Yoruba tradition

Yoruba tradition is a rich cultural heritage from the Yoruba people of West Africa, emphasizing community, spirituality, and ancestral reverence. It encompasses intricate rituals, elaborate ceremonies, and a belief in a supreme god, Olodumare, along with many lesser deities called Orishas, who represent natural forces and human qualities. Ancestors are honored and consulted for guidance. Art, music, dance, and storytelling hold vital roles in preserving history and identity. These traditions influence social norms, moral values, and festivals, fostering a strong sense of identity and continuity within Yoruba communities.
