When one looks further into the traditions and spiritual
|
|
philosophies of the Yoruba, here we have the core beliefs of
|
|
Satanism which is that of spiritual transformation, evolution and
|
|
reaching one's own divinity. The Yoruba believe that we all have a
|
|
destiny to achieve and becoming spiritually one with the the creator
|
|
is expected. <br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
It is said that the elders of the tradition deeply believe that they
|
|
are still practicing humanity's original religion</span><i id="yiv9556077197yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487298688284_78820" style="line-height: 1.22em;">. </i></div>

Prayer ("calling on" to the ether), recitation, supplication, dance
|
|
and meditation are part of developing the character or Iwa pele.
|
|
This in turn develops and channels the Ashe (energy, chi, prana,

|
etc) strengthens the consciousness and feeds the Orisha so that one
|
|
can become as them. </span></div>

within. The Yorubas believe that through veneration of the orishas,

transformation and enlightenment. They are also purported to govern

the elements and reflect the manifestations of the creator. They are

<span class="auto-style16">**This old tradition has made its
|
|
way to the Americas by means of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and
|
|
most blacks in America are of Yoruba descent. They still held on to
|
|
these traditions.This is seen in Candomble, Santeria, Obeah, etc.
|
|
But as with many of our traditional African religions, they are
|
|
corrupted, infiltrated and many lost, thanks to Christian and
|
|
Islamic invasion.<br />

The Yoruba, from my research, are an advanced group in Africa. One
|
|
can see from their art, culture, spiritual customs and cosmology.
|
|
They also have ties to the Egyptian gods and their culture.<br />

I do see similarities to Vodun in that the Yoruba acknowledge the
|
|
orisha Elegba/Eshu who correlates to the Vodun Legba. Legba, as I
|
|
have written, is an aspect of Satan and the chi Mercury energy.**<br />
