SUMMARY:Itadogun - April 2026
DESCRIPTION:Event Title:First Quarter (Q1) Itadogun – Ofun’Di TempleDate: Friday\, April 3\, 2026Time: 6:00pm ESTLocation: Ofun’Di Temple \n\n\n\nItadogun is a significant event in the Ifa religious calendar\, occurring every 90 days. Here at the Ofun’Di we observe this significant event every Quarter. This festival is a communal occasion for Ifa reading\, where the wellbeing of the leadership and community members is the primary focus. It serves as an opportunity for the community to gather\, pray\, fellowship\, and receive divinations and guidance from Ifa. This process helps in aligning with destiny and attracting blessings for both individuals and the community as a whole. \n\n\n\nThe essence of Itadogun lies in its communal nature\, where all members of the Ifa/Orisa communities\, including Egbe groups\, temples\, Babalawos\, and Iyanifas\, participate in divination and perform ebos (rituals). These activities collectively show appreciation to Olodumare (the Supreme God)\, Ifa\, Orisa\, and Egungun\, and help in making appeasements based on the community’s needs and messages received during the divination. \n\n\n\nThe event is not only a time for spiritual activities but also for reinforcing community bonds and expressing gratitude towards the divine forces. Donations during Itadogun are considered vital for the success of the community. These contributions support Babalawos\, Iyanifas\, and Olorisa Priests in gathering materials for the necessary ebos and carrying out the divination work. Participating in Itadogun and contributing to it is seen as an act of good behavior and appreciation towards the Orisa and the spiritual leaders of the community. \n\n\n\nFor Omo Awo\, or devotees of Ifa\, participating in Itadogun is crucial. It is a time when they can receive essential messages and guidance from Ifa\, ensuring they remain aligned with their destiny. The festival also allows them to contribute to the collective well-being and prosperity of their community\, reinforcing their commitment to the Ifa tradition and its teachings. \n\n\n\nJoin us in the sacred celebration of Itadogun\, a pivotal moment in our Ifa calendar\, which\, in our Ofun’Di Temple\, we celebrate every Quarter. This communal gathering is more than a ritual; it is a profound expression of our collective spirituality and commitment to the well-being of each other under the guidance of Ifa. Itadogun is a time to come together in prayer\, fellowship\, and divine consultation\, where we receive valuable insights for our community’s prosperity and individual destinies. As Omo Awo\, your participation is not just an act of personal spiritual growth but a vital contribution to the vibrancy and harmony of our entire community. Be a part of this beautiful expression of gratitude\, unity\, and spiritual enrichment\, as we seek blessings and guidance from Olodumare and the Orisa. Your presence and contribution during Itadogun are essential\, as we together uphold the traditions and teachings of Ifa\, strengthening the bonds within our community and paving the way for collective prosperity and spiritual alignment. \n\n\n\nAṣe.

SUMMARY:Annual Reading - December 2024
DESCRIPTION:Event Title:Annual Ifá World Reading – Ofun’Di TempleDate: Friday\, December 4\, 2026Time: 6:00pm ESTLocation: Ofun’Di Temple \n\n\n\nDescription: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 5\, 2025\, 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. \n\n\n\nDuring this special gathering: \n\n\n\n\nWe 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.\n\n\n\nWe 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.\n\n\n\nAs 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.\n\n\n\n\nThis 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. \n\n\n\nWho should attend: \n\n\n\n\nInitiated practitioners\, temple members and dedicated allies of Ifá in the diaspora.\n\n\n\nFamilies wishing to align their household\, elders wishing to steward their lineage\, and newer practitioners seeking clarity and direction.\n\n\n\nAnyone ready to enter the new year with intention\, discipline\, and an awakened spiritual posture.\n\n\n\n\nWhat to expect: \n\n\n\n\nA solemn invocation of the oracle\, practice of ritual protocols\, and proclamation of the reading of the year.\n\n\n\nA moment of communal reflection\, followed by small-group breakout sessions (or open Q&A) to integrate what emerges.\n\n\n\nGuidance handout: written summary of the main themes\, key Orí alignments\, and recommended ritual/soul-work for the coming year.\n\n\n\nOpportunity to RSVP for follow-up dedicated readings or group ritual alignment workshops.\n\n\n\n\nImportant Notes & Preparations: \n\n\n\n\nArrive 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.\n\n\n\nIn 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.\n\n\n\nDress: Comfortable but respectful of the sacred setting; bring a notebook or device to capture insights.\n\n\n\nRSVP is required to confirm your place. Space is limited to maintain the integrity of the work.\n\n\n\n\nWhy 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. \n\n\n\nJoin 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. \n\n\n\nAṣe.
