We will be organizing workshops on Divining with Opele and ikin and Obi Abata. We will be organizing workshops on the offering of sacrifice. |
| Babalawos need to find other Babalawos with whom they can communicate, study and work. |
| We have a vast amount of reading material that it would behoove us to read.
We have Odus from Africa and Cuba. You are free to study both or one or the other. I will be studying both. We will also encourage the study of the Yoruba language and will suggest self-study texts as well as keeping people apprised of Yoruba language classes being offered.
