I am a godchild currently based in Chicago. My godfather is planning to take me to his elder’s house in New Jersey to be crowned Shango. I have been given a quote of $30,000 for the initiation.

I want to be respectful of the tradition and the work involved, but I’ve seen lower estimates elsewhere and wanted to ask the elders here if this is a standard rate for the NJ/NY area.

The $30,000 includes:

  • Initiation for Shango (plus receiving the standard foundation Orishas)
  • All ritual tools and soperas
  • Three spiritual misas
  • Travel/logistics for my godfather from Chicago to NJ
  • Property rental
