Mérìndínlógún: Òrìsà Divination Using 16 Cowries: Revised and Extended Edition
AWO FÁLÒKUN FATUNMBI BIOGRAPHY In 1984 I received omolawo from Awo Fágbèmí Fásínà and started the process of studying Ifá.  Five years later, in 1989 I made my first trip to Ode Remo in the Ijebu region of Ogun State Nigeria.  During that trip I was fully initiated into Ifá by Araba Adésànyà, Awóyadé, and the members of Egbe Ifá Ogunti Ode Remo.  At that time my training started under the guidance of Awo Wasu and Títílayò Adésànyà.  I returned to Ode Remo in 1991 to finish the Tefá (Ifá initiation) process by completing the three month ebo that seals Ifá initiation.  At that time I was also initiated as a member of Ògbóni which is a traditional judicial council in Ode Remo.  One year later in 1992 I was initiated into the mysteries of Ògún by the elders of Ile Ife and was given permission by my elders to perform Òrìsà initiations.  I have subsequently made a total of six trips to Nigeria as part of the training process and in the year 2000 I was given permission by my elders to perform Ifá initiations.  While pursuing my studies I have founded Ifá communities in California, New York, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Illinois, Florida, Oregon, Indiana, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Mexico, Columbia, Uruguay, Venezuela, Ukraine, Russia, Japan, Holland, and Italy.  In 2000 I founded the Awo Study Center for the purpose of providing training in the sacred technology of Ifá/Òrìsà as it has been preserved by the elders of Ode Remo and Ilé Ifè.  Awo Study Center provides study material, classes, workshops and a website for learning the fundamental prinicipals of Ifá/Òrìsà theology and ritual practice. In 2004 I co founded Ilé Osomi'na with Oloriya Fasegun Fatunmbi. Ilé Osomi'na sponsors classes, provided traditional initiations, publishes Ifá related training material and gives personal guidance to the extended family of those who have been initiated by Ilé Osomi'na.
