Bendiciones, my name is Porsche Little and I am an Aborisha in the Ifa tradition.

I have this section because I wanted to get a bit personal and share about my journey into the tradition.

Both of my parents were never religious but my mother was always very spiritual. She taught me how to communicate with my guides and ancestors at a very young age, so I grew up always talking to Spirits. Whether I was venting or asking them for protection I had a healthy relationship with my spirit guides because I always felt inclined to nurture that side of myself. 

As a young kid, I frequently experienced powerful dreams and I learned I had the gift of Astral Projection by the time I was 15. Although I wasn’t too aware of my gifts, I remained super curious, and I believe that was what truly opened me up to the realm of magic.

I would experiment with candles, protection spells, or even do silly things like attempt to cast a love spell to see how things would turn out. Although I learned that magic could be fun, I also learned that discretion and discernment were just as important.

As I got older, I got more interested in different realms of magic, and that is how I met IFA and the Lukumi tradition.

As a black woman, reconnecting with my Ancestors and Orisha is so important to me because everything I was taught was “demonic” has now shown that it can help change my life for the better.

I am so thankful to be apart of a generation where American Africans are finding out about the importance of being connected to our roots.

For it is from the root, we will be freed.
