WHY WE WERE TAUGHT THAT THE YORÙBÁ SPIRITUALITY IS EVIL.

WHY WE WERE TAUGHT THAT THE YORÙBÁ  SPIRITUALITY IS EVIL.Olókun is the mother of the aquatic world, that sees to the safety and purityof marine life...Olókun is evil to the imperialists because she abhors Oil spillages, Blast (Bomb) fishing, Toxic wastes disposal on the African territorial watersÒgún l'áká aiyé is the father of metallurgy, war, and technology, Ògún Makindé destroys and urges the natives resist the invaders of the homeland...

Belief in Ògún is evil and must be done away with among the natives for an hitch free ride for imperialism and to stunt the growth of their technology.Ifá Olókun is the compendium of the Yorùbá Science, philosophy, worldview, pharmacology etc.Ifá signifies the wisdom and ingenuity of the natives, it must be effectively demonized, as wisdom disqualifies people from being dominated forever.Ifá is so "evil" that even the Western Computer Scientists borrowed from its wealth of wisdom to design the computer storage system.Èsù is the 'police officer' of the cosmology, he makes sure promises and treaties are not broken, and if they get broken, he punishes accordingly, he is the father of vengeance.Vengeance is scary to a people who drowned thousands of natives in the Atlantic ocean in order to get insurance payments or to lighten the ships. If others are said to be evil, Èsù must be said to be super super evil and must be totally rejected by the natives else he inspires them to revenge.

Òrìsà Oko is the father of the preservation and pampering of mother earth, the moist elements and of the animals that roam the wilderness.Òrìsà Oko qualifies for the "evil" guild because he is against Indiscriminate destruction of the  forest, Indiscriminate killing of wild animals for"Pleasure", Destruction of the Ozone layer, environmental pollution, Chemicaland Biological weaponry which the imperialists can not do without.Ọbàtála is the patron Òrìsà for the sick and disabled, he is the Òrìsà for purity and sanity.

This Òrìsà is evil, for in him, the natives already have a kind hearted and pure deity, how then can they market theirs who should help them tame thenatives and make them easy preys for imperialism.Odùdùwà is the Icon of our brotherhood from Itshekiri land to  the fringes of the present day Ghana.Odùduwà is "evil" for the imperialists for he will be against the division of the Yorùbá brothers like spoils of war among "British Nigeria", " French Dahomey", and "German Togo"Guess what? The Europeans' gambit succeeded! A greater percent of the Yorùbás see them all as evil! And here we are at the bottom of existence. Our land raped and our men and resources are being stolen to date.--

Who is an Apetebi? : Her dos and don'ts

Image
In Ifa, there are specific roles that had been prescribed for an apetebi to ensure the development of home, the community, and the nation as a whole in line with the dictates of Olodumare. According to Ifa, an apetebi is the wife of Ifa, and not necessarily, the wife of a Babalawo or an ifa practitioner. A woman may be advised to have the symbol of Ifa on her person in order to solve a specific problem in life or to accelerate to the realization of certain goals for her while the husband may not be an Ifa practitioner at all.

Teaching on Ẹ̀rìndínlógún (16 Cowrie Shells of the Orisa Tradition ) - Baba Odùdúwà

Image
Ẹ̀rìndínlógún in the old way of using it: Baba Odùdúwà: In ancient times, the "Cowrie Shell" was used whole. They didn’t took the belly out (the womb) as it done now in many places, when the full Cowrie was used (without opening the "belly"), the reading of the Oracle was something different, if the Cowrie Shell falls with the belly up, this means that it does not speak.
