Orishas are spiritual beings in the Yoruba religion, primarily worshipped in West Africa and the Americas. They represent various natural forces and aspects of life, such as love, war, and fertility. Each Orisha has unique characteristics, symbols, and rituals associated with them, often serving as intermediaries between humans and the supreme deity, Olodumare. In addition to their religious significance, Orishas play a vital role in cultural practices, music, and dance. They are celebrated in various festivals and ceremonies, where devotees seek their guidance and blessings. The worship of Orishas has influenced many Afro-Caribbean religions, including Santería and Candomblé.
