The ceremony
of Olofin is one of the highest ceremonies that a Babalawo can receive.
It is generally received by Babalawos of the highest hierarchy. It´s
a short ceremony that lasts one day. One of the most concerning things
about this ceremony is that many Babalawos say they have Olofin when
they really don´t. Then they give Olofin to other Babalawos hurting
them by doing so. These Babalawos, not knowing that they don´t
have Olofin, also give Olofin, generating a chain of Babalawos that
think thay have Olofin. This is why I personally recommend to study
the family´s genealogy to make sure that the Olofin you receive
is good. |
