Inviting Ancestral Presence for Healing in Yorùbá Tradition
In Yorùbá tradition, ancestral healing begins close to the earth. The Ẹ̀gún shrine is simple—on bare ground, in a quiet corner, or at the base of a tree. No white cloth, just offerings of water, food, and prayer. These acts of reverence invite the ancestors to draw near, allowing healing to rise not from the sky, but from the soil that holds their memory.
