How I Create the Weekly Energy Reading

Welcome in.

Every week I offer a reading that is meant to do three things;
- Help you witness what is true.
- Help you name the pattern.
- Help you take one grounded step forward.

This is not fortune telling.
This is spiritual practice with structure.

What Ifá is, briefly:

Ifá is a West African divination and wisdom tradition rooted in Yoruba culture. It holds a vast body of teachings called Odu. Each Odu carries stories, proverbs, warnings, and remedies. When I say an Odu is “speaking,” I mean that specific current of wisdom is shaping the message for the week.

I treat Ifá with respect. I do not use it as aesthetic. I use it as a sacred technology for truth, ethics, and alignment.
