Rediscovering African Occult Sciences: From Ifa Divination to Lost Wisdom

I came across a self-claimed wizard on TikTok and decided to document his experiences. After some hesitation, he agreed to share his insights, and other readers are eager to see the full account. I’ve explored Western, Asian, Jewish and Arab occult traditions, but I found very little on African spirituality. It’s puzzling that systems like Ifa use randomization and categorization—concepts at the heart of modern math, forecasting and library science—yet they remain overlooked. Our ancestors created impressive Nok art, Benin bronzes and other works that reveal sharp intellects. The absence of written records in many African cultures doesn’t erase this knowledge. Language shaped how civilizations recorded information, and oral traditions left gaps when histories were lost. Today we undervalue our cultural landmarks and remove history from school curricula. If we don’t reclaim our spiritual heritage, we risk losing our identity and embracing a narrative written by others.
