The Consejo Cultural Yorùbá de Canada has the vision that Mainstream society in Canada and the world recognize the Ifá-Òrìṣà belief-system (that encapsulates the various branches and lineages including Ifá-Òrìṣà , Santeria, Lucumi, Candomble, Vodoun-Fa and Èsìn Òrìṣà Ìbílè ) as 6th largest religious and spiritual belief-system in the world, and as such, that its followers should enjoy the same recognition and protection under the law as those in other great world faiths!
ÀBORÚ, ABOYE, ÀBOSÍSE:
The Consejo Cultural Yorùbá de Canada’s mission, since its inception in 2011, has been to promote awareness regarding the Ifá- Òrìṣà belief-system through a spiritual anthropological approach to research, education, publishing and community support and services.
We have worked with partners like Harriet Tubman Institute at York University, ThatChannel and now starting in 2025 with McGill University, School of Religious Studies to provide an open learning environment through which to receive information on Ifá- Òrìṣà’s history and practice. Ifá-Òrìṣà is one of the oldest traditions in the world pre-dating Christianity, Judaism, and Islam and is recognized as the 6th largest religion/religious belief in the world and one of the fastest growing. This indigenous belief system remains ever relevant in the modern world making it more than just a religious tradition, but a way of life.
The Ifá divination system was inscribed by UNESCO in 2008 as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, originally proclaimed in 2005 (https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/ifa-divination-system-00146).
