  19. Orishas are not gods. They are they intermediaries between the supreme beings, humans, and all things that possesses energy.
    Orisha are not to be worshiped. You must offer sacrifice to Orishas.
    Your first orisha is your Ori. Which means follow your own head with controls your heart.

  22. Ppl will put out respect on the Orishas names whether they like it or not, the Industry used their own gifts against them, binded them, killed off their ppl and reintroduced them to their own decieving narrative, yet use their symbols, culture, spirituality to control the masses. Made religions out of their cultures and forbade ppl from learning it on their own….deemed them demons whilst they do Rituals in our faces and manipulated us into forsaking our Source of life 😮
    Isn't that copyright, isn't that stealing of an entire legacy and misuse of good will and trust.
    Yet ppl believe Beyonce is Oshun, how?, when she is clearly Jezebelle, I want everyone awakened to the truth🎉

  23. Yes the Orisha's are real! They have never left and are making their presence more widely known! Other religions have utilized their attributes, including Christianity! The letter "J" wasn't added to the alphabet until the 15th century. The historical thieves just placed that J in front of divine God "Esu Odara" or "Eshu", i.e. J(Esus) and Y(Eshu)a and created their false image of him. Also the real reason "bless you" is said after a sneeze is because we are calling his sacred name! More and more we are being reconnected! Thank you for your acknowledgement and positive portrayal of the true God's and Goddesses!

  24. I do not know my parent Orisha, i had been searching for where im from being african american, after many dna test most say majority west African.. Nigerian to be exact and Yoruba pops up more than anything else. 4 out of 5 times it has. I have found Ifa this day…and I believe Eshu Elegua speaks and has been speaking with me for a while now. I am returning to my roots.
