Annual Reading 2026

Taking care and working with your Isefa

Event Title:
Annual Ifá World Reading – Ofun’Di Temple
Date: Friday, December 2, 2026
Time: 6:00pm EST
Location: Ofun’Di Temple

Description:
As the calendar turns and the year draws to a close, we gather in sacred alignment to receive the guidance of the oracle for our families, our community, and the wider world. On December 2, 2026, the Ofun’Di Temple invites you to join our Annual Ifá World Reading — a time-honoured ceremony rooted in the tradition of Yorùbá religion, adapted with intentional clarity for practitioners in the diaspora.

During this special gathering:

  • We will open the doors of prophecy and divination through the wisdom of Òrúnmìlà and the Odù Ifá — offering an energetic forecast of the year ahead for nations, communities, families and individuals.
  • We will honour our ancestral line, calling forth the voices of the Egúngún and the Orí, integrating them into the collective vision for transformation and renewal.
  • As we celebrate the turning of the year (in the diaspora context where December holds the rhythm of new beginnings), we will align our hearts, our homes and our paths with the wisdom of the oracle, preparing for what is to come.

This gathering is more than prophecy — it is a call to preparation. The reading will not only bring insight into the currents ahead, but also provide spiritual assignments, ritual suggestions and communal activation for each of us to engage responsibly with the unfolding energies.

Who should attend:

  • Initiated practitioners, temple members and dedicated allies of Ifá in the diaspora.
  • Families wishing to align their household, elders wishing to steward their lineage, and newer practitioners seeking clarity and direction.
  • Anyone ready to enter the new year with intention, discipline, and an awakened spiritual posture.

What to expect:

  • A solemn invocation of the oracle, practice of ritual protocols, and proclamation of the reading of the year.
  • A moment of communal reflection, followed by small-group breakout sessions (or open Q&A) to integrate what emerges.
  • Guidance handout: written summary of the main themes, key Orí alignments, and recommended ritual/soul-work for the coming year.
  • Opportunity to RSVP for follow-up dedicated readings or group ritual alignment workshops.

Important Notes & Preparations:

  • Arrive with your Ikins, and Esu (if you have them), spiritual register ready: note your personal Orí, your recent growth points, and the life-areas (health, wealth, relationships, destiny) you wish to anchor this year ahead.
  • In the spirit of the oracle’s integrity, we ask that you come with humility, reverence, and readiness to act on what is revealed, rather than merely listen.
  • Dress: Comfortable but respectful of the sacred setting; bring a notebook or device to capture insights.
  • RSVP is required to confirm your place. Space is limited to maintain the integrity of the work.

Why this is vital now:
In the global diaspora context, our timing shifts — while the homeland may hold the annual reading in June, our December orientation allows us to close cycles and prepare for fresh beginnings in our adopted contexts. In recent years, readings have emphasized health, community cohesion, the necessity of returning to basics and ancestral alignment.
By gathering now, we align ourselves with the rhythms of the cosmos, our lineage, and the emerging future — not as passive observers, but as active co-creators.

Join us.
Let us come together, bearing witness to what is revealed, and committing to the work that will carry us through the year ahead with purpose, clarity and spiritual power.

Aṣe.
