Hauntings and Paranormal from the Perspective of the Ifá Religion

A Livestream Class with Baba Ifálọdún

Sat at 3:15 pm in The Astral Garden

Join Baba Ifálọdún, a respected Babalawo and Ifá-Òrìṣà scholar, for a powerful and insightful look into how the Ifá spiritual belief system approaches paranormal disturbances, hauntings, and spirit-influenced locations, objects, or individuals.

Within the Ifá tradition, there is a specific and distinct methodology for addressing spiritual unrest. When someone or something is believed to be affected by paranormal activity, it becomes the responsibility of a trained priest or Babalawo to conduct divination using Ifá. This sacred process allows the Babalawo to assess the nature of the disturbance and determine whether a remedy (ebo) or ritual is needed.

Whether a home is restless, a person is spiritually burdened, or a site holds residual unrest, the Ifá system provides not only a diagnosis through divination but also a solution. The Babalawo identifies the type of spirit involved, the origin of the issue, and the appropriate action to restore peace and balance to the afflicted.

In this class, you will learn:

• The steps a Babalawo follows when asked to investigate potential paranormal activity
• Examples of how a location or person is treated when confirmed spiritual disturbances are present
• How exorcisms are determined to be necessary and what they entail in the Ifá context
• Open discussion and comparative insight with attendees to explore how this sacred system aligns with or differs from other paranormal practices
