Well, thought I'd get in here. My name is Baba Fawesagu, Awotunde Dosunmu Yao Faseyin. I am a 36 year old proud parent of two (male child and female child). I am a Babalawo in the Ifa tradition of West Afrika. I am also a Bokonon which is like a Babalawo in the Vodun tradition. I am also a priest of Sango (kawo kabiesi) and Egungun (Ancestral Priesthood form Oyotunji Village lineage). I have a degree in marketing and I am a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer though I only contract from time to time in that profession.
I am the author of five books on Afrikan spiritual tradition and spiritual-cultural nationalism. They are:
Iwakiri: The Quest for Afrikan Spirituality
Ajo Inu: The Inner Journey Beyond the Quest
New Afrikan Vodun Vol I: Rites of Spiritual Nationalism
New Afrikan Vodun Vol II: From Kintu to Muntu
New Afrikan Vodun Vol III: A Social Discourse Towards Spiritual and Cultural Reconstitution
I give letures and workshops concerning our Afrikan tradition of Ifa-Vodun with particular emphasis on a nationalistic approach and application to the traditions which we practice and which are our birthright.
I am the founder of the Damballa New Afrikan Vodun Ancestral Order or Egbe Egúngún Vodun Adúláwö Tuntun. We also have a prison outreach called Egbê Olùrànlôwô Àwon Elêwön. I am also the founder and owner of the New Afrikan Vodun website at
