ABSTRACT
The worship of Yoruba gods is still widely practised in areas where large numbers of slaves were displaced. Yoruba belief focuses on a number of gods called o rish a s , all of which have different powers over every aspect of human life. The Yoruba people believe that they are the descen dants of these deities and every believer follows a particular orishd from early childhood, though as adults they may have personal dialogue with several.
