This week, the paths were opened for the vibration of Ibéjì, known as the sacred twins of the Yorùbá tradition. They represent rebirth, abundance, and the continuous flow of life. In the original tradition, the birth of twins in a family is surrounded by great meaning, and can be understood as a sign of blessing, prosperity, and protection.
In Brazilian lands, this ancestry took on new contours. In Candomblé, the vibrant presence of the Erês reminds us that the sacred also manifests itself in simplicity, joy, and purity. In Umbanda, the beloved Beijada phalanx is related to the strength and energy of spiritual children, acting in different natural environments, such as beaches, forests, and waterfalls.
Whether in Candomblé or Umbanda, September is a period marked by devotion to spiritual children. The celebrations include parties, sweets, caruru, games, and many moments of joy, uniting communities around this tradition.
The mystery of Ibéjì is linked to duality. The twins teach that life is completed in pairs, representing the beginning and balance between opposing forces that form the totality of existence.
