We believe that Olodumare - God Almighty is the Creator of the universe and all things in it.
We share a profound respect for the sacred wisdom of the African faith and in the Orisa tradition.
We believe that Olodumare is the ONE, who breathes the life force into man and woman that makes them viable, rational and intelligent individuals.
We believe that Olodumare assigns destiny and controls it.
We listen and speak to each other with respect in order to deepen mutual understanding and trust.
We address conflict through reconciliation and non-violence as a path to healing.
We seek and offer cooperation with other interfaith organizations.
We welcome, as friends, those who subscribe to our purpose and principles.
We deliberate and make decisions in a manner honoring diversity, democracy and the Yoruba practice of patience, suuru.
We, as members of HATTAF International maintain the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct.
HATTAF International follows the ancient practice of the 5th day Ose and 17th day Itadogun, libation, kolanut breaking, divination and ritual ceremonies. The 17th day libation ceremony and ritual bring together each of the HATTAF branches for a shared international spiritual experience. Moreover, the Itadogun sermons, lessons and teachings are based on divination and not the coordinating priest's inclinations.
HATTAF International invites omos of all of the Orisas and non-practitioners interested in personal spiritual development to attend our Itadoguns.
