Episode Synopsis

Welcome back to Ifá Mythology: Keys to Ancient Healing with your hosts, Oyindamola and Titilope. Today, we enter the mystery of Ìká Méjì, a sacred Odù that asks us to stop choosing one side of the story and instead embrace the whole.

Through the poetic tale of Ọlọ́fin, a king who sought to birth destiny through sacrifice, we explore how the masculine and feminine, the seen and unseen, the physical and spiritual, are not opposites but twins—meant to be held together.

You’ll hear the haunting prophecy of two babaláwos, the birth of divine twins, and the ancient wisdom that ended the practice of discarding what we do not understand. Because what we discard on the outside often mirrors what we deny within.

✨ In this episode:
