Alaafia! Great informative video. I was speaking with my godparent about the difference between traditional IFA and AfroCuban tradition. Even though there is different aspects it's inspiring to me that IFA survived the Slave trade. And congratulations on your subscriber growth. ADUPE! Baba IFA.
Congratulations! It’s satisfying to know that the material I’ve released through this medium is gratifying my peers and new initiates alike! My regards to your Oluwo as well as you my friend, Iboru!
Ashé @Joseph Baba ifa Thanks for all the great content ! Question? What happens if your Mano de Orula breaks? Do you have to got through another ceremonia or can a Babaloa just create a new one
If your “Mano De Orula” or “Ide” breaks the best thing to do is to get in contact with your elders to go about replacing it. Everyone has a different way of doing this, but it definitely wouldn’t involve you going through the ceremony again. Hand of Ifa can only be done once in a lifetime. So happy you like the content!

Ekaroo baba joseph , I recieve my hand of Orula Dec 2022. I got my eshu , ogun , ochossi, ozun and Orula .... I got my IDA an Orula Elekes .... I thought I was going to get elwkes for the warriors as well but did not ... also I had to learn how to tend to my elegua and warriors some what by my self ..... I want to know if its possible to throw cowrie shell to communicate properly with my eshu
I am new to this religion and I got Mano de orula a year ago I was so upset with a lady that brought me into the religion she basically sabotaged anything she could and The Babalowo’s that where present where looking at me like I didn’t pay her for taking me to them it was crazy and now it’s weird because I left that house and now I don’t know how to go about things and she kept my note book with all my information that was written for me to have after the ceremony was finished!
Yes, and more! I would say it goes beyond this life into the next! If you were initiated into Ifa in this life it’s because you needed it to spiritually elevate! If you are identified as someone who has to return to this plane of existence in the next life more than likely you will have to get initiated again to continue elevating until you don’t have to return!
Yes, thank you Joseph. Can you make a video speaking about how to find God parents. Is the an official association or database where you can find spiritual teachers in the states?
so hand in ifa requires initiation? This baba did mine over facetime video, same for Osun but i was sent my brass bracelets and my pots are still with him in nigeria. I have never been to nigeria to be initiated
Late to the video but could you explain that in addition to receiving through IFA you can get your warriors through a Santera or Santero. In addition, any limitations in doing so. Many people are confused between Santeria and IFA. Thank you.
It really depends on who you ask. Some people are going to tell you unless it was done traditionally it’s illegitimate, and if that’s the case I’m not even a Babalawo lol. The best advice I can give you is to look into both and see which one calls your attention more. At that point it comes down to finding knowledgeable, ethical, good practitioners who can guide you. Blessings my friend, be sure to Subscribe!
I received my Isefa years ago, but when I moved to Michigan years later, I was told by a Babalowo to retake it because my godfather passed away. I’m in North Carolina, now, but beforehand, I began studying Christianity and lost my way. And now I’m trying to get BACK into things properly, Baba. Was I fooled by that Babalowo when he told me to retake my Isefa? Or am I alright?
I’m so excited that I will be receiving hand of IFA next week. I finally understand my purpose in this life. May I walk in compassion and in love to bring about change to this world and in so doing bring honor to my deities and ancestors. Peace and blessings to everyone.🌸🌺🪷 Thank you so much for this video. This is a wealth of knowledge.

and also what happens if you miss your ebo? i have recently been sending my babalawo over 200+ a week and he expects me too have it even when i dont now and i sent 200 for my hand of ifa and now he wants 200 for a ebo that i dont have yet
I'm preparing to receive the hand of orunmila through a babalawo in Nigeria. Since I'm not there and not able to travel there, is there anything specific that I should do to prepare at my house?
@@JosephBabaIfa i came across an article of a babalowe from nigeria saying they have been presenting ifa for many years long distance and this is the traditional ifa.. To hear you say it cannot is kind of disappointing because that is how i am receiving mines my padrino is in georgia i am in nj. Now i am kind of worried. My ifa was just born yesterday..
I was Initiated about five years ago. I was never explained in detail the process . Or given the proper knowledge to fully understand ,appreciate and respectfully work with my what I was given . Your vids are great have help but I have so many questions. How would I find a good Babalawo/ elder to guide me ?
It is a taxing process to find lifelong elders! The best option I can recommend is us here at Botanica Candles & More! Here is our number so you can setup an appt. to be able to discuss your situation and future! Blessings and be sure to Subscribe! 4074402086
At this juncture in Ifa there are households willing to accommodate the desires of all people, it is simply a matter of finding the spiritual house that would be able to do so. Thank you for watching!

Ashe! Great topic to dialogue about with our elders! It is a testament to the strength of our ancestors! Blessings!
Thank you. Well said and broken down based on both practices.
I am getting ready to receive hand of IFA 🧿🧿🧿
This Friday I receive mine🙏💚💛 daughter of oshun
I received my warriors, I have three. I am hoping in a years time I’ll go to Nigeria and crown my head with my orisha
Did you go!?
Thank you, you're awesome. So many won't discuss this.
Thank you! We try to discuss as much as we ethically can. This way people know what they’re getting into, thus avoiding initiation remorse!
Although I received things out of order due to my own fault, I will be receiving Hand of IFA in December, my Babalawo has a lot of respect for you.
Congratulations! It’s satisfying to know that the material I’ve released through this medium is gratifying my peers and new initiates alike! My regards to your Oluwo as well as you my friend, Iboru!
Hey!!! Congrats and this is going to be a great month for you ❤️
Thank you Baba for this video.... I appreciate you taking the time to explain this... Blessings to you
Anytime, Thanks for watching! Be sure to Subscribe if you haven’t! Blessings!
Thank you for your explanations. Truly appreciate your knowledge
I'm getting ready to receive the hand of ifa and I will be receiving it the traditional way not afro Cuban I am very excited..
Congratulations, beautiful ceremony, enjoy it, once in a lifetime experience!
What’s the difference between traditional and Afro Cuban?
Love your teachings,many thanks.
Ase ooo
I got my reading today and waiting on my ilekes my Orisha is Shango I’m trying to learn more and make sure everything is no scam
Also I have to do my ebo as well
When getting a traditional hand of Ifa will there be a name ceremony for the initiate?
Usually yes, depends on lineage

Only initiated olorisha can perform cowrie divination

Also this is a life long commitment to caring for these orishas, correct?
Yes, and more! I would say it goes beyond this life into the next! If you were initiated into Ifa in this life it’s because you needed it to spiritually elevate!

Joseph what do you think of anglo caucasians receiving initiations?
so hand in ifa requires initiation? This baba did mine over facetime video, same for Osun but i was sent my brass bracelets and my pots are still with him in nigeria. I have never been to nigeria to be initiated
The odu/sign Ogbe Iyonu says it must be in person
Same here . This is good information
Late to the video but could you explain that in addition to receiving through IFA you can get your warriors through a Santera or Santero. In addition, any limitations in doing so. Many people are confused between Santeria and IFA. Thank you.
Warriors can be received from an olorisha , but one received through Ifa it wouldn’t be necessary
Is it required to have a ceremony in the Isese tradition?
It really depends on who you ask. Some people are going to tell you unless it was done traditionally it’s illegitimate, and if that’s the case I’m not even a Babalawo lol.

What is the actual cost to receive the Mano of Orula?
Call 4074402086 to schedule a consultation with Joseph Baba Ifa to discuss initiation costs, Thank you for watching!
Baba Joe can you receive the wrong orisha if giving by less experienced babalows?
Anything’s possible
I received my Isefa years ago, but when I moved to Michigan years later, I was told by a Babalowo to retake it because my godfather passed away. I’m in North Carolina, now, but beforehand, I began studying Christianity and lost my way. And now I’m trying to get BACK into things properly, Baba. Was I fooled by that Babalowo when he told me to retake my Isefa? Or am I alright?
Isefa is only done once in a lifetime!
@@JosephBabaIfa Alafia. Then I am safe!

Aboru Aboye Abosise Baba
Ogbo ato
In the Afro Cuan tradition, are some Osuns places on the floor next to the warriors are should this Orisha be always placed up high ?
A video responding to your question was posted! Thanks for watching!
Hi Joseph, do you have an email I can get in touch with you for some Ifa questions? Thank you!

About to receive hand of Ifa through Isese. Thru divination earlier I was given my orisa parents, can that change?
Referring back to the people providing it to you is going to yield the best response, Thanks for watching
So why do some people just call it Santeria and not ifa as where you still say ifa is there a difference between Santeria and Lukumi
Lukumi & Issesse are the same right just Lukumi is Santeria and issesse is Nigerian but santos wouldn’t santos Santeria be the same as Lukumi?
greetings peace and blessings can i please schedule a consultation? i have questions
and also what happens if you miss your ebo? i have recently been sending my babalawo over 200+ a week and he expects me too have it even when i dont now and i sent 200 for my hand of ifa and now he wants 200 for a ebo that i dont have yet

Are orumilla and Egungun Orisas I received my hand of IFA ?
Calico ROK H.M.G Yes they are. Congratulations!
I’m just trying to make sure it’s right that’s why I asked. Because I’m hearing different
Joseph Baba Ifa some else are saying Orumilla is not a Orisa but the word of olodumare . And Egungun is a only ancestors?
Thanks
I'm preparing to receive the hand of orunmila through a babalawo in Nigeria. Since I'm not there and not able to travel there, is there anything specific that I should do to prepare at my house?
The Hand of Ifa cannot be done at a distance.
@@has892 The implements of divination must touch the forehead of the person to reveal their destiny
@@JosephBabaIfa i came across an article of a babalowe from nigeria saying they have been presenting ifa for many years long distance and this is the traditional ifa..

I thought you could from a distance also . This is good to know . I was told that I could . Wow I’m glad I came across this conversation
But then again he was able to remove something off of me via video so it’s possible
This happened in California … there are a lot of padrinos just trying to make money from the ahijados
Where are u from ?
Orlando, Fl
Ase
Peace baba is the price still the same
When you say do Ifa, do you mean becoming a babalawo?
Usually
@@JosephBabaIfa Interesting. What about the women?
Can you receive awo faka thru the mail without being present for ceremony in ifa tradition?
The odu Ogbe Yonu says the person must be present.
