Through divination's, sacrifices, rituals, prayers, songs, dances, incantations, crafts, festivals, spirit possessions, dreams, herbalism, the acquisition of esoteric knowledge and many other means, practitioners of African tradition religion engage with the world on every level using every one of their senses and sensibilities. They mend what is broken, balance what is asked and maintain equilibrium until the time comes to mend and rebalance again. It is this intricate, fascinating and empowering process that we look forward to exploring today. Let's Discuss African Tradition Religion; Let's Discuss Divination's, Sacrifices, Rituals, Prayers, Songs, Dance, Incantations, Ancient Crafts, Festivals, Spirit Possessions, Dreams, Herbalisms & Lots More Here |
HISTORY OF SHANGO "GOD OF THUNDER, LIGHTNING & BRIMSTONE" There are several versions of Shango history but two of these versions are most popular in yorubaland. Namely the secular Shango history and priestly Shango history SECULAR SHANGO HISTORY About two centuries ago, there reigned a King in the old town of Oyo (known to early explorers as Eyeo of atunga) which was situated near the south bank of the river Niger to the north of the Yoruba country. Shango was a powerful and wise monarch. He was a great medicine man (witch-doctor) and was able to kill people by ejecting fire from his mouth. His reign was tyrannical and cruel. He had two chief ministers of whom he was jealous and set these to fight against each other, hoping both might be slain but he was himself deposed by the one who came off victor in the fight. Shango fled, accompanied by his three wives, Oya, Oshun and Oba and some of his most loyal followers. He wandered in the bush, being gradually deserted by all until only his favorite wife, Oya, remained. Then in despair, Shango hung himself from a tree. Oya fled north and became presiding goddess of the river Niger. Travelers who had seen the body of Shango hanging from a tree entered the town and reported "0ba so" i.e. "the King has hanged himself." This report spread throughout the town. The friends of Shango were so incensed that they determined to avenge their deceased monarch. They took a number of small calabashes or hollow gourds and filled them with gunpowder. They then covered them with coconut fiber and put slow matches to them and waited for the next tornado. When hurricane came, they ignited the bombs and threw them into the thatched roofs of many houses. The resultant explosions and fires caused the panic-stricken people to cry out, "Why are all our houses burning?" The friends of Shango then came forward, saying, "Oh, you said Oba so" "the King has hanged himself" "0ba ko so!" "the King has not hanged himself". i.e "he is angry with you for this." He has became a god and has gone up into heaven and sent down the lightning to punish you. You must bring out oxen, sheep, fowls, palm oil......... etc and offer sacrifices to him and henceforth worship him and then he will forgive you." Thus they established the worship due him as an orisha. PRIESTLY SHANGO HISTORY But the Shango story as above will not be acceptable to the priestly house of Koso in Oyo. There the orthodox story is mainly as follows: Two of Shango wives were very quarrelsome; and there were also a few complaints from the subjects of Shango concerning his tyranny. Shango became angry with everybody, mounted his horse and went into the forest. For a long time he was expected back but in vain. When he did not return, people feared that he had gone in a fit of temper to hang himself. So they went in search of him; he was not found but his horse was. The searchers therefore called out; "Where are you, O king? Have you hanged yourself?" To which he replied from a long distance; "NO, I have not hanged myself!" Then come back to us, we want you" they called back. But he replied; "NO, since there has been so much trouble in the land and so many complaints against me from you all, I will not come back to you; I will now rule you unseen." So he ascended to heaven by a chain which sprang from a tree. From heaven he have since then manifested his kingship by lightning and thunder. One can understand why the priestly house of Koso stick to this "orthodox" version of the account of the apotheosis of Shango! Whatever version of the story is told, the important thing is that people became convinced that Shango ascended to heaven and that he became the god of thunder, lightning and brimstone. NOTE ~ Now that you have read the secular and priestly version of Shango history, so which of these versions do you believe? Thank you for reading, leave a comment

21 days and Yes you can loose it Nostradamus: |
It all depends on the instruction you received. Some instructions are general while others are personal. You should consult Ifa for answers or you should contact your babalawo for further clarifications................... Nostradamus: |
Yes, ase can be use to curse enemies but I will advise you use it for blessing Nostradamus: |
To harness spiritual powers is no joke. It takes self discipline, self control and self mastery. This is the reason most people go for external ase {charms} Nostradamus: |
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO. TO FULLY UNDERSTAND AFRICAN TRADITION RELIGION, YOU MUST FULLY UNDERSTAND AFRICAN HISTORY AND CUSTOM. THEY BOTH COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER! INSTEAD OF AFRICANS TO STUDY THEIR ANCESTRAL HISTORY AND CUSTOM, THEY ARE BUSY STUDYING THE HISTORY AND CUSTOM OF ISRAEL {CHRISTIANITY / JUDAISM HISTORY AND CUSTOM} OR SAUDI ARABIA {ISLAM HISTORY AND CUSTOM} PastorAIO: |

OLOKUN WORSHIP SONG A popular worship song praises Her omnipotence: A ighigbe oba n' amel I vba oba n' ame mwen OLOKUN WORSHIP SONG INTERPRETATION (You do not fight the king of the water/ I come to meet the king of the water for help). Every ritual action performed, every object used and every image drawn or painted on the floor of the shrine was a tool for conveying prayer. Olokun worship is affected by the direction of the sun, time of day and calendar day. The Goddess is served either in the morning or in the evening as the sun begins to bend in the west.

You should ask your eji ogbe questions on my eji ogbe thread here ~ https://www.nairaland.com/3366001/eji-ogbe-baba-ifa Davidbee: |
Olokun is mainly worshiped in the southern part of Nigeria; "Edo, Delta, Beyalsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers" because these Nigeria states have boundaries with the ocean and Olokun is the Great Goddess of the ocean. These tribes have strong tie with Olokun. So Evoking, Invoking and summoning Olokun with bini or any other southern Nigerian dialect proof more potent from my personal experience. A geography textbook regarding Nigeria states and capitals will be ok for you. So can I continue with my Olokun class? Ubenedictus: |

Because creating a consecrated water in African tradition religion is a complex topic. Items needed for consecrated water in African tradition religion are: {1} Native pot {2} Divinities leafs {3} Back of powerful trees {4} Head of black goat {dog or cat.......} {5} River / Sea water {6} Alligator pepper {7} Sacred Stone..... Zenlife: |
How did you know all these? Ishilove: |
During initiations, there are ebos (sacrifices), incantations, prayers........... to invoke divine forces upon the new initiate to activate and harness his or her ase and connect it to a particular ase of an Orisa. Ishilove: |
It should be the first words you speak in the morning Nostradamus: |
That is a wrong e-mail address and that is certainly not my e-mail address. Cross check my email address here ~ http://nativedoctor.ml Zenlife: |

This thread is not for consecrated water and formulas. So I will not answer your question Zenlife: |
I have posted ase usefulness on this thread. Re-read this thread! Dejiih001: |
Ase which is also known as àṣẹ or ashe is a spiritual ability through which the power to make things happen and produce change. It is given by Eledumare to everything like gods, ancestors, spirits, humans, animals, plants, rocks, rivers and voiced words such as songs, prayers, praises, curses or even everyday conversation. Ase also has important qualities and ase means power, authority, command................... A person who through training, experience and initiation, learns how to use ase to willfully effect change is called an alaase. Did I answer your question? Ishilove: |
The use of ase is for your spoken words to take effects and Yes, ase is present in every human being PLS NOTE ~ The Orisa for ase is ESU Nostradamus: |
Are you assuming or you are talking from your personal experience? Ishilove: |
