ERIWO YA! ERIWO YA!! ERIWO YAA!!!                                                                                                Dear Isese Family,
As we approach the end of the year, let us come together for a Crossover Night Vigil on December 31st! Let’s come together to venerate the Orisas and call upon their blessings as we cleanse and journey into the new year.
Event Details:
    •    Date: December 31st
    •    Time: [10pm]
    •    Location: [Yeye’s Botanical East ]

This special night will be filled with Orisa performances, chants, songs, dance, and Iyere performances that will uplift our spirits and strengthen our connection to the divine.
As the clock strikes midnight, we will participate in an Ori cleansing ritual to activate our Ori as we step into the new year. This powerful act will help us align our intentions and energies for a prosperous year ahead.
While this tradition is common in Nigeria, it is not as widely practiced here, and I believe that when we come together, our Ase is stronger and we vibrate higher. Let’s create a beautiful space infused with love, joy, and spiritual energy, setting the tone for the year to come!
Join us for a night of celebration, connection, and spiritual renewal. Together, we will honor our ancestors and the Orisas, and welcome the new year with open hearts and minds.
Please RSVP to help us prepare for this joyous occasion.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you all!
PS: All white with head covers.
With love and blessings,
Chief Afolabi Idowu (The Baale Esu of Osogbo).
