ORISA

Periodically we will bring you aspects and attributes of various Orisas as they are worshiped in Yorubaland. Topics on Orisas that are rare in the Diaspora such as Egbe, Kori Koto, Oduduwa, Olosa, Ela or Oluorogbo, Moremiajasoro, Oke, Oranfe, Alafere, Onile, Yemoo, Obameri, Obalufun etc. will also be discussed. Chief Dayo will share information on Orisa worship as he travels from compound to compound in Yorubaland.   He will also inform you of festivals for Orisa that are nationally recognized and unique to specific towns such as Osun in Osogbo, Ifa in Ile Ife, Ogun and Obatala in Ile Ife, Egungun in Ogbomoso, Sango in Oyo etc. We look forward to sharing and bringing more insight in Orisa worship on our website.
