Ifá refers to the system of divination and the verses of the literary corpus known as the Odù Ifá. The Ifá Divination system was added in 2005 by UNESCO to its list of the "Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity".

The Yorùbá religion comprises the traditional religious and spiritual concepts and practices of the Yorùbá people. It has influenced or given birth in the new world to a host of thriving ways of life such as Lucumí, Umbanda and Candomblé.

Our mission is to bring the philosophy, knowledge and wisdom of Ifa to all people, regardless of race, colour, sex or religion in order to promote the welfare and development of all mankind. Life is not just a gift or a present but it is in our responsibility to make best use of our limited time, and wrestling or fighting for what is noble and the best so that we can win the race of happiness, hence a crisis or challenges may or can lead us to greater victory, and joy.

Okanran meji

Take 3 obi (kola nut), 3 orogbo (bitter kola nut), 3 ataare (alligator pepper pods) and cover the opon ifa with iyeroson and mark Okanran meji and chant the mantra below eight times. You will then take between half and one kilo of ose dudu (black soap) and mix the charged iyerosun with the soap.

You will use this soap for bathing in eight consecutive days. After the bath you will take some ori in your hand and rub your head gently saying: “My head will always lead me to where I will find good luck, mercy, wealth, peace and success”. You can also use the Ori for rubbing the legs, especially for women this is good, and you will recite the same prayer, asking for the legs to bring you to places of good fortune and peace. Ase!


OKANRAN MEJI

Ifa ko o je ebo, naa o fin, ko je ebo o da,
ko je ebo naa orede orun bure bure
Sokoto mo jalawa
Adi ifa fun aluko ogogoro
Nijo ti n lo re saroji fun n ife oodaye

Ojo p aluko
Are idi e d odi
O d asure

Jeki asibi dasure fun mi ati gbogbo ololufe gbogbo ifa
Ase

Ifa ko o jebo naa fin ko je ebo o da ,koje ebo naa orede orun burebure
Okanran kan nihin
Okanran kan lohun
Okanran mejeji pakun kale oju won kpon
Kanrin kanrin di fa fun LAALU
Tii somo kunrin ode
Oruko ti a i pe ESU

Ase!

Translation:

Make my sacrifice auspicious, let the ritual be accepted
And let my undertaking go up to the place of divine realm
My mission will succeed
Thus declared Ifá oracle
When the tall cock, the diviner
Came to Ifá for advice
As the set out for ancient Ife
To make rain for the drought struck city

When tall cock succeeded
It rained and rained
Till he was soaked
Wings and tail
Soaked and confused
Wishing to bless
Instead he cursed
May evil intents turn to good deeds for me and my well wishers.
Ase

Make our sacrifice auspicious, Ifá
Let the ritual be accepted, and let my undertaking go up to the place of divine realm

If Okanran is cast on the right
And Okanran is cast on the left,
The configuration result in
Okanran meji,
Is fraught with grave consequences
Thus declare ifa oracle to LAALU mighty lord of the cross roads
Whom we call ESU
May all my well wishers, my family member, friends and relatives live long Ifá
May we live to a ripe and old age.
ASE.
