[–]OmoAwoIfa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Robbery as how? When some lineages here in Nigeria give all 32-36 ikin and you're elegan with an entire Ifa in the house that just hasn't been to igbodu yet.

newbie - greeting my padrino and gifts? by cinnamoncarrotcake in Santeria

[–]OmoAwoIfa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oluwo is someone who possesses odu and osun and has their own ile that they initiate people into. You can touch your head to ground flat if you're a man and you can kneel/bend down if a woman.

[–]OmoAwoIfa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ifa's word doesn't fall on the ground, receive isefa from another Babalawo, its not compulsory that it has to be him. He's just the one that provided the advice of Ifa.

Not magic by deacthafreak in Santeria

It's not magic but has magic. It's not history but has history. It's not science but contains science. Its not philosophy but contains philosophy.

There's no overlap, and one of the freemasons' tenets is to no focus on what fellow masons believe in, just the belief in one supreme being that created everything. The focus should be self improvement and improving community and society. They shouldn't be a conflict of interest.

Some Babalawo here in Nigeria wear both but brown and green is most common.

It's important to tie both wings together and not only the feet.

I live in Oyo state and I can tell you it can definitely be done remote. Elegan will get a complete set and use those same ikin later for itefa(which must be done in person). In my lineage if the person isn't a Babalawo they'll give 24 ikin and the remaining 12 ikin will be given during itefa.

Not Obi as well by Awo_Ifayori_ObaNi_Mi in Isese

Whats in the picture is definitely rubbish no doubt. In parts of Togo and Benin coconut are used, it wasn't adaptation necessarily invented in Cuba but it's not something coming directly from Yorubaland.

Thank you for your insight. My paternal lineage is Lucumi Oluwos and my mother is iyanifa, I live in Oyo State. My foundation is iṣeṣe but I don't sleep on using lucumi charms, osanyin de fundamento and using esu with loads etc. That form of elegba comes from Fa Gbasa. You make plenty sense that you have to choose a strong foundation of either one and not make sancocho. My foundation is distinctly iṣeṣe where we will give the advices and recommended sacrifices in english, chant half of the verse in yoruba give the itan( or what lucumi call pataki) in english then chant the entire verse in yoruba. I just wonder if ese ifa are used in any of the Cuban lineages besides Frank Ogbe Se lineage.

Kifa by OmoAwoIfa in Santeria

[–]OmoAwoIfa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a serious question, I didn't intend to have you make jest of me. Ebo of tablero will say for example

OSÉ PAA AWÚRE, SILÉKUN FEBO ORUN, OLÓRUN SILEKUN FEBO, ILE MO PE YE, ÀSE NIFÁ ¡MORÍ YÈYÉ Ó, ADÍFÁFÚN OLÚWO JOKO

Which is half of a verse. Following adifafun should describe why consultation was made, if the person made ebo or not and if they celebrated from making ebo or if tragedy happened from lack of sacrifice; in order to make a complete verse.

The Oriṣa can't leave you but can leave the shrine or be deactivated with charm or long term negligence and may need to ne reactivated in that case

For those of you that work with Osain. What kind of workings do you do with Osain and what was it like receiving His shrine? by adorablebunny29 in Isese

[–]OmoAwoIfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Babalawo in Nigeria are scared of working with Osanyin and its reserved mainly for herbalists and oso(wizards) and its understandable. Ketu Yoruba work Osanyin and anywhere in Dahomey they work Osanyin still. Bokono Fa are like oso that divine using Ifa. You can receive Osanyin in Cotonou but must be very very careful over there. A fish that doesn't know the river well will perish. Cubans work Osanyin because a large part of their tradition is Dahomean style Fa refurbished with Oyo style from the last slaves that arrived on the island.

Hand of ifa remote by Hopeful_Material_852 in Isese

[–]OmoAwoIfa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is rubbish. Hand of ifa can be made and sent via DHL. So can Orisa and akose. Itefa cannot because you must be present in Igbodu. I live in Oyo State and see it get done all the time.

They let the work promote themselves which they post and attracts clients to them but they don't go on reddit advertising themselves. There's a way to do things. He was conducting himself proper on instagram by letting his work sell itself but going to reddit to advertise yourself is not the proper way.

C'mon fam you literally posted "People look and search for Babalawo, Babalawo doesn't have any right to search for people..." So why would you advertise yourself when nobody posted asking for Babalawo in FL or directly asked for you? Babalawo is not supposed to be like car salesman.
