Ancestral Eyes E29 welcomes Iyanifa Oorun O Mocu (AdeDoyin OloOsùn) with your hosts Teresa Sliwinski and Jean-Jerome C. Baudry!

Adedoyin was born in Mexico DF to a family of Apache Shamans originally from San Antonio, Texas area and was exposed to native beliefs from an early age. Her grandfather on her mom’s side was from Japan and her mom was Apache. She always had “the gift” of sight. At an early age, she was chosen and went through the traditional rights of las Guares Brujas Negras (Black Witches/Skinwalker). Then she was initiated as a Shamaness within Aztecan indigenous group. At age 16 due to her spiritual gifts and mediumship, she was trained by a powerful medium denoted as Vaso.

Later she was exposed to and initiated in Palo Mayombe in California ultimately becoming a Yaya Nkissi Malongo. She then entered an Afro-Cuban Òrìsà and Ifá Ile where she was crowned to Ọṣun and became an Olorìsà priestess. Her spiritual development and journey did not stop there, eventually seeking out an Ifá lineage from Oyo, Nigeria and being initiated to Iyanifá. She has initiated many godchildren to Palo, and Òrìsà over the years and has earned the respect of her community in California. She is viewed as a spiritual mentor and has been active in studying and comparing various belief systems. She is also the owner and operator of a Botanica in Ontario California.
