Prayers and súyeres
The main prayer of each Odù in Yoruba, with its súyere, ready for the moment at the board.
The 256 complete Odù — prayers in Yoruba, patakis in full, ebbós organized by purpose and taboos explained. No longer scattered across photocopies: it is here, organized for the moment of the consultation.
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.
Every Odù, organized the same way: you find what you are looking for in seconds, not in hours of page-flipping.
The main prayer of each Odù in Yoruba, with its súyere, ready for the moment at the board.
A clear summary and the complete text of every path, linked to the ires and osogbos they support.
Every eewò with its why: which path it is born from and what it protects. No blind memorizing.
Money, love, health, keeping death away, defeating enemies: the right work, when it is needed.
Choose a family: its Meyi opens the path, followed by its 15 combinations. Or search for an Odù by name.
The full treatise is now in English: every patakí, ebbó and work.

They were born in the Odù Ika Fun: sixteen elders walked to Ilé-Ifẹ̀ to ask for long life, and Orunmila warned them that only the one who kept these words would be given it.

The app is built with the same care as this temple: the wisdom of the 256 signs, with you wherever you go. The Android app is now free to download on Google Play, and the iPhone app arrives next month.
We will write to you only once, when the iPhone app is ready. Your site subscription will also work in the app.
This site can be added to your home screen and it opens like an app: full screen, with no browser bar. Its icon sits with the rest, it takes up almost nothing, and the whole treatise is inside. On iPhone this is the way to have it today, while the app is on its way; and your account and your subscription are the same on the site and in the app.
On iPhone you have to do it from Safari: in any other browser the option is not there. And the first time you open the icon it will ask you to sign in again: iOS gives the installed app its own storage, separate from the browser. Your account and your subscription are the same ones.
