Oba Ifarotimi was initiated into the priesthood of Ifá in 1988, taught directly by his father, Chief Liadifadare, the Balogun of Ija-Ofa. He spent years learning the tradition from the inside before he was trusted to practise on his own.
His work has carried him from Abeokuta to Lagos and grown deeper with every passing year. In 2012 he was made Oba Isese of Ogun State, an honour that recognises him as a true custodian of the living tradition.

“Àgbọnnìrègún ló mọ ọjọ́ a bí ni. Orunmila alone knows the day of one’s birth.”
Ifá holds the memory of the Yoruba people: their philosophy, history, and ethics gathered into one living body of knowledge. At its heart is the Opón Ifá, the divination tray the Babalawo reads to open the 256 Odù, each one carrying hundreds of sacred verses.
This is not fortune-telling. It is a careful conversation with generations of wisdom, done with real protocol and matched honestly to whatever you are facing.
