Weirdest dream, well maybe not weird but
I was running away from some people And ran into my brothers in a parking lot they had an old school and he popped the trunk and it was war time but when we was ready they tried to send females to distract us but it didn’t work
I just said I need to go back home
Some kind a way I ended up at a house where there were some Africans playing music
I knelt down to one of the elders and said “I’m tired of running I just wanna go home”
next thing you know I was surrounded by so many people singing this beautiful Nigerian song And when I opened my eyes I was surrounded by my ancestors a free I didn’t recognize
But before I could ask them something I got woken up by all the noise in this halfway house

This negro ate some egusi soup before sleeping.
*raises hand* I practice Lukumi. If you got "initiated" when you were locked up then you should be able to ask your Oluwo or Babalawo these questions. Otherwise, getting initiated into any ATR while incarcerated is questionable at best.
I need to find one here in Nashville but it’s sketchy
I was reading almost every book I could get my hands on
I’m trying find the full version of Anthony Pinn book
I have my cowrie shells but since I’m not in healthcare anymore my patient that was my guide is unavailable to me
That looks good
Alafia brother, you may want to ask your Babalawo what it means. Are you apart of a ile?
O dabo
No but I’m looking to get involved
I’m gone have to wait until I get released to go home (New Orleans)
What’s some credible books to start reading
Do you have your hand yet and know your Odu?
This book is a good start
The Handbook of Yoruba Religious Concepts...
ive been practicing Ifa since the early 90's
those were the next questions I was gonna ask.
Alafia..... who are you a child of?

I got you.....
I have some SERIOUS books! You should start with the Ways of the Orisha.
Im gonna start an ifa thread in the book section.
Alafia... do you speak Yoruba?
Yeah, nawl. You gon' have to get that looked into cause sum'n don't sound right. And these traditions are oral. Those books are fulla misinformation & half truths.
I also use a reader that does their thing with numerology....
she can fill in the blanks in a different way that you may have when you get an Ifa reading.
I use them both its super helpful.

Nawl. Well.....yeah, nawl. Lukumi is a strictly Afro-Cuban tradition that was influenced by a variety of groups from West Africa including the Yoruba's. The language is codified & criollo in nature & not strictly Yoruba. It's not even my primary tradition. I'm an Aborisha, not an Olorisha. I'm a full initiate in da other tradition that I practice but that isn't da focal point of this thread. Some Ile Ocha's work with Babalawo's. Others only work with an Oba Oriate. Both of my godparents are initiated in Esin Orisa Ibile as well.
@nawlinsn931
For you to have undergone Itefa, there would HAVE to be a variety of priests, hierbas, animals, etc. available which wouldn't be while anyone is incarcerated. Anyone NOT initiated wouldn't have even been allowed in da Igbodu. That's why I'm skeptical. You may wanna get that looked into.

Exact reason I’m looking into it not that I’m free
Tag me in it
I was told before I got locked up by a” teacher “ that I was son of Ogun, Ochosi in particular that’s why I reached out to study more
I have my New Orleans Vodun book as well and my great aunt was well versed back in the day
So much she was looked down upon by some of our family (Roman Catholic)

I’m turning this into a spirituality thread
I’ve ordered a Hoodoo book from Amazon and downloaded many others to get well versed
I study Voodoi/Vodun and want to learn more about Yoruba/ifa

Bruh, you called to go home, they waiting on you. I'm not Ifa yet, but the dream is simple to interpret. Bruh, how you know the song is Nigerian? Ifa is all over Africa. It's here, South America the Caribbean, Cuba, etc. To be honest, it had to be Africa and you are like many of us, tired of Babylon. Get your bread up and try to get out of here in a few months. My deadline is June 30.
Thanks bruh. If you got some more put them up.
Thank you
And I’m just making a guess on the song because of what I’ve heard before no disrespect intended
