This Global Priesthood image becomes a full year of
spiritual formation, ritual discipline, ancestral alignment, divination
practice, and priestly embodiment. This combines Ifa and Khemetic belief systems as practiced by some in the African Diaspora of North America.
The year is organized around the sacred seasonal gates on the North American Continent:
Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Fall Equinox, and Winter Solstice.
These gates index the major initiation pathways: Ilekes, Warriors,
Hand of Ifá, Priesthood Crowning with Khemtic Implementation.
