Orishas are spiritual beings in the Yoruba religion, originating from the Yoruba people of Nigeria. They are considered intermediaries between humans and the supreme god, Olodumare. Each orisha embodies specific natural elements, human traits, and aspects of life, such as love, war, and fertility. In the practice of Santería, which blends Yoruba beliefs with Catholicism, devotees honor orishas through rituals, offerings, and prayers. Each orisha has unique symbols, colors, and sacred objects associated with them, reflecting their distinct personalities and powers. This connection fosters a deep spiritual relationship between the orishas and their followers.
