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.

Christianity EtcRe: Shango ~ The God Of Thunder, Lightning & Brimstone by Babalawos(op):
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?

There are various stories about Shango, all more or less unreliable but that he was indeed a god was clearly established.

So if you would like me to post the true history, incantation, ebo {sacrifice}, rituals, incantations, prayers, invocations, evocations....... of Shango "The God Of Thunder, Lightning And Brimstone" leave a comment below

Christianity EtcRe: Èjì Ogbè (baba Ifa) by Babalawos(op): 2:16am On Oct 13, 2016
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...................

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}

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:
I hadn't even heard of River Ethiope. I've just googled it. It seems to be located amongst the Delta ibos and the call it Onoku which I presume is related to Olokun. Very fascinating river.

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.

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:
Continue, so babalawos in yoruba land use bini language? or is that a bini specific prayer

Zenlife:
You sir are undoubtedly sharing superb knowledge.

Do kindly as detailed as possible enumerate the roles, functions, offices, mode of worship, sacrifices, required and frequency of appeasements, taboos, dos' and don'ts, powers etc of each of these deities:

1. Esu
2. Shango
3. Ogun

I ask because information on these deities online is very sketchy and not informative enough.
Teaching and sharing your knowledge of these deities on this forum will be heartily embraced.
Looking forward to lesson 1 in anticipation.

Thank you kindly sir.

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:
Oh well you mentioned consecrated water as an example, which begged for questions.

"As long as the foot print of the target is visible. You are good to go. [b]You can use consecrated water[/b]r on the print to achieve your goals and objectives"

And when asked, you give an excuse of a threadand won't answer it. Mr teacher, hence use examples that are thread related then.

OMG are you Kidding me?
Christianity EtcRe: Olokun Great Goddess Of The Sea ~ Worship, Divinations, Initiations, Invocations by Babalawos(op): 8:10pm On Oct 07, 2016
How did you know all these?



Ishilove:
Experience, though not personal.

Olokun is a marine spirit, and when all these marine spirits want something from someone or a family, they make life a living hell for that family/person. They reduce the person to zero, dispatch spirit husband (Oko orun okuku) to further to torment their victim, and in some cases kill the loved ones of their victim or even the victim herself.

Unlike the kingdom of the Most High God, there's no free will in marine kingdom, especially if they have a legal ground in that person's life through soul ties or covenants.

There's nothing wonderful about them. They're very wicked, stubborn and uselessly proud.
Christianity EtcRe: ASE {spiritual Powers} ~ How To Activate & Grow Your Ase by Babalawos(op): 8:08pm On Oct 07, 2016
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.

SIGN OF WEAK ORI

If you are been beaten or chased or harassed or tormented or imprisoned in your dream? You have a weak Ori. You are prey!

SIGN OF STRONG ORI

If you destroy or beat or chase or harass or torment or imprison your enemies in your dream? You have a strong a strong Ori. You are predator!

WEAK AND STRONG ORI EXPLAINED

Weak or strong Ori has nothing to do with your physical appearance, occupation, statue, location, tribe, qualification....... etc

You can be a babalawo, imam, archbishop, bishop, apostle, reverend, pastor...... etc and still have a weak Ori

And you can be a common shrine member, mosque member, church member..... etc and still have a strong Ori because Ori is spiritual

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.
