ITUK Annual Ìṣẹ̀ṣe Day 2025

Wednesday, 20th August

What is Ìṣẹ̀ṣe?

Isese is our tradition—our way of life. It is the foundation of our identity, the path of our ancestors, upon whose shoulders we stand so we may rise even higher.

Let us explore the wisdom of Odù Ifá and what it reveals about Ìṣẹ̀ṣe—what it truly means and why it is sacred.

Odù Ifá:

"Àgbàrá kò lókọ́

Ó fi ẹnu gbẹ́lẹ̀ ó kan ìlèpa dòdòòdò

Díá fún Ìṣẹ̀ṣe tí ńṣe olórí Ìṣòrò n'Ífẹ̀

Ìyá ẹni Ìṣẹ̀ṣe ẹni ni

Bàbá ẹni Ìṣẹ̀ṣe ẹni ni

Orí, Ìṣẹ̀ṣe ẹni ni...

Olódùmarè, Ìṣẹ̀ṣe ẹni ni

Ìṣẹ̀ṣe làá bọ n'Ífẹ̀ ká tóó ri'íre

Ẹ jẹ́ ká bọ Ìṣẹ̀ṣe bàbá ètùtù."

This sacred Odù teaches us that Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is our mother, our father, our destiny (Orí), and the very essence of Olódùmarè. To find prosperity and balance, we must first honor Ìṣẹ̀ṣe—the ancestral wisdom of Ifẹ̀.

Let us pay homage to Ìṣẹ̀ṣe, the eternal tradition of our forebears.
