The Yoruba teachings and the 5 elements

Many outside of the tradition are unaware of the fact that the Yoruba teachings also recognize the five elements found in Western Occult teachings. These five elements are Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Ether/Spirit. We will see in this verse of Eji Ogbe all 5 elements are addressed by Orunmila himself when speaking on Alignment with “ORI” (head/destiny/consciousness)…

Orunmila said Align

I repeated, Alignment! Bara Agbonmiregun

Orunmila said, The Sun aligned with its Ase and its authenticity blossomed therefore it became the light of the world and the source of energy.

Orunmila said Align

I repeated, Alignment! Bara Agbonmiregun

Orunmila said, the water aligned with her Ase and her authenticity blossomed. Therefore she became what everyone needs in order to survive.

Orunmila said Align

I repeated, Alignment! Bara Agbonmiregun 

Orunmila said, the wind aligned with its Ase and its authenticity blossomed. Therefore it became what humanity needs in order to remain alive.

Orunmila said Align

I repeated, Alignment! Bara Agbonmiregun

Orunmila said, the Earth aligned with her Ase and her authenticity blossomed. 

Therefore she became the one who provides food, medicines, clothing, and shelters for humanity.

I repeated, Alignment Bara Agbonmiregun Orunmila said, Èdá (Spiritual beings) must align with their Ase in order for their Authenticity to blossom, So that they can impact the world successfully. The Ase that lives within All spiritual beings is the name we call “ORI”. 

It is Ori that makes one blossom. 

It is Ori that assist one in fulfilling their true purpose. 

Every Èdá should Align with their Ori.
