The Story of Olokun 

While in the Navy. I enjoyed the presence of Olokun and Yemoja. I gave offerings to both! Ase Ase Ase

Love this!!!! The version I learned- Olokun and Ogun were beefing and Ogun chained him to the bottom of the ocean. But that enraged Olokun even more. He broke the chains and flooded parts of the Earth planning to flood it all. The destruction was so fierce, Obatala asked Yemaya to step in and stop him. She was able to calm Olokun down and he agreed to keep a distance at the bottom of the ocean to keep the peace.

The parts that stood out to me in this video was when you talked about Olokun or Obatala being chained to the bottom of the ocean and for some reason it made me think of the Atlantic Slave Trade and how some of our ancestors jumped in the ocean on purpose because they knew in the words of Michael B. Jordan “death was better than bondage.” Another part that stood out to me was when you talked about things being taken away from the water for the advancement of technology because if you think about it the Internet is a big web full of people who have social media accounts and in comparison to the ocean it’s big and consist of many types of fish and creatures that have yet to be discovered.

Ase! Yes! I love all the orisas! Olokun and Yemaya/Yemoja have a special place in my heart.

Metaphorically, since Olokun represents the deepest aspect of the ocean would you say Olokun is symbolic of the subconscious mind that when disrespected feels the need to react emotionally and Yemaya is more of the “surface” emotions?

Olukun is the Anchor and stability for Life❤

You came right on time with this one sis. We were literally talking about Olokun when you uploaded this 🖤✨

I love all of your Orisha videos!!! They are so educational and so informative!!!

Do a story For Osumare please‼️🙏🏾 alot of people dont know about this androgynous God who used to switch from man to woman - a lot of the spiritual community homophobic but dont realise there were Gods and Goddesses/ Orishas that we’re very reflective of REALITY

I'm a Olokun child 🧞‍♂️.Thank you sharing this video Ase' 💞

I had a reoccurring dream, which I noted as a message, where I was watxhing myself being chained at the bottom of the ocean. I was a solid statue chained to the bottom of the ocean and it was pitch black. The only light was coming peaking through shimmering over me. As the light shimmered over me, I could see other statued frozen beings that stretched for miles, bored down surrounding me, while I was chained. I was protected but chained under the ocean. I've been trying to figure out the message of the dream. I trying to set myself free but I know I'm protected and surrounded with love.

I just found out my Divine Guardian " Orisha " is OLOKUN ❤and it makes sense I'm a freedom fighter and I live on the Ocean 🌊 pray to yemaya and surf like I'm active in the water and I feel very deeply . I thought I was yemaya but no when asked it was OLOKUN that received me as his child❤ Today is a beautiful day in my elevation of my soul with god and spirit as today I found a major corner piece puzzle 🧩 towards the understanding of my destiny this life.

The true origin of Olokun is from Urhonigbe a village located in the Benin kingdom (The Edo people). The name OLE in Edo language means OWNER while OKUN means SEA/OCEAN but it's rightly pronounced OLOKUN without the E alphabet. The festival is being celebrated annually by the Edo people headed by the priestess (OHEN OLOKUN) as its been called in Edo language.

First time ever hearing this Name all Glory to YAH and blessings to our ANCESTORS 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👍🏾

I believe every version of the story happened. I think each ending of the story are different events at different periods of time where olokun had to check and balance things.

Ase baby. Good information to know ! I love the beach, the water and my spirit is drawn to it often ✨

Sheeshhh , you’re beautiful 😍 It’s the vibes for me, Sistar! Thank you so much! I always love how you break down the stories and make it make so much sense! Asé Olokun y Yemaya 🧜🏿🧜🏾‍♀️

I requested this and I’m obsessed. You dig great job. I really got a full observation.

You an amazing story teller. This definitely activated something beautiful deep in my soul 🌞🌹❣️🌻🌾💞 Thank you 💕

I love your channel, and thank you for sharing your boyfriend's channel, I shared it with my neighbors who is always in my cards, crystals, and resins.

I love how she speaks and respects all dietys. Since the first video at the intro I thought this is corny but I kept at it and tbh she's great she's just being herself she's not trying hard or anything she's cool as heck and I've been leaning so much. Keep doing your thang your going to get so much more views than expected 🙃

Yessss! Been waiting for some knowledge!💜💜💜

There is so much more to Olookun. He runs so deep. He is the most ancient. Olookun is my father and one day I’ll make a video with his blessings ❤️.. Thank you

First time hearing of Olokun. I'm familiar with Yemaja, but I've never heard of Olokun before this video. Thank you for this information 🙏🏽

I feel Olokun 🌊....folks is very disrespectful.....Folks must show love and respect to The Ancestors ☀️🌳🌊👑🧡🔥🌳🔥🌊🌳🔥🌊 #greatvideo 16:14 like for real 🌊🔥

❤️ it very happy I learnt this I’ve been separating them with just my knowledge of yemoja thank you for this 🙏🏿🙏🏿 and also girl 😍😍😍 loving the hair

There was a lesson for Olokun during this journey. It took both him and Yemiyah to complete this cycle. The divine Universe will not allow an innocent energy to take on someone else's punishment. This had been what kept Obatula, Yemiyah and Olokun chained to 3 dimension Earth prison frequency. Taking advantage of the waters not only means harvesting without limits, but it also means a using the beings that manifest as the pieces of the etheric waters by trapping them in the music industry as a living energy source for a separate reality. Obatula's sacrifice was only a bandaid, and it had a time limit that was overstepped. What happens in the spiritual world also happens in the physical. The standards of the Judicial system of the 3D reality to which they were bound reflected the injustice in Obatula's sacrificing of himself for the deeds of humanity.

It’s also said that olokun is the image that Starbucks uses but as we know these big name companies tap into the dark side of the spirit

I missed these type of videos, thank you for uploading

Thank you for putting these spiritual being on the map with more recognition because I don’t know about this spirit

Mojuba Olokun I love this you make me happy telling me this stories I love how you tell it in Black_americanise and So Modern so no matter if you old school or a young learner you can relate !

☺️🌟 I hope you’re doing well - I just want thank you for your Orisha stories , I ABSOLUTELY love them, they’re helping me grasp a better understanding along this journey, lastly; you’re teaching style is very very genuine 💓 you’re energy is very sweet 🤍 Thank you soo much for being a light on this Earth ✨ bless you

I always love your stories. I would suggest saying trigger warning for the part about his mother. Thank you for sharing

Thank you. This story just gave life to a project I'm doing.

Liked before it started‼️😊 ive been waiting for another Orisha story yay❤️💫

Omg ! omg ! I love your orisha stories ❤ you the best , it be so interesting ❗❤

LoL Olokun is the most ancient Orisha in the history of Yoruba & Nigerian Deities, nobody knows the true stories. They're all guess work. He's been there since the creation, before Obatala

Me sitting here making waist beads using black, blue and white beads 🤭😂 And literally took 20 minutes in the store to find the needles to thread them. I wasn't leaving that store until I found the needles cause I was being called to make these beads for myself before the new year got here!

Thank you for making this video! I was called by both Yemoja and Olokun a few years ago. I love them both so much 🥰🌊❤️

💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 I’m happy to see your videos today

Thank you Getting to him 🙇🏽 LUV YA GAL🤗🤗🤗

Hey Miss Pretty! Thank YOU so much for just being the treasure chest you are! This information is so needed. 🤗🥰

It's the popping of your fingers for me! 😹 but no seriously, Eye'm learning so much about our Gods and Goddesses through your beautifull story telling!! thANKH U Queen!! Peace and blessings!! Ase'!! 💙🦋

I always associate Olokun with an androgynous spirit or intersex being. As it pertains to African-American heritage specifically. Especially since Olokun represents the era of “slavery” for us.

Yessssss!!!! Daughter of Olokun here!!!

Love your story telling skills. Thank you for sharing 💝

Girl I love these videos ! And I came in with 444 views with 44 likes this is a sign !

I always say they are literally like the aquatic life that has yet to be discovered… the “weird” fishes at the bottom 🥹 i love Olokun/yemaya

Good shot at it. Its patakis... (puh-TAH-keese) Spanish for stories. Yes, it is good to give offerings to both. Yes Olokun is androgynous. However, Olokun is a HEAVY Orisa. Rarely is Olokun is given. And just because you have Yemoja does not make it likely that you'll have Olokun..... Im proof of that one. But I LOOOOVE the effort that you give here. We all have to start somewhere. Iron sharpens iron....KEEP IT UP. WE NEED YOU!

I’ve waited for a while for this one YaYa thank you!!!!❤️

Basically do not piss Olokun or his children off lol

I'm interested in hearing about Erinle. Came across them because I've always had a strong pull to elephants, painting, trinkets etc. And recently he showed up in my research. I love how you break things down and I'd like to hear your version of this.

Recently been viewing the orisha series and I’m so thankful for your channel!!! Very detailed and creative way to share this knowledge ❤❤❤

Ase! Ase! Ase! Thank you so much for this video! Much love! Many boons!

I love these stories....pl do aje... osayin...the twins too ase baby!

Thank you for This I have always known my anger will get the best of me and say you don’t get to mess with the quiet ones am not expect that same energy. Or for better terms you don’t get to keep poking the bear an expect no reaction. So it’s comforting to know that I can learn my ways

No one tells these stories like yoU ! Ps- you are stunningly beautiful 😻

Woooo! Life changing! Young lady, thanks for sharing your knowledge. #orisha

You just got a new follower today🙌🏾🌞

Thank you for sharing. Yet again, another gift.

I have a deep pressure in my womb listening to this story. I truly enjoy your stories and I come to you for the 🍵 🍵 🤣

Would it be out of place if Olokun and Yemaya appeared in a white person’s dream? My brother was describing two godlike entities that appeared in his dream last night. Dark,dark skin, even darker hair, wearing blues and whites, silver and gold. The whole dream was set in water that was shallow enough to stand in and also deep enough to dive into. He said that many other people were trying to get to the couple at the beginning of the dream, but ended up dying before they could get to them, yet he said it felt like an easy journey for him to make, like they let him. He said they were incredibly tall, but he only see them from the waist up. The one he thought to be a man was the only one to talk to him. But that the woman never left the man’s side. My brother asked them who they were, and they laughed and told my brother to tell his own story instead. So my brother told them, he found it curious that the man seemed to already know everything about my brother. This is the first time anything like this has happened to my brother. He wasn’t calling out to any deities, or ancestors. This dream shook him. But I know that since this not my culture, I shouldn’t assume too much. We’re white as Vikings, so we’re not familiar with these gods. I’m very spiritual, him not so much, but now I think he’s changing. I don’t want to overstep. But this is the closest match I’ve found when looking , if you or anyone else thinks it can’t possibly be Olokun or Yemaya, please reply. I’m going to keep looking, because it just feels odd that a Yoruba god would appear to a white kid from Tennessee, but I thought I’d ask in a space where y’all know what you’re talking about.

Love these stories there over 400 different orisha ...I believe there are more

You look beautiful babes💕

I have been missing your videos!!

Thank you so much. You are doing the right thing educating the people about Olokun. I think she is the same as Yemenya, although in the West the Babalau priest hood separate them, and this is causing many of them to drown in deep water. Thank you again. The awakening of our people is now. Call your ancestors Melanated people. It’s On. They can’t stop us now!!

You so Florida lol “& das why your body look like dat” 😂❤️❤️

Thank you so much for doing a video on olokun i stumbled upon him awhile ago and he just wouldn’t get out of my head it’s like once he revealed himself to me that little voice inside got bigger like yelling at me now (following my first mind) i know for a fact he’s my parent because all of the characteristics you stated in the video are me 💯 and i feel even more connected to him because I’m also a water sign #Scorpio Ps. I have to order my Lapis Lazuli crystal got some performances in the works 😜😘💙🖤🤍

I have just discovered your channel recently, however with this particular video I had a weird sense of Deja-vu, specifically when you began talking about Olokun and Obatala having a little quarrel and being chained down to the bottom of the Ocean. I just thought that was pretty strange. Love listening to you while I work (:

As a daughter I love this video Olokun’s wealth is unlimited and he is kind and loving! Asé

Love your videos 📹 ❤❤❤watching from London History lessons they didn't teach us in school🤣🤣💯🤫❣❣👌🏿

Why it seems like I heard this story in the Bible? The Tower of Babel Or when God flooded the earth. I like this story better. I believe it more than what I was raised to believe

When are you posting a video of Obatala? I've watched all your other videos. 😏

How do we give offerings to them at the beach? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hey Love, at 19:37 you said Obatala, when it seems like you meant Olokun. Is that right?

😍 thank u 🙌🏾🙌🏾...I love all ur videos, the info is new & very interesting!! Good shit!

Neo Bokor here, and I approve this message. Aye, keep up the great work.

Peace Goddess!! Can you do a video on Obatala, please? Gratitude to you and for you!! Asé!!!

I ordered my crystal Ase Queen!!! 😉Always beautiful stories #TTOT🌻☕️ Sending you ✌🏾✨

This was a great story I wonder who the daughter of the sea was? (MEDUSA) is my guess.

This Orisha is very similar to Poseidon and his wife. Even there primary symbols are similar (ie a trident) and both wanted flood the world to punish mankind at one point. Very odd similarities overall.... I can't help but wonder if the ancient peoples of the Mediterranean and ancestors of the Yoruba were in contact with each other at some point because the similarities in their religions is uncanny.

as an intersex person of yoruba descent, olokun empowers me

Not even heard of this orisha!! So interesting the different versions ~ Let's see how it plays out today 😩🙏🏾👀🌊

You’re so pretty. It feels good to look at you lol

I can’t with the way you are pronouncing Olokun 😂🤣 Bendicion tho

Thank you❣I learned a lot❣

I love the way you say cowrie shells

Is Olokun the same Agwé in the Haitian vodou?thanx for your outstanding lectures

Thank you for this very informative story 🥰🥰🥰

My son’s Guardian Angel is Olokun but he will CROWN 👑 Yemaya 💙🥰

It seems that Yemayá is strongly associated with the zodiac of Cancer and Olokun is strongly associated with Scorpio
