About Ydi "Aye Oba"
Ydi brings with her several consecrations including as a Shaman & High Priestess, also over three decades of trainings in working with spiritual realms & energies. Born in Cuba but raised in South Florida since the age of 15 months old, she always retained a connection to her roots. She comes from a biological & spiritual ancestry rich in spirituality. Both grandfathers were renowned healers & readers in Cuba. Daughter of an Ifa High Priest & Yemaya Iyaloricha (Yoruban High Priestess) she has been immersed in the shamanic teachings from an early age. When she was chosen to be initiated she met with & studied under many highly respected elders. She found her spiritual home in Guanabacoa, Cuba, coincidently close to where she was born. Her lineage could be traced back to one of the very first females to ever be consecrated a male deity (Shango/Chango/Xango) in the Yoruban Pantheon. Originally women could only be consecrated with Female Deities. Ydi herself was to be consecrated with Shango & loved the richness of this lineage. With it she had to relinquish many comforts & undergo strictly rigorous initiation rites which at twenty years old meant so much more, she felt she preferred all of it over sacrificing the rawness & purity of the rites. Along with these rites she was also initiated into Palo Mayombe which originated in the Congo & was brought to Cuba by slaves much earlier than the Yoruban practices. In this branch she also was initiated to the highest levels as a Nguda Nkita (Madre Nganga) which conferred upon her the rites to not only initiate others but also work/heal in the realms of spirit & living equally. She also brings years of dedicated studies and formal training in Astrology which she utilizes to provide in-depth astrological insights and services. A teacher by heart & vocation, her greatest pleasure is awakening in others their inner thirst for knowledge & growth. She also considers herself the eternal student, “Be it from my spiritual or academic students, I am always learning from each soul I come in contact with.”
Mission
To empower the divine within. Each person’s journey is unique, there is not one prescribed path. We each have our own karmas & lessons along with missions in this current incarnation. I have worked with people from an extensive array of religious & cultural backgrounds. All of which should be taken into account, for regardless if we continue to (associate/relate/connect) to it, they are part of our design & have a point of reference on our path. As a Spiritual Mentor I can assist you in unraveling your own Spiritual Road Trip. I do this by helping you connect to your higher self. As a Shaman & High Priestess I can help identify & clear any energetic blockages that are in the way of your growth & connecting to self. I do this through readings & then prescribing individualized clearings/cleanses if needed.
