ERINLE

Orisa Erinle is not an Irunmale, that is to say Erinle is not among the “igba/irun/otalelegbaje-imale” that descended from ikole Orun (heaven or better put the spiritual world) to Ikole aye (Earth or better put material world).

This Orisa is very popular and well known all over Yoruba land and of course among the Yoruba Americans, Cubans, Trinidadian, Latinos and many more outside the Yoruba nation in Nigeria. Many Erinle worshippers are in Remo, Ijebu, Abeokuta Egbado in Ogun state. In fact there are families in the above areas that bear Erinle and Abatan (known as a path in Erinle). Erinle is also known to be the patron Orisan to llobu an Ijesha town in Osun state. The town lies along river Erinle that takes its source from river Osun along Ogbomoso-Osogbo road. Ketu and Okuku are other towns where people worship Erinle a lot.

Erinle means land elephant. This super human being turned Orisa is recorded in history to be an herbalist, hunter and farmer of all kinds – fishing, animal husbandry. He is known to be an extremely wealthy and always well-dressed deity in refined garments adore with cowries, coral beads and plumage from hunted game.

Erinle is known to be a male Orisa in Yoruba land. Erinle’s uniqueness is all about his inhabitation of two worlds i.e. water and earth. Erinle heals with water (from ocean) and leaves and herbs from the forest, he hunts on land for animals and for fishes in the water.

Yemoja is known to be married to Erinle at one time. But Abatan, which some people called a path of Erinle, is the power wife of Erinle. Some say Erinle is male while Abatan is female. When someone takes initiation into Erinle and the Orisa is consecrated for him\her, he\she would also receive Abatan just as in Obatala and Osun in many parts of Yoruba land. Erinle’s color is white while Abatan’s color is yellow\gold. Abatan is known to be Erinle’s perfect mix of female energies.

Symbols of Erinle
Erinle’s symbols are the clay pot called “ Ogun Erinle” or Awo-ota Erinle. Erinle’s pot comes in different sizes, shapes and designs, particularly the lid or cover of the pot holding “ota”, “omi” etc., depending on where you are in Yoruba land. Some come with a bust on the lid, some with a crown structure, some have raised relics where other instruments like “aaja – two edged bronze or metal bell, “agogo”-flat edged bronze\meal gong which is struck with stick are kept. The bust is usually adorned with earrings, “gele” cloth or headscarf, etc. It is also very common to see Abatan’s container placed next to Erinle, while some Erinles pot lid\cover is called Abatan or have Abatan placed on them.

Another symbol at Erinles grove or shrine is the Opa Erinle i.e. Erinle’s staff. It is considered to be an Orisa in itself like the opa in OBATALA. It is about 20-30cm in height with one apical bird surrounded by four smaller ones each attached to the staff separately at a lower level to the apical one in the center. An elephant image and metal chains can also be found as Erinle symbol.

Feeding Erinle
Erinle can be fed in a shrine where one or all of the above symbol exist and consecrated as Erinle or by the side of a river, swamp or marshland where Abatan is believe to reside, where two water bodies meet, such as river and ocean or sweet and salt water or clean and dirty water.

Preach Truth to who? He should rather go and look for the Truth him self instead of living in his delusion. Can i ask u a honest question and i'm asking cos of your alias here 'ProphetUdeme', what is the difference between a prophet/Woli and a psychic /?

Abeg spear me the bullsh1t story, u mean the son that is the father and the father that became the son and they are both together in the holy (deceitful) spirit. Before u continue with your crap i was a Christian, what you call born again until i found truth.

Being a local religion, the yoruba religion is more attractive than any foreign religion.

macof: Great work Desifa, keep them coming.

May Olodumare bless you

PastorOluT:

The truth are

1. Jesus is the biggest lie ever sold to man kind.
2. He was sent to the household of Israel not me or my household or the entire Yoruba race.
3. Christianity and the Bible is hogwash.
4. Paul is the founder of what u call Christianity and should other wise be called "Paulinity".
