I do want to speak directly to New Afrikans concerning one of the most important readings we do which is called the Ipile Fa or commonly known as a Roots Reading. This is the reading whereas New Afrikans gather the pertinent spiritual, social, and mundane information reconnecting them to their Afrikan ethnic root. It is one thing to know that you are Afrikan, but even more important to know exactly where you come from. Not only does the Ipile Fa tell you this, but it also tells you such things as if your people were enslaved, if so how your people got into slavery, what kind of family you come from, what did they do, what side of the family your soul descends from, family taboos, the deity or deity type your family worshipped, the Odu or sacred spiritual sign that governs your family, kwk (this is Ki Bantu or so-called Ki Swahili short for "katha wa katha" which means "etc., etc."). Though there are not many priests trained within this system I encourage all New Afrikans, Afrikans torn away from their Afrikan motherland, to seek out priests that do this very important reading.

We offer this valuable service to New Afrikan people. Once again, a New Afrikan is any person of Afrikan descent who was not continentally born, and who more than likely ended up in the geography where he/she is due to the trauma of slavery. An additional reading that is sort of a “completion” to the Roots Reading is the Djoto Fa, or the reading that details who your sponsoring Ancestor in this world is. This is the Ancestor, descending from either side of your family line that has a direct vested interest in you. This Ancestor speaks directly through divination concerning its needs, wants, and unfinished business as it relates to the individual getting the reading. This information is added to the other reading to equip one more with spiritual direction and power to know what it REALLY means when someone brings up the statement “Knowledge of Self”. For either of these readings contact us at awo@newafrikanvodun.com.
