In my Palo Mayombe religion it is the same as well, when an individual is presented to the main Nganga it is the Tata who confirms with the Nkobos if (1) Palo is in this individuals path and (2) if that particular lineage and rama is for the individual. These potent Afrikan Traditional Religions is not for everyone including certain black and latin folks. Just because your called to Ifa doesn’t mean Palo is in your path, just because your white and you can do witchcraft or wicca tricks doesn’t mean The Vodou is in your path, It is the decision of the spirits of that spiritual house who has the last word on who gets inititated.
