Together, Oluwo Ifalowo Adeola and his Olórì are committed to serving individuals and families with integrity, compassion, and reverence for Ọ̀rúnmìlà, the Òrìṣà, the ancestors, and the sacred knowledge and discipline of Ifá.

Agbongbon Ifalowo Ojose Adéolá, also known as Marshall Hair Jr., is originally from the Tampa area and now resides in Baltimore, Maryland, with his wife, Iyalode Ifabunmi Adeola. Together, their central mission is to help create good conditions for Òrìṣà adherents and support individuals in fulfilling their purpose in Ayé.
Baba Ifalowo was raised in the COGIC faith and began his journey into the Òrìṣà tradition at fifteen years old. His first encounter with the Òrìṣà came through a Western diasporic expression of the tradition. As his path developed, he traveled to Nigeria to deepen his study of Ifá and complete his initiation into the priesthood.
Baba Ifalowo is a practicing Awó and Babaláwo, as well as a Babalórìṣà of Ọbàtálá. His mission is to help his àkápọ̀, students, and those who seek his guidance reach their highest potential and rightful position in Ayé. As a full time priest and teacher, he provides Ifá divination, Ẹbọ, spiritual guidance, ceremonies, and instruction in Ifá, Òrìṣà, and Èsìn Ìbílẹ̀.
He is the founder of DivineMotion.org, where he offers biweekly teachings for those seeking to learn more about Ìṣẹ̀ṣe and helps initiates develop the foundational knowledge needed to become disciplined and informed practitioners. Baba Ifalowo is also a member of the Ogboni International Society and holds the chieftaincy title Oluwo Iledi Omoyeni.
