KinzyeWriter:It is very possible. Bsc Courses in Nigeria Universities ranges from 4 to 6 years. So getting a native doctor certification / babalawo certification worth 5 to 21 years of studies. So respect a babalawo when you meet one because it is not easy to become a babalawo. Babalawos |
chukwuibuipob:Aboye Abosisi, I reside in Benin City. Babalawos |
Christane:Aboru Aboye I had been very busy lately, that was why I was unable to reply you. You will find your answer in Oyeku Meji. Go and study Oyeku Meji. Babalawos |
Christane:How does your question relate to this topic "Osun Festival?" |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpRdjNsPeGs Osun Osogbo Sacred Grove is a sacred forest along the banks of the Osun river just outside the city of Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria. The Osun Osogbo Grove is among the last of the sacred forests which usually adjoined the edges of most Yoruba cities before extensive urbanization. In recognition of its global significance and its cultural value, the Sacred Grove was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. The 1950s saw the desecration of the Osun Osogbo Grove: shrines were neglected, priests abandoned the grove as customary responsibilities and sanctions weakened. Prohibited actions like fishing, hunting and felling of trees in the grove took place until Austrian, Susanne Wenger, came and stopped the abuse going on in the grove. With the encouragement of the Ataoja and the support of the local people, "Wenger formed the New Sacred Art movement to challenge land speculators, repel poachers, protect shrines and begin the long process of bringing the sacred place back to life by establishing it, again, at the sacred heart of Osogbo. Every year, the Osun festival is celebrated in the month of August at the grove. Yearly, the festival attracts thousands of Osun worshippers, spectators and tourists from all walks of life. For the people of Osogbo Land, August is a month of celebration, traditional cleansing of the city and cultural reunion of the people with their ancestors and founders of the Osogbo Kingdom. The Osun Festival is a two-week-long programme. It starts with the traditional cleansing of the town called 'Iwopopo' which is followed in three days by the lighting of the 500-year-old sixteen-point lamp called 'Ina Olojumerindinlogun'. Ina Olojumerindinlogun, the sacred lamp lit at the beginning of the annual Osogbo festival, then comes the 'Ibroriade', an assemblage of the crowns of the past ruler, Ataojas of Osogbo for blessings. This event is led by the sitting Ataoja of Osogbo and the Arugba, Yeye Osun and a committee of priestesses. Thank you for reading, leave a comment Babalawos |

Timhim:What? |
The most remarkable work of Ejiogbe in heaven is his revelation of how the Head, which was itself a Divinity, came to have a permanent abode on the body. The Divinities were originally created without the Head as it is today because the Head itself was one of the divinities. The Head As A Divinity The Awo who made divination for the Head, Ori-omo Atete Ni Iron (hereafter called ORI) was called Amure, awo eba ono, who lived in heaven. Orunmila invited Amure to make divination for him on how to have a complete physical feature because none of them (divinities) had a head at the time. The Awo told Orunmila to rub both palms upwards and pray to have a head. He was told to make sacrifice with four kolanuts, clay bowl, sponge and soap. He was told to keep the kolanuts on his lfa shrine without splitting them because an inconsequential visitor would later come to break them. ORI (Head) also invited Amure for divination and he was told to serve his guardian angel with four kolanuts, which he could not afford to buy, although he was told that he would only begin to prosper after making the sacrifice. After making his own sacrifice, Orunmila left the four kolanuts on his lfa shrine as he was advised to do. Thereafter Esu announced in heaven that Orunmila had four beautiful kola nuts at his shrine and was looking for a suitable divinity to break them. Led by Ogun, all the divinities visited Orunmila one after the other but he told each of them that they were not strong enough to break the kolanuts. They felt slighted and left him in annoyance. Even Orisa Nla (God the son) himself visited Orunmlla but he entertained him with different and better kolanuts, remarking that the controversial kolanuts were not meant for him to break. Since God is never known to lose his temper, he accepted the fresh kolanuts given to him by Orunmila and left. Finally, ORI decided to visit Orunmila, since he was the only divinity who had not tried to break the mysterious kolanuts, especially as he could not even afford to buy the ones with which he was required to serve his guardian angel. He then rolled up to Orunmila's house. As soon as orunmila saw ORI rolling down to his house, he met him and carried him up inside the house. Orunmila immediately got the clay bowl, filled it with water and used the sponge and the soap to wash ORI, clean. After towelling him, Orunmila carried ORI to his shrine and requested him to break the kolanuts because the had for long been kept for him. After thanking Orunmila for his honorific gesture, ORI prayed for Orunmila with the kolanuts that whatever he did should have fulfttment and manifestation. Next ORI used the kolanuts to pray for himself to have a permanent abode and plenty of followers. ORI then rolled backwards and charged against the kolanuts and they broke up with a very loud explosion which echoed throughout the length and breadth of heaven. On hearing the sound of the explosion, all the other divinities immediately realised that the kolanuts at orunmila's shrine had finally been split and they were all curious to know who succeeded in breaking the kola nuts that had defied everyone including God. When Esu subsequently announced that the kolanuts had been split by ORI, all the divinities agreed that the "Head" was the right divinity to do it. Almost immediately afterwards, the hand, feet, body, stomach, chest, neck etc each of which before then had distinct identities, all assembled and decided to go and live with the head, not having previously realised that he was so important. Together, they all carried the Head high above them and right there at the shrine of Orunmila, the Head was crowned the king of the body. It is on account of the role played by Orunmila in his fortune that the head touches the ground to defer and rever to Orunmila to this day. That is also why in spite of being the youngest of all the divinities, Orunmila is more important and more popular than all of them. Thank you for reading, leave a comment Babalawos

CURSE SWOLLEN LEGS EXPERIENCE About 3 years ago, a young man's leg started to swell after he returned back from the village to the city. At first he thought it was some allergic reaction to his cream or soap or food. So he stopped using soap to bath, he stopped rubbing cream and stopped eating several fatty food but his legs did not decrease but rather started to swell uncontrollably. He met with several medical doctors whom where shocked by his unexplained swollen legs because all the scientific medical report proofs nothing was wrong with him. Until he was taken to a renowned Babalawo in Benin City who consulted IFA, it was then IFA Oracle spoke through Obara-Sa that the young man had matched poison and his legs are cursed. IFA prescribed ebos and charms to solve his swollen legs problem and his legs stopped to swell and became normal after these powerful ebos (sacrifices) and strong charms where prepared for him. WHAT IS CURSE? A curse is any expressed wish that some form of misfortune will befall another person, people, a place, an object. A curse is a pronouncement made effective by a supernatural powers such as Gods, spirits, ancestors and occult natural force. Curse is also called a hex or a jinx. CURSED OBJECTS Cursed objects are everyday objects like clothes, shoes, bags, cars, phones, jewelries... etc that were cursed before given out as a gift to the victim on special days like birthdays, marriage day, burial day, anniversary... etc. CURSE IN GREEK Ancient Greek curse written on a lead sheet, 4th century BC, Kerameikos Archaeological Museum, Athens. CURSE IN HINDU In Hindu culture the Sage has the power to bless and curse. Examples include the curse placed by Rishi Bhrigu on king Nahusha and the one placed by Rishi Devala. Special names for specific types of curses can be found in various cultures. CURSE IN ATR In Odu IFA, there were several curses recorded in the Holy Odu Ifa and one of such prominent curses was that of Osanyin who was cursed by Esu and he lost one of his leg according to this curse. In modern times, ase charm is used to place curse on people. Cursed powder are laid in the paths of victims and activated when walked over. Ancient padlocks are another powerful tools used to padlock peoples destiny and progress in life. CURSE IN BIBLE The Bible God cursing the serpent, the earth and Cain (Genesis 3:14, 3:17, 4:11). Noah curses Canaan (Genesis 9:25) and Joshua curses the man who should build the city of Jericho (Joshua 6:26-27). In various books of the Old Testament there are long lists of curses against transgressors of the Law (Leviticus 26:14-25, Deuteronomy 27:15, etc.). So, too in the New Testament, Yeshua (Jesus) curses the barren fig-tree (Mark 11:14), pronounces his denunciation of woe against the incredulous cities (Matthew 11:21), against the rich, the worldling, the scribes and the Pharisees and foretells the awful malediction that is to come upon the damned (Matthew 25:41). The word curse is also applied to the victim of expiation for sin (Galatians 3:13), to sins temporal and eternal (Genesis 2:17; Matthew 25:41)." 27 SIGNS YOU ARE CURSED (HEX / JINX) [1] Sudden, Unusual And Constant Bad Luck.

sircrabo:Babalawos don't use humans for rituals. IFA forbids it! |
Timhim:Ok |
Timhim:Can you post your shrine pictures now? |
KinzyeWriter:Aboru Aboye You should consult IFA first to know your Ori. If Orunmila is one of your Orisas that came with you to earth, then IFA mysteries becomes very easy for you to understand. There are two ways of learning IFA. First is by apprenticeship which is the traditional way of learning IFA mysteries. It is free, you dont pay money for apprenticeship but you pay with your years of staying in the shrine and learning IFA. Years of IFA apprenticeship ranges from 5 years to 21 years before initiation. The second way of learning IFA is by paying for IFA training manuals and even at that you still need a renowned babalawo to put you through because IFA is 100% practical and not everything you can find in IFA books like your Ojugbona blessing you with his own ase after serving him well, your Ojugbona taking you to different astral realms, spiritual kingdoms, covens... for introduction, your Ojugbona teaching you how to prepare Esu water which you can never find in any book online or offline. ATR is very broad Thank you for reading, leave a comment Babalawos |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7ZA3UU6Uq8 Esu (Eshu, Elegba, Eleggua) is one of the oldest male Orisas. Ose Otura Odu IFA confirms Esu (Eshu, Elegba, Eleggua) as the God of Four Junction, Trickster, Possession, The Divine Messenger, Darkness, Confusion and the God of Ase "Ashe, Ache, Axe" (Power / Authority). After this powerful ebo was offered in my shrine to Esu, a black snake visited my shrine that same night. Note: The purpose of this Ebo (Sacrifice) can not be disclose publicly Thank you for watching, leave a comment Babalawos |
1Sharon:Yes I am. Go through my ATR posts on this forum |
1Sharon:It's not for non-initiate of Ifa. An Ifa Priest or initiate understands the Odu's and it divination meaning |
Timhim:Shrine is shrine |
Timhim:Post your Ogun shrine here let us see |
sorextee:You need to wash your eyes before you can predict future games accurately |
Timhim:I am talking to you |
delishpot:I have posted everything about ATR witchcraft on this thread. You can go through them and examine them. The choice is left for them to join or not to join. Am only disappointed till now none of them here have plucked the Iroko Tree leaf to complete the final Witchcraft Ritual and become a full first class witch and attend coven meetings |
Christane:IFA has the answer to your question. You should contact a babalawo to consult IFA for you |
Christane:You must be living in the stone age for you to say that and you should offer ebo to Ogun for insulting Him? Is Ogun not the God of technology and civilization? You have alot to study about ATR |
Christane:In real life or dream experience? |
