Olokun (Yoruba: Olóòkun) is an orisha spirit in the Yoruba religion. Olokun is believed to be the parent of Aje, the orisha of great wealth and of the bottom of the ocean. Olokun is revered as the ruler of all bodies of water and for the authority over other water deities.
Orisha Olokun Prayer: “I praise the spirit of the vast ocean. I praise the spirit of the ocean who is beyond understanding. Spirit of the ocean, I will worship you, as long as there is water in the sea. Let there be peace in the ocean. Let there be peace in my soul. The spirit of the ocean, the ageless ones, I give respect. ASHE.”
Orisha Olokun Incantation: “Olokun bring the bell. Bring the iron rod. That I can use to serve my Olokun. So that I can live as my spirits wish. We have met ourselves. Spirits of the water”.
Orishas are spiritual beings who have been tasked with maintaining this Earth, watching over the affairs of humanity and each has dominion over a portion of nature. Each Orisha is identified with natural forces as well as with human interests or endeavors.
These Orishas are mediators between humanity and the Supreme Being.
Pray to Orishas because they are already in heaven, and they can intercede for you. In moments of anxiety, you need to hope and believe in something that helps you recover faith and maintain peace in your life. Each time you light the candle ask for what you desire or what help is needed in your life.
