Interesado en la tradición de Ifá: Busco orientación y contacto con un Babalawo serio para consulta inicial / Newcomer seeking guidance

Español:

Buenas a todos. Recientemente he empezado a investigar sobre la sabiduría de Orunmila y la tradición de Ifá, y me interesa acercarme con el debido respeto.

Quisiera saber cómo dar los primeros pasos de forma correcta. Mi objetivo actual es coordinar una primera consulta oracular con un Babalawo serio y con linaje legítimo, ya sea de forma presencial en mi zona o a distancia.

Agradezco de antemano cualquier recomendación de casas religiosas serias o consejos para quien está empezando desde cero. Muchas gracias por su tiempo y orientación.

English:

Hello everyone. I have recently begun learning about Orunmila and the Ifá tradition, and I would like to approach this path with full respect.

I am looking for guidance on how to properly take my first steps. My main goal right now is to schedule an initial consultation (divination) with a serious and reputable Babalawo (either Lucumí or Isese), whether locally or via distance reading.

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for legitimate lineages, reputable elders, or advice for someone starting from scratch. Thank you for your time and help.

What im doing wrong?

I've been trying to land my first freelance projects on Workana and Upwork for two months now, but I haven't had any luck. On Workana, I paid for a three-month plan and have already sent around 70 proposals, almost exhausting the included bids without any results. On Upwork, I sent about 20 proposals and none received a response, so I'm running out of Connects to keep applying. Outside of these platforms, I also tried contacting over 40 small businesses directly with outdated or poorly optimized websites, but I didn't get any replies either (I showcased work I'd already done for other companies). I feel completely stuck and I don't know what's wrong with my strategy. I would greatly appreciate any advice or feedback from experienced freelancers on what I should adjust at this stage.

I'm confused and a little frustrated.

I recently created a fantastic OSINT application. I searched for all the available open-source, free-tier resources to build it, and it's basically a beast. But I don't know how to leverage it. I tried offering reviews to companies with a strong online presence, but they don't listen. I offer them a free demo of their most significant leaks, and if they want more details, I offer a comprehensive report for $80. This report, which my application automates, includes a map of the internet infrastructure, the IPs they expose or share with other servers or hosts (I censor these for security reasons in the report, only including the last three digits of the IP address at the end), and everything else. In my country, they're very closed-minded about this, and I don't know what to do. I want to look for job opportunities abroad, but they won't trust someone who comes from another country to tell them you have a problem with your website and that you're exposing too much. I want to work in cybersecurity, but I can't get in anywhere, even though I've been involved in the field for a while. I'm currently a Full-Stack Developer at my company, and they won't even accept me into the SOC. What do you recommend I do or try?

This is a brief summary of what my application does:

It identifies everything a company leaves exposed on the internet without touching a single one of its systems. You give it a domain (for example, company.com), and in minutes, it checks dozens of public sources to create a complete picture of its digital exposure:

  • Its infrastructure: subdomains, servers, technologies, and where it's hosted.
  • Its email: whether it's well protected against phishing.
  • Its leaks: leaked passwords, forgotten access keys in public code, or exposed files. Your real risks: known vulnerabilities, fake websites impersonating your brand, and more.

But it doesn't stop at a list of problems. The platform:

  • Assigns a clear risk score (0 to 10) and separates serious from irrelevant issues, without triggering false alarms.
  • Indicates the level of certainty for each finding (confirmed, probable, or possible).
  • Monitors changes month by month: notifying you of new issues and fixes.
  • Generates a report ready for delivery.

It's 100% passive: it works only with publicly available information, without intrusion or legal risk. It handles everything from finding the company and analyzing its exposure to communicating it clearly and professionally, all in one place.

What should I do?
