  1. Return to Ifá, Return to Peace: The Story of Mápòwá

    Return to Ifá, Return to Peace: The Story of Mápòwá

    In this episode of Ifá Mythology: Keys to Ancient Healing, we journey into the Odù Ògbèyẹ̀kú — the sacred meeting of light and darkness, beginnings and endings. Through the story of Mápòwá, a child of Àgbọnnirègún who abandoned his calling in search of worldly success, we uncover what it means to lose and find ourselves again. Mápòwá’s path teaches that peace isn’t something we chase; it is what returns when we stop running from our own Orí. Ògbèyẹ̀kú reminds us that every “death” in life — the closing of a season, a loss, a silence — is really a doorway back to alignment and rebirth. This episode invites you to reflect on your own return: Where have you left your home within? And what simple act of faith, humility, or patience might bring you back to peace? ✨ “When I rest in Orí, my glow is unmistakable, my joy unshakable.” 📩 For spiritual guidance and mentorship, email ifamythology@gmail.com Follow on all platforms @ifamythology and subscribe wherever you listen — your support helps others discover the wisdom of these ancient stories.

  2. Èèwọ̀: Taboo, Boundary, and the Secret to Multiplication

    Èèwọ̀: Taboo, Boundary, and the Secret to Multiplication

    In this episode of Ifá Mythology: Keys to Ancient Healing, we step into the wisdom of Òfúnrètè through the story of Ẹ̀fúnyẹmi, the daughter of Ọ̀ṣun. From birth, she was given taboos—no hot water, no guinea corn, no liquor—boundaries meant to protect her destiny. But like many of us, she ignored them, and the consequences were heavy: infertility, miscarriage, and years of sorrow. Òfúnrètè teaches that boundaries are not punishment but protection, the womb of patience where blessings ripen in their own time. Through sacrifice, obedience, and the sweet intercession of Ọ̀ṣun, barrenness turned into abundance, and Ẹ̀fúnyẹmi became a mother of ten. In this deep dive, we explore: • The hidden meaning of èèwọ̀ (taboo) as sacred boundary. • Why impatience and indulgence miscarry blessings. • How patience, humility, and alignment restore sweetness and multiply destiny. • Spiritual and physical wisdom in taboos like avoiding alcohol and hot water. • The promise that what once failed can yet flourish when we honor Spirit’s timing. Ifá reminds us: your sacred space will defend itself, and your patience will bear fruit. ✨ Listen now to rediscover the beauty of waiting, the medicine of boundaries, and the secret to multiplication. ⸻ 📩 For personal healing and spiritual guidance, email us at ifamythology@gmail.com. 🌿 Like, share, and follow us everywhere @ifamythology.

    From Sickness to Song: The Renewal of Ọ̀kànràn Méjì

    In this episode of Ifá Mythology: Keys to Ancient Healing, Oyindamola and Titilope explore the fiery, restless energy of Ọ̀kànràn Méjì—an Odù that burns away the old to make space for renewal. Through the story of Ọlọ́fin, whose entire household fell sick until true diviners restored balance, we uncover how conflict, instability, and even illness can transform into music, laughter, and play. This Odù reminds us: • Don’t take life so seriously. • Every color, every grief, every passion has its rightful place. • Real healing comes when we stop bypassing pain and align with truth. • Renewal begins when joy returns to the mouth as song. We also bridge Ifá’s wisdom with Isaiah 54:17—“No weapon formed against me shall prosper”—to reveal a deeper promise: all that is truly yours will return to you, and nothing false can endure. 📩 For spiritual guidance and healing rooted in West African ancestral wisdom, email ifamythology@gmail.com. ✨ Like, share, and follow us everywhere @ifamythology. ✨ And follow us on your favorite podcast platform—it helps more souls find this sacred work.

    The Gatekeeper and the Graceful Stranger

    In this powerful episode of Ifá Mythology: Keys to Ancient Healing, Oyindamola and Titilope walk you through the sacred tension of Ìwòrì Àwọ̀dín—an Odù of spiritual labor, emotional reckoning, and breakthrough born through breakdown. We meet Oníbodè, the husband of the crowd—a symbolic gatekeeper still tethered to external approval, and a mysterious trader woman whose grace, patience, and authenticity transform everyone around her. Through their encounter, we ask: Who are you when the crowd goes home? Are you giving from truth—or from performance? From social media validation to sacrificial love that leaves us empty, this episode dives deep into how we can return to alignment with our higher self. We explore what it really means to "love yourself more than others"—and how the blessings we seek will only come when we stop performing and start embodying our truth. 🌿 Spiritual themes explored: Emotional transformation through restriction Divine timing and the feminine mystery of waiting Sacred identity beyond validation Loving yourself in a world that calls it selfish 🕯️ Closing guidance & prayer included. 📩 We’d love to hear from you.

    The Twins, the King, and the Wholeness We Seek

    Welcome back to Ifá Mythology: Keys to Ancient Healing with your hosts, Oyindamola and Titilope. Today, we enter the mystery of Ìká Méjì, a sacred Odù that asks us to stop choosing one side of the story and instead embrace the whole. Through the poetic tale of Ọlọ́fin, a king who sought to birth destiny through sacrifice, we explore how the masculine and feminine, the seen and unseen, the physical and spiritual, are not opposites but twins—meant to be held together. You’ll hear the haunting prophecy of two babaláwos, the birth of divine twins, and the ancient wisdom that ended the practice of discarding what we do not understand. Because what we discard on the outside often mirrors what we deny within. ✨ In this episode: Why twins = wholeness in Yoruba cosmology The symbolic meaning of prophecy, sacrifice, and divine timing How Ifá teaches us to integrate all parts of the Self—especially the ones we’ve been taught to throw away A powerful Oríkì Ìbejì (praise poetry of the twins), graciously shared by Olóòtú Agbà Lumee (@lumee_m) Deep parallels to Jungian shadow work, Christian scripture, and the path of individuation 🎧 Whether you’re new to Ifá or returning home to a truth you’ve always known, this story will speak to your spirit. — 📲 Connect with Us Instagram & Twitter: @ifamythology Email: info@rangeptwellness.com 🔮 Follow our sacred collaborator: Olóòtú Agbà Lumee on Instagram & TikTok — @lumee_m His voice awakens the spirit of Oríkì and his work reminds us to honor our roots. 🌱 Don’t forget to rate, review, and share this episode with someone who needs to reclaim the parts of themselves they’ve left behind.

  7. You Cannot Lift the Tree Alone

    You Cannot Lift the Tree Alone

    Welcome to Ifá Mythology: Keys to Ancient Healing. In this episode, we explore the sacred Odù Ogbè-Alárá, a story that reminds us of the power of community, ritual, and spiritual alignment. As I reflect on my own journey toward 35, I’m drawn to the image of a great tree blocking the road—a symbol of the emotional, ancestral, or spiritual burdens that none of us can move alone. Through the poetic tale of four birds sent from heaven—Igún, Àkàlà, Tẹ̀ǹtẹrẹ́, and Ẹlẹ́gíírí—we uncover how generosity, collaboration, and spiritual communion restore flow and open the way forward. Together, we’ll reflect on: • Why sharing your gifts multiplies them • The role of ritual as spiritual technology • The symbolism of blocked paths and collective healing • How to gather your Ẹgbẹ́—your spirit team, inner archetypes, and community of support This is more than a folktale. It’s a call to awaken your soul’s memory, listen to your inner guidance, and stop trying to carry it all alone. ✨ The journey is spiritual. But it’s not solitary. 🔑 Let’s move the tree—together. –– Connect with us: Got a story to share or reflections on this episode?

    The Vow and the Veil: Remembering Your Soul Contract in Ìwòrí Méjì

    Welcome back to Ifá Mythology: Keys to Ancient Healing. In this episode, we walk into the sacred and shadowy grove of Ìwòrí Méjì—the odù of inner vision, unrest, and sacred remembering. Through the haunting story of Akínyọdé, a spirit who vowed to return to heaven after completing his earthly mission, we explore what it means to forget our purpose and how restlessness is often a call from the soul. This odù asks: What did you promise before you arrived? What part of you is calling you back to alignment? We journey through: • The spiritual significance of vows and soul contracts • The symbolism of ẹgbẹ́ (celestial peers) as inner unrest or forgotten purpose • Òrúnmìlà as the moulder of destinies and the divine guide for emèrè • Sacrifice as surrender, not suffering • What it means to choose earth—and finally settle into your calling This story invites you to pause, reflect, and remember. Not through force, but through silence, sacrifice, and alignment. 🎧 Listen now and allow the wisdom of Ìwòrí Méjì to speak to the places in you that have waited to be seen. 💬 We’d love to hear from you Contact us on Instagram: @ifamythology Email: info@rangeptwellness.com
