oshé !

[@olatunjibanwo5161]

Sir can someone use bar beach water to pray to olokun?

[@aboniblack6756]

You have water in your house, use it to pray. If you want salty water, add some spoonfuls of salt (depending on the volume of water to be used). Water is water anywhere on Earth. If you leave in Sahara Desert, will you be looking for Ocean water before you can do your prayers? Or you will travel to the Atlantic Ocean to fetch a tank load? So, speak to the water you fetched in your area, and do your prayers afterwards. Water is water! And it has memory of all that have happened on Earth.

Hmmm, I guess Iyemọja is NOT the ocean goddess...just as we have been saying all along! Iyemọja nló lodò. Olókun ló lòkun!

[@aboniblack6756]

Some of those stories are just fables. They are never unanimous in their stories of Yoruba deities or Orisas.

[@husseintiamiyu2741]

Well, Yemoja is more like a gatekeeper to all water bodies. Onibode gbogbo Omi. She has access to them all and is connected to them all.

[@iwindara]

@@husseintiamiyu2741 now that is a better response. We do call Iyemọja "Omíjọrí.". She is also "Oníbodè ijù" - gatekeeper to the wilderness, referencing the sources of the river Ògùn high up in Ọ̀yọ́ state. Someone else said she can be seen as a herald of the sea, of sorts. Still, Iyemọja's home is the river. The mention of the sea (òkun) and lagoon (ọ̀sà) is an oral literary device used as metaphor to express grandeur of whoever or whatever its used for.

Too many confusion in Yoruba mythology and too many lies. Some will tell us Olokun is black and is a male. Others will say Olukun is light skin and is a woman. This woman is now telling us that Olokun descended from heaven, and all the stuff. The so called Olokun with all her power still visited Orunmila to seek for solutions to her problems. Eventually, they got married. Afterwards, Olukun married another man, Obarese, when she transformed from an old woman to a young beautiful girl. And from this woman's account, Olokun and Orunmila are both living in the Ocean, in Lagos. 😅😅 All these Yoruba traditionalists and so called spiritualists are just formulating useless stories here and there. If you are still in doubt, go interview another Olukun priest/priestess, you will hear another different fable.

The same happen to other religion which you dont even know the origin and they will compel you to speak the language you dont u nderstand they will tell you that is the only language that God accepted

[@GetaBetterLifeTV]

No lies, no confusion... you only need to hear a story from the right source.

[@husseintiamiyu2741]

You just don't understand because you haven't studied other religious pantheons. Just like Hindu mythology, the deities have their primordial forms and avatars with various actions and experiences. There are about 3 known avatars of Olokun. Ijinji would be the primordial Olokun, Ajaokoto, seni Ade and Asorodayo are probably other avatars. Don't rubbish what you don't understand.
