Editing Ifá (section)

==Definitions==

There are regional differences in the system. In West Africa there are both Yoruba and Fon versions of the practice, the latter commonly called Fá.{{sfn|Landry|2019|p=25}} The Yoruba system of Ifá is deemed more time consuming, and requires more sacrifices, than the Fá system among the Fon.{{sfn|Landry|2019|p=26}} In the Fon-dominated [[Ouidah]], therefore, some people think of Yoruba Ifá as being more potent than their own local system.{{sfn|Landry|2019|pp=26, 155}} Some people who have been initiated into Fon-style Fá thus later go through additional ceremonies to be initiated into Yoruba-style Ifá.{{sfn|Landry|2019|p=154}}
