🌟 Welcome to a special journey with the Orisha Wisdom Podcast. Episode 98, 'From Charm to Harm: How Can Charisma and Power Lead Astray - Part 1,' opens a two-part conversation that begins, unexpectedly, with a song—'The World's Greatest.' This melody leads us down a rabbit hole of reflections and crucial lessons about the allure and pitfalls of charisma and power. In this episode, we gently peel back the layers of stories that show how magnetic personalities and authoritative figures can sometimes lead us away from our truth. It's a topic that touches on sensitive areas and might be triggering for some, so we approach it with care and an open heart. Our goal is to provide insights and cautionary tales to help us navigate our paths with more awareness and to remind us that, in this community, we're all here for each other. As we explore these themes, remember, we're not alone. The discussions here are meant to foster understanding, support, and resilience. So, let's tread this path together, learning from the past and each other, always moving towards light and wisdom. Join me, Ivon Reborn, as we dive into this delicate but necessary dialogue. Your thoughts, your experiences, and your voice are what make this community so special. Let's continue to build this space where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported.

Welcome to the Orisha Wisdom Podcast.  This is an Ask-A-Priest episode where a big question is asked and I'll post the whole thing here "Hi, my girlfriend is Cuban ( lived here in the uk for many years) and her father is a priest in the religion. He has suggested I have my three day ceremony to obtain my “Life Sign” but I’m anxious because one I’m new to this religion but want to do it for my girlfriend and two I have this feeling of mistrust with him because of things that have happened and been said in the past because he has asked Orula in some big decisions that I feel my girlfriend and myself should make as two grown adults. He has been in the religion for twenty plus years but is involved in every decision we make plus I mistrust the business side of the religion and feel he may be abusing it for self gain from myself. I might be completely wrong but the doubt is constantly on my mind . Am I overthinking the religion aspects? What do you think of this heavy duty question?  Listen in for this answer.  Do you agree?  Do you think that there should be more to this?   For show notes and to get ALL the info discussed in this episode, go to: www.orishawisdom.com/61   Let’s keep in touch!  www.orishawisdom.com/iyaomileti   If you have found value in The Orisha Wisdom Podcast and you can and would like to… support this podcast on Patreon www.patreon.com/iyaomileti  and get access to podcast episodes BEFORE they come out and other perks.     Adupe pupo for being part of The Orisha Wisdom Podcast Family!  Until next time!    Omileti Olubunmi

One of the most exciting things when coming to the Orisa Traditions was finding out about the process of becoming a Iyawo.  I couldn't get enough of finding out about them.  When I would see a person dressed all in white... my neck would almost break... I wanted to have their attention... I wanted to talk to them... I wanted to be them.   It is an exciting prospect to know... that in our path... We could be called to initiate into the mysteries of Orisa.  But... how?  What?  How much?  What does it take?  Listen to this very candid conversation with someone who at the time of this recording was a Iyawo.  We are grateful for his time, and for him openly sharing his experiences with us.
