What is Divination?
Simply put, a process or methodology through which messages are received from the Divine. Having divination performed is similar to going to see a doctor. During your health check-up (consultation) a diagnosis (reading) is given. Then remedies are prescribed (spiritual medicine or ceremony) to bring relief to issues or strength to blessings that surfaced about one's life during the check-up (consultation). This is why monikers such as shaman, healer, and bush doctor are given to those who perform the sacred art of Divination, whose methods are many. Following up with given remedies/spiritual work is strongly advised to bring life matters holistically into full balance. The spiritual work suggested from the consultation and the transformation it brings to your life is usually of greater importance than the reading itself.
General Oracle Reading
This reading will give wisdom and insight into the spiritual energy and cause & effect circumstances operating around the current state of your life. Suggestions about how to bring self into balance will be given as well as a space for you to express any joys or concerns and ask questions you may have. A perfect opportunity to investigate, confirm and validate (so start writing your questions down now). This is a great reading to have every season to keep your Self aligned, calibrated and fine tuned to your greater good, purpose and destiny.
Life Path Reading
The Life Path reading is given to grant access to basic information within your Akashic Records. Your Divine Covenant (agreements), Soul Contracts, Spirit Guides (angels, animals, minerals, plants), Ancestors & Lineages (physical & spiritual), Astrological Birth Chart, Elemental Clans, Twin Flames, Egbe Orun/Heavenly Society, Past Lives, Time Travelling, Egyptian/Kemetic Deities (Neteru), Yoruba Deities (Orisha), Ori, Life Destiny & Archetypes of Self are some topics the Oracle may discuss. A metaphysical synopsis of your divine nature and purpose this incarnation.
Mediumship Reading
A sitting with your family, friends and ancestors on the other side where messages are given to you to bring guidance, clarity, comfort, healing and reconnect you to them.
{{We are willing to barter or set up a payment plan if you are truly in need of a reading or service that you cannot currently afford. Also please inquire to see if there is a mutually beneficial exchange}}

WHAT WE ASK OF YOU
Ifa Divination Client Responsibilities
1. Do not ask that which you already know the answer to, or ask flippant, trivial or immoral questions.
2. Support your Awo Ifa/Orisa with reasonable payment, and don't claim poverty then go out and waste money on unnecessary items or services.
3. If you are going to d'afa or have a merindinlogun divination, expect there is a good chance you will have an Ebo to perform, and it is your responsibility to perform that Ebo (If you are given an answer to help you, don't expect to be helped if you don't perform the required steps).
4. Understand that everything told to you during D'afa or 'dinlogun divination is advice, your can take it or leave it, but it is meant to help you.
5. Ask questions, but think deeply about what you want to ask, and know that the Orisa or Ifa won't always give you the answer you want to hear.
6. Show respect to the Orisa and to the Awo Ifa/Awo Orisa who are assisting you.
7. Don't expect quick fixes or impossible solutions. If you deal drugs, don't expect the Orisa to keep you out of jail. If you are lazy don't expect the Orisa to give you a high powered, high paying job. If you were arrested for embezzling funds, own up to your dirty deeds and don't expect the Orisa to get you out of it (though perhaps they can help you get leniency).
8. Don't follow blindly, it's ok to ask questions, priests aren't perfect, we are all people.

ENI DA ILE A BA ILE LO.
Those who break the trust shall suffer.
1. They (16 elders) walked to Ile Ife in order to request long life. Will we live as long as Olodumare (God) was their question to Ifa. They (the Babalawos) warned, do not call esuru ( a type of yam) esuru (Which means do not say what you do not know).
2. They warned the elders, do not call esuru (the sacred stories) Esuru. (Which means do not do rites of which you do not have the basic knowledge).
3. They warned them that odide (the parakeet) should not be called oode (murcielago). (Which means, never mislead the people. Do not send a person on a false road).
4. They warned them not to say that the leaves of the Ceiba are leaves of the Oriro tree. (Which means never deceive the people).
5. They warned them not to try to swim when they do not know how to swim. (Which means do not pretend to be wise when you are not).
6. They warned them to be humble and never be egocentric.
7. They warned them not to enter the house of AKALA (title of a chief in Ifa) with bad intentions. (Which means not to be false).
8. They warned them not to use the feathers of Ikoode (sacred parrot's feathers) to clean their bottoms. (Which means not to break Taboo/Prohibitions).
9. They warned them not to defecate in Epo (food for Ifa/Orisha). (Which means always keep the sacred instruments clean).
10. They warned them that they should not urinate in Afo (the place where palm oil is made in Yorubaland). (Which means keep the Temple clean).
11. They warned them not to take the blind man's cane. (Which means they should always respect those who are weaker and treat people well and with due respect).
12. They warned them not to take an old man's cane. (Which means to respect the Elders and treat them well).
13. They warned them not to go to bed with the wife of an Ogboni (title of a Politician/Judge). (Which means respect the moral laws).
14. They warned them never to go to bed with the wife of a friend. (Which means not to betray a friend).
15. They warned them not to be gossipers. (Which means never reveal secrets).
16. They warned them not to disrespect, or ever go to bed with the wife of a Babalawo. (Which means respect those who occupy important positions).
When the Elders arrived upon the Earth, they did exactly the things that they were forbidden to do. They began to die one after another. They screamed and accused Orunmila of assassinating them. Orunmila said that it was not him who was killing them. Orunmila said that the Elders were dying because they did not follow the Commandments Of Ifa. Your Eldership is your responsibility. My Eldership is my responsibility.
Eldership does not tell a person ahead of time before it touches one.
