It is up to Ifa to determine if someone should be initiated, of course, but when someone is willing to pay big money, it seems Ifa don't know how to say no. What I'm saying is, brother DM is right, but the fake priests will simply lie about whether or not it was divined for the person to get initiated in order to get at the loot.
As for Niemark the Jew, he is a perfect example of what happens. First, some Cuban initiated him. Then , Epega sold him, without permission, his family's Odu pot. I don't know if y'all can appreciate the magnitude of that transgression. So now this clown Niemark performs "bloodless initiations," because Ifa told him he had evolved so highly that he can do it. So, like Tarzan, this ******* jew becomes a better Afrikan than the Afrikan. He tells his initiates that they don't need to bother with Odu. There is no drumming, dancing or even chanting of Oriki during an initiation. Which any practicioner knows, chanting of oriki is how we access ase, Orisha, etc. They kill animals, pour as much blood as possible all over the place, and then throw the animal in a ditch. Their is no meal prepared. It's all about making money. this shows their total lack of knowledge regarding the use and function of ebo. It is disgusting. They live in a big house in an exclusive all white neighborhood, drive expensive cars, take elaborate vacations (never to Afrika), etc. They prey on middle aged white woman who mix Yoruba with native American, wiccan, and any other technology they can get their hands on, gay latinos who can't get initiated by Cubans, and emotionally messed up black folks, who think YT is their friend.
It is truly sickening.
