10 reasons why you need to be initiated into Ifa

Ifa initiation known in Yoruba as itenifa or itelodu can be said to be a spiritual process which enables one to understand not only what Ifa is but also to illuminate light to one’s life, destiny and to serve as a pathway, guidance to our application to life itself. Itenifa is therefore not limited to the above definition as there are many ways and perspectives to view it according to how the practitioners see it. 

Itenifa is advisable for everyone, both Ifa practitioners and non-practitioners, male and female. Without taking much time, because itenifa is a broad topic which I will not delve into.

I decided to come up with the 10 reasons why itenifa is important to you. 

Note that the reasons are much than ten but I limit mine to just ten. See below:

1.     It gives the initiates Ase (power) in any chosen career

2.     It enables the initiates to know the easiest direction to follow in order to achieve their pre-destined desired goals

3.     It gives them the opportunity to recognize the originality and uniqueness in their individuality

4.     It gives them basis for gauging their achievements in life vis-à-vis their destiny

5.     It gives them the capability to predict what their future will look like

6.     It assures them the guidance and protection of the Deities

7.     It also makes them masters over their destiny and future

8.     It guides them against pitfalls

9.     It makes them understand and appreciate how their lives and death will be.

10. It becomes easy to know when their times on earth are over.
