No matter how extensive one's study of Afa may be, effective interpretation ultimately depends upon Agwu, the spirit of divination, intuition, discernment, and divine intelligence. While knowledge provides the foundation, Agwu supplies the contextual insight, supernatural recall, intuitive guidance, and practical resolutions which are absolutely necessary to understand how an Afa principle applies in a specific situation. Afa is not a system of fixed meanings but a living body of wisdom whose deeper truths are revealed through the cooperation of disciplined learning and spiritual illumination. Thus, the diviner must study diligently and cultivate knowledge, but it is Agwu that transforms information into wisdom and allows the living system of Afa to speak through the corpus.
