The Orunmila Study, the Yewa post, three guides and the glossary
Friday: the Study of Orunmila, the owner of Ifá — the first poem collected by Abímbọ́lá tells how he left the Earth and put the sixteen palm nuts in his place; the Tratado shows his Cuban face. Saturday: the post on Yewa, the Orisha of mystery, with the myths gathered by Prandi. Three guides came out as well: Opele, Ikin and cowries; Ifá and Candomblé, differences and points of contact; and the 16 Odu Meji, the map of Ifá.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ifá
- What is Ifá?
- Ifá is a system of divination and ancestral philosophy of the Yoruba people, originating from Nigeria and Benin. It is a millenary tradition that uses binary patterns formed by palm nuts or chains (Opele) to generate signs called Odus, each with deep meanings about life, destiny, and spirituality.
- How does the virtual consultation work?
- The virtual consultation simulates the traditional Opele casting using algorithms that generate random patterns based on the moment of consultation. The interpretation is generated by an AI model from the drawn Odu and the context you write, grounded in the sources cited on the site. The AI was not trained on liturgical text, holds no Ase and performs no divination.
- Can I trust the AI consultation?
- AI is a tool to help study and understand Ifá, it does not replace a traditional babalawo or iyalorisa. It is an educational and complementary resource for those who wish to learn about Yoruba philosophy. For serious spiritual guidance, we recommend seeking a qualified priest.
