Hey Family!
I sat down with priestess and spiritual practitioner Iya Ajewole Osundara for a lively discussion blending spirituality, pop culture, and real talk. A time was had! Get into this episode where we talk about:
Spiritual Paths: Iya’s journey from candle magic to becoming an Iyanifa, and the realities of Orisha practice.
Community Wisdom: Misconceptions about initiation, vetting elders, and why discernment matters more than ever.
Ancestral Work: Simple steps to begin (or deepen) your practice, plus why spiritual baths are non-negotiable.
Beyond the Altar: Iya’s love for romance novels, wrestling drama, and anime—and how hobbies keep her grounded.
Social Media Spirituality: The dangers of "instant guru" culture and honoring the "long game" of tradition.
Funny, unfiltered, and full of gems—perfect for seekers and seasoned practitioners alike.
Some of Iya’s favorite romance authors:
Jahquel J - The Delgato series
Summer O’Toole - The Omega Trials
Shanora Williams - The Tether Trilogy
Black Romance Bookfest 2025
