The way you yell his name like that... I think you will scare him off...🤣🤣🤣, because he is a soft spoken, calm, logical orisha. He loves to challenge us. So he will send out people to make life difficult. Personally, he needs to give those of us with disabilities a break. 🤔🥺Anyways thank you so much for your video. So much wisdom for such a young lad. Ase.
Hi folks now remember Obatala doesn’t get to be Oba for nothing he has aspects,Roads,avatars of warriors as well.He can when angered be hotter than the red Orisa (Shango,Oggun, Oya Soppono(Babaluaiye, Aganju,Oina,those whose energies are manifested in war bloodshed, illness, Etc He’s truly Big Papa.under Olofin Olorun,Oloodumare (Yoruba equivalent of the Creator God)
“Give those of us with disabilities a break.” Thank you! All the traumas I endured made me lose faith in a higher power because I know damn well all that wasn’t my karma. I been living/struggling with undiagnosed autism all my life and worse It’s funny my favorite color was white before I had a reading and found out my orisha was Obatala
I love the information in this video, however, multiple orishas have roads/aspects to them where they are the opposite gender. The orisha represents energies that we are either born with or developed over time, so when we research them, we get the luxury of seeing that energy in different scenarios male, female, feminine, masculine, rich, poor, etc. when receiving divination you get the story that applies to your life specifically.
Bro, great vid. I just learned of Obatalá recently and decided to do some research which brought me to your video. Can I just say as someone who often zones out of youtube videos like this very quickly yours was great, you're an engaging speaker which I appreciate a lot. Keep up the good work :)
So I'm listening to this video while I'm in the shower, and a spider comes swinging down from the ceiling. I decided to stop the shower and get out so the water and steam didn't kill it. Next thing i know the dang spider is swinging towards me like it's on a bungee cord 🕷️!!! So i ran. The end❤️🕷️💚
I’ve actually seen similar white outfits worn by people of many faiths I wonder if it originated from obatala too. Africans really are the blueprint lol
Since the lore is passed down verbally, I’ll bet it’s more “genuine” compared to other religions. In history, literacy and access to printing presses were elite hobbies, so the wealthy would insert their ideologies into their Holy Books… eliminate the books and you eliminate the possibility of adulteration to benefit the wealthy and privileged…
1 minute and 56 seconds in you mentioned. Oblatala asked olokuun permission to build? Dont you mean olofii? Olokuun Watches over the deep dark. That doesn't have enough light to produce plants. I'm asking if maybe this was A. Typo? I'd love to get some type of clarification from you. Thank you so much. Love your stories by the way
Theres is another pataki that it was obatal sleve(the monkey)who created the deformed people he wanted to be like obatala and waited for him to sleep and created the deformence
Its honestly not something a lot of our parents who truly lived with it mostly because of how deep and intense it actually is. Orishas are very expecting when they provide and you have to be fully committed not just time but with offerings and prayers to avoid reverse effects which are often very intense.
According to Baale Olukunmi Egbelade- Yemoja (& before her, was “Yemoo”) was the female Orisha that helped Obatala create the first human bodies. Yemoja provided Obatala with her divine-water, as one cannot have clay without water, & most of the human body is water. There is a gender-fluidity to Obatala s/he, & female paths. Both the feminine & masculine create human life, but the feminine does the majority of that sacred work. Yemoja is the paramount Orisha of motherhood, as she is the (metaphysical) mother of all Orishas & the mother of humanity etc. Like the Orisha Yemoo, Yemoja is typically pared with Obatala. And Yemoja was one of the 16 Orishas sent by Olodumare to create creation/Earth. Both Yemoja & Obatala have tremendous Aje (female power/energy). Please don’t do what christians & colonizers did, & male-wash god & human-creation symbolism within Yoruba religion. Olodumare is genderless & is God, but is represented through they’re children the major-Orishas. Love your mothers, they literally risked their lives to sculpt you with their eggs & wombs. Iyami-Aje.
Thank you for your comment I appreciate the feedback and I’m learning a lot. There are different interpretations of the story as you said “ACCORDING TO” as you probably know Ifa is not a written religion there isn’t a bible so there thousands is stories and interpretations.
How can Yemoja do most of the work if it can't be completed without Obatala? Why make it a competition? You're showing your bias. You Americans corrupt everything you touch and see lol
My disagreements in this video are two: where he said that it would be rare for Ọ̀ṣun to have male priests dressed in yellow. That's wrong because the title of Baálè or "Chief priest" of a temple is always a man. Women are more likely to be involved in spiritual life in general as it always has been there so they make the greater part of the community and this is accross the board for all orisha whether male and female. Yemọja in Lukumi is the wife of Ọbàtálá, in Yorùbáland it's Yémowó. Ọbàtálá and Yémowó give birth to Yemọja and Orangan which give birth to all other Òrìṣà.
@@izdiharmuhammadproductions4640 to my knowledge the story isn't a moral lesson but an illustration of a universal concept. The story belongs to the Odu, eji ogbe, which is the first signature in both forms of divination. It represents beginning of all things, especially that of consciousness which leads ultimately to the development of good character.
@@karameldrizzletv you are right my apologies. I spoke to a chief Ọbàtálá priest that lives out here in nyc and he confirmed that Yemọja is Ọbatàlá second wife and that she's responsible for his protection from Ìyámi.
There are different variations of the the Yoruba creation story 🤷🏽♂️. When doing my research this was the most consistent. Thank you for letting me know though I will 100% look into this
Son, don't get yourself in confusion born of ignorance. Obatala is a Male Orisa in Yorubaland so, keep it that way. New age identity of Orisa are oftentimes far from true meaning of what Yoruba people called Orisa. I'm a Yoruba person and a practitioner of Orisa spiritual way of life for many decades. Obatala Oba Takun-takun L'ode Iranje..., Heepa Orisa!
Do you even know how to speak Yoruba? Because there’s never even been a word to describe a male in the language. Please do your research before you make any claims against me
@@karameldrizzletv Firstly, if you actually speak Yoruba which is my mother tongue, you will know straight away from the Oriki of Obatala that i mentioned in my comment that Obatala was called Oba = King as opposed to Ayaba =Queen. Likewise in Odu Eji-Ogbe of Ifa, Obatala is called the "king of white cloth" and not queen or androgeny. Secondly, in Yoruba language, a male is Okunrin and a female is Obinrin, we also have other ways to reference male and female gender. Thirdly, you need to learn humility and Yoruba language!
@@karameldrizzletv I think in the diaspora Obatala is indeed androgenous, but AW may be right about Yorubaland. It seems that teachings were lost in both the Motherland and in the new world. So, what seems to have happened is a teaching that survived in the new world did not survive in the motherland and vis versa. I think that is where the disagreement may lie.
Obatala is also known as the 'King of the White Clothes' and no Orisha is above him except Oloddumare which is the Supreme Being among the Yorubas.
Exactly 💯💯💯 agreed

Great information! Thank you! I am getting so much clarity now
I’m glad you got something from it 😅 sometimes I think I waffle too much 😂
I am glad that I found your series of presentations. I will be binge watching them this week. Thank you for sharing.
I've also got that Nigeria Football track top!!💗💗. It's mint. Love the videos brother. Keep it up.
Thank you so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Big ups fam loving every bit from edo state Nigeria❤️
Thank you brothers I appreciate it 🙏🏽
Would love to hear about the orisha's in edo state if possible or is all the orisha's from yoruba alone
Appreciate these videos. Keep it up 👍🏾
Thank you
Will do 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Absolutely love your channel. So glad I found your page
I align with him more than the others
Me too!
I have obtala 😁 keep up the good work
Everything in nature has masculine and feminine aspects. This doesn't make Obatala gender fluid by any means. OBA is King not Queen
Sure
I’ve actually seen similar white outfits worn by people of many faiths I wonder if it originated from obatala too.
Africans really are the blueprint lol
You can say that again lol
Yh the Nation of Islam wear white and the white garment do too.
Tho I don’t know if they are linked with each other
😂😂 it’s true
😢 yeah exactly 💯

Always with the new intro 😂
Yup 😂😂😂
Thank you
My dad knows all about the orisha but he doesn’t teach me what you do think you
🙏🏽 I was in the same situation too my family know all about them but they choose to not really talk about It

My fave also x 👏🙏
He’s so cool
😁😁
What do you have to say about ancient Egyptian Gods starting mankind?
I love Egypt mythology and I will talk about it on my channel but I don’t believe that 😅
ZESU created the Caucasian race
(mankind - they kind of a man)
The Caucasians are from PLANET NIRN that's where ZESU created them
You should also talk about Lwas too it means olouwa in Haitian and Dominican Vodou
😀👍Thanks!
Had you done a video on Oshunmare? My favourite 😊
Tell me about them !
No cap this story seems oddly similar to the pictures depicted in Egypt
All orishas have sons and daughters not just obatala
I never said that
I deffo recognise him from somewhere 🤔
Yh he is the main character in the creation story after all 😅
💚✨️🙏✨️💚
Eeepa orisa ooo

What does the story mean or represent? Is there a moral the Yoruba people pull from it?
My full story video is coming soon so it will much more clearer
@@karameldrizzletv thank you.
Jst found out my orishas are obatala n yemoja
Yessss two of my favourites too!
My orishas is obatala
And yemoja
STRONG J in his wife’s name Je-Mo-JAH
Not necessarily it depends on the language in Yoruba we don’t say that 😁 and that’s where Orisha originated from.😅
Letter J just came into play ...
*YeMoJa*
Pronunciation
What is the song at the end of the video?? 🥺
Ase
How about "Oke?"
You are extremely cute 😂❤
Thank you dear
Bro great information but you need to learn the proper pronunciation of the Orishas especially O - BA - TA - LA not OB - BATALA
