History

The Patakies say that Ashé is the fundamental energy of the universe, which developed into olodumare and then into olofin when it became conscious.

After all this process, olofin created obatalá, the first of all the Orishas. And in the same way all the others related to the force of nature, who were granted an immense amount of Ashé by olodumare. 

Today the word Ashé is linked to many rituals, spells and incantations, but because it holds a great universal secret, the true meaning and power of the word has never been fully understood.

Moreover, it is the force that must be fully balanced in the universe and it helps to contribute to the proper functioning of existence itself. 

This word being sacred and mystical. Delivered by the religious and believers of the Yoruba religion.

  • I possess Ashe
  • I wish you well Ashé
  • The creator has Ashé 
  • My saints have Ashe
  • My Ashe is enviable
  • Tremendous Ashé has that man, among others.

It should be noted that we as religious people must be clear that everything that comes out of our mouths has power, and that is why we should never wish evil on anyone, since we are all children of the same creator and in the end the one who has the last word is him.
