艾法预言体系是利用广泛的文集和文献,由约鲁巴人来进行的。约鲁巴人居住在西非,人口大约有15,000,000万到20,000,000。艾法这个词源于一个叫艾法或叫欧伦米拉的传奇形象,他被约鲁巴人视为智慧之神和智慧发展的来源。12世纪,尼日利亚西南部奥孙斯瑞特地区的艾额艾额城成为这个社会的文化和政治中心。在美洲和加勒比地区,这项传统也由那些来自非洲的散居国外的人传习。与这个地区使用巫师能力的其他预言方式相比,艾法预言不依赖有巫术的人,而是依赖一个由占卜的人来解释的符号系统。这个占卜的人叫艾法或巴巴拉卧,字面意为牧师之父。艾法预言系统被应用在任何要做出个人或集体的重大决定的时候。艾法的文集叫做欧度,共256卷,每卷细分成许多诗节,叫做艾西。艾西的数目由于不断地增长而无法知晓。(每个欧度中大约有800艾西。)在每一个欧度中都有一个特殊的信号,它是举行仪式的巴巴拉卧通过使用棕榈果和预言链子决定的。作为艾法预言中最重要的部分的艾西是由巫师用诗歌的语言唱诵的。艾西反映了约鲁巴的历史、语言、信仰和当代社会的问题。艾法的知识已经被这些巫师和约鲁巴的社会保留了下来。

The Alpha prophecy system is carried out by the Yoruba people using a wide range of essays and literature. The Yoruba people live in West Africa and have a population of about 1.5 million to 20,000,000. The word Aifa comes from a legendary image called Aifa or Oren Mila. He is regarded by the Yoruba as a source of wisdom and a source of wisdom. In the 12th century, Ayre Ayre, in the Osunstreet region of southwestern Nigeria, became the cultural and political center of the society. In the Americas and the Caribbean, this tradition is also taught by diasporas from Africa. Compared with other prophetic ways of using wizard power in this region, Aifa predicts that it does not rely on witchcraft, but on a symbolic system explained by diviners. This divination is called Afa or Barbara, literally the father of the pastor. The Alpha prediction system is applied when any major decision is made, individually or collectively. Aifa's anthology is called Ou Du, a total of 256 volumes, each volume is subdivided into many verses, called Ai Xi. The number of Aisi is not known because of the continuous growth. (There are about 800 Axis in each European.) There is a special signal in every European degree, which is determined by the use of palm fruit and prophecy chains. As the most important part of the prophecy of Afghan, Aisi was sung by the wizard in the language of poetry. Aisi reflects the history, language, beliefs and problems of contemporary society in Yoruba. The knowledge of Aifa has been preserved by these wizards and the society of Yoruba.
