Best way to tap into our inner Orí? Tapping into our inner Orí, or inner consciousness, can be a powerful way to connect with our true selves and find guidance and direction in life.

The Adiye-Irana ritual, practiced by the Yoruba people, is a solemn ceremony performed for the deceased. In the past, it was considered an honorable tradition, and every Yoruba person desired to have this ritual performed when they passed away. The saying "it's better to die young with Adiye-Irana than to die old without one" reflects the significance placed on this ritual. The Adiye-Irana ritual serves as a metaphorical reminder to the Yoruba people that death is inevitable. It underscores the belief that everyone will eventually pass away, and death is not the end, but rather a transition from the physical world to the spiritual world, also known as Orisun. The ritual is seen as a journey taken by the deceased from the earth to another realm.

This belief is reflected in th...

In 1867, there was a great tension between the Christian community and adherents of the traditional religion in Abeokuta which was on the verge of snowballing into a s...
