How It Works

Omo Irunmole,
Welcome to The Yoruba Traditional Religion site. This site is also known as Ibile Faith Online Congregation. Ibile means tradition while Faith stands for belief.
The aim of this site is to provide online spiritual and religious services to the members and the practitioners of Yoruba religion worldwide.
The Ibile Faith Online Congregation will be under the leadership of Prince(Babalawo)Adigun Olosun.MA,PGDJ, who is also the priest of Ogun, Sango, Oke, Egbe, Ori, Osun, Obatala, etc.
The offices and temples of the congregation are in Osogbo-Nigeria, the home base and Muenster-Germany, the international headquarters.
How it works:
  • One-to-one communication:People needing help can contact the priest either privately by e-mail, phone, fax or through our forum if they want public response.
  • There will be weekly Irunmole worship-Ose with lessons.
  • There will be monthly Irunmole general worship(Itadogun) with lectures.
  • There will be a discussion forum for the members to participate in discussing their latest views on the state of our religion.
  • Featuring of latest news on our religion.
  • Initiation, divination, healing and core religious learning require personal contact with the priest.
  • End-of-the-year(December) spiritual and religious services will be taking place in Germany and members are free to attend and those who cannot attend can request for the new year divination through online services. General message for the YTR practitioners will be relayed immediately after the end of the service.
  • Initiation can only take place in Nigeria in July/August, every year or by special request as time permits.
  • Irunmole festivals take place in Germany-June, Nigeria-July yearly.
  • Every member who needs spiritual/religious services must get it within 24 hours.
  • Members should have sense of congregation and see themselves as one.
  • All contents on this online congregation must be strictly Irunmoles. Only what Irunmole wants. Personal views should have personal tag.
  • To some extent, child-naming ceremony, marriages and other ceremonies can be made online.
  • Membership is open to anybody who believes in YTR worldwide.
  • It is purely Yoruba religious site.
  • After the demise of the leader, the Ibile Faith Congregation Online can come together to choose able priest or priestess as leader.
  • Every member of the congregation is free to ask any question concerning the activities of the congregation.
  • The congregation should run open-door policy.
  • All founding members of the congregation should be recognised for their pioneers' sacrifice and their foresight.
  • Propagation of Irunmole, and to benefit oneself from Irunmole ways are the paramount aims of this online congregation.
  • Doing everything for the sake of Irunmole as assigned by the Ibile Faith Online Congregation.
  • Exchanging ideas and opinion based on Yoruba Traditional Religion.
Funding will be by members' contributions, donations and sponsors. We hope that donations can be claim back through tax.

All these points can be remodified or cancelled, everything depends on your contribution. I pray that Irunmole would guide all of us well in order for us to make good decision for them.
