Ifa Lukumi Santeria and The Year in White, Iyaworaje, Iyawo: Our Roots Podcast

Have you ever wondered who the people dressed in white wearing all the beaded necklaces are? They are called Iyawos, the newly initiated priests of Orisha. They must dress a full year in white as a part of their initiation process. Our Roots Podcast sits down with Natasha Obatalá, a woman who recently finished her year in white. She takes us through her journey as an Iyawo, recollecting all of her experiences this past year. Watch this video if you’re thinking about becoming a santero or recently became once. Bendicion Familia! #ifa #iyawo #obatala

This was so insightful especially since I’m approaching the beginning of my year and 7 days. Love this podcast.

[@tawanawilliams9618]

I can’t wait for my Year in white

[@koso914]

Loved watching this. Im 6 months into my iyaworaje, hijo Obatala as well. I can definitly relate to all of this. All my religious family are in Cuba and the city i live in, northern canada there are really not alot of santeros here and often i feel alone. Thankfully im blessed with being able to go and visit my people a few times a year. And also the challenges im facing that seem to be way too much to deal with but my Madrina always tells me "mijo necesitas mucho fe y paciencia". Thank you for posting this. Ache 🙏

[@LadyCoyKoi]

Yeah things happen to direct you where you actually need to go and avoid the obstacles that will truly hurt you in the long run. I now trust the orishas so much through the guidance of a local Baba and his wife who is a Santera. Ase to them, and all here. 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you for sharing your story Natasha. Has given me ideas on what to expect for my own initiation. Ase to you!

[@Rizdabiz14]

[@GuessWh000]

[@ancestralabundance]

This is a good episode.

[@desertwoman]

I always wondered what the Orisha say to those who’s day to day life is already of a hermit. Will the year in white be different since they’re accustomed to living a simple life?

[@JosephBabaIfa]

There’s always some aspect that becomes an adjustment

[@omi-ladeasmr6113]

As the godparent how does one not become hurt when the children stray away? I know the Orishas keep the god parents busy but is there more?

[@omi-ladeasmr6113]

Oh also Iboro Iboya Ibocheche.

[@Baby_Locs]

This was so helpful. ❤🫶🏽🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@vee1029]

Question. I believe she said you and her madrina crowned her. As you being a babalawo, how is that possible? Or did she just make a mistake with her answer?

[@anthonyjones2153]

Babalwos are priest of ifa but some start in lucumi get crowned then go to ifa he is a alwo and depending on the Ile he can attend and help in ceremonies

[@jehvon3286]

Does anyone know how too get in contact with baba if you are looking for initiation or services other than the annual ifa reading
