The ancestors have one purpose; to guide and protect your family lineage. Unlike the òrìsà, who are universal principles that are accessible to all people, the ancestors are dedicated to your lineage and your lineage alone. More importantly, perhaps, whereas your devotion to òrìsà will likely be forgotten by the larger community, what you contribute to your family’s spiritual development will be remembered, repeated and celebrated by your descendants. Stated differently, what you do for òrìsà is absorbed into the cosmos. But what you do for the ancestors in concentrated and stored in your family inheritance. Join us every Sunday to venerate the ancestors and elevate the spirit of destiny: Ijo Adulawo.
