The initiation is one of the usual questions in people who practice If\u00e1. In general, many questions arise when addressing the issue such as who to start in If\u00e1? Where to start In which lineage? When should I start in If\u00e1?<\/p>\n
To all these questions, people already have answers. Yet even so, they keep asking the same question over and over again. For this reason, we will explain the most important points that each one must take into consideration in order to confidently reach their If\u00e1 initiation.<\/p>\n
To start in Ifa, first of all, the omo awo (uninitiated) must get a babalawo with whom he has an affinity or good relationship. Then he must make the sacrifices that are prescribed in the If\u00e1 divination. After making the sacrifices, you need to make sure you see the results.<\/p>\n
In the event that, despite complying with the sacrifices and maintaining proper behavior, the results you expect do not occur, you should consider stopping your initiation with that babalawo and looking for another.<\/p>\n
\nThe first step to start in If\u00e1 is to get a babalawo with which you have a good affinity and with whom the results have been seen. From there, the place and the lineage in which to start, will depend on the babalawo<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n
In case the result is favorable, the omo awo can start learning with its babalawo following the rules that it indicates. You must ensure that the babalawo is fit and possesses the knowledge to be able to teach you If\u00e1.<\/p>\n
Where to start and in which lineage<\/h4>\n
Where you should start in If\u00e1 depends on where your If\u00e1 priest performs the If\u00e1 initiation. At this point, it is already certain that the babalawo solves your problems, so you should trust him and his decision on where to initiate.<\/p>\n
In which lineage to carry out his initiation will also depend on the babalawo with which he will carry out the initiation. Logic says that you must follow your lineage as it is the way you have solved your problems.<\/p>\n
The moment in which you must carry out the initiation in If\u00e1, will be when you have the minimum knowledge to be able to work If\u00e1 on your own, since you must depend on yourself even when you have your If\u00e1 priest.<\/p>\n
Work to be a good priest. Learn If\u00e1 correctly and take the If\u00e1 word around the world being an example to be followed by your future If\u00e1 apprentices. If you want to know more about the initiation keys, contact us.<\/p>\n"},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
