Ifá Tradicional is the ultimate Ifá manual. It is the result of 30 years of practice, knowledge, and dedication by one of the greatest Bàbáláwo in the West: Ifábíyìí Akódà. This app offers an unparalleled learning experience, gathering all the wisdom acquired and verified over three decades. The result? An exclusive learning tool that goes beyond what you might find in books, digital documents, or any other resource.
Besides the hard work of research and verification of the results of each ceremony, offering, and verse of Ifá, Ifábíyìí Akódà adds value to this information by making audio of verses in Yoruba with authentic and perfect pronunciation available to users, as well as exclusive videos of traditional ceremonies conducted by Bàbáláwo in Nigeria. This combination of detailed content and authentic multimedia resources offers an experience that has not been published nor will be available anywhere else.
Ifá Tradicional is, without a doubt, the manual that brings together everything a person needs to know to practice Ifá authentically and in a structured way, making this app the best created so far to delve into this ancient knowledge.
What does Ifá Tradicional contain? Three levels of wisdom and over 600 exclusive lessons
Ifá Tradicional is an app created for all levels of knowledge, from beginners to the most experienced Bàbáláwo. With over 600 lessons that will be progressively published and available every four days (coinciding with Ojose or Ifá Day), this app is an Ifá manual that provides structured and guided learning, step-by-step, allowing users to deepen their understanding of traditional Ifá practice at their own pace.
Initial Level: Opening the doors of Ifá
The initial level is completely free and is perfect for those approaching Ifá for the first time or curious about the Yoruba religion. This level offers the basic foundations of Ifá practice and allows users to explore essential aspects of the tradition at no cost. Additionally, it includes access to:
- A basic Yoruba calendar showing the days dedicated to the worship of various Òrìṣà.
- 100 traditional Yoruba names and 25 typical food recipes.
- News and special content from Oke Itase, available annually.
Beginner Level: For those starting their journey in Ifá
The Beginner level is designed for those who have already decided to delve into Ifá practice or who have recently begun. This level contains deeper lessons covering:
- Foundations of practice: Detailed introductions to essential knowledge and materials.
- Explanations of the practical bases of Ifá and the role of Òrìṣà in the tradition.
- Instructions on simple ceremonies, offerings, and medicines, suitable for those taking their first steps in the practice.
Subscribers at this level also have access to 500 additional names and 30 extra dishes, with the ability to search recipes by name or specific ingredients. This feature is especially useful when searching for a specific food for propitiation or selecting types of dishes to prepare.
Advanced Level: Exclusive wisdom for experienced Bàbáláwo
The Advanced level is the heart of Ifá Tradicional, reserved for experienced Bàbáláwo and profound connoisseurs of the religion. This level contains:
- Highly valuable practical lessons: Precise instructions on offerings, ceremonies, and Ifá medicines that have been verified by Ifábíyìí Akódà over the years.
- Detailed rituals and specific propitiations, with exact guides and keys to ensure the desired results.
This advanced level offers exclusive access to 500 names and 40 additional dishes. Moreover, those with both Beginner and Advanced subscriptions can access a total of 1600 names and 105 traditional dishes, maximizing knowledge and depth of resources available.
Exclusive features: Access to events, audios, videos, and more in Ifá Tradicional
Ifá Tradicional offers exclusive access to ceremonies on the days of Òrìṣà, such as Obàtálá, Sango, Ògún, and others. Each event in the calendar comes with detailed explanations on how to perform each ceremony and what specific materials are needed for the offerings, something that only Beginner and Advanced level subscribers can explore.
Furthermore, all subscription levels include audio of verses in Yoruba, recited by authentic Yoruba Bàbáláwo, and unpublished videos of ceremonies. With these resources, users can not only read about the ceremonies but also watch and listen to them directly, offering a complete experience and enabling visual and auditory learning.
How does the new version of Ifá Tradicional work?
The app redesign introduces fundamental changes that make learning more fluid and secure. Now, users must register and log in to access the content, thus ensuring secure and personalized access. If you were already a user of the previous version and had an account in the VIP Zone, you need to register again with your Apple account, other accounts, or email.
Access to Beginner and Advanced lessons
To access the subscription levels (Beginner and Advanced), users must subscribe, with monthly and annual options. We recommend the annual subscription, as it offers an additional discount and ensures prolonged access to the content. Once subscribed, the first lesson is unlocked, and from there, a new lesson will open every four days (Ojose). This ensures progressive and structured learning, ensuring that each knowledge is assimilated and practiced before moving to the next.
With the subscription, users access lessons corresponding only to that level. They can access all Beginner and Advanced lessons simultaneously only if subscribed to both levels.
Users can also “like” their favorite lessons, filter them, or use the search feature to find specific lessons, making study more personalized and easier to manage.
Unique features for an enriched learning experience
In addition to exclusive content, Ifá Tradicional includes two innovative features that are only available to subscribers:
1. Repeat Mode: By pressing and holding the audio playback button, you can activate the loop feature, allowing you to listen to Yoruba verses continuously until stopping the audio. This facilitates uninterrupted memorization and practice.
2. Exclusive Verse Mode: By shaking your phone, all information is simplified, showing only the Ifá verses and their audios in Yoruba. This allows users performing a ceremony to focus solely on the essential elements, eliminating distractions and maintaining focus on the practice.
Access to special coupons for Subscribers
One of the new exclusive features for subscribers is access to discount coupons for other Ifá applications. This option, available in the Settings section, rewards users’ loyalty and allows them to explore other tools to deepen their knowledge of Ifá further.
