Just a stone’s throw away from the Palace of the Ooni of Ife, is the power house where all Orisha worshipers and non-worshipers alike are welcome.
It's the Yemoja Temple, THE SOURCE!
At the Yemoja Temple, you will find Our Goddess of salt water and mother of all the Orishas, Yemoja. If you're lucky to catch sight of her languishing at the Pool, it's said she will grant you one wish. Here she is revered as she fulfills her sacred duties to humanity, as she has done since time immemorial.
Although she originated at the Source, the point where she descended from the heavens, this fountain pool above the river Potomo, connects to all distant ocean shores and bodies of saltwater worldwide. The Yemoja Temple at Ile Ife, is the source of esoteric knowledge, magic and the healing of many of life's ills. No wonder aspirants travel from far and wide to bare their hearts to the Holy Mother in order to gain her favor and good will.
As Mother of All, Healer of children and women, guardian of fishermen and ship-wrecked sailors, she holds a place in the heart of every being who has ever known love or loss. She appeals to the needs of the barren and fruitful alike and can transform a life, (male or female), just by the touch of her hand, a sip of her waters or the sound of her voice.
We are truly blessed to still be in the presence of the Godform in these turbulent times, where it seems the gods have forsaken us.
IBUKUN YEMOJA TO ONE & ALL. ASE
