Episode 105 - 3 Things I No Longer Believe About the Orisha Traditions

In this episode, I’m revisiting past teachings and breaking down three things I no longer believe about Orisha traditions. These are lessons I once shared that no longer align with my experience today. This is about growth, accountability, and learning to move with clarity instead of confusion.

Episode103: Give Your Boveda Connection The Best Environment

We've been going over the Boveda.  There are two basic camps.  Camp #1.  I love my boveda, I am so super duper connected to it... it's my spiritual haven.   AND #2.... Boveda what?  I don't feel anything.  Is this really necessary.  

We've been going through the boveda in smaller doses... coming from a person who really has been on camp 2... and working towards the full camp 1.  We are all learning together, and I am finding that this is better when we support each other in our spiritual journeys.

Episode 102: Start With A Boveda No Matter What

The Boveda has been a topic of discussion, mandates, arguments, disagreements and more.  Much more, the issue is that many of us are not that developed to truly begin to understand its importance.  I do not nor will ever claim to know everything about the boveda, but I do know this... it is very important....  In this epidosde, we begin to learn about the boveda, and approach it from a story-telling form to learn its beginnings with me.   Here is the how I began my second boveda, and we begin to go into an important aspect of the boveda.

Episode 99: From Charm to Harm: How Can Charisma and Power Lead Astray - Part 2

This episode continues the powerful conversation we began in Episode 98. Together, we look at the deeper red flags that show up in spiritual houses and communities: isolation from family, constant rule-changing, public shaming, rewards and punishments, and even the attempts by some leaders to control members’ personal lives.

These behaviors don’t only happen in Lukumí. They happen across traditions. And the most heartbreaking truth is this: intelligent, educated people can still fall into the traps of manipulation and control.

Through real stories, reflection, and straight talk, we ask the question that matters most: what is being done to protect people once the abuse is exposed? Communities want the testimonies, but often leave survivors to fend for themselves.

If you are new to Orisha traditions, or if you’ve ever wondered how to spot danger before it’s too late, this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen in, reflect, and share. Together, we can build a safer, healthier spiritual community.

Episode 98: From Charm to Harm: How Can Charisma and Power Lead Astray - Part 1

🌟 Welcome to a special journey with the Orisha Wisdom Podcast. Episode 98, 'From Charm to Harm: How Can Charisma and Power Lead Astray - Part 1,' opens a two-part conversation that begins, unexpectedly, with a song—'The World's Greatest.' This melody leads us down a rabbit hole of reflections and crucial lessons about the allure and pitfalls of charisma and power.

In this episode, we gently peel back the layers of stories that show how magnetic personalities and authoritative figures can sometimes lead us away from our truth. It's a topic that touches on sensitive areas and might be triggering for some, so we approach it with care and an open heart. Our goal is to provide insights and cautionary tales to help us navigate our paths with more awareness and to remind us that, in this community, we're all here for each other.

As we explore these themes, remember, we're not alone. The discussions here are meant to foster understanding, support, and resilience. So, let's tread this path together, learning from the past and each other, always moving towards light and wisdom.

Join me, Ivon Reborn, as we dive into this delicate but necessary dialogue. Your thoughts, your experiences, and your voice are what make this community so special. Let's continue to build this space where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported.

Thank you for being here with us. Let’s keep in touch! 🌐 www.orishawisdom.com/ivon
