Egun: The Ifa Concept of Ancestor Reverence
The Metaphysical Foundations of Ifa - Volume 3
One of the first steps in our spiritual journey is the relationship with Egun. We set up an ancestor alter and faithfully make offerings and discuss our daily happenings, wishes, needs, and dreams. All too often through lack of knowledge from our elders, neglect or lack of communication the door to ancestor communication stays shut. Not because of anything we have done, but what we have not done. We need to open the door into that previously forbidden realm. Know and trust, without fear, a communication with our ancestors... not just a one-way monologue, but that two-way dialogue, that lets you have a vehicle for knowledge, healing, and informed advice from our long forgotten ancestors. Baba Falokun provides the tools necessary to kick that door open; by using Oriki we can open a door to a level of communication not previously available. As we follow the guide and chant the Oriki for the ancestors to mount the medium, we begin to hear the voices of the past repeating the words with you. Welcome them, the words are thousands of years old and still used today. This is a tool that opens the portals of another dimension. Use them, our ancestors walk with us; don’t lose the opportunity to receive a communication. These are a must for anyone doing or wishing to communicate with the other side.

Ela: The Ifa Concept of Altered States
Metaphysical Foundations of Ifa Book 5
Within the West African cultural spirituality of the Yoruba, Ela is known as the Spirit of Light and Manifestation meaning all things came into existence here on Ikole Aye (Earth) by way of Ela. Ela can also be summarized as the Holy Spirit of Ifa and interchangeably used as another name for Orunmila Elerin Ipin Ibikeji Olodumare (Orunmila, Withness of Creation, Second to the Creator). It is by way of Ela that Ifa became acceptable throughout the world and Orunmila accepted by followers, including followers in secret. In “Ela, The Ifa Concept of Altered States”, Awo Falokun opens the dialogue once again on how devotees can continue to seat Ifa in the West. His approach to the subject of Ela is not the way, but a way to create and maintain Extended Family and Community. Knowledge of Ela and the Orisa is not enough – through the possession (spiritual access to the wisdom) of Ela, Ifa devotees can begin to heal ourselves of the negative influences of the Western World View, past and present, and heal the Ifa Community and the world around us. In this book, Awo Falokun teaches that the basis of Traditional Yoruba Spirituality is Good Character, which is accessible through Ela, and how it is essential to go into possession with the Spirit of Orunmila in order to maintain good character and banish the negative forces that create ori buruku, i.e., gossip, jealousy, lying, stealing, violence, etc.

Dafa: The Ifá Concept of Divination and The Process of Interpreting Odu The Metaphysical Foundations of Ifa Volume 6
Dafa, the act of performing the divination system of the Yoruba of Nigeria is the fundamental way in which the Babalawo or Iyanifa commune with the wisdom of the Orisa Orunmila, also sometimes called Ifa. It is through rigorous study, guidance, and practical application over a period of time that an initiate can learn the necessary ebo (sacrifice) and oogun (medicine) that are within each of the verses or ese of Ifa. Although verses of Ia are learned via the teacher-student relationship through oral transmission in Nigeria, Awo Falokun in his book Dafa uses his experience and understanding of ifa to explore the sixteen meji odu and the subsequent combination of the verses of odu to give us a basic insight or a doorway into the 256 verses from a metaphysical perspective that make up the ifa corpus. It is only through one's consistent emersion into the study and practical use of ifa in one's daily life can the verses or ese of ifa come alive to assist us in overcoming one's daily struggles and adversities, as well as provide preventative solutions that in turn manifest real and fundamental transformation on the path of the individual's destiny.

The illusion of separation is stripped away and the obvious truth becomes clear: We are spiritual beings having a physical experience. Ori offers tools to incorporate these deep understandings into a balanced life filled with all of the blessings that were intended us from the womb.

Ifa How-to Books
Mérìndínlógún: Òrìsà Divination Using 16 Cowries
Traditional Yorùbá culture is founded on the idea that everything in Nature has Orí or consciousness. This belief leads to the idea it is possible to communicate with Forces in Nature called Òrisà. One form of communication is through altered states of consciousness commonly refered to as possession. The other is to communicate with Nature through the use of divination. In traditional Yorùbá culture divination is the manipulation of either seeds or shells to create numberical patterns these patterns refer to specific verses of oral scripture. These verses are a way of preserving the wisdom of the ancestors. Traditional Yorùbá culture has four main systems of divination that are interrelated and inter connected. The first is obi obata, which essentially is used to give yes no answers to direct questions. The second system is bàsed on the use of sixteen principles that traditional Yorùbá culture considers the foundation of Creation. This system is called Mérìndínlógún from the elision mérìn meaning four, dín meaning subtract from, and lógún meaning twenty. In the Yorùbá system of counting Mérìndínlógún is the word for sixteen.

Mérìndínlógún: Adivinación de Òrìsà Utilizando 16 Cowries
La cultura tradicional Yorùbá esta fundada sobre la idea que todo en la naturaleza tiene orí o conciencia.

En la cultura tradicional Yorùbá la adivinación es la manipulación igual de semillas o caracoles para crear patrones numéricos, estos patrones se refieren a versos específicos de la escritura oral. Estos versos son una forma de preservar la sabiduría de los ancestros. La cultura tradicional Yorùbá tiene cuatro sistemas principales de adivinación que son correlativos e interconectados. El primero es obì àbàtà que esencialmente es usado para dar respuestas de si o no a preguntas dIréctas.

Sacred Ifa Technology: A Complete Course on the Prayer Cycles
Ifa-Orisa is the traditional spiritual discipline of the Yoruba people from Southwest Nigeria. This tradition has spread throughout the Diaspora and has countless manifestations and variations. In the past our ancestors taught Ifa-Orisa through oral instruction and observation. In recent times there has been an increase in the availability of instructional material in written form. In order for this course to be effective we still need communal support and guidance from elders.
This course is meant to supplement, not replace oral instruction from elders.This course has been developed to provide training to anyone who has been initiated into either Ifa or Orisa. In order to be effective I encourage students to study this material in conjunction with an elder who can check progress and provide guidance based on personal experience.

Wakanda is Real: Paleo -Science, The Mysteries of Creation, revealed by our African Ancestors as preserved in the oral scripture of traditional Yoruba culture called Odu Ifà
Wakanda Is Real is a deep dive into the view of history from an Ifa perspective, presenting evidence of the deliberate attempt to direct information away from accurate documentation by Western academia. The book presents evidence of manipulation and deception by modern Western science. It creates a fresh new view of history which gives hope and possibility to what looks like a dire future for our planet and generations to come. The book reads like a novel intertwined with historic and scientific information giving it a mythical flare while still wetting the palette of those interested in facts.

Ancestral Memories
Ancestral Memories is a description of World History as it is preserved by the Dragon Families of Transylvania. These families trace their history to a time before the Global Flood that occurred 12,000 years ago. In Europe the Dragon Families are acknowledged by other Royal Families as the Oldest Dynasty in Europe. The Dragon Families were and continue to be guided by the hereditary priesthood of Hungarian culture. This priesthood is represented by two families, de Veres and Fenyes.In 1970 the author of this book was initiated into the lineage of the Fenyes Family in a ritual called Shadi. During that initiation he was shown a version of history that is significantly different that the version of history presented by Western Academia. The decision to share the substance of this alternative history was based on the idea that the belief in this information has played a major role in shaping historic events. Many of those events make no sense without a full understanding of the motivations that at times have led to conflict and war. The decision to release this information is based on the belief that the more we understand the motivation behind acts of violence the more we can prevent them from happening again.

Ancestral Memories Volume II: INITIATIONS
We are privileged to view the world history from a completely different view; one that gives cohesion to some of the many inconsistences and mysteries that plague our minds as we search for meaning and purpose. Awo painstakingly brings us to this awareness by taking a step-by-step approach through history from a point of view that many will not know existed. Not only does he site obscure information, but he gives the reader a map to research for himself. The connection between Ancient Africa and historic information is mindboggling. The reader can't help but want more. The Ifa perspective as a source of ancient knowledge is certainly eye-opening.

The Reptilian Chronicles
The Reptilian Chronicles is a novel by Awo Falokun and Iyanifa Fajalabi.

This information is in the context of a thriller-style novel. The authors hope this makes the presentation of this material information, and entertaining. Enjoy.

Historical Crime
Not Just Evil: Murder, Hollywood, and California's First Insanity Plea
In 1927, a schoolgirl’s murder leads to a Hollywood manhunt, a bizarre confession, and a landmark trial in this historical true crime. Twelve-year-old Marion Parker was kidnapped from her Los Angeles school by an unknown assailant on December 15, 1927. The killer dropped her off a few days later, fleeing with the ransom money before Marion’s father discovered she had been brutally murdered. When William Edward Hickman was hunted down and charged with the killing, he admitted to all of it, in terrifying detail, but that was only the start. Hickman’s insanity plea was the first of its kind in California, and it led to a national media frenzy. His lawyers argued that their client lived in a fantasy world, inspired by movies and unable to tell right from wrong. In a year when the first talking picture had just been released, the movie industry scrambled to protect itself from ruinous publicity. As scandals threatened the proceedings from the start, the death of a young girl grew into a referendum on the state of America at the birth of mass media culture. Author and private investigator David Wilson captures the maelstrom surrounding Marion Parker’s death in vivid detail. From the crime itself to the manhunt that followed, the unprecedented trial, and its dramatic aftermath, Wilson draws readers into this fascinating true account of the birth of the celebrity criminal.
