About Us

​Oluwo Adeleke Ifatosin Ayinla is not merely a Babalawo; he is a living embodiment of Ifá tradition, born into a lineage deeply intertwined with the very fabric of Yoruba spirituality. From the moment of his birth, Ifá has been his inheritance, his destiny, and his life's unwavering path.

Descended from a family of Babalawos stretching back to time immemorial – "Since God created the world, our family has been in Ifá tradition," he declares with the quiet confidence of one who knows his roots run deep. Trained from a young age by his revered Grandfather, the late Adeleke Ifatoki Alabi, and his father, Adeleke Ajadí Ifalèrè, Oluwo Ifatosin is a direct conduit to generations of accumulated wisdom and spiritual mastery.

In 2004, after rigorous training and initiation within his father's temple in Lagos, Oluwo Ifatosin embarked on his own divine mission, establishing Ilé Ìká Ìwòrì temple. Named after his ancestral family compound, Totoola compound in Ilobu, Osun State, Nigeria, Ilé Ìká Ìwòrì became a beacon of authentic Ifá practice, drawing seekers from far and wide.

Oluwo Ifatosin’s spiritual journey has been expansive and transformative, taking him across Nigeria’s vast landscape – traversing nearly 30 states – and beyond, to Benin Republic, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Dubai, Cotonou, and numerous other lands. Now, with the establishment of Ifá Temple Chicago, he brings his profound wisdom and life's work to America, answering a divine call to serve the diaspora.
