Learn about the Yoruba faith, a religion that is among the world's ten largest. Traditional Yoruba religious beliefs recognize a wide variety of deities, with Olodumare known as the creator and other spirits serving as intermediates to help with the concerns of humans. The deities include "Ọya" (wind goddess), "Ifa" (divination or fate), "Ẹlẹda" (destiny), "Ọsanyin" (medicines and healing),"Ọsun" (goddess of fertility, protector of children and mothers), and Ṣango (God of thunder),among others.
Yoruba religion and mythology is a major influence in West Africa chiefly in Nigeria, and has given origin to several New World religions such as SanterĂa in Cuba, Puerto Rico and CandomblĂ© in Brazil.
