Afa is an ancient system of divination that is widely used in many indigenous African traditional spiritual systems throughout West Africa, and in the global Diaspora. Afa is a complete system of prophetic knowledge, advice and divine wisdom, designed to reveal ones destiny and to guide when making important decisions concerning ones daily life. For centuries, the Ewe priesthood of Togo have employed Afa in the Vodoun religion, based on the premise that "To know ones destiny is to understand ones proper purpose and not walk blindly here on Earth". This text offers a very brief introduction to the Anago path of Afa, utilized by the Ewe priesthoods in Togo and in the Diaspora. Its primary focus is centered on the family lineage of the great Bokonos and founding ancestors of the Negue family temple of Awono, Mama Zodédé, and her family descendant, Awono, Mama Zogbé's temple (Mami Wata Healers Society) in Martinez, Georgia, USA. Lastly, this book is designed to aid in contributing to the growing corpus of knowledge on African divination systems re-emerging in the West; by presenting a more accurate and holistic perspective of this ancient Ancestral system's role in the Vodoun religion.
