Each divination session becomes a reenactment of cosmic interactions, making Afa not just spiritual, but fundamentally astronomical.

Whether bringing guidance, correction, or confirmation, these dream figures remind us that we are never alone in our path, our spirit companions walk with us, often disguised in familiar faces.

Associated with ether, prophecy, and primordial creative energy (Omumu), Five represents the threshold between the invisible and the visible. This teaching explores how ISE functions as the divine number of expression, urging us to reveal, embody, and manifest the sacred purpose we carry within.
