    Ivy Insights

    The Orisha Wisdom Podcast has been an invaluable resource for me as I navigate the traditions of Ifá. Whether it's through their episodes, the Aleyos 101 course, or the Orisha Wisdom Facebook page, I have found guidance and support to deepen my understanding and connection to these traditions. I appreciate Omileti's genuine concern for newcomers and her dedication to providing accurate and reliable information. I have listened to many episodes multiple times for learning and guidance, and I am so grateful for everything Iya has done.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is its ability to cater to both newcomers and those with more experience in these traditions. There are countless gems of wisdom shared in each episode that can benefit anyone on their Orisha journey. The information is presented in a clear and accessible way, allowing listeners to gain a deeper understanding of the Orishas and what it means to be on this path. Additionally, Iya's energy is uplifting and her soothing voice creates a calming atmosphere that makes listening a joy.

    While there are not many negative aspects about The Orisha Wisdom Podcast, one thing that could be improved upon is including perspectives from different houses or religious branches. It is mentioned that some practices may vary across different lineages, but it would be interesting to hear from practitioners with different experiences as well. However, this does not take away from the overall quality of the podcast.

    In conclusion, The Orisha Wisdom Podcast is an exceptional resource for anyone interested in deepening their spirituality through the traditions of Ifá. Iya's knowledge, energy, and guidance shine through each episode, providing listeners with valuable insights and teachings. This podcast has been instrumental in my own journey with the Orishas, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking wisdom and connection within these traditions.
