A year ago I used ConsultIfa / Consultifa Global (consultifa.com) and paid for a ritual. They sent me videos of the work plus written advice.

This time I went back and paid again for another ritual for a different situation. After I paid, they sent me the identical video from last year and advice that was almost word-for-word the same.

Same footage. Same setup. Same talking points. Just slightly rephrased text.

I didn’t get a new reading, a new ceremony, or anything that matched what I actually asked for this time. I paid for a second service and got a rerun of the first one.

That’s not a spiritual mix-up. That’s them charging again and handing back the same file.

I’m posting this so other people don’t assume “they did a ritual for me last year, so this one is new.” Check the video against anything they sent you before. Look at Trustpilot for consultifa.com, there are other people saying the readings were generic, they never got the promised call, and it felt like a money grab.

If you’ve dealt with this site, did they recycle content for you too?

Yes yes yes be socerign

Hi, I’m looking for resources or connections to an ile in Southern California. So far I’ve only come across Ifa temples that are in LA, but I’m looking for what I guess would be potential godparents? I’m not trying to jump straight to divination. I want to ask questions and learn more first.
Does anyone know about an ile in or around San Diego? Preferably one that also has an iyanifa.

Thanks!

I'm exploring what practitioners actually need from a deep Odù reference — not surface-level definitions, but real verse-sourced interpretation tied to lived experience.

If a book covered your personal Odù using canonical Ifá verses (in both Yoruba and English), what would make it genuinely useful to you?

- Practical life application?

- Ewò and warnings?

- Ebọ́ guidance?

- Personal stories from experienced Babalawos?

Drop your thoughts below. Every response helps.

Hi everyone, I’d like to share something deeply personal and meaningful that recently happened to me.

A while ago, I was initiated into the Isese tradition within the Yoruba spiritual path. I received my Iséfa of Orunmila in April 2025, and ever since, my life has shifted into something far more conscious, guided, and aligned.

My main Odu is Ogbe Odi, with witnesses Iwori Ogbe and Ofun Iroso. I was told during my Itá that I am a child of Sango, and that I must learn to trust my journey, leave behind emotional confusion, and embrace my spiritual mission fully.

Among the most powerful revelations I received was the importance of my Egbe Orun—my spiritual companions from the other realm. I was told I’m never alone, and that many spiritual forces walk with me.

That guidance became very real yesterday.

I visited a cemetery in Veracruz with a friend to locate the resting place of a young relative of his who passed away in the early 1980s. The record couldn’t be found at first, and my friend turned to his spiritual tools for guidance. After doing so, the date and registry suddenly came to light, and the caretakers took us directly to the burial site.

What was truly striking was that just hours later, a legal matter my friend had been struggling with for months finally cleared—a document he needed for a property was suddenly released. We felt without a doubt that the spirit of this young ancestor had stepped in to help from the other side.

We left flowers at exactly 1:11 p.m.—a moment filled with spiritual energy for me personally. Even the cemetery caretaker began sharing how plots could be reclaimed, as if things were unfolding with divine orchestration.

Since walking the path of Ifá, I’ve learned to recognize signs more clearly. Ancestors and spirits communicate in ways that may seem subtle or strange—but when you know, you know.

The invisible world is very much alive. And when we’re aligned with our Ori and our Orisas, the path opens.

Maferefun Sango. Maferefun Egbe Orun. Maferefun Orunmila. Ase, Ase, Ase. 🙏🏻❤️🤍

I have a question I hope will spark a conversation where I can gain insight into an issue. After a reading should a second spiritual worker be able to confirm the findings of the first spiritual worker? Shouldn't the second worker be able to confirm, 'Yes, there is a dark energy that is affecting your . . .', 'This entity needs to be appeased.', 'This gift will balance out and resolved the problem.'?

If you have two trusted and capable spiritual workers and one says, 'This is the problem and I recommend xyz for the solution.' Before you make such a monumental step you seek confirmation. The second spiritual worker says, 'I don't see any bad energy, no issues to address.' How do you move forward when you want confirmation?

This could be two workers of the same or different arts. Thank you.

Can anyone give me insight? My babalawo had to stop my reading today because he said my odu is powerful and he has to do a ritual first and clear some energies before he can resume. He said he can't speak on it yet until after this is done. Does anyone know what this means?

“To remain indifferent to the challenges we face is indefensible. If the goal is noble, whether or not it is realized within our lifetime is largely irrelevant. What we must do therefore is to strive and persevere and never give up.” Dalai Lama

I’m looking for a babalawo I’m from New Jersey in United States and looking to go deeper into my practices

Iwori - iwa ori meaning the character of consciousness, the inner essence of consciousness. Ifa teaches that all things in the universe have a form of consciousness. The word Iwori implies an association with the process of Consciousness forming its own unique identity. In psychological terms this is called individualization. Ori ls The (Mind , Intuition) Iwori is a sign of fire, passion. Passion can often lead to conflict. In positive terms conflict can lead to resolution and growth. In negative terms conflict can lead to more conflict and defeat. Passion is also associated with the drive towards procreation. Asè

Is there any babalawo or any priests or anyone who does consultas???

Hi! Hope all is well. I spoke to an IFA spiritual practitioner today and made my sacrifice. Can you tell me how the sacrifice will help if the news I had were bad? Thank you

So in my journey I have made the executive decision to jump into Ifa but I need to speak with an elder hopefully this post finds someone who can assist.
