02 Dec Blessed Month of December. The Season of Celebration, Recalibration, Detoxing and Fasting
Sanponna, Babalú-Ayé is known by several other names, including Ọbaluaye or Sopona, as revered in the Yoruba religion. In syncretism with Catholicism, especially within Cuban tradition, he is also recognized as San Lazaro or Saint Lazarus. His name, Babalú-Ayé, translates to “Father, Lord of the Earth,” indicating his significant authority over health and earthly matters.
As an Orisa Babalú-Ayé is the force that weaves the delicate balance between sickness and health, life and death. He offers healing to those in distress and is a source of comfort for the sick. On the other side, he’s believed to have the power to cause disease, a stark reminder to those who stray from righteousness.
Despite advancements in medicine, his role within spiritual circles still remains relevant. New illnesses continue to arise, challenging human efforts to control them, reminding us of Babalú-Ayé’s enduring dominion over health and illness.
Basically, Babalú-Ayé represents two important aspects of life: getting sick and striving to stay healthy. It is because he controls some of the deepest parts of life that we cannot see, that many choose to honor and worship this merciful Orisha.
Everyone is encouraged to set a sacred space in your home to perform the rituals for you, your family and friends.
All Students of Oreiiask, Priests and Priestesses of IIASK.Inc are invited to attend virtually or in person. Visit your member dashboard for more information.

The Last Full Moon of 2025
One of the most powerful aspects of this last full moon of 2025 is that this time of the year from the Full moon on December the 4th until December 24th is the time to prepare ourselves to receive the things we desire in the upcoming New Year.
Set your intentions through trance of meditation.
Sleeping, fasting, meditating and performing spiritual baths with Organic basil mixed with spearmint. Cleansing your home with
the same two herbs. You can also put it in your diffuser in your home. You may also go to my website and purchase the Yemoja meditation to aid with your spiritual rituals during this time of Divine Nurturing of self. If you want to go even deeper with your devotion you can google and look at your Fong Sui chart to see what’s your spiritual point for rituals.
The change and evolution for healing ourself comes through Babaluaiye /Saturn. In order to heal, release the pain, challenges disappointment from this past year the suffering that allowed us to grow this year, we must go back into the divine womb of Yemoja the divine mother to assist us with our efforts. Remember to sleep, restrain from distractions such as heavy meals, tv, liquor, and mind altering chemicals as you go into your sacred Shrine of your divinity.
From the 4th to the 20th fasting will prepare you for the Babaluaiye ritual and meditation for the 21-24th and then the celebration and release on the 25th of December.
