The Orishas Explained (Nigerian Spirituality)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- This Video is about the Orishas of the Yoruba tribe.
This is the Orishas explained
Just a disclaimer for you aunties and uncles that have your nose pointed up, this video is for educational purposes only. This isn’t me promoting or not promoting anything I’m simply talking about something that ancestors followed. And if you’re of Caribbean, African American or south American descent this may have been the religion of your ancestors followed too. The Yoruba tribe is probably the most influential African tribe in history, if you want a video about them alone just drop a like.
The orishas are a group of supernatural beings or sprits and they act as the mediators between the human and spiritual realm. They were first worshiped in the ancient Yorubaland which spans modern day Nigeria, Togo and Benin. The Yorubaland was essentially a massive country until colonisation.
Part 3 is out check it out !!

Oshiras are demons.
We are ALL born with an Orisha [a head deity [energy] governing or in charge of assisting us with the life script we wrote prior to entering the human mother's womb].
Yes, called an Ori (head/crown Ori).
Can you please explain to me how they are different from spirit guides? Is spirit guide just another name or way to explain/describe the orishas?
Ty for sharing. Keep the videos coming and your lighting/video quality looks great.
I need to talk to u plz
How do you know which one?
Fire force is so good!!! I had no idea he was inspired by an Orisha
Was called to look more into the spiritual meanings of the Orishas. This video was great!
Thank you 🙏🏽
I’m still learning about them myself
So I hope to share more of my findings on this channel 😁
Me too
@@karameldrizzletv I got a reading done by a priest (ifa obelawa) of 25 yrs and completed the first ritual of 3 😁 im very happy 😊
@@karameldrizzletv it's not Nigerian mythology. Their are no Myths. The Orisha are real living beings. The quicker you imbrace this hidden fact the easier it will be for you to... Not loose your "Mind" when you transition from this plane to the next plane.
@@kevinwilmore3604 I don’t believe they are myths but it’s just in hopes of getting people to watch and get interested that’s all :)
I’m Half Egyptian & Nigerian just trying to learn more about my cultures 😭
Haha yh that would be a handful but they both such Beautiful cultures I really want to talk about Egyptian culture soon 😍
@@karameldrizzletv haha yes, hope you do and talk about the real one not the whitewashed version, love your videos too btw
Thank you !
And 100% the whitewashing of ancient should deffo me discussed !
Wow.. Nice
can give you the peace that you need!! Stop following lies of Satan!! Repent of your sin and seek the truth. Jesus is the only way!! Sad😢 seeing so many people deceived this us a demons repent and seek the lord Jesus Christ he loves! You that demons is real. Satan came to kill, steal and destroy
But Jesus came to give you life abundantly. John 3:16.
Well done. As a person of Benin, Togo and Nigerian decent, (Ancestry DNA), I truly appreciate this introduction to West African spirituality. Thank you very much.
I’m also here because of my ancestory DNA!!!!🙏🏽
Your video was shown to us at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. I'm a Black American of 47% Yoruba ancestry. I am a Yoruba High Priestess. I've been learning for 23 years. You explained this so well. I'm proud
Oh wow I’m honoured
Thank you so much 😊
Have you heard of my Grandfather baba medahochi?
@@elemibrady9465 No I do not know your grandfather
Please Google him definitely a great man
Peace & Blessings Priestess, How did you find your ancestry percentage ? I’m very interested in finding out that information for myself as well , I appreciate the time you took to share this information here.
I appreciate this video highlight of the orishas. In Puerto Rico many orishas were associated with catholic saints to allow Africans a way to still practice their beliefs during slavery. My aunties taught me a few. One auntie still does it this way.
The orisha being us all together regardless if you’re in Africa or in the Americas! That’s what I love so much about the belief.
It also shows how strong our ancestors were they never gave up faith and despite being forced to follow another religion they still kept their own
"Orixás" are very present in Brazilian culture because of 2 big religions with african roots: Candomblé and Umbanda. Umbanda is the most brazilian and recent one because it is a misture of Kardec Spiritism, Catholicism and Candomblé.
That’s so interesting!
Thank you for doing this video. As a fellow Yoruba residing in the USA, I am proud of the reminders of our great culture we sometimes takes for granted or underappreciated due to exposure of western influences. Keep up the great job , my brother!
I'm Haitian and i find it's interesting because in Vodou the names are quite the same specialy Ogou and Legba. Congrats
Yup I think it shows that at the end of the day we all came from the same place.
It's bc vodou is a mix of Ifa and French Catholiscm.Ifa is the foundation of it Slaves weren't allowed to practice it so they hid the orisas behind the saints of the slave masters as we know the French colonized Haiti
It is our divine connection to all that is and all that will be
I recommend that you buy this book: Tales of Ogun: Yoruba Legend by Nostalgic folktaler on Amazon. It tells a true story of Ogun
Thank everyone for the support I didn’t think this video would do so well 😅
As requested I’ve made separate videos on each Orisha. I go into way more detail in each of them😁 hopefully you learn something new.

All the years I studied in college, I had to study Greek and Roman mythology as part of our curriculum. Now, I’m being schooled all over again on African deities.
I'm an Ashanti (Ghanaian) but 23andMe is showing that I do have distant Yoruba heritage and has actually linked me to two distant cousins that are Yoruba (they're siblings and also show up on Ancestry DNA so its seems to be legit). I'm trying my best to learn about myself and my ancestors.
Yes they are related! They 100% would have traded with each other and many would have married !
Colonisation destroyed everything the British created fake borders that split up the unity. The Yoruba tribe used to run until Ghana !

@John146 John316 Christians ✝️ stole many stories from yoruba religion .just 1 example how the first human were created from clay 🤫
At 2:28 you have pictures or a chart of the Orishas- can I buy that anywhere? Awesome video!
I've been working with Orishas before I knew of them. I always just called them spirit guides. Now I'm feeling called to actually learn them.
That’s amazing !
It's cool how during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade many of our African ancestors found ways to keep their culture alive. For some of us, we may not have been taught about Voudon ( Benin/ Togo) or Ifa completely, but we are aware of other traditions from our true home. Those people were so smart, so that we could exist. Cool video 😎
* I'm 33% Nigerian
Exactly they will never be able to erase it🙏🏽
@@karameldrizzletv Never!!!💯
22% Nigerian !!!!😊
Here in brazil Orishas (orixás) are very popular, especially in Bahia state . 23rd march is the orixa Day here in brazil ( candomblé and umbanda religions, both worship orixas).the most known orisha here is yemanjá, oshun,Ogun, Obatalá, oshumaré,oshossi,shango, omolú ,obaluayê and nanan.

I am not Nigerian but I am Cuban and this religion is very common there, plus I’m mixed part of my family are afro Latinos and some of the members in my family even practice this religion, so I became interested and I found your video very helpful! Keep the Greta work up
Even if you’re not Nigerian you probably have Yoruba ancestry 😌 which is really cool!!
Same as Brazil...
@@karameldrizzletv bro I'm white Cuban my family practice this religion do you think I have Yoruba ancestry
@@DeadGyro it’s very possible !!
This religion is shared between Africans and latin(o)s
Great piece.... Keep up the beautiful work brother. I am Yoruba from Nigeria. You have done alot of research and I applaud this work, this excellent work.
Thank you so much I appreciate it

Great Video! Big up Naija🇳🇬🇳🇬
Thank you 🙏🏽
What a FANTASTIC job u did to summarize such an ancient and very much ALIVE and ever changing African Spirituality among such a POWERFUL Tribe now so condensed and fractured by colonization. I carry the DNA of your neighboring Tribe, the IGBO. I don't know what my Ancestral tribe would have done without the shared YUROBA blessings of the Orisha tradition. I have come as a descendant of the horrors of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and still live within the brutality of our MAAFA here in America. My Nigerian (Biafrian) heritage is PRECIOUS to me, even though BOTH our Nation's names are a result of the barbaric terrorism of British invasion and their unforgivable and yet unamended human SLAVER industry. I KNOW I have the protection and guidance of the 7 AFRICAN POWERS as expressed through the 7 Orishas u have introduced in this incredibly concise video. I FEEL it. I have FELT it long before I was introduced to Ifa and the American Yuroba culture still very strong in New York City. I FEEL it in the Orisha music and drums...the blowing of the Conch shell...the DANCE of our People...When I combine my own experiences and knowledge with that of my Ancestors, it is a healing I can't even explain. My mind CLEARS of the LIES, suppression and TRAUMA I was born with and I BEGIN to understand who I truly am and WHY I am here. My Ancestors suffered unspeakable devastation under many WARS and human weaknesses...to me, the Orishas offer a way to RECOVER and STRENGTHEN under their ancient wisdom and unending compassion for humanity despite our constant destructive and sadistic nature. You have such a GIFT of language. You give simplicity to extremely complex concepts. You make LIGHT of what has triggered such generational rage. What a gift u are to this world, especially to ur generation who may never find interest in looking BACK before they move FORWARD. I send blessings to u, ur work, and ur family! A'she.
Thank you so much I appreciate this
your video was very informative. im half nigerian, my father is full nigerian but he has never been in my life so i dont know much about my african ancestory. this video helped me alot. thank you.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm suddenly interested in knowing more about my ancestors' beliefs.
It’s really interesting and it’s very important! We can’t let our ancestors beliefs be forgotten!!
thank you for your video my daughter ❤ is half Nigerian trying to learn her heritage history 💯🙏🏿😊👌🏿
That’s great ! I love that more people are finding out about their heritage 🥰
WOW SO YOUNG.......THANK YOU MY BROTHERS/SISTERS......IN GRATITUDE, MEEKNESS....THE POWER OF LOVE....1
This is super cool definitely would like more videos on african spiritualism
Thank you 🙏🏽
And I will do !
Watching Fire Force now because that clip of Ogun was so dope
Fire force is one of the best anime out now!!!
And yh Ogun is 100% MVP of the whole show
Thank you man. I'm just getting into Ifa to connect with the ancestors, and this was nice and concise.
way to go brudda. much love n respect
Thank you brother ! Keep up this work ! May his bless you
I was just plunged into this culture recently when being tasked with creating a mural for a Botanica in St. Petersburg, FL called Botanica Yemaya Olokun. I just finished one depicting Yemaya and Olokun ineracting on one wall and now ill be doing one featuring the other main ones on another wall. Really loved this video to help me piece the concept together! Thank you! I gotta say too its been pretty cool learning about this culture having never known anything about it before this. I can see similarities in concepts that were probably taken for the Greek gods in this.
They weren’t taken from Greek Gods
@@karameldrizzletv im saying the opposite. greek gods were derived from them im thinking
U explained that very well. Thank You. I needed to know this n u explained it in my lengo 😁Sending Love and Light
This feels like Astrology.
1. Mercury (Gemini, Virgo, communication, hierarchies)
2. Saturn/Uranus (Capricorn, Aquarius, weapons, men, fathers, land, Africa, alchemy, rebellion)
3. Venus (Taurus, Libra, love, grace, beauty, peace)
4. Moon (Cancer, mothers, women, oceans, womb, tsunamis, protection, Asia)
5. Neptune/Jupiter (Pisces, Sagittarius, spirituality, purification, religion, abundance)
6. Mars/Sun (Aries, Leo, fire, raw male power, destruction)
7. Pluto (Scorpio, stillwater subterranean, raw female power, rebirth)
Omg I love this !
You are well appreciated, sharing with friends and my Son.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
you I like. Obulu (Ase), you cary the village in your blood and pass on our shared heritage (even tho I am Esan), we are one. stay blessed. and continue to do u. making ancestors proud by passing on knowledge. i smiled when u said "to all the Unlces and Aunties ..." (u know :-)
Great video wish it was longer!! However Yemaya is not Oshun's sister... Yemaya is her mother
Thank you !
I’ve separate videos on each Orisha now 😁 this was supposed to be a taster.
And I think it depends on the variant of the religion because when I did my research many people also said that they were sisters 😅.
They are sisters actually
I appreciate this video so much. I’m going to search for your African Spirituality videos. Asé
Love the video, showed it to my family.
Awww thank you 😊
Felt compelled to research Shango and ended up here 💜
3:50 E.T. is definitely inspired by Ogun I noticed because I’ve always been a huge E.T. Supporter they protect children
yes...I would like to see/know more...lets go deeper please. I am Christian and thats all I know..but I know that sometimes history is His- Story...so lets go
You did an amazing job, love the explanation and the pictures 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Wow i wasnt aware of this but ita very interesting
this god got a good spirit in him you gonna get far in life god
Great work, I've just recently got into looking into the history of these spirits
I am here because of my ancestry DNA results. It shows that I am 22% Nigerian and 22% west African Bantu. I’m just trying to learn more about my true culture.!!!! the other percentages came from places like Togo, benin ,Ivory Coast etc…
Keep up the good work and inspiration.
🤲👑🤲 Excellent

Thank you so much 🥰
AMAZING video, thank you for sharing!!!! ❤❤❤
This was such a great starting point for me. Thank you!
Great video! Glad someone is doing a video on the difference between the original worship of Orisha versus cuban santeria. I also have distant Nigerian, congo and Yoruba heritage. Ase!
Thank you! And I love that 😍 always great to learn about the beliefs of your ancestors

Loved this video

Yes I know right !! I’m so happy that people are really finding out how Beautiful African spirituality is
Very interesting , thanks for this video. I came here because someone mentioned the word Orisha on another video I was watching. So much love, light and blessings to you brother🙏❤❤
Thank you so much
Many blessings back to you sister 🥰🥰
I was in bed and had visions of a woman with fire dancing and I kept hearing “orisha orisha orisha”. And it lead me to this video so crazy
No I didn’t know anything about them but was always intrigued by them. I am from a Latino background so we a deeply rooted in them. Thanks for yours knowledge.
Yh It’s so interesting that how people of Latin and African descent are till connected whether that be spiritually or genetically 🥰I deffo want to travel to Latin American countries to experience the culture myself
I’m not descended from any tribe im more or less European but for whatever reason I’m drawn to the Orishas and I’m fascinated by them I don’t know if anyone else has felt that way but that has been my experience so far? 😅 thanks for the video tho I enjoy learning about them nonetheless
It’s not a closed faith there are many people of European descent who believe in them!
@@karameldrizzletv Yeah and there are unsurprisingly a lot of Europeans who will Appropriate the Orishas.
Our ANCIENT ANCESTORS don't work outside the bloodline
very interesting indeed
Thank u so much these videos are the ones that really count
That free Funimation promotion tho 😂.. great video 👍
