About
A living archive, kept with permission
Ifá Corpus exists to preserve and transmit the 256 Odù Ifá with the accuracy the tradition deserves and the accessibility the next generation needs.
Recorded in the field
Sessions are recorded on location with initiated practitioners, never reconstructed from secondary text.
Attributed by lineage
Every verse carries its recension — Ọ̀yọ́, Ìjẹ̀bú, Ifẹ̀ — and the name of the àwo who gave it.
Reviewed by scholars
Transcriptions pass through tonal review and academic annotation before publication.

Our commitments
Contributors retain rights over their recordings. Sacred material that practitioners ask us not to publish stays unpublished. Consultation is never automated, and the platform does not generate readings — it connects people to the practitioners who give them.
