Dear seeker of wisdom,
Perhaps you want to understand your personal Òrìṣà more deeply. Perhaps you are returning to an Odù received at initiation. Or perhaps a story has stayed with you because it speaks to something you are living through.
What does this teaching ask of me? How might it illuminate a relationship, a recurring difficulty, or a decision? What can I learn about my character—and what might I need to change?
ASK IFÁ & ÒRÌṢÀ gives these questions a place to unfold.
The new AI-assisted companion of DAILY IFÁ ACADEMY brings together the knowledge behind Voice of the Orishás and Wisdom of Ifá in one independent browser app. You do not need a ChatGPT, Gemini, or other AI-service account.
Ifá and Òrìṣà teachings. One place to explore.
The app draws on the extensive knowledge collections I have assembled through my research, writing, and practice.
Explore the Òrìṣà. Discover myths, characteristics, and cultural backgrounds. Consider how their stories illuminate love, ambition, loyalty, loss, responsibility, and transformation—with attention to differences among traditions.
Explore all 256 Odù. Deepen your study of an initiation Odù or an Odù received in divination. Examine stories, proverbs, and recurring themes beyond a brief description.
Begin without knowing your personal connections. You do not need to know your life Odù or personal Òrìṣà. You can begin with a traditional story, a subject you want to understand, or an experience that raises a question.
Ask in your preferred language, choose a brief or deeper explanation, and continue with follow-up questions.
What could you ask?
“What can Òṣun’s stories teach me about generosity, self-worth, and boundaries?”
“I received Ìwòrì Ìká at initiation. Which questions of character should I study?”
“How do Yorùbá, Lucumí, and Brazilian Candomblé traditions differ in their understanding of this Òrìṣà?”
“I am taking on a new responsibility at work. Help me reflect on patience and leadership through Ifá teachings.”
You can then ask: “Explain that more simply,” “Which story illustrates this?” or “What should I take back to my elder or diviner?”

A companion for study and reflection
The app’s answers are generated by AI. They are not personal consultations written or individually reviewed by me.
ASK IFÁ & ÒRÌṢÀ does not determine your personal Òrìṣà, establish your initiation Odù, or perform divination. Discussing a sign cannot establish the specific message or ritual obligations of a consultation.
Use the conversation alongside your own judgment, study, and the guidance of your elders, spiritual house, or diviner. AI can make mistakes, including in references and interpretations.
