Finding My Path: A Student Spotlight on Learning Ifá
For many, Ifá is a rich tapestry of tradition, spirituality, and self-discovery. Today, we meet Marie Seth, a current student at the International College of Ifá Religion and Yoruba Studies, to gain insights into their personal journey with Ifá.
What drew you to study Ifá?
Marie: “It all started with a fascination with Yoruba culture. The music, the art, the stories – it all resonated with me on a deep level. Then, I learned about Ifá, and I was captivated by the idea of a system of wisdom that could guide you through life. I wanted to understand its messages and connect with my ancestral roots.”
What has been the biggest challenge in your studies?
Marie: “Ifá is a complex system, and there’s always so much to learn. The terminology can be challenging at times, and there’s a lot of respect and protocol involved. But the biggest challenge is probably internal. It requires a commitment to personal growth and a willingness to face your own shadows.”
*How has studying Ifá impacted you personally?*
Marie: “It’s been transformative! I’ve developed a deeper sense of self-awareness and a greater understanding of the interconnectedness of everything. Ifá has also instilled a sense of responsibility – to myself, my community, and the ancestors. It’s a constant learning process, but it’s incredibly rewarding.”
*A Glimpse into the International College Experience*
Marie’s experience reflects the International College’s approach to Ifá education. The curriculum provides a structured learning environment, combining theoretical knowledge with practical applications. Students delve into the core concepts of Ifá, explore the Odu verses, and gain insights into the rich mythology of the Orishas.
