I will use the Yoruba as an example. Like all original Earth peoples, there was no fascism about God in the Yoruba or Ife culture. When a child is born, an Awo will be patronised to determine the child's esentaiye, the path the child will follow in life, the risks, what or where he or she should avoid and under the energy of which Orisa is the child born and etc. The esentaye divination and ceremony is the first spiritual guidance done for the child, later the child is circumcised.

When the child becomes an accountable adult, he will be likely to approach the Alagbaa in his community to assist him or her in making and consecrating a tutelary deity to use as a personal tool, possibly in a personal shrine for spiritual guidance. This deity is her or his personal property, named by him or her for use for spiritual guidance. Before making the deity, the prospective owner will pledge to the Alagbaa what he will be using per term to propitiate the deity. May be a cow, a he goat, a gourd of palmwine and etc. This is what the Alagbaa will table before the chief deity of the community of which the Alagbaa is chief priest or custodian. Once the decision is made it will be final and if you want to disconnect from the tutelary deity, there are also procedures. A tutelary deity is usually a personal property which is thrown away after a person's demise. Apparently the so called God of Abraham mentioned in the Bible was Abraham's tutelary deity that an Alagbaa in Sumeria assisted him to make and consecrate. The tutelary deity of Abraham used to take human sacrifices. Among the Yoruba, an individual often throws an annual party for his or her tutelary deity. He may don the mask himself as Eegun or get someone to don it, throw a party for friends and family and also attend other people's annual parties of thesame nature.

Then there can be family deities, clan deities and national deities, all imbued with the ashe of Olodumare. Then there are also well established priesthoods of various orishas. Each of the four days of the week is dedicated to an orisha as its Sabbath or work free day. So in the past in Yoruba land, everyday was Sabbath for some people who are adherents or children of the orisha who owns that day like Orunmila, Sango, Ogun, Obatala, Iyami and etc. Two or more orisas do share one day and the priesthoods are distinct from each other. The priest use divination but the professional diviners are the Orunmila or Ifa priests who sometimes may refer people to the priests of other orisas for one thing or the other. It was a very organised and thriving industry that solved the spiritual needs of people for thousands of years.

The guardian deity of our town Ere Ijesa is the spirit of the Koje river known as the Onikoje. So all Ere Ijesa indigenes are till today hailed as Omo Onikoje. The guardian deity of Ipetu Ijesa, my mother's town is the Olokun. The Ibadan have the Okebadan. Osogbo is Osun, Iwo is the spirit of the Oba river and etc etc.

I believe the ideal human society should have that kind of theocratic arrangement under a guardian deity as did all ancient peoples. Secularism has failed woefully and Science has acknowledged the existence of non material matter, so we need to admit the certainty of the existence of non material beings who are our guardians. It is just logical. So under that kind of theocratic arrangement, all peoples living in a country will have to submit to the chosen guardian deity of that nation to earn their stay in that country and all groups preaching against such an arrangement will be summarily proscribed. You dont come bad mouthing my benefactor and think I will embrace you. This will mean the stamping out of Christianity and Islam globally. That was the way our ancestors lived and prospered all over the globe before the advent or invention of Abrahamic spiritualities or religions and that is what the entire globe needs to go back to so that this human civilization will not collapse.


May Olodumare assist us. Ashe.
