Ancestral Inheritance: Understanding Traits Passed Through the Bloodline in Yorùbá Tradition
In Yorùbá tradition, inheritance is more than genetics—it includes character, emotional patterns, and spiritual destiny passed through the bloodline. By reflecting on family roles, listening to ancestral stories, and seeking divination, we can uncover inherited strengths and wounds.
