A form of exploitation in Orisha religion where a priest will initiate ("crown") a large number of people in a short amount of time and have new initiates begin initiating others before they have been properly trained (it takes years) to increase ceremony volume and before the initiate has had the opportunity to sit with the initiated energy on their head. The goal of crown farming is to create a workforce under the first priest that funnels ceremonial fees to them despite the spiritual harm caused to the undertrained new initiate until the spiritual house stabilizes. Note: No iyawo still in their ceremonial whites for the first year should be initiating others. Cuchio (sacrificial knife rites) are given after years of training and service.
