Fa is fundamentaly a decision making tool. For example, if someone has some doubts about his/her boyfriend/girlfriend or needs to know whether he/she must go or not on a particular business, he must look for Fa. Fa will provide him with advices to help him take the right decisions.
Inner peace lesson
You can also use Fa to reach your inner peace; in fact Fa, in addition to being a divination art, is a set of peaceful principles and wordviews enabling people to be physically, mentally and spiritualy equilibrated. The Fa kponlis have philosophical insights from which people can learn moral lessons. Fa ties spirituality to morality.
Abrother of mine,Amévi Ekon, asked me this question: "A Bokon told me that the Fa Dzu(Odu) for the new year was Guda Medzi; What is the meaning of that Dzu(Odu)?"
My answer to him:
Guda Medzi warns people against combats, fightings and hostilities. If, during a divination session, Guda Medezi appears for someone, he/she would be advised to pay attention to his/her behaviour and to be careful when dealing with perfid or machiavellian friends. The Bokon would advice him/her carefulness mostly when it comes to him/her to trust someone. In the case the concerned has financial problems or is facing adversity from ennemies, Guda Medzi asks him/her to make sacrifice to Vodu Egu for success and prosperity.
We are dealing with a DuFA (public Fa) here. Thus, the whole society must do a general ceremony to Vodu Egu in order to escape accidents, fightings, assassinations, ambushes, reign of whichcraft...
