HOW SOON AFTER ITEFA CAN INITIATES TEND TO CLIENTS?

Ite’fa alone does not make an initiate Babalawo or Iyanifa. One must undergo training known as Iko’fa (learning of Ifa). The initiate then becomes omo Iko’fa (Ifa apprentice). 

There are certain protocols and processes that is followed before the training is started and completed. 

Such as:

Ritual to begin training,

Learn Odu Ifa,

Learn how to make Ifa medicines,

Learn how to conduct various rituals and ceremonies,

Performing ebo ritual on the opon, etc.

Training takes a minimum of 2 years to 10 years of consistent training, depending on how quickly the initiate can learn. 

Before completing training, the initiate is not qualified to perform Ifa divination without the presence of an elder/teacher.

 Attending to clients comes with big responsibility and tending them without proper training can cause more harm than good.
