What is an Ifa Reading?

 An Ifa reading is a sacred divination performed by an initiate ifa of the tradition. Using the Opele  , the reader consults the oracle to receive messages about your path, life purpose, relationships, health, and spiritual obligations. Readings are interpretive and practical , guidance and rituals to restore balance

BOOK YOUR IFA READING

Please reach us at info@africanvibesmassage.life if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 

  • Welcome & intention setting (15 min)
     
  • Divination (Opele or Ikin) consultation (30–60 min)
     
  • Explanation of the messages and recommended next steps (20–30 min)
     
  • Written summary + ritual recommendations sent by email


 Ifa reveals what the oracle recommends; rituals are the practical steps that align your life with those recommendations. They activate the reading and help energy shift in the body and community. 


If you feel called to initiation, we offer guided initiation pathways in West Africa (Ghana, Togo, Benin). Initiation is a sacred commitment, it includes preparation, ceremonies, mentorship with an elder, and post-initiation guidance .


 

  • Pre-initiation consultation & health/consent screening
     
  • Travel & logistics support (optional)
     
  • Ceremony with elders, offerings, and teachings
     
  • Post-initiation mentorship and rituals


3 Day Forest Immersion In Afrika

 Before anything, we always begin with an Ifa reading.
This first reading helps us understand what your ancestors are saying, what kind of energy or rituals you may need, and whether this immersion is the right step for you at this time.
Once we receive their message, we take it from there with humility, guidance.


3 days in the foret

Please reach us at info@africanvibesmassage.life if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 

 A few years ago, during one of my own initiations, the ancestors spoke clearly to me, they asked me to share the knowledge I carry and help others find their path back to alignment.
They showed me that many souls today are burdened, confused, and disconnected from their roots. They reminded me that we are not meant to carry everything alone.
The 3-Day Forest Initiation was born from that calling, a sacred space to reset, to listen, and to reconnect. 


 

This is a dedicated, guided immersion in nature in the forest, by the waterfalls, or sometimes near the sea.
It is not a tourist retreat. It is a spiritual reset and a sacred time to hear your own ancestors speak directly to you.


During the three days, you will experience:

  • Ifa readings to open and close your journey
     
  • Plant medicines and herbal cleansings to open spiritual hearing and release blocked energies
     
  • Cleansing rituals for body, mind, and spirit
     
  • Meditations and ancestral listening sessions, you will hear and feel the presence of your ancestors
     
  • Clean plant-based meals, to support clarity and lightness
     
  • Forest camping under the protection of nature’s spirits
     
  • Rituals of gratitude and grounding before returning home
     

This experience is designed to reset your energy, reconnect you with the land, and help you hear your ancestral voice again.
When you return, you go back to the world renewed aligned, grounded, and ready to walk your path with purpose.


 

  • Accommodation (forest camp setup or local eco-lodge)
     
  • Clean meals (vegan or vegetarian options available)
     
  • Ritual materials and guidance
     
  • All readings during the immersion
     
  • Cleansing and plant medicine sessions
     
  • Follow-up support after your return
     
  • Transportation included (we can meet you directly at the location or arrange pickup)


  

Depending on your reading and what the ancestors guide, we may hold this immersion in different sacred natural sites in Ghana or nearby:

  • Wli Waterfalls :  sacred forest and water spirits
     
  • Butre (near the sea) :  ocean energy and renewal
     
  • Amedzofe / Volta forests : mountain ancestral lineages
     

Each site carries its own energy and purpose. The location is chosen based on what the ancestors reveal in your first reading.


  

 That depends on your reading.
Some initiations are individual journeys.
Others are small group immersions guided by the same ancestral message.
Everything is done according to divine instruction, not human plan. 


  

  Yes this is part of the initiation. You will camp safely with full guidance, supplies, and protection rituals. 


  

 The final contribution depends on your reading and the site chosen (it covers transport, meals, lodging, and rituals). After your first reading, we’ll share the exact amount and dates. 


  

 After booking your initial reading, you’ll receive a preparation guide with what to bring, how to fast, and how to set your intention. 


 

  • To reset your mind and energy.
     
  • To practice deep listening to your inner and ancestral voice.
     
  • To develop single-point focus in spiritual practice.
     
  • To return home with clarity, strength, and protection.

We are in close contact with trusted elders, priests, and spiritual families across Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Côte d’Ivoire.


Each lineage has its own way of working with the oracles, spirits, and nature. Visiting them is not a tourist activity : it is an act of devotion, humility, and spiritual alignment.

Before planning any visit, we begin with an Ifá reading to confirm the call and identify which elder or lineage your ancestors are guiding you toward. Once confirmed, our team coordinates all logistics, communication, and necessary rituals for a smooth experience.


 

 

  • Ancestral Reading: to identify which elder or region is aligned with your path.
     
  • Travel Guidance: visa assistance, transportation, and safety coordination.
     
  • Cultural Introduction: how to greet, dress, and approach with respect.
     
  • Scheduling: your chosen timeline and the elder’s availability.
     
  • Ceremonial Experience: participate in rituals, consultations, or community gatherings as guided.
     
  • Integration: after returning, we help you understand and apply what you received.
     


 

  • Accommodation (forest camp setup or local eco-lodge)
     
  • Clean meals (vegan or vegetarian options available)
     
  • Ritual materials and guidance
     
  • All readings during the immersion
     
  • Cleansing and plant medicine sessions
     
  • Follow-up support after your return
     
  • Transportation included (we can meet you directly at the location or arrange pickup)


  

 

Depending on your calling and reading, you may be connected to:

  • Ghana (Volta / Eastern Region): forest and mountain lineages, herbal and nature-based rituals.
     
  • Togo: traditional Ifá and Fa divination roots, home of many ancient Babalawos.
     
  • Benin: birthplace of Vodun and deep initiatory paths of Ifá and Orisha.
     
  • Côte d’Ivoire: sea and river lineages focusing on cleansing and water spirits.
     


  

 Meeting an elder is not about status : it is about remembering your roots and receiving direct guidance from those who have walked this path for decades.
It can be a transformative encounter that brings healing, clarity, and blessings for your lineage.
