Chief Fama has a hit for any serious follower of IFA. She is one of the top luminaries within Orisha worship or as she would say Orisa worship. One of the great things about our religion is that there is room for discussion and even sometimes controversy or contridictions; these makes us reflective and we grow stronger. Her fine offering has the nuts and bolts many search for.
