Afrikan Marketplace Atlanta

Home of Ilé Ẹgbẹ́ Tíwalàdé

Fayetteville, Georgia · a cultural house since 2005

We are an African centered spiritual group led by individuals who help by serving.

Ilé Ẹgbẹ́ Tíwalàdé
The house has a name behind it

Ìyálọ́ṣa Ọ̀ṣun Tinibu

Priestess of Ọ̀ṣun · founding elder of Ẹgbẹ́ Tíwalàdé

She was brought to Ifá at five years old, alongside her parents, who are priests in the tradition as well. She is the oldest of their seven children.

In 2005 she led the collective that founded Ẹgbẹ́ Tíwalàdé. The house describes itself as one of the largest ẹgbẹ́ in Atlanta, and she has spent it as a champion for the indigent and marginalised in the African community.

What do you need?

Start with the trouble, not the material

The shelves

Named the way the house names them

Written in this house

Not stocked — authored

Three titles on Ifá and the odù, by Nia Jones-Morgan. A shop that produces doctrine is a different kind of shop, and this is the part of the shelf nobody else on the road can carry.

Who and What are the Òrìṣà? A Handbook for the Layman

Written for the person who has started asking and has nobody to ask. It sets out how the Òrìṣà are understood to manifest and to bear on a life, without assuming the reader already knows the vocabulary.

On the shelf →

Mérìndínlógún Folktales: Morals of Yorùbá Odù Relating to Today’s Lifestyles

Mérìndínlógún and Ifá are the oracular systems the odù come through. These are the stories carried inside them, told so the moral lands on a life being lived now rather than on one lived a long time ago.

Ìrònti Àpọ̀nni Méjì: Remembrance of Two Flatterers

One odù, told at length. Listed on the shop’s own shelf.

Ìlẹ̀kẹ̀ — the colour paths

Every Òrìṣà is known by their colours

The strands are worn, and they are sold. Which strand goes on whose neck, and who strings it, is not a shopping decision — that is settled in consultation, which is why those sit under by consultation rather than in a cart.

Readings, without the wait

A calculated reading from a real birth chart — Swiss Ephemeris positions, houses and aspects, not a horoscope generator. It runs while the shop is closed, and it ends by naming what to burn, wear or carry from the shelf above.

It opens on what is rare in the chart, not on the sun sign, and only states something plainly when several independent parts of the chart agree. Where the evidence is thin, it says so.

This is astrology, and it is not divination. It reads a sky at a birth moment. It does not cast, it does not bring an odù, and it is not ìdáfá or mérìndínlógún — for those you sit with a priest, and the house will arrange it.

In your voice

The Gentle Read — default

Plain language, no jargon. Herbal and Orisha guidance.

The Deep Read

Full technical breakdown. Signs, houses, aspects, degrees.

The Working

Zero astrology terms. Pure practical ritual and remedy.

In your tradition

Lucumí / Santería (Orisha)Ifá (Yoruba)

Closed traditions are spoken in resonance, never assignment — a chart carries a signature, and anything binding goes to an initiated priest. That is what keeps this a shop the community defends.

Arranged, not ordered

Ìmọ̀ràn · ẹbọ · ìsọmọlórúkọ

Every one of these is booked with a person and prepared for the person. None of it has an add-to-cart button, and none of it should.

Ìdáfá / Ìbọ̀

Ifá divination

Casting and reading with the ọ̀pẹ̀lẹ̀ or ìkin, and the ẹbọ that follows from what falls.

Mérìndínlógún

Sixteen-cowrie divination

Read with the cowries. The odù that comes is the answer, and the prescription comes with it.

Ìsọmọlórúkọ

Naming ceremony

A child receives their name in front of the house. Named in the ẹgbẹ́’s own list of what it offers.

Ẹbọ omi

Spiritual bath

Prepared for the person, from what the reading asked for. Not a bottle off a shelf.

Ìtọ́jú ilé

Cleansing a home

Done at the house, not sold as a kit.

Ìmọ̀ràn

Consultation and counselling

Named in the ẹgbẹ́’s own list. The elder is a trained spiritual counsellor as well as a diviner.

First time here?

You do not need to know the words, and you will not be asked what you are. Say what brought you; someone will tell you whether it is something off the shelf or something that needs a reading first.
