The Yoruba Religion is a traditional belief system practiced by the Yoruba people, primarily in Nigeria and parts of Benin and Togo. It centers around a pantheon of deities known as Orishas, each representing different aspects of life and nature. Followers believe in a supreme god, Olodumare, who created the universe and delegates power to the Orishas. Rituals, offerings, and prayers are essential for maintaining harmony with these spiritual beings.
An important aspect of the Yoruba Religion is the concept of Ase, which refers to the life force or spiritual energy that flows through all things. This energy is harnessed through rituals, music, and dance, connecting practitioners to the divine. Ancestor veneration is also significant,
