Iya Nla: Primordial Yoruba Mother-The Source

IYA NLA, The Yoruba Primordial Mother focuses on the presence and essence in the worship of the diverse manifestations of both the spiritual and material realms. Iyan Nla gives us an intellectual approach to our matrilineal ancestry. The mysteries of nature and existence were cultivated and worshipped in a religious custom by the first human ancestors. Through those ancestors, there has been a humanity embodied and elevated to heavenly status in order to honor them and to continue their customs. This human embodiment of the first ancestors helps us to distinguish the diverse aspects and influences of Iya Nla manifestations, hence The Primodial Mother...the life force for existence. Iya Nla who descends at night, Iya Nla who descends at day, Iya Nla, The mother of all, Let us live gently in this world
