Àṣẹ: The Sacred Force of Creation in Yorùbá Spirituality
Àṣẹ is the sacred life force flowing from Olódùmarè into all things — the power that makes prayers work, rituals effective, and words come alive. Rooted in Orà inú (the inner head), Àṣẹ aligns us with divine order when we act with good character, honor our ancestors, and walk humbly with the Òrìṣà . Through offerings, prayers, and song, misfortune (Òṣòbó) is transformed into blessing (ire), reminding us that life itself is carried by Àṣẹ.
