Yoruba Religion

Yoruba Religion, originated from the Yoruba people of Nigeria, is an African traditional belief system that focuses on the worship of a supreme god, Olodumare, and various deities known as Orishas. Each Orisha represents different aspects of life and nature, serving as intermediaries between humans and the divine. Practices include rituals, offerings, and divination, often performed by priests or priestesses. Ancestor veneration is also significant, as it emphasizes respect for lineage and heritage. The religion is deeply intertwined with culture, art, and community life, emphasizing harmony, balance, and respect for the spiritual and material worlds.
