A sacred space for Ifa divination, Orisha wisdom, and the living waters of tradition.
Rooted in living tradition. Open to all who approach with sincerity and respect.
A sacred consultation with Ifa — the Oracular tradition at the heart of Yoruba spiritual life. Conducted with cowrie shells by an Ifa and Orisha priestess. Ifa speaks to where you are, what you carry, and where the path opens. Some consultations are also Osun-inspired, honoring the Orisha of sweet water, beauty, love, and the art of becoming. Available as a single session or as an ongoing consultation relationship for those navigating long-term questions of path, purpose, and spiritual development.
A rigorous, embodied reading of your natal chart or current transits — not as prediction, but as a map of timing, tendency, and invitation. Where are the planets asking you to grow? Ebun draws on Western traditional and modern synthesis to help you understand the larger patterns moving through your life right now.
For moments of major transition — a move, a marriage, a creative rebirth, a crisis of direction. Ifa divination and astrological reading woven into one integrated consultation. For those standing at a crossroads and ready to hear clearly.
Sliding scale available for community members in financial transition. Please reach out.
For those called to deepen their relationship with Ifa — its cosmology, its literature, its living intelligence. Ebun brings two decades of initiated practice and rigorous scholarship to educational sessions designed for practitioners at every stage of the path.
Public and community educational events centered on Orisha tradition — who the Orisha are, how they speak, and what it means to live in relationship with them. Grounded in Yoruba tradition and the diaspora, and held with the care these teachings deserve.
As both an initiated priestess and a trained scholar, Ebun occupies a rare position — able to speak about Ifa and Orisha tradition from inside the practice and with academic rigor. Available for public lectures, community talks, podcasts, and interfaith or academic events that take these traditions seriously.
An exploration of the divine feminine not as abstraction but as living presence — rooted in land, water, and tradition. Drawing on Osun and Orisha cosmology, women's spiritual lineages, and the sacred geographies of West Africa and the Americas, this offering asks: what does it mean to honor the feminine as sacred? What does it mean to be in right relationship with place?
Educational events are available online and in person. Community pricing available. Reach out to discuss what's right for your group.
Some knowledge cannot be transmitted through a screen. It lives in the land, in the river, in the shrines. Ebun leads sacred pilgrimages across Africa and the Americas — following the living threads of Ifa and Orisha tradition wherever they have taken root and flourished.
These are not tourist trips. They are learning pilgrimages for serious practitioners, artists, and seekers who are ready to receive. Ebun draws on two decades of fieldwork relationships and initiation networks to offer access that is earned and deeply relational.
Itineraries are co-designed with local knowledge holders and shaped around the readiness and needs of each group.
Osogbo (UNESCO Osun Grove), Ibadan, Abeokuta, Igede-Ekiti. Time with living priests, priestesses, and Ifa lineage holders in the tradition's living heartland.
The broader West African landscape where Ifa and Orisha traditions emerged and continue to live — following the tradition across the region's sacred sites and communities of practice.
Sacred sites across the Americas where Orisha tradition, Indigenous spiritual practice, and living ceremonial communities continue to thrive — including Candomble communities in Brazil, Lucumi tradition in Cuba, and Indigenous sacred landscapes across Mesoamerica and the Caribbean. The Americas hold deep, living tradition for those willing to approach with humility and relationship.
Journeys to sites of the divine feminine around the world — shrines, rivers, groves, temples, and ceremonial landscapes where the sacred feminine is actively honored across cultures and traditions. These pilgrimages center women's spiritual lineages and the feminine as sacred geography, not metaphor. Destinations vary and are shaped by the group, the season, and the relationships that make genuine access possible.

I am an Ifa and Orisha priestess, scholar, and artist whose work lives at the intersection of Yoruba tradition, sacred practice, and over two decades of ceremonial life.
Ifa is the embodiment of knowledge — a living, breathing oracular tradition that holds the fullness of human experience and offers a map for navigating it. My practice is rooted in sacred lineage transmitted by Baba Ifagbuyi, and deepened through fieldwork across West Africa and the Americas. Ceremony is not separate from my scholarship or my artmaking — it is the ground from which both grow. The altar informs the archive. The ritual informs the research. Spirit moves through all of it.
I hold a PhD in Cultural Studies and have spent two decades studying these traditions from both inside the practice and within the academy. My creative and scholarly praxis is inseparable from my ceremonial life — each feeds and sharpens the other, and the work I offer here emerges from that integration.
