Who Are the Witches?

Be careful that you don't offend the witches! Have you had someone say that to you or caution you? What image comes to mind when you hear the word "witch"? Is it a woman dressed all in black with a pointy hat, long crooked nose with a mole on the end? Where did the word "witch" come from and is it relevant to the Ifa/Orisa tradition?  In this episode, Oloye Ekundayo explores the word "witch" and challenges us to rethink how we think about the witches. Oloye Ekundayo Efuntomisin, a devoted student of the West African Yoruba Spiritual Tradition called Ifa/Orisa, is your podcast host. She is the founder of Ile Ifa Otura Orire, the Ifa House of Good Destiny. The mission of the Ile is to support Ifa/Orisa devotees and seekers to be confident and competent on this sacred spiritual path. The Ile welcomes Ifa/Orisa initiates and those not-yet initiated who are committed students desiring to grow and develop in the sacred wisdom.  If you are interested in learning more about the Ile and our work, please visit www.IfaDestiny.com
