Orisha Determination

Find Out Which Orisha Has Your Head

$150.00

Orisha determination as a standalone option is not a traditional Ifa practice. It is normally part of Ifa initiation(Itefa). However, due to the increased demand from the diaspora and the fact that many never make it to Itefa(even those who receive the hand of Ifa), orisha determination is offered by some Ifa temples and orisha priests and priestesses.

Finding out which orisha has your head enables you to start the process of creating a relationship with that orisha. Some will go on to be initiated into said orisha, others may choose to have the orisha appeased on their behalf or opt for a consecrated orisha.

Orisha determination is offered with or without a naming ceremony. The naming ceremony is a traditional Yoruba ceremony performed at the temple. Your orisha or ifa name will be determined by additional divination, the required offerings will be made, there will be celebration and you can now enjoy your new name.

If you plan on or are already scheduled to go to Nigeria for full Ifa initiation, there is no need to do orisha determination, as it will be a part of your Ifa initiation.
