We are Ẹgbẹ́ Òrìṣà, the Spiritual Community of the Òrìṣà - Energies of Nature
and we have been active in Slovenia for many years.
Our worship is universal as it is dedicated to the deities of nature called the òrìṣà.
These are the energies manifested in nature that are an inherent part of human disposition. The òrìṣà provide answers to eternal questions – who am I, what is my mission, how can I be of service, where am I currently at, and how can I fulfil my dreams.
These are all questions we must find answers to; otherwise, our life is hopeless. Unfortunately, these are not the things we are taught in school, and furthermore, many parents fail to raise their children in this way. We had to go to the heart of Africa to seek this wisdom out because on our home soil it has mostly been lost.
- The òrìṣà philosophy teaches us the following:
- Everyone must have the right to their own lifestyle.
- If you cannot be a friend, at least do not be an enemy.
- If you are unable to counsel someone, at least refrain from confusing them further.
- If you cannot help build something up, do not destroy it either.
- If you cannot keep quiet, at least do not shout.
The foundations of our work
Ifá
Human intelligence is very efficient when it comes to posing questions but much less so in terms of providing answers.
Òrìṣà Philosophy
When speaking about the òrìṣà, remember that everything begins and ends with personal responsibility.
Ancestors
Ancestors symbolize community and construction. They are a symbol of peace and harmony. We invoke them to ...
Orí
Orí is the principle that is most accessible to all of us because it is an inherent part of all living beings.
Spiritual orientation
Since we do not know everything, we need someone to guide our thinking and point us in the right direction.
Dance of the òrìṣà
The òrìṣà philosophy celebrates all aspects of life in a very dynamic and joyful way.
Sàra
Sàra denotes spiritual generosity and is one of the fundamental rituals in the òrìṣà philosophy.
