Honoring the Ancestors: A Yorùbá Guide to Spiritual Communion with Ègún
In Yorùbá spirituality, the ancestors—known as Ègún—hold a central place in cosmology. They are not simply remembered; they are revered, consulted, and nourished. They serve as intermediaries between the living and the divine, walking beside us in the unseen realm, whispering wisdom, warning of danger, and reinforcing our àṣẹ. To engage with them is to activate our own memory, spiritual inheritance, and alignment with ayànmọ̀ (destiny).
