Meet Oloye Sade Ajala: Owner, Chief Yoruba Priestess & Healing Consultant

Iya Oyawunmi Ifawemida Awosade Osunnike Ajala is a cultural guardian, spiritual teacher, and healer walking the path of Yoruba tradition across continents. Raised in Hoodoo by her grandmother and introduced to Yoruba religion in Cleveland, she began her formal studies with Iyanifa Ifalola Ifasope Osuntokun.

A Reiki Master and Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Iya Oyawunmi’s spiritual path weaves together rootwork, Orisa practice, astrology, herbalism, and ancestral healing. She was initiated to Oya in 2006 and has since completed rites in Egungun, Ifa, Osun, Egbe, and Regla de Palo (Cuba), where she is honored as Yaya Ndoki.

As founder of Ile Àṣẹ Oya Gbera, she uplifts cultural and spiritual education in the diaspora. In 2021, she received the chieftaincy title Oloye Amuwera Foya from Osogbo elders for her work in preserving Yoruba tradition globally.

Together with her husband, Babalawo Sàngówale Ajala, Iya Oyawunmi continues to advocate for cultural and ancestral liberation, inviting others to return to their roots with reverence and power.

Meet Babalawo Sàngówale Ajala

Babalawo Sàngówale Ajala was born into the heart of Yoruba tradition in Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria. The first son of esteemed batik artist and priest Oloye Sangodare Gbadegesin Ajala and Apetebi Funmilayo Arinke Ajala, his name—Sàngówale—means “the king of thunder has come home.”

Raised in the lineage of both Sango and Obatala, Sàngówale received his earliest spiritual training from his father, learning the art of herbal medicine, Erindinlogun, and the sacred wisdom of Ifa from childhood. He balanced this ancestral education with Western schooling in Osogbo and Oyo.

Now an initiated Babalawo and Sango priest with over 15 years of experience, Sàngówale has led Orisa initiations across Nigeria and the U.S., preserving the spiritual and cultural traditions of Esin Orisa Ibile with clarity, humility, and power.

Together with his wife, Iyalorisa Oyawunmi Ajala, he continues to uplift Yoruba spirituality in the diaspora—teaching, divining, and guiding others to remember who they are through the wisdom of the Orisa.
