The fa tradition generally has 4 stages in the life of a human being. Or at least four major consultations of the oracle which determine the life line of the individual.
The first two consultations with the oracle take place during the pregnancy of the unborn child. At 3 months of pregnancy, the first consultation confirms the presence of an unborn soul and provides information on the progress of the pregnancy. Hygiene of life and spiritual precautions to be taken are then determined. At 7 months of pregnancy, the second consultation of the oracle provides additional details regarding the sex of the child for example, or in relation to its delivery.

Between 3 days and at the latest 3 moons (traditional months) after the birth of the child, one or more consultations will help to discover what the newborn is carrying, his mission on earth, the ancestor who presided over his birth, etc. In general, a name will be given to him by his parents in relation to this information. The mode of education to be given to him also, his first character traits, positive or negative, having already been revealed .
As the child moves from childhood to adolescence, a new initiation to the fa will take place. A sort of mid-term review. The child is entering his second cycle of 7 years. Here we search among the 256 energies which animate the universe, which one dominates it. The identification of this energy which is called the sign of the fa, prescriptions will be made to it, in the form of prohibitions and recommendations. Important rituals and spiritual work will be done to establish the spiritual and material balance of the adolescent.
Beginning of the third cycle of 7 years, the child moves from adolescence to adulthood. At this time, his greatest initiation of the fa will take place. This initiation takes place in the sacred forest.
Which energy, among the 256, will now govern the individual until the end of his life? This is the expected response, which of course will confirm or deny the prohibitions and recommendations made in the previous step. This is a decisive step that traditionally involves a name change. Important spiritual work is carried out to harmonize the individual and their energetic vibration.
