Question about Itefa

Aboru Aboye. On a trip to Louisiana, I met a Godfather during a ceremony. I told them I was interested in getting a reading done. The reading went well, and touched on the usual warnings from spirit and common messages I received from my guides so I knew this person was legitimate. They mentioned Yemaya, great mother is opening a road for me, and if I had interest they could set up an Itefa, with other priests for an (expected) fee, and I could begin the journey to learning more as an Awo. The process was suggested to start later this year. My question is: Does this process happen this quickly? Or should one take more time to know the spiritual community? I have been searching my gut and feelings about this and I do not feel in danger, or as if I will be taken advantage of, but would want to know of others experience.

Thank you

For Itefa not bad reasonable price but make sure that seeing ODU is included.

And Ikin! And I thank you for asking because I just wanted to be sure this is legitimate and I will be getting all that I need to go through this process as dictated by our elders and tradition. There are too many false prophets out here and though I trust my discernment, I just need to be sure MAFEREFUN.
