Join us as we explore the rich and transformative spiritual traditions of Ifa and Osha, systems deeply rooted in Yoruba cosmology and thriving across the African diaspora. This episode delves into the sacred texts of Odu Ifa, the profound guidance of the Orishas, and the empowering practices of ancestral veneration. We’ll discuss how these traditions have evolved in the diaspora, balancing adaptation with authenticity, and addressing controversial topics like anti-Babalawo sentiments, the rise of the Isese movement, and the commercialization of rituals.

Discover how Ifa and Osha offer more than spiritual practices—they are holistic ways of life with the power to align time, space, and destiny. But with great power comes great responsibility, as practitioners must live with humility, discipline, and good character to harness the full potential of these faiths.

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner, someone curious about African spirituality, or interested in the intersection of tradition and modernity, this episode provides an engaging and insightful journey into one of the world’s most resilient and adaptive spiritual systems.

Tune in to learn how these profound traditions continue to guide, inspire, and transform lives in today’s world.
