Orïsha refers to the deities or spirits in the Yoruba religion, which originates from the Yoruba people of Nigeria. Each Orïsha represents a specific aspect of nature, human experience, or a particular force, and they are often associated with various elements such as water, earth, and fire. Worship of the Orïsha involves rituals, offerings, and prayers to seek guidance and blessings. In the broader context, Orïsha is also central to the practice of Candomblé and Santería, religions that blend Yoruba beliefs with elements of Catholicism. These practices have spread to various parts of the world, particularly in the Americas, where they continue to thrive and evolve within diverse communities.
