    Opa Oosun | In Lucumi (Santeria) & Isese | The Difference.

    Òpá Òòṣùn | In Lucumí (Santería) & Ìṣẹ̀ṣe | The Difference Podcast: The Light of Ifá with Prof. Olusegun Daramola In this insightful episode of The Light of Ifá: Prof. Olusegun Daramola dives deep into the sacred symbol of Òpá Òòṣùn—the spiritual staff of Òṣùn—as it is understood and revered within both the Lucumí (Santería) tradition and the Yorùbá Ìṣẹ̀ṣe tradition. What is the Òpá Òòṣùn truly meant to represent? How do these two lineages interpret its use, power, and symbolism differently? Are we losing essence through adaptation, or are we witnessing evolution? With clarity and cultural sensitivity, Prof. Daramola compares the traditional West African context of Òpá Òòṣùn with its transformation in the diaspora—highlighting where they align, where they diverge, and why it matters for practitioners today. This episode is essential for students, practitioners, and spiritual seekers who want to reconnect with the root and restore understanding. Through Ifá-centered wisdom, history, and experience, you’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for the spiritual technology of Òṣùn and the sacred role her staff plays in both realms. Tune in now and join this important conversation bridging lineage, culture, and consciousness.

    Casting Ikin Ifa Is Therapeutic

    Casting Ìkìn Ifá – A Sacred Therapy for the Body, Soul & Spirit In this deeply personal and spiritually charged episode of The Light of Ifá Podcast, Prof. Olúṣẹ́gun Daramola takes you inside the sacred process of casting Ifá using Ìkìn (sacred palm nuts) — not just as a means of divination, but as healing, therapy, and spiritual alignment. > "Each time I cast Ifá — for myself, for my clients, or my lineage — something sacred happens. It’s not just about receiving messages… It’s about releasing burdens, sweating out spiritual toxins, and realigning with divine truth." Discover: * Why casting Ìkìn Ifá is a powerful form of energetic and emotional detox * How it connects the Orí back to the voice of Olódùmarè * What truly happens when a Babaláwo enters the sacred space of Ifá revelation * The monthly practice of casting for collective healing and ancestral connection This is not just a ritual — it is a return to clarity, a mirror for your soul, and a journey toward your highest destiny. Let the sacred sweat of Ifá wash away what no longer serves you. Tune in, realign, and receive the healing guidance meant for you this season.

    "The Power of a Pure Heart: Lessons from Ifá and the Casting of Obi"

    Welcome to another enlightening episode of the Light of Ifá Podcast. Today, we delve into the profound wisdom embedded in our sacred traditions, focusing on the power of a pure heart as illustrated through the casting of Obi. In the realm of Ifá, the casting of Obi is a sacred act that reflects the heart's purity and intentions. It is said: "Slanders break and cast Obi, It comes up negative. Traitors break and cast Obi, It comes out negative. It was only one with pure hearts that cast Obi and it comes out positive. Cast Ifá for Ojodu, Initiate of Arira in Ife. Here comes Ojodu, Initiate of Ife. We give thanks for the positivity of the Obi." This powerful verse teaches us that slanderers and traitors, those whose hearts are tainted by negativity, will see their efforts reflected negatively when they cast Obi. However, those with pure hearts, like Ojodu, will see positivity and blessings in their endeavors.
