In Ifá, there has always been a movement to combat the idea that the Divine Messenger, Esu, is somehow connected with the Father of Darkness, the Devil.

Although there is no Devil in Ifa, there are those, mostly who try to denigrate our spirituality, that believe our beloved Esu has the role of the adversary. That couldn't be further from the truth. But there are those out there that take hold of the mantle of the Devil/Satan/Lucifer. Listen in as we speak with a former Satanist/Luciferian about the philosophy and teachings of this fringe system.

Part one was a big hit. Here is the continuation of the amazing conversation we are having with Awo Falokun.

I'm sure this is a question that we have all asked, especially those of us that believe in a Supreme Being. Listen in as Awo Fafore and Awo Oseun tackle this very philosophical question.

When do we talk about the mental and emotional health of men? Why do we seem to be almost exclusively concerned with the mental health of women? There are women's circles, healing retreats, etc. But the man needs to be healed as well if the woman is going to get a man that is whole and prepared to take on the role of leader in the household. In this episode we sat down with Dauod Abeid to talk...
