I just recieved my hand of ifa and Olokun is my guardian Orisha. Since our characteristics of Olokun are like the bottom of the sea, I realized that no one will ever truly understand me. Everyone has their own idea of me however it's not truly correct, only I know myself. I talk, write and teach alot about understanding your darkness and learning the names of your demons. I wear a lot of black, I find it protective. I live on 99th street the past 6 years and I'm a life path 9. crazy accuracy in your video
Thank you so much for your heartful and informed narrative about Olokún. I received Olokún about a year ago and I love "it". It has a special place in my home, and I always treat it with respect and adoration. It has allowed me to understand myself more than I did before, and don't like to impose on him/her. Ache pa ti. Marefún Olokún!
Yo soy hija de Olokun. I found out when I was 7 and when they said it aloud in the ceremony everyone started crying, including me. It was a very powerful moment that I will never forget. I made the bond with Olokun instantly. Sadly, I am 27 and have yet to receive Olokun because they said I needed the special one, [babalao? I think?] Olokun :/ So I am still waiting until she can open my path and allow me the finances to receive her. Every time I think about it, I cry.
This is a mystery. I enjoyed your presentation, we agree that it is not a male or female thing, he/she/it is a mysterious thing, who knows what mysteries lie there, in such a bosom? What strange fish? Such strange lights lurk in her depths! Fascinating always and REVERENCE, YES!
Ashe To! Remember that although the religion came from Africa it was molded in Cuba to best fit the necessities of life and slowly new customs began... Theres the Traditional Yorubas who do things more African based and us Lukumisos who practice Afro Cuban. Its all the same different practices.. P.s Many people sit Orisha Oko on top of dirt in his dish...
If you want to Learn and use Yoruba folklore you must go to Yoruba land to study correctly because you are using our culture ....Olokun means owner of the sea..Okun mean sea... Olokun is not dark and mysterious.....actually Olokun uses the color white...Olokun is wife of last wife Oduduwa in ile ife or Orunmila in other parts of Yoruba land...Yemoja is an Orisa of the Ogun River in Ogun state nigeria...This is a african culture if you want to know about it you must go to yoruba land to learn correctly before you can teach. When you are teaching other people culture you must take the time to learn it.We have Olokun festival in ife ife in may every year since the conception of Orisa practice unbroken.
What you have to understand is the how and why. Research the Transatlantic slave trade and how the Orisa's came to be in the western hemisphere. Our ancestors carried the Yoruba faith across the water. Many aspects was lost...others had to be recreated based on Africans not having their tools. We also had to hide our Orisas behind Catholic saints as to not get killed for our worship. SO have a bit of compassion (isn't that one of the many things IFA teaches? Compassion and good character?). Understand that we have great respect for Orisa. I am a follower of Traditional Ifa, but I understand what happened. It's sad because most Africans do not understand nor know the horrors we have been through in slavery and trying to keep who we are. Did you know that Brasil has the most Africans outside of Africa in the western hemisphere? and guess what? They are huge Orisa worshippers. So just relax a bit and research our horrors and how our brand of worship came to be. When I say we, though I follow tradition, I speak of my ancestors. I am my ancestors. Blessings!
We in the diaspora practice the way of the Oyó empire, prior to its fall. Yoruba Land is IFA now and in no way is an unbroken tradition. Go get initiated on your Visa card by a Babalao in Nigeria. I saw a video with two girls being initiated in Yoruba Land, it was a disgrace ! We learned from slaves and their descendants. In Cuba and Brazil. You sound like a total racist " African Traditionalist . I'm half Cuban and half Anglo Yemoja doesn't judge my DNA like you are doing here ...
From what I learned Olokun is the owner of all oceans. That in Benin he is a male Orixá, but some consider it as Female. I have him as a male Orixá 'cause he visits my dreams often... And the other thing I learned is that Yemonjá is the owner of where the rivers meet the sea. In some storries Olokun is Father/Mother of Yemonjá, but in another one he/she is son/daughter of Yemonjá (Yembo).
I promise I will make more! Been doing too many other things. Ashe ooo... Please remember to get my books!... Expansion of the Igbodun and Ebbo Elese Osha...both are in Amazon
I think you are asking about Palenquetas which is a powder called Sugary Corn powder and molasses, the other was mariquitas which is fried plaintains cut into very thin rounds. I will eventually make a video on how to make both of them
Help me i never do readings yet i feel im either a child or Olokun or Oshun I have mostly olokun characteristics traits except abundance i have 3 children is all i have
I was just crowned Saturday will my priest tell me when I need to start serving her? Like I don’t have a sopera or anything of that nature. Not even an altar.
if you go to the states or Cuba, Africa, etc wanting to see if the Orisha are calling to you, you can get a reading from a Babalawo or Iyanifa (Iyanifas would be Isese) but they could tell you if Orisha walk with you. I suggest conracting someone in the states, it’s mostly where English-speaking priests are and there’s many scammers elsewhere. But, I suggest you look into getting a reading from Lukumi Babalawo!!
@Trinity M Lukumi is for anyone who is called by Orisha. The orishas determine if you are meant to be initiated and where you are meant to be initiated but this comment is false…there’s different branches of Ifa. Isese is the traditional African route which mostly you will only see Africans and people of African descent. However, Lukumí, Candomblé, etc. those are do not have a certain demographic of people that can only practice. For example, in my Ile there’s a Japanese priestess, along with two white Priests. There’s also many Koreans who practice, in Korea. I’ve met many non-Black or non-Caribbean people who practice Regla De Ocha and Ifa. Even Palo!! As for their comment about Hoodoo, Hoodoo IS CLOSED. To Black descendants of American chattel slavery. period. A non-African American would not know how to practice Hoodoo and would not have the cultural, ancestral, or regional understanding for it. As for Vodou/Vudu (Voodoo) that is the same. There is a regional and ancestral calling you need that a very select few who aren’t Haitian or Dominican receive. The spirits will usually let you know if you are meant to practice Vodou, but usually you need a tie to that specific land (Ayiti) and an ancestral tie to Arawaks, Africans, and the colonizers of that land.
Normally Olokun is associated with the numbers 4 or 9. That must just be a difference of the tradition from which you received yours. That is a question to your godfather/mother of osha who gave you Olokun and the lineage of the tradition. Asiel)0(
for your information i was raised in the religion and have 14 years of initiation at this moment. And as an Adodi i have no limitations whatsoever. you need to check what religion you belong too cause osha is ruled by gay men sweet heart. so what do i have to be truthful about? Orisha bless..
Hello my brother. I am in need of information. I have been in the religion for about 5 yr. need to know what to learn and get myself ready for my next step. Please get back to me! The info is Yemaya Olokun and the twins. thank you for this video and I will be subscribing to u. Don't let me down! I know I have a lot to learn. Daughter of Yemaya / la India -
can a person that dont have olokun go to ocean or sea and give offering in honor of oloklun,, iam not referring to making petitions, favours... just simple offering?
olokun es femenino es la propietaria del oceano y es una deidad luminosa su color es el blanco asi fue como bajo à la tierra, su pelo trensado y de grande beauté, es la riqueza del mar y el brinda riqueza à sus seguidores
My Babalawo (a high priest) is a professor in African Studies jn a university, he's black and he practices this religion so don't judge, learn about it and if its not for you thats ok
All these videos on youtube African magick / spirituality need to be pulled...this is rude an extremely disrespectfual to the African american..and African community to show case another cultures sacred things....
How is itdisrespectful when African Americans don't even know there history atleast he's opening up insight about our history so sdfu please if you don't like it simply don't view it
+sillysongbird Latin people are from African descent also. Learn the history and Orishas are for anyone in the world regardless where they come from or their colour.
excuse me please do not disrespect the orishas i am a priest of ogun and i find that more embarrassing to carry your self in a manner that is so disrespectful not only to him but to the 10k plus years that the ifa orisha tradition has been on this earth just how i do not disrespect the goat head symbol pr baphomet if people say its satanic or not i dont care just how i would like you to respect our faith
You are a beginner trying to come off as an elder! Second, as an adode you are limited to what you can do and you KNOW this! I could care less what your orientation is just be truthful!

Crow Lavey amazing yo soy hijo de OLOKUN también we are special people
What!!?? You should already have crowned Olokun. Whether oro or directly. Doesn't matter.
You are so pleasant to watch and listen to. You decorate your Orishas so beautifully and make the stories so interesting.
Thank you! I’m a child of Olokun. Your videos of Olokun really describe my personality.
This is a mystery. I enjoyed your presentation, we agree that it is not a male or female thing, he/she/it is a mysterious thing, who knows what mysteries lie there, in such a bosom? What strange fish? Such strange lights lurk in her depths! Fascinating always and REVERENCE, YES!
As Olokun's soon, it was a pleasure to watch your point of view....my mother/father bless us!
Make a video of how and when to care for olokun. And maybe a video for yemaya

I think you are asking about Palenquetas which is a powder called Sugary Corn powder and molasses, the other was mariquitas which is fried plaintains cut into very thin rounds. I will eventually make a video on how to make both of them
One of your videos , you said children of Olokun don’t have steady relationships , how true is that ?
Thank you soooo much for that wonderful information!! what part of Africa are you from?
Help me i never do readings yet i feel im either a child or Olokun or Oshun I have mostly olokun characteristics traits except abundance i have 3 children is all i have
