Ìṣẹ̀ṣe courses and initiations in Houston
The house teaches because the tradition is held up by trained people. Teaching is slow, in order, and promises no shortcuts.
What is taught
- Ìṣẹ̀ṣe foundation: what Ifá is, who the Òrìṣà are, how the house is ordered
- Ẹwé: knowledge of the leaves and their use
- Prayers, oríkì and the protocol of the ilé
- Introduction to the Odù corpus
- Guidance for those already on the road
Initiations
Initiation is not sold and is not recommended as a routine. It is raised only when divination indicates it and when the person is ready for what it carries.
Before any ceremony the commitment, the time and the responsibility are explained plainly.
Frequently asked
- Do I need to be initiated to take the courses?
- No. Foundation courses are open to anyone willing to learn seriously.
- Are classes taught in Spanish?
- Yes, in Spanish and English. The liturgy stays in Yorùbá.
