Discover the Yoruba Tale That Shaped the World!
🌍 The Yoruba Creation Myth – How the World Was Formed
This week, The Lorekeeper's Library explores the yoruba creation myth, a story passed down through generations. The tale begins above the clouds, with a descent and shaping that involves both mistakes and divine wisdom. Join us as we unfold this origin story, exploring the world through the lens of yoruba mythology and african mythology.
When Obà tálá, the Orisha of peace and creation, is chosen to form the Earth, he descends from the heavens with a calabash of sacred soil, a hen, a golden chain, and divine intention. But one misstep—a sip of palm wine—changes everything. What follows is a tale of failure, forgiveness, and the shaping of humanity itself.
This myth isn't just a story—it's a keystone of Yoruba identity. We’ll explore how its legacy lives on in Ilé-Ifẹ̀, in shrines dressed in white, and across the Atlantic in Afro-Brazilian and Afro-Caribbean traditions.
✨ Featuring themes of redemption, responsibility, and the sacred power of creation, this is a tale that resonates across cultures.
🌊 From Orun to Ilé, from Nigeria to Cuba and Brazil, join Kriss as we follow the golden chain of myth across time and tradition.
