Course Summary
This is a course in the ancient indigenous Oracle system originally known as Idaasa and known in the African diaspora of Merindilogun, Erindilogun, or Dilogun. It is a method reading with 16 cowries to gain insights, spiritual diagnosis and prescriptions according to the Orisa Odu system in Esin Orisa Ibile, (Traditional Orisa Religion) It is a complimentary system, but not the same as Ifa or Dafa with used with Opele and ikin. The Orisa’s have their own historical system with their cosmology, histories, and approaches to Odu.
This course offers a rare opportunity to gain profound insights about Orisa’s , the primary Odus and learn their their stories, medicines, prescription, Orikis, and history. Additionally, an opportunity to gain more insights to the actual course and ask questions will be shared in private chat discussions with the instructor and fellow classmates.
This is a phenomenal class well received by all who have taken it. Baba Solomon's insights and patient teaching style has been a game changer for any Olorisa priest seeking to master their craft or deepen their understanding. The notes alone tend to run 8 typed pages or more for each week as they include questions that are asked in the private WhatsApp group. You get a chance to ask as many questions as you need for clarity .
Course Format:
Each week a new Odu will be explored and an opportunity to deepen your personal and professional understanding of it. Homework assignments and quizzes may be given to solidify your understanding. The course will be offered via video with chat to offer an opportunity to ask questions through the week about the Odu and beyond. You will be able to view the material for the week at your leisure.
Note: This course is a beginning Erindilogun course but not for Beginning Olorisa. Traditionally Olorisa who have had time to cultivate their relationship with their Orisa personally , completed additional rites, and are beyond their Iyawo year are who would be ready for such a training. The same holds true for those interested in the course. All applicants will be required to fill out a survey upon enrollment to assess their readiness for such a course. If they are found to not be ready, they will be issued a full refund and invited to take it upon fulfilling the necessary requirements. Course non refundable otherwise.
