Spirituality

Spirituality is as individual as personality. Do not let yourself worry about the formalities of things. What is in your heart and spirit is more important than any regulations man imposes on himself and others. Loosen the restriction that binds you to become free to experience that which you desire most.

The Reading for the Year

This is the year for personal enrichment and personal enlightenment concentrating on personal goals and accomplishments, concentrating on wilderness and nature. Now is the time to start new endeavors such as learning, meditation, and any type of new accomplishments for one’s soul.

With the year being for Osun this is why we will be concentrating on the beauty of nature and all that is natural. Taking your new endeavors out into the wilderness or out by the river will help focus your energy. If you haven’t already received a pot for Osun now would be a good time. It is not required, but it would be nice.

Now is the time to endeavor to keep on path as much as possible because this upcoming year will hold promise as well as pain. If you are off path already or feel this is so, it is probably time for a reading, a legitimate reading, as now is the time that one must come to terms with one’s true path.

Seek the guidance of Oge for he can continue to help guide you along your path and appeal to Esu when you have not been on your true path at all and need the door reopened.

Don’t concentrate so much time and energy on status for that will make no difference this year. Also, bypass all things stuck in tradition for a new wind is blowing in this year.

Truth

Let us not engage the world hurriedly.  Let us not grasp at the rope of wealth impatiently.  Do not rush to decide that which should be treated with mature judgment.  Let us not deal within a state of anger.  When we arrive at a cool place, let us rest fully.  Let us give continuous attention to the future and let us give deep consideration to the consequences of things.  Eventually the time for rest will pass.

Remember, good deeds never go unrewarded, evil deeds never remain unsanctioned.  Constant good deeds without visible results may appear as a loss.  Be truthful and do good deeds for it is the truthful that the divinities support.

The Plan

All things will work according to the divine plan.  All Orisa will assure that Olodumare’s plan is realized.  There will always be more than one way to get the plan fulfilled.  Remember the task is not always clearly seen by the ones who must walk it.  But trust that the choices made will open the path that should be taken.  Don’t push!  The eager individual must take care to allow for the plan to unfold in the manner that has been determined.  Do not fret.  Keep stress down and more will be accomplished.  The enlightenment that we wish for others will happen with care and in time.

Ori

It is time to let the word of Orunmila flow freely to the spiritually hungry souls who beg for freedom to communicate effectively with Ifa.  A woman can only communicate with Ifa if she marries a full Baba.  More so if such a woman is born by an odu Ifa that would compel a man to become a full Baba.  Concentrating on the exclusion of women while the untrained man thrives without caution and are even given free will to preach these biased opinions under the cloak of priesthood is a situation for Obatala.
