Isese L'Abga is an ancestral spiritual tradition which comes from the Yoruba people of Nigeria, West Africa. We as Oni'se (people of tradition) are earth-centered practitioners focused on bringing forth "The Good Condition", making this plane of existence a better place one day at a time. Our tradition has been practiced for thousands of years and has been passed down orally throughout those years. To bring this idea closer we will hear what Odu IFA (Holy Corpus of IFA) says about the matter of tradition and destiny.
 

Isese L'Agba 

​

Òsá Olóyàán (Òsá Ìretè)

​

The flood has no hoe 

It uses its mouth to dig the ground until it reaches the red soil

This was the Ifa cast for Isese, Traditionalism

Who was the highest form of worship 

One’ mother is one’s Isese

One‘s father is one‘s Ìsese 

One‘s Ori is one‘s Ìsese

Olòdùmarè is one‘s Ìsese

Isese is first propitiated in Ife before receiving all blessings

Let us propitiate Isese, the father of all propitiations

​

IFA says in the sacred Odu - Osa Irete - that Tradition is what's needed to have alignment in our lives. Tradition gives us order, Tradition teaches us to respect and honor our Parents and Elders, our Destiny, as well as Olodumare and Orisa. If we are looking for alignment it is Isese we should search for.

​

Let us do things with joy.
Those who want to go, let them go.
Those who want to stay, let them stay.
Surely, humans have been chosen to bring good into the world.
The all-knowing one, priest of Òrunmìlà,
Cast Ifá for Òrunmìlà.
He said the people of the world would come to ask him a certain question.
He said that Òrunmìlà should sacrifice.
Òrunmìlà heard and complied.
One day, all kinds of people; good people and those who do not allow good
in other people’s lives gathered together.
They then went to Òrunmìlà.
They said coming back and forth to earth tires us, Òrunmìlà.
Therefore, please allow us to rest in heaven.
Òrunmìlà said you cannot avoid going back and forth to earth
Until you bring about the good condition that Olódùmarè has ordained
for every human being.
After then, you may rest in heaven.

Ifa says in this holy Odu that all Humans are here to accomplish one goal and that is to bring Orun (Heaven) to Aye (Earth), until we have changed the world from ayewo to ire, from negativity to positivity, we will continue our journey as humans on earth. As Oni'se, practitioners of Ifa, we know that Heaven is Home but Earth is just a Marketplace. We are here to accomplish a mission that we have chosen in heaven. It is Ifa who knows this mission and it is tradition that gives us the protocols to stay alignment with our destiny. All of our deeds will be accounted for in the end.
