In Yorùbá tradition, ancestors (Ẹ̀gún) are active forces who guide, warn, and bless the living through dreams, signs in nature, shrine rituals, intuitive insight, and divination. Whether messages come through the voice of one's Orí Inú, appear in the night as visions, or are clarified through Ifá or Òrìṣà-based divination, ancestral communication is always sacred, layered, and tied to ritual responsibility.
