Ifa's initiation into Yoruba culture is based on knowledge. Starting in Ifá, in any of the Yoruba ceremonies, means committing to a life of study that allows us to have the tools and learn the advice that Ifá and the Orisha give us to improve our luck and overcome any tribulation. Here you will be able to know the different Yorubas initiation ceremonies, what it consists of and you will be able to obtain the keys to start in Ifá and what to do once started.
Knowing the Odù de Ifá, your priest will be able to make offerings to the Orisa that will be key to improving different aspects of your life. By acquiring this Ifá initiation, the person will have the power to perform different Yoruba ceremonies depending on the knowledge they have acquired. This knowledge can be improved with the Ifá Tradicional app.
In the Yoruba culture, there are several types of Ifá initiation that take place from the time the children are just born until they begin completely on the Ifá paths to become a babalawo.
Click on each one and know what they consist of.
None of the previous Yoruba initiations and ceremonies can be performed a second time, so it is important to know where and with whom we perform it. As in the case of the Ifá divination or any other Yoruba ceremony, we must start with a babalawo about whom we are sure of his knowledge and results.
Ifá study is the key before and after the traditional Ifá initiation. Knowing our Odù de Ifá and learning it well we can prevent many problems or improve our lives.
The initiates will be able to perform divination and Ifá ceremonies, provided you have the necessary knowledge. If you are not in possession of them, you should not perform these tasks.
A babalawo and any initiate must have good behavior: be correct and respect the moral laws that Ifá instills in us. Learn more about the commandments in the app.
