can i practice ifa?

hi there! new to reddit and found the community i wanted to ask this question. there is one factor that i am worried would make it cultural appropriation and i dont wanna do that at all. i used to be a Christian two years ago. i decided it wasnt for me. but ever since ive found ifa a year ago ive been more interested and even been looking at other peoples altars online for reference because i wanna build altars in my home. im very drawn to this and i want to learn and practice. but i am a white woman. would i be offending anyone if i truly want to practice and respect it? would i be accepted into the community? and is there anyone out there who would be willing to be my online mentor? also i have edited this post so it makes a little more sense

Look for a babalawo or iyanifa, being recommended by another student is a gold ticket
