Proverbial Wisdom from the Kpólí Fá of African Vodun ©2021-2024

This work draws from the wisdom of the Kpolí Fá of the Fá divination system from the Vodún perspective. Most of these alò, or proverbs, are one to two-line statements of profound wisdom as expressed by the Ajă people of Southern Benin Republic. Contained within are 342 of some of the most complicated proverbs wrapped in Afrikan deep mystery found in Máwùfɛ (Afrika). Many who do not live this culture will not be able to unravel the profundity of the messages contained therein. Hence, for the first time, an Ajăgbè1 to English translation of proverbs from the Ajă people are being shared. All proverbs are first expressed in the N’ko Afrikan writing script, then in Ajăgbè using the Latin script, transliterated to an English translation, and finally followed by a breakdown of what the proverb means.
