(Ìtẹ̀fá / Ìdòsù Òrìṣà)
Ìtẹ̀fá is the sacred initiation into Ifá, marking a deep commitment to the wisdom of Òrúnmìlà, the deity of knowledge, destiny, and divine guidance. This ceremony is performed by Babaláwos (priests of Ifá) and involves divination, ritual cleansing, offerings, and the revelation of the initiate’s personal Odu Ifá, which serves as a spiritual roadmap for their life.
Ìdòsù Òrìṣà refers to a full initiation and consecration into the mysteries of an Òrìṣà in the Yoruba spiritual tradition. It is a deep spiritual commitment where an individual is ritually dedicated to serving a specific Òrìṣà as their guardian deity.
