It is the one that must be performed by anyone who is initiated as a babalawo or an initiate in his first steps in the traditional religion. This divination is also recommended if the situation for which the person goes to Ifá is extremely serious, even if he is not initiated. This divination consists of throwing the seeds and marking the lines on the Iyerosun (Ìyèròsùn) that rests on the Ifá board, depending on how many seeds we have left in our hand. If there is one ikin left, two lines are marked, and if there are two seeds, one line is marked until the eight that make up the Ifá sign are completed.
