Just like the Yorùbá words changes when food process changes e.g Elubo ~ Àmàlà
Garri ~ Eba
Àgbàdo ~ Ògì
Iṣu ~ Iyan
So it is in every Yorùbá words
Ọfọ̀, Ògèdè, Àyájọ́ and Àásán are all incantations in English but Yorùbá ancestors differentiated it name according to how it being used and then t literal meaning
We created our own dictionary

I use my all my platforms to promote Ifá. Nobody pays for it, only my work, which is also Ifá.
Promoting is not selling, is showing the greatness of something.
I don’t earn anything from doing so but peace of mind from giving credit to what is giving me an amazing life experience.
Baianas are Yorùbá descendants in Brazil and cultural guardians of the Afro-Brazilian religion, Candomblé, which is rooted in Yorùbá spirituality.
In Nigeria and other parts of West Africa, these high priestesses are known as Ìyalórìṣà or Ìyánífá. Different continents same culture and spirituality. 🤍
TO THOSE WHO HAVE EARS, LEND ME YOUR EARS O 📢📢📢📢📢
Your ancestors(Eégún) are family members who have gone before you, paving the way for your life today.
If someone is telling you that you can physically see your ancestors(eégún), don't be fooled. They are lying to you. They are just trying to take advantage of you. It is not a good sign to see your ancestors.
If you start seeing them, it could mean trouble is brewing or they need you to honour them properly. And you should not hesitate to reach out to knowledgeable and trustworthy Ìṣẹ̀ṣe priest or priestess for guidance.
Don't let nobody play or scam you.
Now, it's true that you can ask your ancestors for guidance and support, but don't expect to actually see them. What you might feel, though, is their presence and the impact they have on your life. Pay attention to those moments when you sense their protection, blessings and wisdom surrounding you. Embrace that connection and let it uplift you.
Remember, there is a difference between seeking their help and thinking you can physically see them.

This is for people whom, whenever they hear Isese, immediately think it is about rituals. As an onisese,their mindset is about you must have money or power😂
WATCH 🇳🇬🧼: Many mocked it. Many feared it. But Yoruba OSE DUDU was never evil. It was heritage hidden inside black soap — a centuries old Yoruba craft symbolising culture, healing, survival, and hidden economic wealth across generations.
