DON’T RUSH INTO ISESE — START WITH UNDERSTANDING IFÁ
P(
In this age of spiritual awakening and ancestral remembrance, many people are beginning to seek out Ifá and the rich spiritual heritage of the Yorùbá people. While this is a beautiful and powerful calling, it is important to issue a loving warning:
Do not rush into isese, if you do not truly understand what Ifá is.
Too many are eager to receive divination or find out their Òrìṣà without taking the time to understand the spiritual foundation behind it. Ifá is not a guessing game, nor is it a mere ritualistic system. It is a vast body of sacred knowledge—rooted in Enlightenment, Wisdom, Discipline, and Personal Destiny.
Start With Understanding, Not Impatience
It is easy to feel drawn to divination, especially when facing life’s crossroads. But before you seek an Ifá reading or consult a Bàbáláwo, you must first understand what you are stepping into. Never rush into anything—especially spiritual work—unless you have taken time to learn what is to be done, why it is to be done, and how it aligns with your Orí (inner consciousness and destiny).
Knowledge is protection. Understanding is power. Alignment is everything.
Self-Education is the Beginning of Real Initiation
That is why I have written a series of Ìṣẹ̀ṣe-based self-help books that empower you to learn and grow on your own, at your own pace, and in alignment with your Orí. These books are not simply filled with spiritual jargon—they are tools for clarity, personal power, and sacred practice.
If you are new to Ifá and you desire to truly understand its depth and light, then I invite you to start with my books:
- IFÁ: THE ENLIGHTENMENT Volume One
- IFÁ: THE ENLIGHTENMENT Volume Two
These volumes are more than books—they are portals of sacred awareness. They will teach you:
- The foundational cosmology and philosophy of Ifá.
- How Orí (your higher self) plays a central role in everything.
- The nature and purpose of Òrìṣà, ancestors, and destiny.
- How to begin connecting to your spiritual path with wisdom and without fear.
You don’t need to be initiated to learn these principles. You just need a heart ready to learn and a spirit ready to awaken.
Your Journey is Sacred—Treat It That Way
Everything about Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is sacred. Your destiny is sacred. Your search for meaning and connection is sacred. So take your time. Build your foundation. Let understanding lead the way.
When you do, your journey will not be filled with confusion or regret—it will be filled with clarity, strength, and true spiritual empowerment.
In Summary:
- Don’t rush into readings or spiritual work without understanding Ifá.
- Start with my self-help books written for those beginning their Ìṣẹ̀ṣe journey.
- Begin your path with IFÁ: THE ENLIGHTENMENT Vol. 1 & 2.
- Learn before you act. Align before you dive in.
- Let your Orí guide you step-by-step into a future of wisdom and spiritual strength.
Àṣẹ.
