Have you felt a call to something deeper?

This is not a game of fantasy, conflict, or violence. This is a sacred undertaking.

The Temple of Gu: A Seeker's Handbook is a revolutionary tabletop role-playing experience designed for one purpose: to serve as a meditative tool for psychological and spiritual exploration.

Rooted in the real-world ancestral wisdom of Ifa, Vodun, Taino, and Native American traditions, this guide translates the sacred principles of the Orisha Vodun Diaspora temple, The Temple of Gu, into a guided journey of self-discovery.

Set in a vibrant world of Afro-Indigenous Futurism, you will walk a path of "techno-theurgy" and "techno-animism"—a world where advanced technology and ancient spirituality are one, where data-streams have spirits and code can be a prayer.

Instead of fighting monsters, you will play as a Seeker on a path of initiation. Your challenges are internal:

• Cultivate Iwa-pele (Good Character), using virtues like Patience (Suuru) and Insight (Oye) as your core "stats."

• Navigate your inner world by managing your spiritual "Balance" and "Imbalance"—a unique mechanic that replaces "health."

• Practice Ebo (Reciprocity), the sacred art of making offerings to restore balance, open new paths, and heal your spirit.

This guide provides a complete system for both a solo Seeker and a group with a Guide (facilitator). It is a new way to explore timeless truths, designed to be walked with an open heart, a respectful mind, and a spirit ready to learn.

Your path is waiting. Welcome to the Temple.
