Iyami Eleye (“Owner of the Birds”), represents the Great Feminine Power associated with witchcraft and the spiritual forces known as Aje and Oso, who are believed to influence both good and evil on earth and maintain the balance of life. Because of their power over human affairs, they are honoured through offerings such as Ipese, a sacred feeding ritual believed to bring their protection and maternal care to those who show kindness and respect.
