About Sandra

I was born in Edinburg, Texas. My father, born in Montana in 1914, met my biological mother in Mexico in 1979 during a business trip. She was born in 1950 and, by the time they met, already had seven or eight children from three or four different men. Despite everything, they married just 15 days after meeting.

Shortly after, I was born. Then came my younger brother. I was the youngest of the girls, and he was the youngest of all. After marrying my mother, my father retired from the oil and gas industry and found himself responsible for not only my mother’s many children but also her sister and her sister’s kids—11 more people, all depending on him. He took on that burden without hesitation.

Growing up, I lived on hand-me-downs. I was bullied for the clothes I wore and for my hair, which my mother would cut herself. I felt unwanted. My mother didn’t hide her dislike for me, and though I didn’t fully understand it then, I felt the sting deeply.

When I was 13, my father passed away in 1993 at the age of 79. Not long after, my mother told me I was a mistake. I’ll never forget those words. What kind of mother says that to her child?

After that, everything got worse. I had once believed in God, but I couldn’t understand how He could allow so much pain. I prayed—fervently—to Jesus, to God… and got nothing in return. I felt abandoned. Angry. I hated God for the suffering I endured and blamed Him for everything that went wrong.

But over time, I came to a realization: I had been wrong. God gave us free will. He isn’t responsible for the choices people make. He also gave us a gift—intuition. That gut feeling, the nervous flutter, that sense of unease—it’s meant to protect us. But most people ignore it.

Ever notice how sometimes you can’t find your keys, or you keep forgetting something on your way out? I believe that’s God intervening, delaying us for a reason. But we rush, we stress, we get angry—and then bad things happen. And who do we blame? God. Even when we had the choice all along.

We each have free will. One day, we’ll all meet our Creator and have to account for how we used that gift.

As a child, I always knew I was different. I was afraid to speak sometimes because it felt like my words made things happen. I didn’t realize then that I was spiritually gifted. At first, it felt more like a curse. I didn’t know how to handle the messages I was receiving or what they meant.

But through all the pain and suffering I experienced, I learned something powerful: I never wanted anyone to feel the way I did growing up. I made a choice not to become my mother. Instead, I learned to love unconditionally. I raised my child with the love and compassion I never received.

Years later, I met my husband, and we married in 2019. From that moment on, my life changed. It was as if Pandora’s box had been opened—and with it, my spiritual gifts fully awakened.

God—the Creator of all—blessed me with this gift. Not to keep for myself, but to use to help others in need. And that’s exactly what I’m here to do.

About Ifa Practice

One of the traditional practices of the Yoruba people is IFA worship. It is a practice which originated thousands of years ago. It is a very ancient religion of the mysteries and messages of Olodumare revealed to man by Orunmila..

Ifa is a system of divination and religion of the Yoruba people. It also refers to the verses of the literary corpus that is known as Odu Ifa.

The Grand Priest of Ifa is known as Orunmila. The belief is that Orunmila was sent to the earth by Olodumare (the creator of the universe) to bring the Laws of Olodumare into this world. History of Ifa religion According to Yoruba mythology, Ifa oracle was founded by Orunmila in lle-Ife (the city believed to be the source of the Yorubas - Orirun Ile Yoruba) after Orunmila had initiated himself and his students Aseda and Akoda..

Ifa is more of a spiritual system which is based on the belief in these three components:

Olodumare (the Creator of heaven and earth), Orisa (Nature Spirits), and the ancestors..

Olodumare According to Ife beliefs, Olodumare the Supreme Being has no gender and is not actively involved in the affairs of human beings.

Olodumare created a universe that has everything that humans need to live a fulfilled and happy life.

Orisa/orunmila/Ancestors "Every life form and element of nature has an inner soul force - including rivers, rocks, clouds, metals, flowers, thunder, and the wind." - African oral tradition. The natural forces that make up the universe are referred to as Orisa/orunmila ,and each one of them has its specific functions. The human race is in constant communication with these natural forces, whether we are aware of it on not. These Orisas serve as the intermediary between the Olodumare and humans.

There are many Orisas believed to be operating in the universe, but the basic and popular ones are:

Orisa Esu - the force or energy of opportunity.

Orisa Obatala - the force or energy of peace.

Orisa Ogun - the force or energy of the forest. It is also the spirit of dynamic creativity as it is associated with metal workers or blacksmith.

Orisa Osun - the force or energy of love and attraction of all good things on every level.

Orisa Oya - the force or energy of the wind and the force of sudden change.

Orisa Sango - the force or energy of thunder.

Orisa Yemonja or Olokun - the force/energy of the sea or oceans. These Orisas are also seen as gods.

Hence, they are referred to as the god of the force of nature they control. For example, Orisa Sango is popularly referred to as god of thunder

According to the worship of Ifa, it is Orunmila that reveals divinity and prophecy to the world. Ifa priests and priestesses are referred to as Babalawos (men) and lyanifas (women) respectively. They use "Opele" - a divining chain on the "Opon Ifa" a wooden divination tray to read divinations.

This is just a summary of what the ifa religion of the Yoruba people is all about.

IFA religion or spiritual system is not limited to the Yoruba people only It is practiced across Nigeria, West Africa and some other parts of the world. Although there might be some differences in the practices.
