Babalawo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Babalawo or Iyanifa (also Babaaláwo in full, and pronounced Baba-a-láwo) is a Yorùbá title that denotes a Priest of Orunmila, the Yoruba god or Orisha of Wisdom operating through Ifa, the divination system.
		In Orisa worship (and its various expressions, Santeria, Lukumí, Anago, Indigene etc.) a Babalawo or "father, master of the mysteries" or Awo and is recognized as clergy, and acts as a community priest.
		Awo is often used as a gender-neutral reference to individual Iyanifa or Babalawo as well as to the group.

		It is a book of Iyanifa Alcamo true experience within the Lukumí and Yoruba practice and the anomalies she had experienced.
		Iyanifa Alcamo really reveals just a few of the abnormalities, and I can say that there is quite a bit more than what she exposes in this book.
		Iyanifa Alcamo give us a good and living examples on everyday life situations and gives guidance to Babalorisha, Iyalorisha, Babalawos etc. whether in Lukumí or Yoruba or any religion to teach and cultivate moral values.

	Orunmila - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although Orunmila is not actually Ifa, the close association exists, because he is the one who leads the priesthood of Ifa.
		Priests of Ifa are called babalawo (father of secrets) or Iyanifa (female Ifa priest).
		Among West Africans, Orunmila is recognized as a deified Ancestor that was present both at the beginning of Creation and then again amongst them as a prophet that taught an advanced form of spiritual knowledge and ethics.

		The book could have used a more in-depth discussion about how certain forms of discipline could be either nurturing (positive/ encouraging growth) or abusive (negative/ hampering growth) depending upon context, vs. those forms of discipline that are just plain abusive.
		In spite of this shortcoming, I applaud Iyanifa Alcamo for bringing the difficult issue of egocentric and abusive mentors to the forefront and contrasting this with the positive side of the religion.
		Iyanifa Ileana affords us a way to perceive the distortion of sacred custom and ritual and how it affects us and those around us.

		It hurts me to see him hurt; he's probably my best friend in the city, and to see him of all people soulsick...whatever it is, maybe I can dredge it out of him, get him to open up more than he already does.

		There is nor was any reason why women cannot see odu in the sense of Ifa signs/texts.
		In many areas of Africa women can even become Ifa priest: Iyanifa or Iyalawo.
		The opposition in Lukumi against female Ifa priests is not based on a religious taboo or on orthodox religious history, but on ignorance resulting from the "reformation" that took place in Cuba and the United States.
