Who is Your Orisa? 

learn more bit.ly/OrisaStudies

Finally someone who really speaks the truth, there are so many people on here who talk about the Orishas but don't even understand Yoruba culture. What you said about Yorubas wanting to find out about where you're from you hit the nail on the head. This even happens with your name in Nigeria. Keep up the good work brother.

This video needs to be viewed by ALL who are inquiring or interested in IFA and the Orisa lifestyle! I am SO relieved to have found this channel!!!

From Nigeria 🇳🇬 I say you are 💯 accurate...I started my cleansing and answered my calling today..I’ve been in denial for ever..so I found this video on time..I speak Yoruba,I deal with Yoruba and you are so accurate.

Many scammer out there. I wish I’d seen this sooner but I guess I had to learn on my own. I almost fell for one but as soon as he said WhatsApp, I got out of dodge and now I just block anyone coming towards me. If I need guidance I will seek it out like I just did and found people like you who truly want to educate. I am truly grateful.. ASE

OMG! Thank you for this! I often feel like I'm being forced to do so many things no matter what the spiritual system, religion, etc it is. I was just going to be atheist and be done. This makes so much sense.

I m very new to this, I have always feel connected orisha mostly the yemaya/ olokun, so I thought! a night ago I prayed to yemaya to reveal her self to me and help me ,but to my greatest suprise I had a dream about shango talking to me called me his daughter, and I also see yemaya items which I admired in the dream but they didn't belong to me ,it belongs to some other girl in the dream.

I love your logic! It's clear and crisp! Thanks!

I love this ! I really admire how you open minds versus trying to control them.

Obatala came to me as a guide yesterday. Before that I knew nothing about Obatala, however at the same time I knew Him. I went to a shop and his statue called to me, so I took it home. I was initiated 10 years ago. I went the path of Christianity and always wanted help, a Father figure and a guide. Never found one. This is the first time in my life where I feel someone is looking after me. And I’m humbled and honored it’s Obatala.

Revisited and if I hadn't commented about two years ago then AGAIN...WELL SAID Big Bro...almost brings tears to my eyes just to know how genuine you are with your message as well as awesome metaphoric comparisons in a great articulate way. Big Ups BaBa🙏🏽💯

Im so thankful for your videos brotha. Thanks man!!

beautifully expressed. blessings on your journey. blessings of peace on earth. ase'

Thank you so much Baba . ASE wa

Thank you for this! I have a few people charging me to do a sacrifice prior to worshiping my orisha. I was thrown off when they asked for money. This was needed.

Wonderfu..

I am form owo ,ondostate Nigeria. I must say your pronoucation is spot on . Wow! So much information. Some time lead me here. #team

Appreciate this level of sharing

Aboru aboye thanks for this teaching

This happened to me and i've been cautious to learn more ever since. This cleared up a lot.

I'm subscribing for your honesty alone. I'm ready to learn and you seem like a great teacher. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.🙏💜

I appreciate this. After getting my readings my feelings were "what's next?" .

Shango is , among other things, the Orisha of military, police, and firefighters. I was an Military Police in the military, and a volunteer firefighter in civilian life. I'm not initiated, but I feel Chango is my Orisha.

Well said ! Completely unique and inspiring perspective ,I believe anything to thrive one need immense focus and support from like minded people. Such traditions need to be preserved, they need right support to thrive and benefit humanity as whole. I wish you growth and prosperity 🙏 greetings from India.

I like this very much. Thank you

Thank you for your honesty because this is so true..l thank God for discernment!!!

Yes, when I clicked on this, I was always unaware of the answer. I was told I'd find to on my own in life.My point though, is that you turned out inadvertently to help me watch out for traps and I thank you for that.I didn't expect or want to find to find out my Orisha from this video, but I clicked on it anyway, which showed there was a higher reason for doing so.

I love how u broke it down

thanks for the wisdom king

You are wonderful! 💚

Thank you for the knowlage !

Informative, thank you Ashe

Great video. Thank you so very much.

Thank you for your honesty and sincerity. As an Afro Latino from NYC, Santeria and Ifa has always been around. I have always had an interest and fascination but I run into many just trying to sell services at high rates. It’s very difficult to find honest priest, priestess or Babalu. I’m seeking to grow my understanding of my spirituality through the ancestors and guides. What questions do you recommend a new comer ask to find a true guide? How do you recommend trying to find a good honest practitioner? Thank you for what you do.

That's exactly what I told this guy. How can I be with Ogun if he deals with metals and I'm a writer? He say,"My oracles never lie. Trust me." Something about invitation costing me $100.00.

This is so helpful I was just asking myself this question I appreciate you sharing your gifts thank you 🙏🏾

I feel like i know who my Orisha is..I don't know how i know i just spiritually know..

Thank you

I went to the African Village in South Carolina. My first reading was a cowery shells reading. Dilogun. I kept getting Shango and "standing to great my wealth. Later I did my DNA through 23andme. I gound I was 82% West African/ Nigerian. My reading said I was traced to Benin (Dahomey) and my Orisha was Obatala. Also my family Orisha was/ is Obatala. I got my family name Adewole and later my first name being Oriyomi. My 5% attribute is Nowbuild. So now I'm working on my next move. Also wanting to balance that Shango reading and that Obatala energy. Been venerating my ancestors and seeing confirmation. B.u.t. I want to be sure. Lastly, I want to purchase some clothing. No stores near hear in McKeesport Pennsylvania. I will be in contact with you

Thanks for lacing me up bro bro

Thank u so much

I’m really not sure honestly the only one I pray to and she gives me what I want is oshun

Great vifeo

Watching this at 333

Your words are so true 👍 this is exactly what we would be telling our people to obey the rules of tradition and culture, so that our ancestors will come and help us in our weakness when we don't know how to pray properly. As for now things are not working like usual, because the way it's now is undue with so much irresponsible guidelines. And that's destroying our culture. As for now many things are not working properly , just like you said that normally tradition should be helping us to put things right when we make mistakes 😀 but some people has followed other ways 😀 by using innocent people to earn what they want 😉 and that is destroying things even more . 😊 perhaps you have tell my story 😉 how can tradition become normal again? Is it by fighting a good war 🤔

I enjoyed this a lot, sadly the negative stuff you mentioned is prevalent in lucumi. I have been looking more into Isese and a lot is clearer and clearer.

Oh goodness thank u so much ! U just saved meeeeee

Aseo!

Ok so how do you find these things out the right way because I'd love to get to know my Orisha

How does one determine their Orisha?

Thank you!🙏🏽 someone asked me: what is you Orisha? I said: ive learned to not tell my Orisha it can go against me. He said: LMAOOOOO who told you this joke? I went silent.

Thank you so much. watching your videos for the past days have taught me a lot. I am so interested in the Orisha Lifestyle. I have no answers for those ?'s. my family has frowned upon such practice but I've felt this is the way since a child. My question is how do I get started?

Thank you for this info love it being native American and Mexican bloodlines grew up with a lot of Brujería and spirituality, for one that is seeking more knowledge and looking deeper into this but lives somewhere we're these practices aren't popular how does one go to learn there orisha and to deepen there knowledge?

I love your video but I don’t know who is my orisha am from New York don’t know nobody out here I need help please

Hi, I’m a mixed AMERICAN, but my African ancestors are from Nigeria, Mali, Ghana, Benin and Morocco. Who can I connect with to find out if I have an Orisha? I’ve been on a spiritual path for a few years now. I was guided to your videos. I’d appreciate any enlightenment that you can offer.

I would like to join the team

None of this should cost it is our right to connect with our ancestors and Orishas it a shame people are using them as a money scam

Okay I dont know my lineage......I'm from america I dont know alot of history from my ancestors and it makes my heart hurt

I'm drawn to yemeya but I'm not sure if she is my orisha. All this is new to me and i was told i have to get a spiritual reading by a high priest but i live near Chicago

Thank you for this video. How does one know how to find their God parent/s?

Oduduwa!

How do you figure this stuff out if you’re the only one in your family on this path? I don’t know many of my family members and the history just wasn’t passed down. I’m confused I was going to start praying to Oshun and Papa Candelo because I felt connected to them but it seems like a much deeper process. I don’t have anyone to teach me or talk to me about this stuff. 🤦🏽‍♀️… I don’t want to end up having a bad reaction because of my own ignorance.

SPEAK MY BROTHER

If you are initiated then you shouldn't be wandering around in the first place. Your Egbe, Lineage, temple ect will be your mainly source of spiritual growth, protection and duty as well. Asé O

by salesman he means how not to be manipulated

Hello! Thank You. If i may ask.. I hear the name "Shango" in my dreams. And feel 2 woman energy along with this.I'm not familiar with any of this. What would that dream mean?

I ask a persons signal when i see the edi on the wrist..if they have a house because alot of people are liars claiming they are intiated and trying to do spell work that could create orsorbo..yet don't even understand that.

Do you have to go to Africa to get initiated?

What happens if i heard "orishaaaaa" and then i woke out of my sleep in a sweat. I am trying to see what orisha is calling me or what this means..i have never heard this term before.

I am new to IFA and I want to practice but there are no teachers that I know of where I live in Baltimore MD and I want to read up and research IFA but I really want a teacher to help me I've started a small alter and I don't have a Orisha how can I get started I have candles, incense and California Sage on my alter what else should I add ,what Orisha do I try to connect with first

I have a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH MANY ORISHAS AND LOA/ LWA. There is a day of the week for the 7 main ORISHAS, The 7 African Power. You can go to them all on your own. Needing initiation into Ifa is simular, (Not the Same) but simular to being Baptised into a certain Christian Church.....Ase'

Alot of people ask these questions out of curiosity only.

My Father ancestors are from Madagascar. I was adopted abs really do not know much about my mother's side. Help! I would love to know why my orisha is.

How do I find out my ancestral promise?lineage?

I'm of Haitian descent raised catholic and have lost both of my grandparents and have no knowledge of my paternal side... How do I find my ancestors, after doing an ancestry test I do have the same maternal haplogroup as Nelson Mandela but I don't know what to make of this? I just want to understand my lineage but have very limited information.

How do I contact you?

How do you know any of this I've had things happen but I need more answers

💯‼️

I need some more info about joining the orisha family

Where would i go to get a reading? I’m new to all of this. I’m not sure where to start

Is there a marriage ceremony in the religion ? If there is could you please make a vid discussing it .

What do I do with liquid offerings to my ancestors? How do I dispose of liquid offerings to my orishas?

Is there a way for me to private message you?

Hi sorry for commenting so late but this video is very relevant to me at this moment. What if you're origin can't be traced back to Yoruba, does that mean you have to find another spiritual tradition? My interest is santeria/lucumi

Is there any way I can contact you about joining? I’m ready for my life.

God ; This Is Perfect . I'm so in the dark with everything that I want to know the most !! How can I go about finding who is mine and if I have one .

How do I know if this is my path?

How do you find out what your Orisa is?

I need your help. I need clarity into a sensitive matter of my Orishas. I come from a bloodline of Santeros. But I was adopted. Is there an email I can contact you. I don't want to say too much here

Who. Do I seek to know my orisha?

Can you suggest any book for beginners...

Hi I would like to know where you're at what state if you're in California what city I would like to know more information I am in the religion since I've been 9 years old my padrino passed away I have nobody else so I would like to talk to you if possible thank you

What if you another country and you don't know your Godfather or Godmother. Living in America but want to try something more spiritually then western belief were do I start from.

This video takes alot of the ambiguity out of forest

Lol I constantly get babalawos from Nigeria tryna scam me. Even when I tell them I'm crowned n practiced for 15 years they still try to upsale their services even putting down my authenticity. Its bonkers

I was previously subscribed your profile, but some locked myself out of my account. I just found you profile again. Long story short. I have ancestry from Nigeria, Benin, Ghana, Mali.I have a question. I in the past 2 or more years have been calling out to my ancestors. I’m still in the enlightening stage. I set up a small alter not to long ago. A few weeks later I had a dream/vision. I was in Nigeria and a older gentleman approached me and introduced himself to me in a similar way you introduce yourself in your videos. The man spoke to me in English, but had a heavy accent. He mentioned like 5-6 names/things in his greeting. We were in some type of hut. He said I will now pray to some type of God/deity of something (I don’t recall on who was going to pray to) He started to shake a wood type of rattle instrument and starting chanting/jumping/dancing almost like in some type of ceremony and there were also others there who were chanting and dancing too. Do you know what if any meaning my dream/vision had. The main thing I know is that it was Nigeria, because I remember saying in the dream I looked for to going back there. Any feedback from you would be highly appreciated.

When you say compound or lineage, what about Jamaica. I know it’s not exactly a Orisha or African oriented spiritual culture or background but I’m just curious.
