The app
What La Palabra de Ifá is
La Palabra de Ifá is a study app with the 256 Odù of the Ifá oracle in the Lukumí tradition, the one that crossed the sea and was rebuilt in Cuba. It is the phone version of this same treatise: the same corpus, arranged so you can study it wherever you are.
It is made for the religious person who studies: the awó and the aleyo who want to have at hand the prayer of a sign, its patakíes, its iré and osogbo, or to go over the Odù of the day. It gives no consultations and no predictions: the house documents what the texts say, and the consultation is still the babalawo's work.
