Yoruba Spirituality and Their Culture

The Promotion of the Culture and Tradition of the Yoruba people is one of the keys to achieving this. The promotion of our medicine, music, dance, nutrition, fashion...

We must first publicly identify with them irrespective of how crude we perceive it to be; we must be proud of them. We must own them. Then we will know that it is our responsibility to evolve them into enviable standards.

First responsibility of a Yoruba is the promotion of its culture and tradition. 

There are several ways in which one can do this. All Yoruba must find the area where they are to get involved in the promotion of the culture.

LET ME TELL YOU ONE IMPORTANT REASON WHY ÌTẸFÁ IS IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE.

Ifa, Osanyin, Ọ̀ṣun, Ògún, Sango, Obatala are some of the highly Important social organizational geniuses that we intellectuals must interact with.

Bulk of its practical knowledge exist with the natives and can't be handed down to non-initiates, but, a few literature that should awaken our interest into wanting to have a personal experience with these entities are available.

These geniuses are the individual energies that you and I represent.

Those who think Sango, Ògún, Èṣù, Obatala, Ọ̀rúnmìlà are fallen angels (demons) would find it hard to accept the truth of the Yoruba religion because it will set their minds against itself to now begin to try to comprehend that they are descendants of fallen angels (demons). 

But I believe some of us have evolved to a point in the understanding of these entities howbeit partially for who/what they are.

If Ogun is recognized as the divinity of engineering and Ìtẹfá revealed that Ogun is your guardian Òrìṣà, it simply narrows down your journey in life into the area of your natural genius. You would do better in fields that are directly linked to the Ogun complex of universal order. 

And since energy can neither be created nor destroyed but simply transforms from one form to another, Ogun as an energy complex will continue to manifest in all life forms in the universe to continue its essence in one form or another. 

At this Time (T) and Space (S), you are an Embodiment of a certain energy. Its essence is what you carry and that informs your place in the giant scheme of things going on in the universe.

It is important to state that we are a mixture of all the energies but one is dominant in each one of us. It is that one that has the most pronounced influence in that subjects life.

This is where the Yoruba begins social organization from.
