This is not an immediate booking service. Ifa priesthood initiations are approximately $6,000 when performed in America, usually require the head to be shaved, require a priest team, and must usually be planned at least three months in advance.

What problem does it solve?

A call toward consecration, formal responsibility, priestly development, or receiving a sacred object or authority.

Where does it fit?

Stabilization or ascension layer: deeper responsibility, consecration, and long-term spiritual development.

What is the next step?

Use the contact form to confirm fit, timing, preparation, and whether a reading is needed before booking.

Decision Box

Choose this when the description matches your present condition. If the cause is unclear, begin with diagnosis so the work is targeted instead of guessed.

Full Ifa Initiation - Entering Deeper Ifa Responsibility

Full Ifa initiation is a major spiritual undertaking. It is not the same as reading about Ifa, studying the Ifa Manual, receiving general divination, or receiving Hand of Ifa.

This is the deeper initiatory threshold into Ifa responsibility and must be approached with planning, priestly coordination, spiritual readiness, and seriousness.

The ceremony is generally a three-day initiation. In most cases, the initiate should expect that the head will be shaved as part of the process. This should be understood before planning begins.

How This Differs From Hand of Ifa

Hand of Ifa establishes a personal relationship with Ifa, clarifies destiny through Ita, and gives the student guidance, taboos, warnings, and orientation.

Full Ifa initiation is a larger undertaking. It requires more preparation, a priest team, ritual coordination, materials, timing, and confirmation that the person should proceed to that level.

Planning Requirement

This initiation must usually be planned at least three months in advance.

That planning window allows time to confirm readiness, assemble the priest team, prepare materials, coordinate ritual needs, handle travel or location requirements, and make sure the student understands the responsibility being entered.

Pricing

Ifa priesthood initiations are approximately $6,000 when performed in America. This is a planning estimate, not a fixed quotation.

The final cost can vary depending on location, priest team requirements, materials, travel, timing, and the specific needs identified during preparation.

What May Be Revealed Afterward

Full Ifa initiation is a major life karma readjustment.

After initiation, the guidance that comes through may reveal a number of ebos, rituals, sacrifices, taboos, corrections, and life adjustments that must be handled after the ceremony. These post-initiation ebos may be mild, moderate, or significant depending on how far the person has been from their life mission, destiny pattern, or incarnation objective. The initiation does not simply give information. It can reorganize the obligations, protections, warnings, and spiritual work required for the initiate’s life.

This is one reason the process must not be rushed. A person should be prepared not only for the ceremony itself, but for what the ceremony may reveal and require afterward.

Who This Is For

This path is for people who have already moved through serious foundation work and are confirmed as ready for deeper Ifa obligation.

It is for students who understand that initiation is not a status symbol. It is a commitment to discipline, taboos, spiritual instruction, ethical conduct, and long-term relationship with Ifa and the priestly structure supporting the initiation.

Next Step

Do not treat this as a casual purchase. Contact Ancestral Egbe to begin a readiness conversation, confirm whether prior readings or preparation are needed, and determine whether the timing, team, and conditions can be arranged.

Before This Initiation

Full priesthood initiation; request and preparation are not enrollment or performance of the rite.

Required Reading Before Initiation

African-Centered Funeral Practices is required reading before every significant initiation. Read the full article, including the discussion of inappropriate burial and the will addendum, and discuss it with your responsible house or godparent during preparation.

Review the funeral and will preparation checklist.

Your responsible house reviews your understanding during preparation. The private Funeral Practices assessment is available for study review. Reading or quiz completion does not replace explicit house authorization.

Before the initiation can be authorized, the responsible house or godparent must verify a submitted current will with the Ancestral Egbe addendum included. The same current verified document serves later significant initiations; the managing godparent determines the rites from initiation history.

Receiving a file or finding the addendum’s wording is not verification. A replacement document needs fresh review. The will check does not replace registration, required preparation, assessments or explicit house permission.

Read the funeral-obligations explanation and download the will addendum. Arrange legally effective execution with qualified local advice.

FreeWill: prepare a will online. Need a will? FreeWill is a suggested starting point for preparing one online. Follow the signing requirements for your jurisdiction and properly include the Ancestral Egbe addendum. Seek qualified local advice where needed; an online draft does not replace proper execution or responsible-contact review.

Request this initiation and submit your will with addendum. Sign in with your student/member account first.

Reader Journey Connection

How This Fits the Reader Journey

This is the deeper Ifá threshold beyond introductory study, placing initiation within a longer discipline of Odù, divination, obligation, and guided development.

In the Atef Crown: Ifá, Odù, and Causal Law journey, this service follows Hand of Ifá Initiation. Whether or not you book, continue to Spiritual Jurisdiction and the Crowns of Kemet to carry the learning forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Full Ifa Initiation for?

Full Ifa Initiation is for people who need structured spiritual support, diagnosis, correction, or development rather than general inspiration alone. The exact fit depends on your current condition, readiness, and the stage of work you are entering.

Do I need a reading before booking?

Many custom priest services begin with an Incarnation Objective Reading or divination so the work is diagnosed before ritual recommendations are made. This helps prevent unnecessary work and keeps the service aligned with the real spiritual issue.

Can this work be done remotely?

Some priest services can be supported remotely, while others require physical materials, preparation, or in-person ritual handling. The proper format is confirmed during intake based on the nature of the service.

How should I prepare?

Preparation depends on the service. After contact, you will receive guidance on timing, materials, spiritual cleanliness, and any personal steps needed before the work begins.
