If you have a problem, consult your destiny. It is not a matter that concerns the ancestors, nor the Orisa. It is your destiny that matters most. Ori alone is worthy of praise.

Two enemies ram one person
Cast divination for Owu
Also for Emu (clamp) holding Irin (iron)
Owu said Ogun was his only friend
Emu was close friends with Irin until he followed Irin into the fire
In short time, Ogun will overcome them all
The hoe will perish
The cutlass will go to heaven
Emu who tells lies
Will be destroyed with them all
The one in support of Ogun will be saved

- Holy Odu OgundaOtura

If you can count just one person as your friend, consider yourself fortunate. May we remain loyal to those who truly love us. May we count on Ogun as a reliable supporter. Ase!

According to Rowland Abiodun, the IROKE is a symbolic representation of the intersection of ORI and IFA. “On the Iroke, Ori-Inu is symbolized by the topmost or pointed segment whose conical shape brings to mind the Ibori. It sits on top of the human head in the middle segment as if Ori-Inu is asserting power and supremacy over Ori-ode. This arrangement brings out, in clear view, the hierarchy in Ori as well as the distinction. between Ori-Inu, whose symbol is an abstract, geometricized cone, and head for its crown.

Ori-inu sits firmly on top of ori-ode. On the iroke, there would appear to be a verbal correlative in ori’s oriki. This is Ayanmo, meaning, "that which is affixed to one", one of the praise names of Ori. Ayanmo hints at the belief that ori, once chosen in heaven, wa becomes completely a part of the individual that chose it. ori is served and revered by those over whom it reigns.*

Strength without wisdom is the greatest weakness of all. It is wise to know your limitations. Because your limitations are indicators of your weaknesses, it is wise to make yourself acutely aware of them.

Orunmila is renown for being very feeble. In fact, it is said that he has no bones at all! There are countless stories of Ifa that detail the extent to which Orunmila must depend upon the other orisa, who are stronger than he.

And so it is, Orunmila will advise people to lead with their vulnerabilities. The lesson is very simple; sometimes you have to let people help you! Everyone is where they are, in part, because somebody else did for you what you could not do for yourself.

I am thankful for the wisdom of Orunmila. I pray that he will always guide me along the path of true greatness. Àse!

It is impossible to separate Orisa Lifestyle from Yoruba civilization and culture. The people, the land and the tradition are all infused into a single system that gives meaning to every dimension of life. All Yoruba people recognize Oduduwa as the progenitor of the race. Every Yoruba king must trace his lineage back to Oduduwa in order to be considered authentic. As such, Oduduwa is universally accepted and revered as the father of the nation, which is substantiated by the sacred text of Ifá:

Ladder supports your body with the ground
It props-up your frame with the land
A wasp stings with its butt
Cast divination for Oduduwa Oluwaami Aterigbeji
Who was asked to offer 22,000 cowries
So that he may own the children in the world
Oduduwa heard about the offering and performed it
The world exclaimed: well done
The children of Oduduwa
- Holy Odu OfunOdi

May Oduduwa guide the Yoruba along the path of unification. Àse! May the spirit of Oduduwa compel all Yorubas to devote their natural gifts and talents to the restoration of the traditional economy and indigenous knowledge systems. Àse. May Ifá support our efforts to deliver upon the Ancestral Promise. Àse!

I am looking for leaders who are ready to improve the world through positive influence. If that is you, find out how Obafemi Origunwa and the Orisa Lifestyle Academy can help you take your practice and your life to the next level.
