How do you find a babalao priest?

To find a babalao priest, you can start by researching local Afro-Caribbean religious communities, particularly those practicing Ifá or Santería. Attend cultural events or gatherings where practitioners may congregate, and seek recommendations from trusted individuals within the community. Online forums and social media groups dedicated to Afro-Cuban spirituality can also provide leads. It's essential to approach this search respectfully and with an open mind, as these traditions are deeply rooted in cultural significance.

U have to go see a babalao(the priest). He will do a "reading" for you(or also known as "throw the shells"). He will tell you if somebody has put a "spell" on you, the nature of it and give you some kind of description of who it was. Then he will tell you what you have to do to lift that "spell"( there are different levels of strength for the "spells", therefore different levels of ways to lift them (or clean you of them).

The marking of the head can be done when you receive your mano de orunla, it is advised that the person who is doing such should already have godparents.� i have heard some people go and receive orunla with out having elekes, which would mean that they don't have any godparent representation, normally this is not very recommended.
