The Nederlands Ifa-Orisha Genootschap believes that:
* the cradle of all humankind is Africa;
* the ancient ancestors of all human beings now alive were Black Africans;
* the Ifa-Orisha religion might come pretty close to what may have been the 'original' religion of mankind;
* in pre-Christian times much "Africanness" was preserved in European traditions;
* some of these ancient memories of Africa still survive in Europe;
* the universe was created as, and hence shows the characteristics of, a synpolid;
* the signs of Odu Ifa, having both right and left legs, are partial mirrors of this synpolid;
* in these mirrors, through a process called divination, we may each view our personal destiny;
* this destiny is not a single path but a map, from which the best path may be chosen;
* the religion of Ifa-Orisha offers effective means to choose the optimum path;
* containing ancestral wisdom as well as folly, Ifa-Orisha should not be considered static;
* my belief is not better than yours, nor yours better than mine; we may both be wrong;
* all priests, including myself, must be presumed guilty until proven innocent;
* ninety percent of everything, including this website, is bullshit;
* it's the remaining ten percent that counts.
