Spirit of a Bird(àjé ) used by women (Ìyáàmi oshoronga)




àjé Spirit of a Bird used by women (Ìyáàmi oshoronga) to invoke powers used for
abundance and justice. This same power is used to consecrate the
crown of the Yorùbá Kings. Also used as a reference to money or
abundance. The various uses of the word has different accent marks 
which is one of the subtle variations of the Yoruba language that makes translations a challenge.
Akódá
Akódá Spirit of one of the Prophet Òrúnmìlà’s first two students. Akódá from the elision A ko da meaning I divide the study or I spread the teachings. This is a reference to the task of teaching. In that sense every egbe Ifa has a title called Akódá which is usually second to the Araba. The job of collective information and deciding what is valid and what is not would be the task of Akódá while the actual process of teaching is the role of ajubona from the elision a oju ebo ona the road of facing our destiny.
Amúsan
Amúsan Spirit of one of the children of the Spirit of the Wind (Oya).
Amòká
Amòká Spirit of the Sun. As awo our morning prayer starts with a greeting to Olodumare thanking the Creator for Creation and thanking the Spirit of the East for giving us the sunlight that starts the day
Aje Saluga
Aje Saluga Elemental Spirit of Abundance, sacred to the Spirit of the
Mothers (Ìyáàmi). This has too do with some of the inner secrets of Ìyáàmi
and has to do with the fact that different women have different functions within
the egbe.
Alúdùndún Òrun
Alúdùndún Òrun Guardian Spirit of personal destiny in the Realm of
the Ancestors, the Source of personal destiny. The word from the elision
a olu odun odun Orun means the spirit of sweetness which is a reference to
the idea that Ifa promises good fortune to those who embrace iwa pele ire baba .Awo Falokun
