SPIRITUAL INVOCATION: "IYAMI"

I acknowledge The Iyami,

the Sacred Mothers, the Ancient Feminine Power, the womb of creation, destruction, wisdom, and transformation.

The Iyami are the keepers of destiny,

the unseen force behind life, death, justice, and spiritual law. They remind me that creation and correction come from the same womb.

I walk with humility.

I honor feminine power in its highest form.

I respect what cannot be controlled, only aligned with.

Iyami, grant me wisdom to move correctly.

Teach me restraint, discernment, and spiritual maturity. Remove arrogance, imbalance, and ignorance from my path.

Protect me from misalignment with divine law. Stabilize my destiny. Cover my household, my womb, my lineage, and my purpose.

May I speak with wisdom.

May I act with integrity.

May I honor sacred feminine power within myself and others.

Iyami, I honor your depth, your authority, and your ancient truth Àṣẹ

-Nigeria
