The 8 Pillars of Ifá Practice at Asanee 44

At Asanee 44, we don’t believe in mystery for the sake of gatekeeping. We believe in transparency and the empowerment of the seeker. To ensure the highest level of integrity in the Ìṣẹ̀ṣe tradition, we operate according to these 8 pillars.

Yoruba Foundation

Lineage Accountability: Asanee 44 operates under the strict authority of a verifiable Ìṣẹ̀ṣe lineage. We distinguish our practice from generalized “ancestral” paths by maintaining a direct, documented tether to the tradition in Nigeria. This Ìṣẹ̀ṣe-specific accountability ensures that our work is not a synchronized interpretation. Instead, it’s a continuation of the living tradition under the oversight of our Nigerian elders. When you engage with Asanee 44, you are working with a lineage rooted in the source of the Yoruba tradition.

Physical Temple Headquarters: Asanee 44 serves as the administrative and educational headquarters for our work, while the Àtẹ̀pa Ìwòrì Temple in Nigeria serves as our physical and ritual home. We do not operate in a vacuum. Every spiritual service is anchored in the soil and the consecrated shrines of our temple. This structure ensures that your ritual work is performed on legitimate, traditional ground, providing a direct and verifiable pipeline to the source of the Ìṣẹ̀ṣe tradition.

Inner Alignment

Orí Alignment: At Asanee 44, we recognize that your Orí is your personal divinity. It is the spiritual force that overrides all other forces in your life. Our practice is centered on the principle that without internal alignment, ritual work is ineffective. Consequently, every Ifá divination session, as well as every ebo and teaching at Asanee 44, is performed or delivered with the primary purpose of aligning you with your Orí. We ensure that your spiritual work is not just a routine act but a targeted effort to harmonize your life path with your divine blueprint.

Ìwà pẹ̀lẹ́ (Character) Development: At Asanee 44, we hold the refinement of character as the ultimate goal of Ìṣẹ̀ṣe. Spiritual power and ritual proficiency are secondary to cultivating a gentle and good character. We prioritize your holistic growth because we believe that any practice that does not help you evolve in every way is incomplete. Our work is designed to ensure that you develop the discipline and integrity necessary to sustain your spiritual blessing.

Educational Sovereignty

Didactic Learning: At Asanee 44, we believe that spiritual growth requires a structured understanding of the tradition. We provide ongoing formal education through the Asanee 44 Àṣẹ Academy livestreams, our Odu Ifá blog series, and structured learning through the African Spirit Academy. By making this knowledge accessible, we ensure you have a deep, theoretical foundation to support your Ifá practice.

Practical Education: At Asanee 44, we believe you should be empowered to engage with the tradition on your own terms. If you receive a spiritual tool or device from us, it is our obligation to teach you how to work with it. We provide the specific knowledge you need to understand what the tool is and how to maintain it. This approach ensures you possess the practical sovereignty needed to manage your Ifá journey with confidence and competence.

Professional Integrity

Price Transparency & Standardized Logistics: At Asanee 44, we prioritize financial integrity and professional record-keeping. We provide clear, fixed pricing for our services and utilize streamlined merchant gateways to process all transactions. This ensures that every client receives a secure, documented, and professional financial experience. We offer a transparent structure that allows you to integrate into your Ifá journey with confidence and security.

Professional Accountability: Asanee 44 holds its operations to external standards of ethics and professional conduct through Better Business Bureau (BBB) accreditation. Furthermore, our founder, Dr. Asanee Brogan, maintains professional standing as a Verified Noomii Coach and a Brainz Magazine Executive Contributor. This combination of professional accountability ensures that we are answerable to established external benchmarks of excellence. This structure provides our clients with a layer of protection and the assurance that they are engaging with a reputable and highly vetted organization.

Integrity in the Ifá Tradition

The 8 Pillars of Ifá Practice at Asanee 44 are not just guidelines. They are a way of life and the foundation upon which we build every interaction. By bridging the gap between ancient Ìṣẹ̀ṣe tradition and modern professional standards, we ensure that your Ifá journey is handled with the reverence, transparency, and accountability it deserves. We are committed to your sovereignty and your alignment, providing you with a clear and secure path as you navigate your destiny.
