🎉 Happy Father’s Day, @Baba Victor Today, our community would like to take a moment to honor and celebrate a man who gives so much of himself to the service of others. Baba Victor, thank you for the countless readings, classes, ceremonies, phone calls, prayers, teachings, corrections, encouragement, and sacrifices that often happen behind the scenes. Many of us have found clarity during confusion, hope during difficult times, and direction when we felt lost because you were willing to answer the call of service. Thank you for being a spiritual father, teacher, mentor, and guide to so many people. Your dedication to preserving tradition, teaching with patience, and helping others grow has touched more lives than you may ever fully know. On this Father’s Day, we celebrate not only the father of your family but also the father figure, elder, and leader that so many in this community have come to love and respect. May the ancestors continue to walk beside you, may Orunmila continue to guide your wisdom, and may all of the love you pour into others return to you multiplied. Please join us in wishing Baba Victor a very Happy Father’s Day! ❤️ Drop your favorite memory, lesson, or message of appreciation for Baba Victor in the comments below.

This one is for @Marie Saez — and honestly, for every single person in this community who has ever stood in front of their altar and gone completely blank. You are seen. You are not alone. And I have something I want to share with you that I think is going to change the way you think about prayer forever. My grandmother used to say something that has stayed with me all of my life. She said that the Holy Spirit can interpret all languages — even the ones that sound like nothing more than a moan or a groan. I have never forgotten that. Because what she was really saying is that spirit doesn't need you to be eloquent. Spirit needs you to be real. Do They Know What You Mean? Marie asked the question that I think a lot of us are secretly afraid to ask out loud — do they actually know what I mean when I fumble through my words? Yes. They do. Your ancestors, your Orisha, your Ori — they are not sitting on the other side waiting for you to get the phrasing just right before they decide to listen. They are not grading your grammar. They are reading your heart. And your heart has never once fumbled. The sincerity behind your words is the prayer. The words themselves are just the vehicle. Three Words Said With Everything You Have I want you to think about this. If you stood at your altar and all you could get out was "I need help" — but you said those three words with every ounce of sincerity in your body, with tears in your eyes and your whole heart behind it — that prayer would be more powerful than a Baptist preacher on Sunday morning delivering a perfectly crafted sermon. I mean that. It's not performative. It's not about how it sounds. It's about relationship. It's about connection. And connection doesn't require perfection — it requires presence. Show Up and Say What You Can Sometimes you won't have words. Sometimes you'll stand there and go completely blank — and that silence itself is a form of prayer. Just showing up matters. Just lighting the candle and standing there matters. Just saying "I'm here" matters.

Bendiciones Everyone! I've decided to add a "Spiritual Development" tab to our Skool. But before I start creating content, I want to hear from you. I don’t want to assume I know what you need. I want to actually listen. So tell me: What are your biggest spiritual development questions right now? No question is too basic. No question is silly. And please don’t feel like you have to already know the “right words” to ask. Just tell me what you’re wondering, what you’re struggling with, what you’re curious about, or what you wish someone would explain in a simple, grounded way. Your questions will help me create content that is actually useful for you — not just random lessons, but teachings that meet you where you are. Drop your spiritual development questions below, and I’ll use them to start building out this new section for our community. I’m excited about this. 🤍

The Orisha of the month is Oyá. The Adimú of the month is an eggplant cut into nine pieces, sautéed in red palm oil, drizzled with honey, cover with colored sprinkles and offered to Oyá on a beautiful plate. Place the plate in front of Oyá on a mat. This month, the Eggun are at our doors. The ancestors, especially those who have passed away, are very present and active during this month. This is a month to honor them, listen carefully, and stay spiritually aware. In this Odu, we are told that mountains connect us with Obatalá. If you have the opportunity to go to a mountain, large hill, or elevated place, go there and pray for your mind, your health, and your wisdom. This is also a month where dreams may be very literal. If you dream of someone dying, do not dismiss it casually. Pay attention, pray, and take spiritual precautions. This Odu also speaks about movement, relocation, and housing. If you are looking to move, relocate, or buy a home, this can be a good month to do so. If possible, look for a home that has water nearby. Main Guidance, Warnings, and Spiritual Advice for June 2026 - Take care of your mental and emotional health.This month carries warnings around sadness, depression, and heavy thoughts. Anyone who is already prone to depression or emotional heaviness should be extra intentional about rest, prayer, support, and self-care. - Be mindful of suicidal thoughts or self-destructive choices.This Odu speaks about suicide, but Baba also explained that this can be physical suicide or the way a person “kills” their own destiny through poor choices, harmful actions, or repeated self-sabotage. Be careful not to harm yourself, your Ori, or your destiny. - The ancestors are working to protect their children.This Odu speaks of ancestors saving their descendants from death. The Eggun are very active this month and may be working to protect us, guide us, and save us from danger — including danger we may create for ourselves. - Pregnant women should take precautions.This Odu speaks of possible issues around pregnancy. Any pregnant woman in the community should consider getting a reading with Baba Victor to make sure everything is spiritually aligned and that the pregnancy is protected from complications.
