How This Course Works

Course Flow

Each week you focus on one ileke: colors, function, etiquette, permissions, and care. You complete the weekly reflection and a small self-check. This course is educational (lineage patterns remain house-specific).

Teaching disclaimer: images are for identification and study. Consecration protocols, bead counts, and house patterns are not displayed.
