Continuous practice and learning transform a perfect Awo to a veteran Babalawo.
A well trained herbalist that is open to learning more will later become a master of medicine.
Cast Ifa divination for One whose chest refuses to admit negative forces.
Cast Ifa divination to One whose chest creates room to accommodate positive forces.
If death is coming our way, Baba that rejects negative forces, my chest rejects it.
If illness is coming our way, Baba that reject negative forces, my chest rejects it.
If all negative forces are coming our way, Baba that rejects negative forces, our chest rejects it.
BUT when blessings such as wealth, a compatible spouse, children and all the good things of life are coming my way, Baba that accepts and accommodates such, please my chest accepts that.
I welcome you all to the comprehensive part of our Ifa For Beginners program.
From the 29th of September, we will meet on Zoom by 4pm Nigerian time to start with a proper introduction to the course and to share our expectation for the next year.
In this class, there's no student or teacher, no divisions or strangers, we are all one big family coming together to learn and in doing so, to form a very strong unbreakable bond.
You might find me to be a little bit harsh this time around, this is because learning Ifa is not easy and it might be necessary for me to push hard from time to time so as to bring out the best from us all. At the end, we aim to produce some of the best Babalawo/Iyanifa from this institute either for the purpose of practising or for the sake of being of service to your family and friends.
Please note that everybody is expected to actively participate in the class. Let us all have Opon Ifa (Ifa divination tray), iyerosun or flour (for practice), Ikin Ifa that is not yet consecrated or stones, and Opele (Ifa divination chain) that is not consecrated with the complete determinants.
I invite us all to start preparing ourselves mentally and spiritually for this ride, it's gonna be a fruitful journey! 🥰🥰🥰
See y'all soon!
