Spiritual Activism

Living the medicine means coming out of the shrine. It means cultivating spiritual energy and eternal wisdom so that you can face the problems of the world gently, but firmly. Orunmila is hailed as the king of the Irunmole because of his great wisdom, which enabled him to govern the world well. 

Those who use a big calabash to draw water
If they do not know how to draw it properly
They will end up spilling the water on their own heads
This was the message of Ifa to Ogun
When going to wage war with his own siblings
He was advised to offer sacrifice
Anyone who plants the seeds of wickedness
Those seeds will grow and germinate on the heads of their own children
This was the message of Ifa to Obatala
When going to wage war with his own siblings
Bear the burden of laterite stone
Anyone who puts the burden of laterite stone on my head
I shall revenge by putting the entire wall upon the heads of his children tomorrow
This was the message of Ifa to Orunmila
When his siblings declared war against him
He was advised to offer sacrifice
- Holy Odu IrosunOtura

Here, Ifa teaches us the consequences of negativity and thus encourages us to make a positive contribution to the lives of those we serve. Spiritual activism is, therefore, an explicit requirement of Orisa Lifestyle. Please join us to internalize the wisdom and teachings of Ifa that will empower us to live the medicine that will heal our lives and heal the lives of the people we are destined to serve. Ase.
