It takes more than entering
Ifá grove for initiation. For proper Ifá initiation,
such initiate must be able to find in his guiding
Odù that will be revealed during the Ifá
initiation rites the revelation of his/her
destiny. |

Not only this, he /she must be properly guided on
ways and means of following his/her destiny based on
the guiding Odù. Lastly, he/she must be given the
challenges on how to fulfill his/her destiny still
based on the guiding Odù. By so doing, the original
and uniqueness of each individual will be revealed.
He/she will be able to gauge his/her achievements
based on the revelations contained in his/her
guiding Odù. Pursuing the wrong or inappropriate
goals will thereby be eliminated.
At Aladonim, an initiate will be assisted to find,
to follow and to fulfill his/her destiny. For those
who had already been initiated, Aladonim can assist
in writing a synopsis on his/her guiding Odù should
he/she requests. This will enable him/her to be
equipped with adequate information with regard to
finding, following and fulfilling his/her destiny.
For those who are yet to be initiated, we can also
arrange initiation for them at reasonable fees.
The significance of Ifá initiation is stated in
several Ifá stanzas. Some of such stanzas can be
found in Ìrẹtẹ̀ méjì and Ogbe Ate as follows:
