The Orisa were sent by Olodumare from heaven (orun) to create the earth, and that is why each of the Yoruba Orisa represent an element of nature. The <a href=\"https:\/\/ileawo.com\/en\/orisa-yoruba\/offerings-orisa\/\">propitiation<\/a> to the Orisa is what helps us solve everyday problems, although each of them has their specialization. Read on and you will learn how Orisa initiation, snail divination, the types of Yoruba Orisa that exist and how offerings are made.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; bg_type=&#8221;bg_color&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1589979432871{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;background-color: #f6f6f6 !important;}&#8221; bg_color_value=&#8221;#f6f6f6&#8243; el_class=&#8221;flex-row-tablet&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-md-8&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The initiation of the Orisa<\/h2>\n<p>Each of the Yoruba Orisa has their own initiation ceremony. In traditional practice, people who are initiated into an orisa are called Babalorisa (if a man) and Iyalorisa, in the case of women.<\/p>\n<p>It is the Babalorisa or the Iyalorisa of a certain deity who will be able to initiate other people into the worship of that particular orisa. In this regard, it is necessary to clarify that in traditional practice no person who conducts an Ifa or Orisa ceremony calls himself Oba or Oriate. In Yoruba the literal translation of Oba is King, and it is a hereditary title, which a prince receives once the King dies. For this reason, no babalorisa can hold the titles of Oba or Oriate.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/ileawo.com\/en\/practice-ifa-traditional\/babalawo-ifabiyii-akoda\/\">babalawo<\/a> or iyanif\u00e1 can also conduct an orisa initiation ceremony as long as he is also initiated into this deity. Unlike in Cuba, in traditional practice it is not necessary to be a Babalorisa or Iyalorisa to start in If\u00e1 through the Itelodu ceremony. This means that a person can start in If\u00e1 without having any previous orisha ceremony, as well as it is not necessary to be babalawo or iyanif\u00e1 to start in the worship of any of the Yoruba deities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-md-4&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1577462736701{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3250&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1590012566712{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; el_class=&#8221;margin-alternative&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1577464050247{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-md-4&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1577462795481{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;729&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1590012611870{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-md-8&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Divination with cowries<\/h2>\n<p>The Yoruba orisa have their own divination method performed by the Babalorisa and the Iyalorisa. Unlike the If\u00e1 divination, the orisa divination is performed with 16 snails, which are thrown on the mat. Snails determine a sign (ow\u00f2 m\u00e8r\u00ecnd\u00ednl\u00f3g\u00fan) depending on the position in which they fall. There are only 17 possibilities, one for each sign (from 0 to 16). Each of the 17 od\u00f9 has a name, most of them coinciding with the names of the If\u00e1 signs, with the exception of three: Eji Oko, Ejila Sebora and Opira.<\/p>\n<p>In each sign the orisa speak through verses (parables). The verses of orisa closely resemble those of If\u00e1, with the difference that at the beginning of the verses it is not indicated that the babalawo made \u201cIf\u00e1 divination for\u2026\u201d, but merely specifies that \u201cdivination\u201d was made (da fun) for a certain person or persons.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1572641768765{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 14px;\"><strong>&#8220;Owo kan ni o gbe&#8217;gba d&#8217;ori<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Ese han o se t\u2019ori afara<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Awon l\u2019o da fun won ni \u2018Gboho Moro<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Nibiti\u2019re won si lo bi eiye&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 14px;\"><strong>&#8220;One hand cannot lift the pumpkin over the head<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>One foot is not secure on a bridge.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>They made divination for the people of Igboho Moro<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>When his blessings flew like birds &#8220;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; gap=&#8221;20&#8243; bg_type=&#8221;bg_color&#8221; bg_color_value=&#8221;#4e89d5&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1589979484095{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;background-color: #4e89d5 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-md-8&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1572264649280{padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1590576120728{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">The types of Orisa<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_col-md-6&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1572276073446{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;background-color: #fcfcfc !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1590576159838{margin-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #fcfcfc !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Irunmole<\/h3>\n<p>The Irunmole are the 401 Orisa that Olodumare sent to create the world.

Offerings can be made to praise an Orisa, for an Ifa divination, an initiation, for the oke itase, festivals, to get lucky or to solve some problem.<\/p>\n<p>If we make the offerings to the Orisa immediately, the positive part of what was said by If\u00e1 will manifest and we will be able to overcome the negative part that If\u00e1 warns about. For example, if divination points to a kind of wealth, making the offerings will make it manifest. If, on the other hand, divination indicates an economic loss, with the offerings we will do everything possible to prevent this loss from occurring.
