Who Are The Great Iyami Aje? (The Great Ancestral Mothers)
Who Are The Iyami Osonronga? In the Yoruba West African language, Iya means 'Mother,' while Ìyámi translates to 'my mother.' The Mothers embody the role as the force of creation, sustainer of life and existence, elevating her to the realm of the infinite divine. The word Ìyámi -in tones becomes Ìyààmi or Ìyàmi, which can translate as "the super-powerful ones" or "My Mysterious Mother. Yoruba is a tonal language; therefore, a change in tone from the same word can translate a different meaning. Iyami Aje is known by many praise names, which include, but are not limited to, Iyami Osoronga, Awon Iya Wa (Our Mothers), Eleye (Owner(s) of the Sacred Bird) Iya Iyami, Egbe Iyalode Oshun, Iyemoja Oya, etc.
ORISA ORI
ORI literally means "head" which refers to one's spiritual intuition and destiny life path.
When Ifa says during divination to feed one’s ORI, it means that one must understand the energy and powers ORI possess in one’s life, that leads someone to great outcomes and help you stay on your destiny’s path of oneself. Once one’s ORI is fed, it moves us closer to our potential of greatness through a series of serendipities we may call coincidences but it was one’s ORI that lead them to this path of your destiny’s divinity.
ORI serves us as our great bodily protector as helping us to reveal righteous decisions and thoughts that leads to great blessings of wealth, long life, peace of mind, and help manifest your greatest potential in one’s career which can lead to fame and fortune.
ORI is the greatest gift we as humans posses so we need to understand the powers we all hold within us by getting a divination Ifa reading and feeding one’s Ori can be the best gift you can give yourself because it just might save your life.
If you don’t feed your ORI, then you will be faced with anxiety, lack of sleep, daily life frustrations which comes off as blockage to one’s mental state that leads to missed opportunities and maybe fatal accidents and illnesses.
It is very important to listen to Ifa’s words when you are told to feed one’s ORI, this is to prevent hardships and misfortune to occur in one’s life. Feeding one’s ORI can increase dreams, visions, and blessings of positive outcomes as it pertains to many aspects of one’s life.
But no because other religions tells you not to involve yourself in any sacrifices, meanwhile some of y’all are enjoying the fact that your forefathers who happens to be an ABORISA back then as worked and serve the IRUNMOLE, and they died without rewards, and you being the grandson or granddaughter is here reaping the hard labors of your forefathers that served the IRUNMOLE with every part of their body then thinking it’s how you pray or good at fasting that makes you the better person you are today, o ti da 😒
Ifa ni
Note: no one will help you find your way to reach the greatness of your life, you’re the CEO of your life, you can do it better than anyone else out there with your ORI.

(ILĘKĘ) ORISA BEADS📿
Though some people has taking this great opportunity of having access to any shop where they're selling beads just to be using the way they like, mind you putting a real orisa beads on neck , wrist or ankle means the person is deeply from the religion but I discovered its been taking for granted just like fashion and this is confusing some people throughout the world. My first point is that do ever compare acting babalawo or any other orisa priest you watch on film as real one on earth because of the beads they put on, real orisa priest had been using those beads as it is been ordered to use and not meant for doing bad, well, I know some are initiated in to those orisa and they're not from religion, but mind you , just knows the truth must be said to those people on how the uses of those beads and other materials must be using.alAnywhere we put the beads on , IFA clearly said it from OKANRANSODE, that any real priest put on the beads must be an humble person and such mustn't be found where there is riot or any unreasonable issue, if at all it was mistakenly occurred, the knowledge said such person must either should have leave the place before the riot commenced or the riots should have finished before the person arrived. The main functions of IDE is for protection, to be victorious, to make person be humble person, guiding people against unseen spirit in atmosphere, for easily identification of real ONIRUNMOLE, also to imparting some good behavior in someone's life, it given person privileges on how to be behaving in public also in private, and so many that cannot be mentioned now . Though we all knows that the more we are civilising, then its the more we'll be facing differents challenges, but by the way, we still need to be encouraging the world by the truth word of IFA(ILĘKĘ) PERLES
