Services
Ikọṣédaiyé and Éséntàyé are sacred Yoruba ceremonies performed to understand and bless a child’s journey on earth. These rites mark the moment when a newborn is spiritually introduced to the world, their destiny is consulted, and their path is opened with guidance and protection.
Éséntàyé, meaning “stepping into the world,” is traditionally performed on the third day after birth, when the child is believed to fully enter earthly existence. Through divination, elders seek insight into the child’s ori, their destiny, and whether they carry the spirit of an ancestor returning to complete unfinished work.
During these ceremonies, the child’s spiritual name is determined (a name chosen not only for identity, but for destiny, character, and ancestral alignment), and offerings are made to the Òrìṣà and ancestors to bless the child’s path, clear obstacles, and ensure protection as they begin life.
Together, Ikọṣédaiyé and Éséntàyé affirm a core Yoruba truth:
A child does not arrive empty. They come with destiny, purpose, and spiritual history.
These ceremonies help the family understand that purpose and prepare the way for the child’s life ahead.
Price may vary based on materials needed.
There are moments when Ifá prescribes an offering or sacrifice that cannot be carried out by one’s own hands. In such times, it becomes necessary to call upon a priest. Often times completing the work requires the use of sacred tools and knowledge of how to approach the Òrìṣà with the alignment and discipline the ritual demands. This ensures that the offering is delivered in the right way, at the right time, and with the right spiritual authority.

Comfort, Responsibility, and the Healing Journey
Join us for a powerful and insightful lecture exploring two profound Òrìṣà whose stories illuminate the balance between ease and endurance, comfort and challenge, softness and strength.
---
Dàda — The Òrìṣà of Comfortable Living
According to mythology, Dàda was the brother of Ṣàngó, known for his gentle nature and his embodiment of ease. Dàda teaches us that long‑term suffering is not a requirement for service.
His path reminds us that comfort, joy, and stability are not signs of weakness, they are blessings that allow us to show up fully for our community.
Babalúayé — The Òrìṣà of Illness, Health, and Renewal
Babalúayé governs the mysteries of the body, illness, healing, and recovery.
Though his domain is physical health, his journey teaches us about personal responsibility, humility, and the courage to overcome hardship.
Through him, we learn that healing is not only physical, it is moral, emotional, and spiritual.
Come, join us as we deepen your understanding of these powerful Òrìṣà and the wisdom they offer for modern spiritual life.
All are welcome, Aborisha, devotees, and seekers alike.
Asé, asé asé o.

My experience receiving spiritual guidance from Baba Teju is one that is incomparable. The overall scheduling and appointment process runs smoothly and efficiently. Baba Teju provides a comfortable learning environment and in depth explanations to any questions that may arise during the process. You leave the session not in confusion but in complete clarity. I would highly recommend to those ready to receive Ifa wisdom and apply it to their own life.
