The Yoruba theology resides mainly in the believe of a one God, who created everything that exists. From Him came several energies who take care of every detail of the Universe, those are called by the Yoruban believers, Irunmole and Orishas.
In the Yoruba system of belief, before youâre born you have already decided what is going to happen with your life, this happens through Ori, which decide what is going to be the main objective in the new life youâre begining. Using the different energies of the Universe, we can achieve easily the needed balance to get to that final objective pre defined by ourselves, meaning living life in balance, with health, happiness and wealth.
Once you come to the earthly plane, your body is formed by three elements: EmĂ (spirit), OrĂ (soul) and ArĂĄ (body). The EmĂ and the OrĂ live inside the ArĂĄ but separated. OrĂ has the knowledge and the wisdom of passed lifes, it keeps closed to ones consciousness until death.
EmĂ allows us to our internal dialogue, it stores memories from this encarnation, and it goes aside from our counsciousness when we incorporate the Orisha, then he goes out the ArĂĄ.
When we die, EmĂ and OrĂ becomes one and leave the ArĂĄ who will transform in a dead body (OkĂş). Once theyâre only one energy theyâll wait for the fate that will come to them, meaning returning to AiyĂŠ transformed in an spirit (eggun) and wait for the reincarnation (AtĂşnwĂĄ), or if AragbĂĄ OrĂşn (Way to OrĂşn), to get to the ArĂĄ OrĂşn state (habitant of the OrĂşn) with the Orishas. These state is only achieved after several reincarnations, until ones EmĂ has a state pure enough to become an habitant of OrĂşn.
Every dweller of AiyĂŠ, according to their behaviour in life can be considered as an omoluabĂ or an ajogun. Those who broked the laws and had a despicable behaviour during life, become ajogun or dark spirits, among those are:
Iku: The Death. King of the Ajogun.
Arun: The disease.
Ofo: The greed.
Epe: The hatress.
Ewon: The selfishness.
Egba: The loneliness.
The omoluabĂ are those that were rightous in the life, but anyway commited some mistakes, theyâre considered kind spirits and can be adored as family ancestors.
