I'm Establishing an Ifa Temple! by omolawo: 5:06pm On Dec 19, 2008 |
Hello everyone! I'm so glad to have found this forum. Although I am an oyinbo [/i]from the United States (Michigan), for the past eighteen years I have been studying the ancient and profound Yoruba religion of [i]Ifa, and 7 years ago I was blessed to undergo initiation into [i]Ifa [/i]in Ogun state. I am in the process of establishing a formal [i]Ifa [/i]Temple here in the Midwest. Please send some good thoughts this way and may the [i]Irunmole [/i]and [i]Orisa [/i]continue to richly bless us all! Ore re, "Omolawo" |

You Oyinbo . , people gave our people your lying religion of Christianity, then you all grab our cultural rites. That's something the devil would do. If you want to help people, first show them the lies of Christianity and Judaism. 1 Like |

You want to learn Ifa from an Oyinbo , Wasn't it Oyinbo who said Orisha was evil , So when everyone left the original way of life the oyinbo grabbed it, very soon (500 years from now) the oyinbo man will be claiming that Ifa and the Orisha is their stories. Just like they do in Greece and Ancient Tamare falsely called Africa and Egypt today by the pale man and other invaders. 1 Like |

Kuns: I hope the original poster hasn't been scared off by all this vitriol. This man is a babalawo, he has been to igbodu. Where have you been Kuns? I hope you are not one of those types that like to shout about africa and slavery, but when you are questioned about it it turns out that you don't actually know about Africa or it's history, or it's cultural traditions. It is not enough to just have black skin. I've met so many white people that are more grounded in African culture than so-called africans, you can't hold up a candle to them, nay even a matchstick, when it comes to yoruba philosophy, they'll laugh you out of the room. Go and educate yourself. Please don't use Ifa as a platform for launching hate propelled missiles. If you have issues, there are other ways of coming to terms with them. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: I'm Establishing an Ifa Temple! by PastorAIO: 10:54pm On Dec 22, 2008 |
tpia: Igbodu is Igbo Odu. The Grove of Odu. This is any sacred grove in which Ifa is worshipped. This is where Ite'fa, that is initiation into Ifa, takes place. Te in yoruba means to mark, to imprint, but it is often translated as initiation. After Itefa a person becomes a babalawo. (ps. Ite also means throne, I believe). There are Igbodus all over Yorubaland though not as many as there used to be. |

tpia: Or, it can mean being stepped on by Ifa. I am not in actual fact an Ifa priest. Are you that impressed with what I've told you? I have spent almost all of my adult life studying world religions and I am always happy to discuss much that I've learnt. Like I've said numerously all over this forum, My words should be taken as they are, don't accept what I've said simply because I'm a pastor (ad hominem). If anyone gets misled then they have misled themselves (a remarkably easy thing to do apparently). |
