#orixas #jogodebuzios #candomblé In the vast universe of Afro-Brazilian spirituality, the Orixas stand out as powerful entities that transcend the simple divine; they become intrinsic guides on our earthly journey. Among their many virtues, the Orixas exert the remarkable influence of intuiting us to walk with ourselves, a profound invitation to explore our essence and discover the singularity of our steps on the path of life. Each Orixa carries with it unique characteristics, representing distinct aspects of human existence. Oxalá, the great father, teaches us about patience and wisdom, inviting us to walk our paths with calm and discernment. Yemanjá, the mother of the seas, invites us to dive into the depths of our emotions, embracing sensitivity as a driving force. Xango, lord of justice, inspires us to act with equity and rectitude in our choices. When we connect with these deities, we realize that their wisdom goes beyond rituals and festivities. The Orishas, in their essence, whisper in our ears, guiding us to walk the path of authenticity. They remind us that each step we take should reflect our inner truth, a unique dance that only we can choreograph. On the journey of life, it is easy to get lost in the cacophony of the external world, in the expectations of others and the demands of society. However, the Orishas encourage us to seek inner balance, to listen to the unique melody of our soul. They remind us that true connection with the divine lies in the full acceptance of who we are, in the deep understanding of our virtues and limitations. By following the advice of the Orishas, we open space for acceptance, self-reflection and self-discovery. They invite us to walk with ourselves, not as an act of selfishness, but as a conscious search for inner alignment. In this journey, we find the strength to face challenges, the wisdom to make decisions and compassion for others, because only by knowing ourselves can we truly understand others. Ultimately, the Orishas gift us with the key to our inner journey, guiding us in the unique dance of our existence. By accepting the invitation to walk with ourselves, we open the doors to authenticity, self-acceptance, and spiritual fulfillment. May we, as we follow in the footsteps of our Orishas, find the truth that resides in our hearts and thus dance in harmony with the universe that surrounds us.
