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.
The course year is not only academic. It is ritualized through the solar year. Each seasonal gate marks a major shift in consciousness, responsibility, and priestly readiness and reversibility.
The initiate is oriented to sacred identity, devotion, moral character, lineage, and the first visible covenant with the Orisha current and Neteru sphere. These form the back bone of the Khemetian Tree of Life.
The initiate learns discipline, protection, sacred boundaries, direction, action, and the difference between Ajagun training pressure and Ajogun affliction. Balance is enforced. Truth is flanked.
The initiate enters disciplined divination, memory, perception, sacred speech, Odu orientation, and right relationship with destiny. Integration of Oracles is wisdomic.
The initiate integrates ancestors, ritual authority, service, royal responsibility, community accountability, and priestly embodiment. On the shoulders of enlightened ancestors, in the presence of Wise Elders.
The 52-week expansion gives each the spiritual center time to become study, ritualize, practice, community serve, and demonstrate embodiment.
