Who is Olori ~
 
"I have been initiated to the Egungun “a-goon-goon” (ancestral society in Oyatunji Afrikan Village in South Carolina (April 1998), and initiated and ritually trained in Dahomey/Benin Republic to Oya (January 1999) and Sango (August 2000). Elevated & Coronated as Queen "LaReine/Olori" March 2003 in Benin Republic. Initiated to Ifa (May 2014), lastly, I was initiated to the Ogboni Society (October 2018).
 
Iya is one of the elders of Dawtas of the Moon.
 
As an Oya priestess she has taken me to many parts of West Africa and in various parts of the world; however, there is no place like home ~Dahomey.
My teachings of Orisa worship has been taught to me by my Elders in both Dahomey and Nigeria and by my late Godmother Iyalosa Osunbamike Aduke (ibae). Currently, my Oluwo the former Araba of Ekiti State is Kabiyesi Chief Bode Fasuyi who is based in California.

Our Temple

 

Ile Osa Meji Temple is located in Baltimore, MD and was founded by yours truly! This ile is govern by Oya, Sango, & Orunmila (IFA).

 

This is a working ile that is very involved in doing spiritual work to uplift the community such as free healing sessions, community ancestral veneration, donating clothing and supplies to those in need and all other manner of community services.

 

Each member if the temple is required and has committed to learning and growing spiritually in accordance with the tenants of IFA. 

 

In Ile Osa Meji, we learn about venerating our ancestors and worshipping the Orisa, obi & dilogun divination, how to make spiritual baths, prayers, songs, dances and rituals.  As one's Godmother, it is my goal to unlock one's spiritual gifts to cultivate, nourish & eventually share with the ATR community. Lastly, those godchildren that have gone through initiation (oosa) are taught the deeper mysteries of the religion to prepare them for one day being Godparents of their own with their own ile, godchildren and clients.

 

To become a member of this temple, you must have a divination/reading with me, make your intentions known and we will have that discussion at that appropriate time.

 

"Olori has helped me in so many ways with just a reading and divination. It's amazing how she can help really get to the bottom of things as far as my head Orisa and how to set up my ancestors altar."
