Resumo: This dissertation consists of a literature search. It aims first to understand what the concept of wealth in Ifa among yoruba in West Africa, second, how this divination occurs in Brazil and finally, what the Ifa concept of wealth in Brazil and its possible influence on african- brazilian religions. The Ifá is a divination system utilized by iorubas societes, in Nigéria and Benin, in West África. He conveys the oral knowledge of Yoruba mythology by a organized in 256 odus called signs, which means "way . Myths are recited by babalawós (diviners) during the oracular consultation as the odus leaving the game. The Yoruba believe that through consultation, the Babalawó is able to foresee the future and more than that, to provide "good ways". That's because, he intervenes in the relationship between the supernatural world (orún) and the human world (aiye). Many Yoruba came to Brazil during the period of slavery. Here, their religious practices, among them the Ifa divination, mingled with other african religious traditions, as well as with indigenous religious traditions and european origin (Catholicism and spiritualism). Thus, the Yoruba tradition, along with these other traditions, influences the african-Brazilian religions. The Ifa is little used in Brazil. The búzios game is more utilized. However, the myths of Ifa are present in african - brazilian religions, even basing some rituals. Unlike Africa, here they appear associated with deities and not to odus. Wealth for the yoruba, expressed in Ifa, is understood as material wealth. The yoruba believe that to have wealth you must be in harmony with the supernatural world and have good relationships with other people. In Brazil, due to the social context is quite different, they find themselves some changes on the design of wealth. In the little that is known about the practice of Ifa in Brazil, despite differences in the methods of the game, this concept remains. In african -brazilian religions, especially candomblé and umbanda, remains the sense of spirituality associated with wealth, however, the same does not happen with the sense of socialization. In these religions, rich does not mean increasing the network of social relations and networks of social relations do not necessarily provide wealth. We note the importance of families holy in both as a means of identification, belonging and social legitimacy, which may indirectly contribute to improved financial conditions of its adherent. Regarding the sense of spirituality in african - brazilian religions, just as happened among the yoruba, financial difficulties, as well as health problems, emotional and spiritual are understood as imbalances being treated in the rites though interventions magical-religious
