Visual symbolism of Yoruba Orisa roles and collaboration by Baba Esuwale Adigun (King Brujo) There is a trend online where people attempt to rank Orisa the way people rank sneakers or NBA players. It makes for entertaining arguments, but it does not come from Yoruba cosmology. The idea of a strict Yoruba Orisa hierarchy based on superiority is not traditional. It is a projection from other religious systems trying to interpret an indigenous worldview without cultural context.
