Orun I Joseph Baba Ifa

In this video I speak about the Orisha "Oro", also known as "Orun" in the Lukumi tradition! I touch on how he is viewed in Yoruba culture, his relationship with other orishas, and the origins of the society associated with him!

I love learning about IFA and Orisa religion, and your videos are truly high quality. Thank you for providing this educated, informative, exact and clear teaching. It is appreciated. The time and energy you have spent in deep study is very clear.

[@williamdelong8265]

A BIG THANK YOU TO IFA'. Orula is second to Olodumare. God bless the Babalawo.Adupe Ajuba.

Can you talk about Egbe and if you have Orun and the Afrocuban tradition which should one get first or should Egbe be received?

[@JosephBabaIfa]

Will do! Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss it! Blessings!

Can you do a video on the spiritual meaning of bats?

[@Lightworkerasmr3]

I didn’t know orun is an orisa wow Àse

[@edwinthompson6173]

So basically having oro, osain and odadowuh and olokun 1 would become a very balance practitioner

[@JosephBabaIfa]

Depends on your odu of Ifa and initiatory status. Even if a person has all of these powerhouses but still hasn’t consecrated something as preliminary as Isan Egungun, they may still experience spiritual disequilibrium.

Who’s a more powerful deity when shango gets thrown in the equation?

[@antonioechevarria1587]

Iboru iboya oluo . Aqui awo orumila iwori bode. I received orun a few months ago. Can you work directly with him without an osode? If so how or where can I find how?

[@JosephBabaIfa]

Iboru, pleasure to meet you! Congratulations on receiving this deity! Ideally these answers would be coming from the person who gave this to you. If you have any further questions feel free to text me at [phone].

[@antonioechevarria1587]

Joseph Baba Ifa - thank you Joseph. Ill text you. BTW keep making these video’s . Awesome information on them. Not a whole lot of accurate information like yours out there about Orun, Oduduwa, Ozain, etc.

[@alejandrovaldes6192]

Great video! Can you please produce more Orisha videos?

[@bodieessiet9378]

Great video, thank you... i look forward to the upcoming video about the Ogboni society. One question tho, I am directly linked to the Efik tradition where we have Egbe, i believe the Afro Cuba call it Abakuá. Are there any similarities with Ogboni and Abakuá?

[@JosephBabaIfa]

First and foremost my brother thank you for watching the channel! It’s always a pleasure to interact with someone from your clan, which is one that I hold dear. There are definitely similarities between the Ogboni and Ekpe/Abakpa societies. The main difference is that the Leopard society is more usually more associated as fraternal, whereas there are female Ogboni. May Abasi and Muna bless us all!

[@sancista7crossroads83]

are they talking about senegal?

[@JosephBabaIfa]

The names are similar. It may have been Senegal's previous name. Thank you for the idea, I will delve more into this and see if there is any correlation.

Ok so here my issue with cuban dominant religions/spiritual practices. If the orishas and ifa came from yoruba land.... Where did all these elaborate rules and restrictions come from. Isese there are no restrictions to work with orishas, as long as ifa permits it. Its very disheartening and sad that practitioners pass their personal views off as law. Isese does not discrimination and neither does olodumare. Me personally I actively avoid cubans spiritually because they act like new age colonizers in my opinion.

[@JosephBabaIfa]

The clans that formulated the Lukumi faction had different customs than some of those in present day Isese. Cuba preserved Ifa in the West for 500 years before Isese arrived on the scene, to each his own.

[@mavrickvalor5231]

@@JosephBabaIfa So thank you for validating my point. Cubans want to take their personal views and pass them off as spiritual law. The only reason Lucumi was able to “hold it down” for 500 years because it had a FOUNDATION from isese. I really hope you don’t have any black/ Kongo decent god children 🤣
