thanks again for sharing !!! I'm veeeery new to ATR's and I would like to know what this washing is about, if you don't mind !

[bkarade]

This ritual is the an offering to Orunmila the Prophet, who is also known as Ifa. The words mena "Washing Ifa." As you can see in the video herbs are prepared and prayers are said and then the Ikin-Ifa (the most sacred object in all of Ifa) is washed. There is more to it but that is all that I can share for now. Aboru, Aboye.

Why do our people continue to support and allow Europeans into indigioness traditions ?

May the Blessings of Olorun, The Ancestors, and all of the Orisha continue to rain upon the Karade Family...Thank you BaBa for your strength and dedication to Ifa...We will continue to Love and support your commitment to the Ifa Religion, Ashe
