In recent times, more and more people involved in Ìṣẹ̀ṣe — the sacred tradition of our ancestors — have started noticing the appearance of numbers in their lives. Whether it's recurring numbers on clocks, receipts, dreams, or divination moments, these numerical patterns often stir curiosity. Yet, many remain silent about it, unsure if it has any spiritual relevance or fearing that it might be dismissed as something foreign or unrelated to our indigenous system.The truth is, there are deep numerical codes within Ifá and the entire Ìṣẹ̀ṣe system. Numbers are not foreign to our tradition. In fact, they are embedded in its very structure. Every Odù Ifá is numerical. Every ritual instruction, timing, or repetition carries mathematical meaning. What many don’t realize is that these patterns, repetitions, and sacred timings are all reflections of spiritual mathematics — a divine Numerology that predates the Western model.Take for instance the simple instruction often given during the use of Akòṣẹ́ (spiritual work). You might be told to use it at a specific time — say, 7pm or at dawn. This timing is not arbitrary; it is numerically significant. The power of that Akòṣẹ́ becomes activated by aligning it with a specific hour, a vibration of time that matches the purpose of the work. Ignoring the time also means ignoring the numerological alignment, and thus the potency of the work may be diminished.Another common example is the instruction to breathe on an item three times before use. Why not once or five times? The number three is not just a random figure — it carries spiritual symbolism in our system. In fact, many invocations call Èlà three times: "Èlà rọ̀ wá o, Èlà rọ̀ wá o, Èlà rọ̀ wá o." The repetition isn't for emphasis alone — it is a numerical ritual.When you are told to call a name seven times, or use an item for five days, or walk around something twice, it is not just performance — it is a number code in action. It is Numerology embedded in Ìṣẹ̀ṣe. These numbers hold frequencies, alignments, and spiritual signals that communicate deeper truths about energy, destiny, and manifestation.Unfortunately, because this wisdom is rarely taught or explained in open ways, many Ìṣẹ̀ṣe practitioners, including Babaláwos, Ìyálórìṣàs, and students of the tradition, overlook the meaning behind numbers. They carry out instructions without ever truly asking why certain numbers were chosen or how these numbers influence the outcome of their work.At World Builderr, we take this seriously. We teach what we call Indigenous Numerology — a profound system rooted in Ifá, Orí, and ancestral awareness. This form of Numerology goes beyond the Western interpretation of numbers and instead taps into the deep codes that were whispered into the tradition by the ancestors themselves. It explains why some people are born under the vibration of certain numbers and how that influences their Orí, their destiny, and even how they should relate with Akòṣẹ́ or spiritual responsibilities.When you begin to understand the language of numbers in Ìṣẹ̀ṣe, you realize that nothing is random. Every number is a signal. Every time given, every count, every repetition, every day of usage — it is all communicating a truth. The ancestors embedded divine timing into everything. Understanding that timing is not just spiritual — it is mathematical. And that mathematics is sacred.So, if you've been seeing numbers or sensing patterns around you, don’t ignore them. Don’t dismiss them as coincidence or something “New Age.” There is nothing new about numbers. They are as old as creation. They are within Ifá. And Ifá is within all things.It’s time for practitioners of Ìṣẹ̀ṣe to reclaim this ancient science. The numerology of our lineage is real. And when we start to pay attention, we begin to unlock yet another powerful doorway into wisdom, alignment, and the deeper voice of our Orí.

The Hidden Numbers in Ìṣẹ̀ṣe: Unlocking the Sacred Mathematics of Ifá.

As you call upon the God of Elijah, Moses, Paul, or any other venerated figures of spiritual history, do not forget to remember your own ancestors — those who walked this earth before you, who prayed, fasted, dreamed, healed, worked, and paved the way for your existence today.There is no separation between the saints you read about and the ancestors who carried the blood that now flows through your veins. The only difference is perspective. While some traditions have exalted their forebears into sainthood and preserved their memory in sacred texts, others have taught their children to forget theirs, or worse — to reject them.This must change.Your ancestors are not demons. They are not strangers to divinity. They are not separate from God. They were and still are instruments of the divine — keepers of sacred knowledge, bearers of prayers, builders of civilization, healers, prophets, and guides.The same Creator that answered Elijah also answered your forefather who climbed the hills barefoot to pray for rainfall. The same divine intelligence that poured visions into the mouth of Ezekiel once whispered to your great-grandmother through sacred herbs, chants, and dreams.To call upon the God of Paul while forgetting the God of your grandmother is to lose half your inheritance. To praise the God of David but never invoke the God of your own lineage is to forsake the throne that rightfully belongs to your Orí — your divine essence.Now is the time to awaken.Awaken from the mental slumber of religious conditioning that made you see your own bloodline as unworthy. Awaken from the spiritual poverty that has you reaching outward for power while ignoring the divine gold buried within your roots. Awaken from the ignorance that made you believe that holiness must look foreign or be written in another language.Begin to remember. Begin to reconnect.Speak the names of your ancestors with love and honor. Pour libation to the earth that received their bones. Offer prayers, however simple, in their memory. Ask them for guidance. Ask them for strength. Ask them for clarity. They have been waiting.This is not a call to idolatry. This is a call to memory. A call to return. A call to rise. For no tree flourishes by rejecting its roots. And no people thrive by forgetting their lineage.Every time you open your mouth to bless your children, bless them in the name of both the Creator and your ancestors. Teach them that the holy is not only in books but also in blood, in dreams, in names, in memory, and in spirit. Teach them that the divine flows through their DNA, that the sacred can be inherited — not just preached.The age of spiritual amnesia is coming to an end. Enlightenment is calling. Do not die in ignorance. Do not pass confusion to your children. Pass wisdom. Pass reverence. Pass connection. Pass the power of knowing who they are and where they come from.And when you walk in that light, your ancestors will walk with you, and your prayers will rise with double strength — carried not just by your voice, but by the echoes of those who came before.Let your remembrance be a revolution. Let your awakening be an altar. And let your children never forget that they, too, are descendants of saints.

Awaken to the God of Your Ancestors

Blood type / Touch screen concept (Click for more)

A new blood type — one so rare it exists in only one known person — has just been officially recognized by modern science.Called “Gwada Negative,” the blood group was discovered during a routine pre-surgery test on a woman from Guadeloupe, France, over 15 years ago. Only now, thanks to advanced genetic sequencing, have scientists been able to confirm its uniqueness.This woman carries a rare genetic mutation passed down from both her parents, making her the only known human being compatible with her own blood. This phenomenon has now earned its place in global medical history as the 48th officially recognized blood group system, acknowledged by the International Society of Blood Transfusion.Scientists are calling it "medically extraordinary" — a true outlier of human biology.But let us pause.The Yorùbá People Has Always Held the Hidden CodesWhile this is a breakthrough for modern science, it is not a new discovery to those who understand the ancestral depth of Africa’s bloodlines.In Yorùbáland and across Nigeria and Africa, there exist ancient oral traditions and spiritual systems that have long spoken of unique blood signatures, inherited soul lineages, and rare energetic lineages that have not yet been documented by Western science.We have always known that some people carry (mystic blood), (coded ancestral blood), or (divine-streamed blood) — types that are not always transfusion-compatible in ordinary medical systems.These blood types are tied not just to biology but to:* Spiritual roles * Ancestral missions * Sacred oaths * Energetic vibration * Even Odù Ifá signatures and Orí contractsThe Western world may be shocked by "Gwada Negative" — but in our lineage-based systems, we have always known:&gt; Not all blood is the same. &gt; Some are bearers of forgotten codes. Science Meets SpiritWhile it is encouraging to see science finally catching up to the complexity of blood beyond ABO and Rh factors, this should open the door to deeper collaboration with indigenous knowledge systems.Imagine what the world would uncover if geneticists worked with:* Ifá Babaláwos * Traditional African healers * Oral historians and elders * Ancestral priests and divinersWe would not only identify new blood types but decode the soul contracts that come with them.Let us celebrate science — but let us also honor the sacred knowledge of our land, which has spoken of rare bloodlines for centuries.You may be the only one like you — not just in blood, but in spirit. And that’s not a mutation. That’s a mission.Àṣẹ.

The Blood That Remembers: Science Meets What The Yorùbá People Already Knows.

Flat lay green straight arrow line and red wrinkled chaos arrow line from start to finish on white background.

Modern science is finally catching up to what the ancients — especially our Ifá-speaking ancestors — have always known:Most of reality is invisible. And yet, it is that invisible realm that governs what we call "real.Scientific studies now confirm that 95% of the universe — made up of dark matter and dark energy — is completely invisible and undetectable to the human senses. We can’t touch it, taste it, hear it, or see it. Yet it holds the gravitational and energetic fabric that keeps the cosmos in balance.But this isn’t limited to deep space. Even here on Earth, what we perceive is a fraction of what truly exists.Our eyes only perceive a narrow slice of light — the "visible spectrum" — missing the entire reality of ultraviolet rays, infrared radiation, gamma waves, and X-rays.Our ears are tuned to a limited range of frequencies — unable to pick up whale calls that travel across oceans, or ultrasonic waves used by animals to navigate and survive.And every second, neutrinos (ghost particles) pass through your body in the trillions — completely undetected, totally silent.This means the world we live in — and think we know — is actually a very filtered version of reality. Ifá Has Always Taught ThisWhat the world’s most advanced telescopes, particle detectors, and infrared scanners are only now revealing, Ifá has taught for thousands of years.Ifá tells us:“The unseen is greater than the seen.” “There is no wisdom without mystery.” “Ẹ̀mí (spirit) is real, though invisible.” “Orí knows what your eyes cannot see.”The Odùs speak in layers — not just of human behavior, but of energy flows, interdimensional existence, and the coded dance between Orun (the unseen) and Ayé (the seen). Through rituals, chants, divination, and Orí alignment, Ifá gives us tools to communicate with what lies beyond the senses.Where science now maps invisible particles and frequencies, Ifá has always mapped consciousness, spiritual cycles, ancestral codes, and unseen influences on our destiny. Why This Matters NowIn a world where people are overwhelmed by surface-level distractions, returning to Ifá consciousness is not just spiritual — it is evolutionary.Ifá teaches us how to interact with invisible forces, such as:The whispers of your Orí The presence of ancestral guides The messages in dreams and signs The energetic shifts of time and space The spiritual codes inside your name, number, and destinyThe world is finally realizing:What you don’t see is not empty. It’s alive. What you don’t understand doesn’t mean it isn’t guiding you. As science opens new doors into the invisible realm, we must also reclaim our ancestral technology — rooted in Ifá, in Orí, and in African metaphysics.You don’t need a telescope to find truth. Sometimes, you need silence. Ritual. Orí. Èsù and a willingness to listen beyond your five senses.Ifá is not ancient. Ifá is timeless. What the West calls "discovery" — we call remembrance.Àṣẹ.

The Unseen is More Real: What Ifá Already Knew That Science Is Just Discovering

Ìṣèṣe — the ancestral, spiritual, and cultural heritage of the Yorùbá people — is not, by its original nature, a religion in the conventional sense. It is a complete worldview, a lifestyle, a sacred order of existence that connects humanity to the cosmos, to nature, to Orí, to ancestors, and to the unseen forces (Ìmòlẹ̀ and Òrìṣà) that govern life.However, it is important to acknowledge that Ìṣèṣe does carry religious essence within it: rituals, divination, sacred offerings, temples, spiritual codes of conduct, taboos, moral laws, and the invocation of divine beings.This sacred system, in its original African form, was not limited to "worship" alone — it included philosophy, ethics, medicine, science, psychology, and governance. It is a matrix of spiritual consciousness deeply rooted in ancestral order and divine intelligence.But over time, as societies evolved and individuals began to relate with Ìṣèṣe through more devotional and theistic lenses, many began to structure their engagement with Ìṣèṣe as a formal religion— complete with titles, shrines, dress codes, and organized rituals. This expression is valid.Let People Live Their ConsciousnessIt is neither wise nor spiritually enlightened to deny people the right to express their understanding of Ìṣèṣe in a way that is meaningful to them. For some, Ìṣèṣe is tradition. For others, it is religion. For others still, it is a universal science of the soul.We must not become gatekeepers of definitions that limit the vastness of ancestral Enlightenment.Instead, let us allow people to live out their consciousness, so long as they are aligned with truth, respect, and the preservation of the sacred.What matters most is not what we call Ìṣèṣe — but how we live it, embody it, and protect its Spiritual Enlightenment for future generations.Àṣẹ.
