The Iyaami



By Babalawo Aworeni

The Iyaami are the women that guide Olodumare. They go by the name Aje or Iyaami.
The three Iyaami that primarily guide Olodumare are called
Ayere Eiye
Ayere Eiye
Oyeye Eiye Ti Se Oniko Eleiye.
These three Iyaami not only guide Olodumare, but they empower the Aje on the earth.
They are the ones that originally sent the Aje to the World .
The three Iyaami have supreme power over Aje on earth and they are the ones who initiated and spread Aje throughout the World .
The Aje on earth fall into two categories, Oso, which are male Aje and the Eleiye which are female Aje.
Esu has ability to enter among both Oso and Eleiye. No one can choose to initiate Aje/Iyaami, they choose who they want to initiate and “call” that person.


Ifa koni je ki a ri ija Eleiye ase o.

  1. When one is called, where does one go? Or does the one who is called simply follow what guidance is offered to them? Or does it depend on the individual?
