Hello Non ATR Initiate

Osun Osogbo Sacred Grove is a sacred forest along the banks of the Osun river just outside the city of Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria.

The Osun Osogbo Grove is among the last of the sacred forests which usually adjoined the edges of most Yoruba cities before extensive urbanization. In recognition of its global significance and its cultural value, the Sacred Grove was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005.

The 1950s saw the desecration of the Osun Osogbo Grove: shrines were neglected, priests abandoned the grove as customary responsibilities and sanctions weakened. Prohibited actions like fishing, hunting and felling of trees in the grove took place until Austrian, Susanne Wenger, came and stopped the abuse going on in the grove.

With the encouragement of the Ataoja and the support of the local people, "Wenger formed the New Sacred Art movement to challenge land speculators, repel poachers, protect shrines and begin the long process of bringing the sacred place back to life by establishing it, again, at the sacred heart of Osogbo.

Every year, the Osun festival is celebrated in the month of August at the grove. Yearly, the festival attracts thousands of Osun worshippers, spectators and tourists from all walks of life.

For the people of Osogbo Land, August is a month of celebration, traditional cleansing of the city and cultural reunion of the people with their ancestors and founders of the Osogbo Kingdom.

The Osun Festival is a two-week-long programme. It starts with the traditional cleansing of the town called 'Iwopopo' which is followed in three days by the lighting of the 500-year-old sixteen-point lamp called 'Ina Olojumerindinlogun'.

Ina Olojumerindinlogun, the sacred lamp lit at the beginning of the annual Osogbo festival, then comes the 'Ibroriade', an assemblage of the crowns of the past ruler, Ataojas of Osogbo for blessings. This event is led by the sitting Ataoja of Osogbo and the Arugba, Yeye Osun and a committee of priestesses.

Itan Ijapa ati Yannibo. Have you ever seen that Yemoja for once? Keep deceiving urself. Yorubas and idol worshipping are like the index finger and middle finger in closeness. You better return to your God, who creates everything that exist and even d idols you worship.

What is the history of the Osun Osogbo grove, is this where the healing river is?

Hi Non ATR Initiate

Most people, when they think of Osun, they think of her as only a river Goddess, or a fertility Goddess, the “Afrikan Venus. However, she is much, much, more than that.

Let me now explain to you who Osun is: Osun is central to Yoruba thought and praxis. Her power is multidimensional.

Osun’s name means “source.” from the word “orisun.” The source of a river, people, of children, of wealth, of life.

Osun represents the perpetually renewing source of life. As the elemental power of water, she makes life possible. Osun is the child-giving and curative power of water.

She is Odo Aro, the “blue river,” the birth canal where our ori is developed. What some people forget, is that Osun is also the owner of Eerindinlogun – sixteen cowrie divination.

She is also the source and condition of political power, as leader of the Aje (the Mothers, Iyami). As such, she is a founder of the Ogboni Society, the council of elders that bestow kingship.

Like Esu, she can change at will. She can be the loquacious and beautiful young flirt who succeeds by killing you with kindness, or the deadly serious old woman, owner of the “spiritual eye” (mystical power); she can be rich or poor, loving or vengeful.

She is the Benevolent Mother and the Fierce Warrior. She heals with her cool waters and destroys indiscriminately with her raging floods. She is the creator of children, fertility squared, yet she is the leader of vengeful spirits (Aje) who will take any child away at the drop of a hat.

She is the fierce defender of her children (priests and priestesses). She cries when she is happy, and laughs when she is sad. To accentuate her dual natures, Osun carries a brass cooling fan in one hand and a brass cutlass in the other. Strength and compassion; brass and honey.

In Yorubaland, Orisa serve as the glue that holds communities together. Each town or city has a founding narrative that includes the founding Orisa and intertwines facts, myths and metaphor.

Ijesa, Osun State, Nigeria

These mythistories create “community-ship,” which is at least as strong as the larger sense of citizenship. Ijesa country in Osun State, Nigeria, is the center of Osun worship.

It is the place of the largest annual Osun festival. People come from all over the world to attend the festival and be blessed and/or healed by the sacred waters of the Osun river at the city of Osogbo.

Osun History

In the Osogbo mythhistory, it is said that a prince (Olarooye) from Ilesa, went out to found a new city due to a water shortage in Ilesa. He set out with his buddy, a hunter named Timehin (an incarnation of Ogun), and they led the expeditionary group in search of a water source.

They came upon the Osun river. To make a long story short, they settled there with the blessing and protection (she and Timehin ran off the invading Tapa – warriors from the north) of Osun.

I was born believing those rubbish up there. How I wish I could forget all of those things. It saddens my heart whenever I see people doing those idol worshipping. How I wish you could understand.

What about the goddess coming out to show herself to the people. I heard it used to happen before

You call your ancestors rubbish?

Hi
can you comment further on the role of the paramount traditional ruler of Ijesha in Osun in the worship of Oshun.
What exactly do the royal families of that place worship or are supposed to worship ?

You was born believing something and then brainwashed by the white to believe theirs which can not be proving than you believing what you are told .

Please, what's the pride in this? Still gullible religious Nigerian blood

You are not going to live forever, will you? Remember this: "your children children will also refer you as a rubbish ancestor." It is called karma!

I was born believing it bro, Now my eyes don open. I'm not brainwashed. Every religion calls to good, but how do we know the religion of The Almighty. I used to question myself if I'm brainwashed or not. Check my articles.

You aren't brainwashed, then how did your eyes open, not by what was preached to you, or you just wake up one day and know the religion and the definition of Almighty

You are doing a very good job..i wish I had met you earlier.
Our problems as individual and as a community started when we took other peoples beliefs as our reality. Whatever problem we are facing is self inflicted. We cut our selves from our roots and whatever you cut from the roots, with time will only wilder and die..we are the only people in this planet that worships a God that does not look like us..all hope is not still lost, all we have to do is reattach ourselves to our roots...

Believe me " We will prosper"

So Christians dont worship idols? The crucifix of Jesus is what? Or the image of Mary praying or the image of Mary carrying baby Jesus is what? Churches are filled with Idols. You are more confused than your ancestors!
