ABOUT THE LETTER OF THE YEAR 2025

The Letter of the Year is the most important ceremony of the Osha Ifá Rule. It is a prediction made from a complex oracular system, aimed at achieving harmony and balance. The prediction of the Letter of the Year consists of recommendations and warnings to avoid negative unforeseen events and navigate the coming year with ashé.

This tradition has been released in Cuba since the 19th century, with the first Cuban babalawo being Remigio Herrera, Obara Méjì, Adeshina, of African origin. This legacy continues in the Cabildo de Yemayá, established in his house in Regla.
