The wisdom of Ifá survived the ocean in the memory of the elders. Today it survives scattered across photocopies, blurry PDFs and notebooks that get lent out and never come back. What is being lost is not paper: it is the word. This treatise exists so that no more of it is lost.

05 · The questions

What everyone asks.

What is an Odù of Ifá?
An Odù is each one of the 256 signs (also called letters) of the Ifá oracle. Each Odù is written with two columns of single and double marks —a millennia-old binary language— and holds prayers, patakis, ebbós, ires, osogbos and taboos that the babalawo interprets in the consultation. Read more about what Ifá is →
How many signs or letters does Ifá have?
Ifá has 256 Odù: 16 Meyi (also spelled Meji — the major signs) and 240 combined. Each Meyi heads a family of 16 signs. Here you will find all 256, in the Lukumí tradition. See the index of the 256 →
What will I find in each Odù?
Its prayer in Yoruba with its súyere, the «Ifá says» reading, its proverbs explained, what is born in the sign, ires and osogbos, advice and warnings, taboos (eewò) with their why, ebbós and works by purpose, and all of its patakis with a summary and the full text.
Can I consult the Odù for free?
Yes. With the free account (Aleyo plan) you explore the 256 Odù, see the 16 Meyi in preview, and the prayer and essence of every sign. Paid plans open the complete treatise with no locks. Create free account →
What if I subscribe and it is not for me?
You cancel in one click from your account, with no phone calls or paperwork, and you are not charged the following month. On the Awó plan you also have a 7-day guarantee: 100% of your money back.
What is the difference between the Babalawo plan and the Awó plan?
Today both give the same complete access to the 256 Odù. The first difference is how you pay: Babalawo is a monthly subscription; Awó is a one-time lifetime payment — you pay once and it is yours forever, with no monthly fees or renewals. The second is the future: the Awó plan will keep receiving exclusive content and sections that the Babalawo plan will not have, plus every update included without paying again. Limited to 800 spots. Compare plans →
Does it work for the consultation with the ékuele or the board?
Yes. Everything is organized for the moment of the consultation: you find the sign in seconds and have at hand the prayer, the ebbós by purpose and the patakis that support each iré and osogbo.
06 · The word is cared for

The treatise is cared for by all of us.

Did you find something to correct, or want to suggest a change to an Odù's information? Write to us. We ask only one thing: that your correction comes backed by a source — the treatise, book or branch it comes from.

Your email app will open with the message ready for [email protected]. Suggestions without a source are not reviewed.

The word is waiting for you.
