I was asked this question today.. Hello, I am seeking some advise about ifa and the process of the initiation. I just want to make sure things are done correctly ? thank you..  This was my response:  There are two systems here in the states.. The Lucumi from Cuba which has spread throughout the americas, and the traditional nigerian which has begun to spread over here in the last 10 years.

Did a lookup on ab sculpting products and found that the abcontour was only good for people already in shape.. The FDA approved product that got pretty good reviews for supporting the ab muscles without really doing exercise is the flex belt...  http://www.theflexbelt.com/friends/SIXTONOVATON/ I just order it for myself... have to try to get rid of this flat tire I have around the belt.. along

I regard myself as a moderate or conservative democrat.. This is because, I am open minded and liberal in regards to religious ideology, conservation, technological advances, stem cell research, favor abortion when it is to save a life.. Yet, agree with the republicans on small government and lower taxes. I believe in buying American.. because if we do not make a change and start supporting

Here is an article that was emailed to me by a valued friend and Priest of Obatala.. This is not the first time that I had heard of these differences. I had come across them in dialoguing with my Traditional Yoruba initiated friends. Yet, this is the first time that I had seen them made public or published.. Clarifications About the Orisa Tradition of Yorubaland and the Orisa Tradition of Cuba

Laugh and the world with Laugh with you; Cry and you'll cry alone.  This is the lesson, that Orunmila had for me, on the day that I asked by way of Okpele. What should I write about today on my blog Orunmila?  Since, I've been writing articles on hubpages. I felt the need to put something out here on the blog. Hence, the question to Orunmila. This is one of the sayings of the Ifa Odu Osa Rete

This was a request via my google profile which I enjoyed very much, and would like to share with all my friends. A Godchild was doing research on a Nobel prize winner Wole Soyinka. And, they needed some orientation on how do Yoruba people think, in order for them to understand a play that made Wole Soyinka famous. I first responded with trying to get them to understand a little bit about the

I've decided to add some of my most popular Ifa Ozain products, which I personally make, to this blog. Those, that have been with me for a while, and tried the products, and order them from time to time. Usually, do so by way of email. Now, they are right here, and I will be directing folks to the this blog, where by a click of a button they can order them. The process involved in making these

Orunmila saw himself broke, and going through economic woes, due to all the favors that he had done, and all the money that he spent unwisely. Olofi sent for him in order to help him, and sent for all the other Orisha as well. He told them that he had sent for them in order to organize a grand celebration in honor of Olodumare. At the gathering, there was no food and drink, and the Orisha's

A question was posed to me a little while ago and it went just like this: I've been doing some soul searching lately. I find that I do not fit into a religion and have decided that spirituality should be my focus. I feel that sometimes my mother and father do not understand since they have sincere beliefs in the Catholic religion. I do not denounce it; however I find it very difficult to accept

This is something that all must wonder when thinking about how to get started in Santeria religious system, Orisha Worship, or Ifa. Where do I go? How do I pick a good Godparent or mentor...What should I expect? Well there is an Article already written on this; check it out; http://ifalola.blogspot.com/2007/04/on-finding-godparentspiritual.html It is always good to seek, search, and do your

While looking for a translated French book to Spanish; on the I Ching, which I had read some time ago, yet lost to a friend. I was referred to link on Pierre Teihards de Chardin. For some reason, I was drawn to reading up on him and found this quick article on; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Teilhard_de_Chardin I red lined underneath, what I found very interesting. He could not prove that

It is evident that Olodumare related a system of communication with all divinities by way of a logical, mathematical, and physics based system; to mankind. I believe this was done in order to prove the logical existence of a generative creative consciousness as is Olodumare.

I was one day looking up info on Oduduwa, and found the following article: http://www.uga.edu/aflang/YORUBA/ODUDUWA.htm; This sheds light on the Origins of the Yoruba people... Way of being, political, and religious existence, Past to present. What struck me as interesting is how the kingdoms of the Yoruba people were generated, from the surviving princes.. i.e. Oduduwa's children. 16-17 kingdoms

Being new to blogging, I sought it fit to start with an introduction to this blog with "In the beginning". Let's start with the understanding that the Lucumi tradition stems from the grouping of various peoples of Yoruba regions, on the large Island antille of Cuba. Although you will find in many articles, that the word "Lucumi", stands for friends, or we are all friends, i.e. all the groups
