My goodness, man you're created for this. I thank you...
For some reason oshun was on my heart I want to learn more
Every day I learn something new brother maybe one day I get my orisha inshallah
Iboru Iboya Iboshishe,
As always an excellent video with clear concise useful information.
My spirit led me too this video thank you King 🖤
Same here
This is so awesome. I'm looking forward to taking your classes
I could listen to this channel all day long, so glad I discovered it.
New sub here!
Welcome!
Aalafia! This one started off pretty good then turned up another level and became mind blowing. When you talked about how empowerment depends on what type of spirit/ consciousness we are working from
beeni (yes!). we cannot use a one-size-fits-all approach. it requires that we start at the true beginning, which is spiritual identity!!!
@@ObafemiO love the statement sensi. Can u explain it more in dept?
Found this accidentally liking and subscribing 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
I'm a leader!
Blessings so glad this is here ❤
Did some praying n found this Thank U
We thank ifa
Thank you, I'm totally ignorant of this tradition but I enjoyed this.
OMG he spoke on my issue I want to go deeper but I need to know what I'm supposed to experience during my stages of development.
the experience is what matters most, but it's a hardest part to teach. this is where mentorship becomes in... it's the difference between being a STUDENT and an APPRENTICE. studetns learn information and maybe techniques. apprentices cultivate an awareness and connection to the information/techniques. big difference. both are necessary.
Thank u so much my brother...ur knowledge is very well appreciated.. I am learning more about ancestors and Spirit guides. In my mind if the MOST HIGH GOD gave us dominion over certain things in life he also assigned deities to oversee them. Hence Spirit guides and ancestors.This is the way I'm thinking

This video kept popping up for a reason.... Thank you❤️
ifa is truly great. ase!
Oh my... I am so thankful to have come across your video! Finally, I am on the right path! I will be following you faithfully. There is so much I need to learn.
i give thanks that the message has reached you at the right time. let us continue to teach and learn together. ase!
Ase ase ase ooo
I find this video on the Leo full moon right after I put up my Orisha statues
Grand rising everyone new to this I've been reading and learning about the orisha j would love to grow in ifa but I dont want to be disrespectful or do things the wrong way...please I would love to grow and be guided the right way .
Thank you very much. Your approach is very proper. I strongly recommend that you learn as much as you can about the history, the culture and the fundamentals of the tradition BEFORE you do any kind of ritual. Start with my class, Intro to Yoruba Spirituality and then get my book, the Fundamentals of OrisaLifestyle. Both are available at ObafemiO.com/classes.
Am proud to be a Yoruba, Aboruboye, Aboye bo sise, Oodua yoo gbe wa o.
Wow, your video popped up at the right time. Thank you so much ✨
Well that was great. Looking forward to learning more. May you be blessed
Interesting and insightful presentation.
I found your page a year ago and find myself coming back to it. Thank you.
I can’t help but to speak justice and freedom into your spirit, this person cannot hold you to evil or any of which results in such. You have ultimate control of how you accommodate your environment. Protect yourself, protect your heart. They need you at full, not half full.
ase!

Expansion/Contraction
Ase’
Just thx you 🙏🏽
we thank ifa
I've become more and more interested in Yoruba spirituality and reconnecting with my ancestry. My only confusion is on how to get into the practice. I've seen many people say that you need to have an initiation process and that it can be long, but there is absolutely nobody near me that is an elder in the practice. If you could give me a bit more insight on this, that would be amazing. Thank you
Get trained before you get initiated. Learn more about learning opportunities at OrisaLifestyle.com
Thank you , brother. Ashe
Great teaching! E se 👊🏾
We thank Ifa
I cried watching this video it’s so hard for me to grasp spirituality it sounds so complex to understand. I have been seeking this development for a year now.I’m in the knowledge stage but have found knowledge I regsinate with
Thank you for being so clear
i believe what is clear is simple and what is simple gets done. also, if you want to learn even more, consider my School of Orisa Studies. when you become a member, you get access to the activites associated with my videos!!! learn more bit.ly/OrisaStudies

Ase O!
Please let people know there nothing about darkness, if you do good will follow, if do bad will follow,
Aboro Aboye! My grandfather was/is a babalawo. In my readings I’ve been told that I will follow in his footsteps. I’ve been seeing too many signs to post. It’s very difficult for me to learn/practice due to my location and lack of my peoples lol. Any advice on how I can learn and practice and gain more exposure without running into a trap or salesmen?
I would like to know this as well
Today I had a dream with a women in a gold dress she had beautiful dark skin and long braids. It was very short I was outside and she walked up to me and “ hello Thalia “ she winked and I woke up I’ve been hesitant about my journey but when I woke up I knew it was time for me to get deeper
you might consider my work on dreams, called ALAKONERI. ct obafemio.com/publications
Thank you for the info ✊🏾
we thank ifa
Thank you
We thank Ifa
Nicely done I am so interested in this course
Wow !! Thank you first time someone explain literally
Glad it helped! we thank ifa.
🌸Thank you 🙏🏾 am new subscriber to your channel 🌺
you are very welcome!!!
I would like to know if you are conducting personal consultations... Thank you.
I arrived here, hearing your name fall from Tirra Omilade's mouth. Brother, you made this so plain. Thank you!
i am grateful for your participation and glad that the message resonates with you.
I hope you get this I would love to learn from you I feel completely comfortable
I'm glad that you feel that way. Please check out my complete course menu at www.ObafemiO.com/publications
Can European-Americans become followers of Orisha?
I ask because there is this book God Is Not One by Stephen Prothero where different religions are solutions to problems. The problem of Christianity is sin and its solution is salvation. The problem of Buddhism is suffering and its solution is enlightenment. The problem of Confucianism is chaos, its solution is social order. None of these problems/solutions are my central focus. What grabbed my attention is this: The problem of Yoruba is disconnection, its solution is connection. THAT is what I have been seeking this whole time.
are those iyun beads? I was told I needed to get them .
Do you think that Olofi is often Olorun living life as a normal person so as to better understand the people? I'm new to this and just speculating, though to me it does seem within his character.
Those are different appellations or praise names for the Supreme Being, who we call Olodumare. Olofin is the law giver and Olorun is the Lord of Heaven.
Hi I am also a beginner in the Orisa tradition. However I reside in Trinidad. Do you know of a teacher or a babalawo over here?
I myself would humbly like to no
Alaafia.
Another great video!
What is the name of the book that coincides with this video and it's information?
Mo dope O
Stephanie Almond
i haven't written it yet!!
Wow... He was talking to me...
What do I need to do to figure out which orishas I belong to?
I gave up drugs n alcohol I seek strength n guidance from the 7 powers...does my zodiac determine who my orisha is?
bloodline and destiny determine orisa. the zodiac has no relationship whatsoever.
I think i am at the awareness stage but i need help with the control so i can reach empowerment how do i get there? And how do i join the academy?
control requires discipline and patience. have you ritualized your day? have you established a spiritual plan... a plan for your life, based upon your spiritual development? the plan is important to control. you cannot actually exercise control without a plan. otherwise, what are you controlling for? you can join the academy at various levels. visit www.orisalifestyle.com for more details, please.
I'm am a new learner, and seeking understanding. What IS Orisha? Are Orisha gods? People? Or energy?
All of the above and a bit more. They're forces of nature, ancestral guides and founders of vocational disciplines.
@@ObafemiO Thank you so much for your quick response. I've been studying about Babalou Aye. What focus of nature is he? Is it just illness? Was he really a person that was deified?
obaluaiye is primarily the deity of smallpox and, by extension, infectious disease. but strict categorizations will not be beneficial to your understanding. the best thing to do is to limit internet research and focus on sacred text; oriki and odu ifa. that is where you will gain a clear understanding of the orisa, as well as any aspect of our tradition. in order to gain access to that kind of teaching, you must establish a relationship with a qualified priest or priestess. it will take time. you will be required to establish trust. anything else will prove useless if you are serious minded.
@@ObafemiO Thank you again! 🙏🏽. I'm working on a community project to raise awareness of African traditions and spirituality. This Orisha is the first one that is on my list. Because of the times we live in at present, I thought our people would relate best to him. I want to make sure the information that I share is accurate. This is why I'm asking so many questions. Want to impress upon those who take the time to learn the importance of WHY Babalou Aye needs to be recognized and venerated.
Do you do readings?
How do you work with those who don't live in GA? How much do your course cost? Where can I find the materials I need for transition? I have a lot of questions. I'm always in GA.
Thanks for the inquiries. Please visit ObafemiO.com for all the answers you seek.
I am very spiritual. Practicing the yoruba religion is new for me. I have no idea what to do it where to begin. I'm looking for a community where I live. Can you help?
Study a lot: ObafemiO.com/publications
IBORU IBOYA IBOSHESHE...
HOW CAN I GET IN CONTACT WITH YOU
Even though not initiated, wouldnit he wrong to pray to Orisha for guidance? I know offerings need a professional to be advised , but is it the same with prayer?
I recommend prayer. I suggest that people learn the formalities and details of traditional prayers.
How can I purchase one of your books?
Excellent description of Ifa. Do you hold classes? I want to learn more. I just ordered your book.
yes, the classes are also on my website. every book has a link to the classes. www.ObafemiO.com/classes
ObafemiO Do you have to be initiated to work with the Orishas?
Where can I get the list of the Books you introducing to Us
Visit ObafemiO.com/publications
Could please us if we didn't so call brainwashed we would have better off people
Can I meditate and ask for guidance and protection from yemeya and ogun if I’m not initiated, I want to learn more and be initiated into the ifa spiritual system
Well... i suppose it's possible but I would not recommend it. For example, how would you know the difference between the message that comes from one deity or another, versus your ancestors or your own internal Spirit? The first thing is to learn discernment from the inside out. Orisa should be the furthest from your mind, speak less of initiation. Connect with your ancestors and your ori first.
Can I leave rituals even though I am not initiated can I leave Oshun an offering?
i would not do it, personally. make prayers and meditate on your problems. when you want to make offerings, go to a qualified priest/priestess and learn the protocol. if you believe in orisa then you also respect the rules of engagement, just as you would fire, ocean, electricity, etc.
How do u pick a mate in this lifestyle?
within yoruba culture, there is a well-defined marriage process. but within the religious practitioners, there are no fixed ways to go about the process. you would have to work with a priest or priestess who is adept in that way.
Does a person who wants to live the Ifa lifestyle have to be African? Or Yoruba?
How you spell the names for hot and cold
I used to wnna do this but I don’t get treated nicely by any one in the tradition or babalowo
it is a system that requires a considerable degree of autonomy and focus. you can experience great things but you have to manage your expectations very closely.
I guess that means it is only meant for certain ppl
Hello, my mamá is from Cuba and has told me about Santería and I am 100% devoted into learning about it all but I don’t know where to begin. Is there any books that you or anyone in the comments could recommend to me I am very spiritual and love and am intrigued by what I have been learning.
Yes, please visit www.ObafemiO.com/publications
