Thanks for watching guys!🌟 This video is longer than my previous videos, do you enjoy this more or would you rather I keep the videos more concise?

[@tenichigarner2351]

I definitely dig it. I think we all would profit more spiritually in learning more specifics about the Orisha and all of the particular entities and what they encompass. 🫡✊🏽

[@kindiekoach]

This is so intereesting I'm African American and have no knowledge of the religions and philosophies of the Yoruba people who I recently discovered that I am a part of. Not entirely, but this was a great video thank you for sharing!

[@Learnism1]

Glad you enjoyed it and learned something new! Interacting with Yoruba people in real life is the best way to learn more about the culture if possible :)

[@elvenstar32]

This is so interesting! I'd love a series. Also, and excuse my ignorance, a video on the similarities and differences between Yoruba and Santeria

[@Learnism1]

Definitely, I’ll make a comparison video at some point

[@stasiafrancis4520]

❤❤❤❤op.oo.oo9❤)l 😊😊p

[@Loyaltygamingpr]

Theres no comparison video is the same thing yoruba is the real name santeria was the name they gave to yoruba because spain catholic people were obligate to follow god soo they took the saints as a cover to prays there orishas 🙄

[@KhloeeYansa]

Im a babalawo and he’s right

[@obatalaosun2222]

​@@LoyaltygamingprThey definitely stem from the same root, but they are different branches; not only in aesthetics or style of expression, but in a lot of cosmology, philosophy and ceremonial practice. Santería (Lukumi) is an adaptation to the conditions we encounter and live in in the African Diaspora. The elements of syncretism with Catholicism go beyond iconography, and even the paradise are not all the same. I honor both traditions, but recognize the difference between the Mother and the child. Hope that helps anyone who reads this.

[@jaykellye]

keep up the good work. great stuff

[@Aajaaha]

Would love to learn more!

[@Learnism1]

More videos on the way! :)

[@frijolero6048]

Great video! This video reaffirms so many things I've learned about Yoruba. The only thing different from my learning is that Oludumare does not have a form, and does not have a gender. Olodumare has both feminine and masculine characteristics.

[@djyogione]

You should do a part 2. I would like to learn about all of them ❤

[@Learnism1]

Definitely!

Isaiah 45:7 “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”

[@THEONLYOBA]

Well this video is really good but let me clear up some errors. First off Olodumare is genderless so really can’t calm Olodumare a he/her. Second the Orisha aren’t Gods they are just aspects of the supreme being in yoruba spirituality/cosmology.

[@obatalaosun2222]

Asé

[@samuelkeithparrott158]

I understand there was no gender as well

[@Iyasekemimayowa]

Close to the end he did say that olodumare was genderless

[@justfree6213]

@@Iyasekemimayowa at the 6:49 mark so it’s obvious this person didn’t listen to the video.

[@justfree6213]

What’s good about it exactly? You didn’t seem to understand what was said although it was short.

[@rulaverse]

Cover more please 🙏🏿

[@olubajosonubi1963]

Good video, it is so rare to see anyone take time to explore and present information about the origins of African spiritual beliefs BEFORE Christian indoctrination. I don’t meant this as criticism, and while hope it doesn’t come off that way, please do with it what you will. I think it’s important to honor your awareness that Olorun or Oludumare doesn’t have a gender…and I believe using a completely non-gendered image would help drive home the point that Olorun is ALL and can’t be defined. Using the image of the black version of bearded old man in the sky 6:11 , emphasizes the strong influence of Western spiritual concepts already prevalent in modern Yoruba spirituality (which is often inescapable). But if that is part of the point of the video, then please ignore me and carry on with your good work sir. 😅 Also I’d love to connect to find out ways to support or help create.

[@joshuacooperseo]

This witchcraft is still practiced and never ceased. It potentially led to black Americans being captured so it must be weak 😂. And I’m not criticizing it. Christ was here in the beginning and believing in him transcends Yoruba religion of MYTHological deities. You can’t use a non-gendered image unless it’s blank 🤦🏿‍♂️😂. Serve the creator and not the creation.

[@obatalaosun2222]

I agree. The pictures during the Olodumare segment are actually depictions of Orişa Obatala (and even "he" is sometimes refer to as "Mother" in Odu Ifa).

My family didn’t practice the Yaruba religion but my grandfather was very young and died a tragic death and my grandmother essentially said that the first grandson would be him reincarnated and that was me. So I was named after him.

[@tenichigarner2351]

What do you know of the origins of voodoo?

[@BamgboyeTaiwo-wn7su]

Orisa in English translates to god's sake hy the hell is ogun called god of iron or sango god of thunder although they're originally aspects of olodumare ,in here we view them still as god's cause that's the only word to describe their might

[@YoungTeeza1990]

It’s olodumare( the masculine) olorun, and Olofi (which represents the feminine energy)

[@massigatandiogora2527]

A person already resembles inwardly and out relatives before they even die and several people at the sametime inherits the personalities.

Where do those that had bad deaths go? Example those that were murdered

[@Learnism1]

I believe that’s the end of their cycle of life :(

[@mrlee9349]

This is quite good . Though for the concept of evil the Yoruba people believe in terrestrial forces which are basically Esu and his lieutenants. Esu is primarily evil depending on who you ask. Those who consult him and use him of course find him good until they are not able to meet his terms. Those who are victims not so much. Plus a lot of Nigerian Yoruba people while obviously following modern religions i.e Islam or Christianity still maintain their cultural relationships(low/key). They are probably the most religiously tolerant people in the world with each member of a family free to practice whatever they want to. Overall great video.

[@Learnism1]

This is really insightful, I think exploring morality and the problem of evil within the religion is something more scholars should focus on. I’m glad you enjoyed the video, your suggestion from before inspired it! 🌟

[@atobiteadedunjoye1207]

Esu isn't primarily evil, that's not what he symbolizes. He functions so much more as a messengers between us and other orishá. There's a saying that before we give any orishá an offering, we give Esu first. He's very important to every single ẹbọ and veneration. He's not an evil deity nor is he necessarily good, the lines are blurred. It's because of Christianity that dubbed his name to mean the Abrahamic devil that there's this misconception.

[@maazi.naaniya9158]

@@atobiteadedunjoye1207 it's interesting and coincidence of course that there is Jesus, Yeshua who Christian say you have to deal with to get to God

Having common sense made me laugh at this, cause where do you think “Christianity” started? lol

[@SeanWinters]

@@morganlovejoy4722 From God Himself, THE ONE God, the alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, YHWH. He made a promise to Noah, then Abraham, which followed to Isaac and Jacob, into the land of Egypt, where from then on He battled against paganism. Christ is not "from" pagans, certainly not this form, He has ALWAYS been directly opposed to paganism. Read beyond headlines and stop reading conspiracy theories.

Just because it’s in your culture doesn’t mean it’s good for you as a believer in Yashua we are commanded by THE MOST HIGH to stay away from all these practices

[@BudSessions]

So why are U here?

[@EgunBiyi]

The video was okay Sha; but if you want to learn our traditon the right way, you must go to our (the) elders. Respectfully. Isese/IFA 🗣️🗣️ IS NOT A RELIGION!!!!!!!! But, it does "CONTAIN" religion.

[@Mboooo216]

Where do you recommend someone start who doesn’t have access to the elders? Im in America and I don’t really know where to begin. I am trying to understand who my ancestors are and their spirituality. It’s hard to do so when you don’t know where you are truly from.
