Yemoja/Olokun is the name is the name of two spiritual forces in the West African religious tradition called Ifa. The word Yemoja is an elision of the Yoruba Oriki (praise name ) Yeye mo oja, which means Mother of Fish. The word Olukun is a contraction of Olohun meaning owner, and okun meaning ocean. Both of these words are the names given to describe a complex convergence of Spiritual Forces that are key elements in the Ifa concept of fertility. Those Spritual Forces that form the foundation of Yemoja and Olokun's role in the Spirit Realm relate to the relationship between water and birth. .

One of the first steps to Ifa is getting a Hand Of Ifa. It’s reception marks a turning point where an individual begins to line up with their destiny, While a hand of Ifa is not a full initiation to Ifa, it is an advanced step beyond general interest and before you Initiate fully. Many practitioners at this level find themselves lost, not quite being a beginner and not an initiate either. A book like this has never been done specifically for practitioners at this level. It is a guide for people who have received a hand of ifa, gone through an Isefa ceremony, intend to initiate to Ifa, and also for people who are initiated but have had little instructions on how to manage and work with thei...
The term sacrifice needs to be further explained in the Yoruba religion cultural perspectives. Its connotation transcends the mere offer of gifts to the poor. Sacrifice is propitiatory. This is why it is otherwise known as Etutu (that which propitiates). In another vain, sacrifice can be seen as an atonement -- a carrier of bad fortunes and mishaps. Through the practice of sacrifice, all forms of adversities are rubbed off the path of man and nation and thus usher in positive fortunes of various magnitudes and complexions. The place of sacrifice therefore should not be undermined especially when one remembers that evil and good fortunes are like twin sisters, almost always, each other's concomitant.
It is my prayer that all of you who read this text will be truly blessed as well as inspired! I appeal to you to learn the names of The Ancient Ancestral Mothers and be blessed; for, they promised they will bless anyone who knows their names; any one who call their names; they will bless any one who doable (put their Ori/Head) to the ground or floor in honor of them and receive your blessings. Do these things for all nations and generations know of them! I am in hopes that each of you will have a deeper insight and appreciation of Divine Feminine Energy (DFE) the Universal Ase of all existence. This is your opportunity to rise to another spiritual dimension and excel above Earthly Trappings. Give thanks to Yeye Osun for she is the first Iyami. She houses the Divine Feminine Energy in her sacred cauldron i.e. womb.
