The Sacred Thread: Ancestral Lineage in Yorùbá Culture
Yorùbá spirituality is a living Indigenous tradition practiced across West Africa and the diaspora. At its core is ancestral lineage—honoring the Ègún (ancestors) as guides, protectors, and sources of wisdom. Through rituals, offerings, and oral tradition, Yorùbá communities maintain a sacred connection across generations. Ancestors are never gone—they walk with us, shaping our path with their presence and power.
