Just in — 
Cast a pattern
Watch an ọ̀pẹ̀lẹ̀ fall and form one of the 256 Odù — a simulation of the mechanics, clearly labelled as one. If you have a physical chain in front of you, enter its eight positions instead and the site names the pattern.
Ifá is a living Yorùbá religious, philosophical and divinatory tradition. What follows is for education and exploration: the structure of the sign system, and what scholars have recorded about how it is used. A traditional Ifá consultation involves trained practitioners and a transmitted body of knowledge that software cannot reproduce, and nothing on these pages stands in for one.
The House of Ifá is an educational section. Satin Cradle is not a babaláwo, an ìyánífá, a priest, an initiated practitioner or an oracle, and does not offer consultations. Nothing here is needed for any practice.
