Our Mission at Ifa Life Temple & Ìpadà Bọ̀ Sílẹ̀ Initiative
Bridging the Gap Between the Diaspora and the Heart of Ifa Tradition
Ifa Life Temple was established with a clear purpose: to preserve, practice, and properly transmit authentic Ifa and Isẹ̀ṣe traditions as they are lived and upheld in Ilé-Ifẹ̀, Nigeria—the spiritual and ancestral foundation of the Yoruba world. Our mission goes beyond ceremony; it is about restoring understanding, dignity, and spiritual clarity to people who have been separated from their ancestral systems through displacement, misinformation, and time.
Through the Ìpadà Bọ̀ Sílẹ̀ Initiative—meaning “the return back to the source”—we intentionally create pathways for people in the diaspora to reconnect with Ifa in a way that is correct, respectful, and accessible. We recognize that many seekers desire genuine guidance but struggle with language barriers, cultural differences, and distorted teachings. Our work removes those obstacles by translating not just words, but meaning, context, and application—so Ifa becomes something you can live by, not just observe.
At Ifa Life Temple, we meet people where they are. We understand the spiritual challenges faced in modern life—confusion about destiny, ancestral imbalance, generational trauma, and the desire for protection, direction, and healing. Our approach is rooted in compassion, discipline, and truth. We emphasize correct divination, proper preparation, ethical priesthood, and spiritual responsibility, ensuring that every service offered is aligned with Ifa law and ancestral guidance.
This mission is not about numbers or popularity. It is about building a spiritually grounded community—one person, one Ori, one destiny at a time—while maintaining the sanctity of the tradition. Those who walk with us are not clients alone; they become participants in the preservation and continuation of a living spiritual system.
Through our temple and our serene Guest Housing, we provide a safe, welcoming space for spiritual growth, cultural learning, and self-discovery. Here, initiates, seekers, and students can immerse themselves in true Yoruba spirituality, learn the language in an accessible way, and experience the culture in its purest form.
Our purpose extends beyond ritual—we are building bridges between Africa and her children abroad. By translating the wisdom of Ifa into teachings that are both practical and relatable, we help our people not only learn, but live Ifa.
Whether you come for initiation, education, or spiritual retreat, you become part of a growing global family dedicated to preserving, practicing, and sharing the beauty of Yoruba tradition with authenticity and integrity. Together, we are restoring a divine connection that was never truly lost—only waiting to be remembered.
Why We Exist
We exist because too many people are seeking Ifa through confusion, fear-based teachings, and incomplete information. Outside the land, many have been disconnected from proper lineage, correct instruction, and the lived cultural context that gives Ifa its true power and balance. This has led to misunderstanding, misuse, and spiritual harm where healing and clarity should exist.
Ifa Life Temple exists to correct that gap.
We exist to provide a place where Ifa is approached with reverence, discipline, and responsibility—where divination is done properly, guidance is given honestly, and spiritual work is not rushed or commercialized. We believe that Ifa is a system of wisdom meant to guide destiny, heal imbalance, and strengthen character, not to be reduced to trends or shortcuts.
We also exist to support the return of our people to knowledge of self. For those in the diaspora especially, we understand the need for clear explanation, cultural context, and patient teaching. Our role is to make Ifa understandable without diluting it, accessible without disrespecting it, and practical without compromising tradition.
Ultimately, we exist to help people align with their Ori, honor their ancestors, and walk their chosen path with clarity and integrity—guided by Ifa as it was intended.
Ready to Make a Change?
If you feel called to understand your destiny more clearly, reconnect with your ancestral path, or approach Ifa in a way that is correct and grounded, we invite you to take the next step with intention. Whether you are new to Ifa or seeking proper alignment after past experiences, our doors are open to those who come with sincerity, patience, and respect for the tradition.
Begin your journey with Ifa Life
Isefa (Hand of Ifa)
Isefa marks the beginning of your spiritual journey in Ifa. Through this sacred ceremony, you receive your first connection to Orunmila, the Orisa of wisdom, and learn how to communicate with your Ori (inner head). It is a personal initiation into spiritual awareness and guidance.
Benefits:
- Gain spiritual clarity and connection to your destiny.
- Receive protection and blessings through daily offerings to your Isefa.
- Learn foundational Ifa prayers, taboos, and personal discipline.
- Begin a relationship with your ancestral lineage through the Ifa oracle.
This sacred step is ideal for those who feel spiritually called but want to begin with understanding, not just ritual.
Itefa (Ifa Initiation)
Itefa is the full initiation into the mysteries of Ifa—an act of spiritual rebirth and elevation. It is the process of aligning your destiny (Ori) with divine wisdom, where you receive your Odu and begin the lifelong journey of studying and living the teachings of Orunmila.
Benefits:
- Unlock your full spiritual identity and purpose.
- Gain direct access to Ifa’s wisdom for yourself and others.
- Receive lifelong protection and guidance from Orunmila.
- Step into your destiny as a custodian of Yoruba tradition.
This initiation transforms not just your spiritual life, but your understanding of existence itself.
Divination (Ikin & Opele)
Divination (Ikin & Opele)
Divination is the language through which spirit speaks. Ifa divination is done traditionally using Ikin (sacred palm nuts), Opele (divination chain), Merindingolon (16 cowies), Agbigba or Obi Abata (kola nut). These readings provide divine insight into any area of your life—spiritual, emotional, financial, or personal.
Benefits:
- Receive answers and guidance from Orunmila and your ancestors.
- Understand causes of challenges and how to correct them.
- Identify taboos, offerings, or actions needed to restore balance.
- Find reassurance and peace through clear divine communication.
Every divination is a sacred dialogue between heaven and earth—helping you walk with confidence in the direction of destiny.
