IFA & Orishas

Ifa is.....

Ifa is an African divination practice that uses sacred stories and interprets the Oracle of Ifa to provide spiritual wisdom and clarity. It allows communication with ancestor spirits and the powerful Yoruba Orishas to illuminate one's path. Practitioners study extensively under elder diviners to learn the intricate process of consulting Orunmila, the Orisha of Infinite Wisdom.

Connect to Your Ancestors & Spiritual Court

By engaging with our ancestors through offerings and dedicated practices at our boveda, we not only honor their memory but also tap into their profound wisdom. This spiritual connection allows us to receive messages that are uniquely suited to guide us through our life's challenges and opportunities. Their insights, borne of their experiences and their continued watch over us, provide a deeply personal layer of support and understanding.

Beyond attending misas, maintaining a boveda, and working with the teja de eggun, chamalongas serve as an additional, vital tool in our spiritual practices. These divination tools are employed to deepen our engagement and communication with the spiritual realm, offering a more nuanced way to understand and interpret the guidance provided by our ancestors and spirits. Chamalongas facilitate a direct connection, allowing for a clearer understanding of the messages and insights that guide our spiritual path and daily life decisions.

Engaging in consultations with the esteemed Elders of our faith, such as Babalawos, Obba Oriates, and Olorishas, allows us to tap into the profound wisdom and guidance of the Orishas. These deities, who are evolved spiritual entities selected by Olodumare—the supreme creator—to oversee and ensure harmony within our earthly existence, impart insights that are essential for our spiritual and physical equilibrium.

Through these sacred consultations, we not only seek solutions to life's trials but also gain a deeper understanding of our spiritual purpose and connection to the universe. The advice received from the Orishas through these venerable conduits is a cornerstone of our journey, providing clarity, empowerment, and a path to achieve inner peace and fulfillment. This process enriches our lives, offering a compass by which to navigate our earthly journey, anchored in the divine wisdom and love of the Orishas.
