Hunters in African societies were far more than men of the forest.

They embodied responsibility, restraint, and a deep understanding of life itself. Their way of living reflected balance strength with wisdom, courage with care, and action with purpose. Through their presence, values were preserved and quietly passed on across generations.

Today, we visited this sacred site in Ouidah alongside Babalawo Popoola Ifagbenusola and Titilola Damilola. In Vodun tradition, the Royal Python isn't just an animal; it’s a symbol of the god Dan, representing fertility, prosperity, and the continuity of life.

​Unlike the myths you might hear, these pythons are revered as protectors. In fact, they are often released at night to "hunt" and return to the temple by morning!

​Did you know? The followers of the temple have specific facial markings (scarification) that represent their spiritual connection to the python.
​Tell me: Would you be brave enough to hold one, or are you watching from a distance?

Egúngún are not just part of Yorùbá culture, they appear across West Africa in different forms, celebrating ancestry, spirituality, and tradition. The recent Vodún Day festival in Benin was a vibrant reminder of how these ancestral spirits connect communities beyond borders. ✨

Can you name these Egún?

The Yorùbá culture is filled with significance, even in the smallest details.

From the beads worn by Chiefs and Elders to the staffs they carry, nothing is merely decorative. Beads reflect rank, lineage, authority, and spiritual alignment, while the staff symbolizes leadership, guidance, and the duty to uphold tradition and justice. Every piece carries meaning, telling stories of history, power, and sacred responsibility.

Do you know why the Lokoloko paint their bodies white and red?

The Lokoloko, also known as Elemese, are the sacred royal guards of the Ooni of Ife. More than attendants, they are entrusted with both the spiritual and physical protection of the throne. Their white and red body markings symbolize duty, power, and guardianship.

Seen during revered ceremonies like the Olojo Festival, their presence reminds us that kingship in Yorùbá land is upheld not only by authority, but by tradition and ritual.
