Who are Iyaami Osoronga ?
Iyámi Òsòròngá are the ancient, primordial Mothers in Yoruba cosmology keepers of deep spiritual power, destiny, and balance. They are not gods in the usual sense, but cosmic forces of feminine authority who govern creation, destruction, justice, and transformation.

Spiritual role
Iyáami Òsòròngá are neither “evil” nor sentimental. They are law. They reward integrity, humility, and ancestral alignment—and they expose arrogance, abuse of power, and spiritual imbalance. When honored properly, they bring protection, wisdom, fertility (physical or spiritual), and authority. When disrespected, they bring correction.
Nothing is created without the Mothers.
Nothing survives without balance.
Nothing hidden stays hidden forever.
