Learning Path
Our path was designed to offer a solid and respectful foundation. Each lesson ends with a short quiz to reinforce knowledge and earn Asé.
Our curriculum is organized in progressive modules, designed to carry you from the fundamentals of Yoruba philosophy to the study of the system of the 256 Odus. Each lesson includes explanatory text, quizzes to consolidate knowledge, and XP and Asé rewards. Modules 1 to 6 are free and cover the fundamentals, the Odus, the Orixás, the itans, the ẹbọ and the tradition in the diaspora. Modules 7 to 10, for subscribers, go deeper into the Lucumí tradition, the method for reading sources, the 240 combined Odus and the path of initiation. Here you build a solid foundation to begin studying the 256 paths with respect and clarity — the study of Ifá is a life’s work, and no course shortens it.
