This has been the foundation for many Awo in the United States and Latin America over the years. It has been said that every Awo needs to have this in his library. This work focuses on the foundational divination using obi ( 4 shell divination) and expanding into the full 16 odus that lay the foundation for Ifa practice. It includes instruction, interpretations, graphic pictures. prayers, along with an overview of the cosmology in divination and ancestor work in divination.

How do I learn my purpose in life? What does God want for me? How can I fulfill my potential? While Awo Falokun Fatunmbi touched on Ifa's perspective of these issues in previous books, in Ori he covers them on a whole new level. The Ifa Model of Consciousness fills holes in Western models of Self/Higher Self/God and empowers living a life fully aligned with our higher self and spirit. The illusion of separation is stripped away and the obvious truth becomes clear: We are spiritual beings having a physical experience. Ori offers tools to incorporate these deep understandings into a balanced life filled with all of the blessings that were intended us from the womb. Joy, Love, Children, Health & Wealth are our Spiritual rights. Unlike some Faiths which may see them as distractions, Ifa sees these earthly blessings as symptoms of living in alignment with spirit. Learn to have these symptoms too!
One of the first steps in our spiritual journey is the relationship with Egun. We setup an ancestor alter and faithfully make offerings and discuss our daily happenings, wishes, needs, and dreams. All too often through lack of knowledge from our elders, neglect or lack of communication the door to ancestor communication stays shut. Not because of anything we have done, but what we have not done.We need to open the door into that previously forbidden realm. Know and trust, without fear, a communication with our ancestors... not just a one way monologue, but that two way dialogue, that lets you have a vehicle for knowledge, healing, and informed advice from our long forgotten ancestors.Baba Fa...
Within the West African cultural spirituality of the Yoruba, Ela is known as the Spirit of Light and Manifestation meaning all things came into existence here on Ikole Aye (Earth) by way of Ela. Ela can also be summarized as the Holy Spirit of Ifa and interchangeably used as another name for Orunmila Elerin Ipin Ibikeji Olodumare (Orunmila, Withness of Creation, Second to the Creator). It is by way of Ela that Ifa became acceptable throughout the world and Orunmila accepted by followers, including followers in secret.In “Ela, The Ifa Concept of Altered States”, Awo Falokun opens the dialogue once again on how devotees can continue to seat Ifa in the West. His approach to the subject of E...
Yemoja/Olokun is the name is the name of two spiritual forces in the West African religious tradition called Ifa. The word Yemoja is an elision of the Yoruba Oriki (praise name ) Yeye mo oja, which means Mother of Fish. The word Olukun is a contraction of Olohun meaning owner, and okun meaning ocean. Both of these words are the names given to describe a complex convergence of Spiritual Forces that are key elements in the Ifa concept of fertility. Those Spritual Forces that form the foundation of Yemoja and Olokun's role in the Spirit Realm relate to the relationship between water and birth. .
Oya is the Spirit of the Wind in the West African religious tradition called "IFA." The word Oya is the name given to describe a complex convergence of Spiritual Forces that are key elements in the IFA concept of change. Those Spiritual Forces that form the foundation of Oya's role in the Spirit Realm relate to the movement between dynamics and form, as it exists throughout the Universe. According to IFA, dynamics and form represent the polarity between the forces of expansion and contraction. Together these forces create light and darkness, which in turn sustains and defines all that is. Accor4ding to IFA, it is the interaction between light and darkness that generates the physical universe and it is Oya who keeps this interaction in a constant state of flux and motion.
