"Áfà fátálụ́ ífē dị́ ná nzúzò má náyá ánọ̀rọ̀ ògè/ēbē ēzōlū." "Divination identified, isolated, and neatly pulled out what was carefully camouflaged and hidden." - Igbo Proverb
A prototype of the Afa Ugiri card deck I'm working on. You'll be surprised at the wonders of divination that can emerge from such a simple deck in the hands of a gifted Dibia Afa. One of the blessings of the times we live in is that Agwu also transmits information through Ikuku (air). This means that a naturally gifted Dibia, once they understand the framework, can equally receive revelations directly from Aka Ijite and Aka Ose. I'll be sharing more about the development of the main deck + usage framework on Patreon over time, where since the past two weeks we've started transferring @OMSVARSITY teachings to. There's still a lot more to explore and share!

Progress Update: On Goal to Build 8+ Tools & Applications So far, 5 out of 8 are live, with the remaining three planned for release in the near future. Here's what we've built and what we're still working on: 1/8: Izu Igbo Calendar — LIVE izuigbocalendar.com/ A digital calendar designed to help anyone, anywhere in the world, keep track of the traditional Igbo market week alongside the Gregorian calendar. 2/8: Ilu Finder — LIVE ilufinder.com/ An Igbo proverb and language database designed to make it easier for people to learn and improve their fluency in Igbo through well-documented proverbs. We're also building it to serve as a language resource for future technologies that need to incorporate Igbo. 3/8: KWUO — LIVE igbolanguagebuddy.com/ An interactive Igbo language learning platform featuring games, with plans to expand into verified Igbo language tutors, text-based learning, and voice chat experiences. 4/8: Afa Ugiri Simulator — LIVE afasimulator.com/ A modern learning and practice tool for anyone interested in studying and mastering the divinatory language of Afa Akpukpala/Ugiri. 5/8: Igbo Content Creators Directory — LIVE igbocontentcreatorsdirectory… A directory that makes it easier to discover Igbo content creators, learn from their work, connect with them, and explore opportunities for collaboration. 6/8: Igbo Astrologer — COMING SOON A tool designed to help people explore their astrological charts through the lens of Igbo indigenous knowledge and cosmology. 7/8: Undisclosed — TO BE REVEALED We'll share more about this one soon! 8/8: Undisclosed — TO BE REVEALED Another project we're looking forward to introducing when the time comes. Each tool is still a work in progress, and there's plenty of room for improvement. We'll continue refining their features, expanding what they can do, fixing issues as they arise, and learning from how people use them. My hope is that, year after year, these tools will simply become more useful, more accessible, and better at serving users. Expect more updates!
