Welcome to Irete Sa Temple

If you are drawing from the spiritual themes often associated with the Odu Ìretẹ̀tẹ̀-Sá (Irete Sa), Aje is understood as more than money alone. She is the sacred force of prosperity, rightful wealth, commerce, destiny's reward, fertility of opportunities, and the circulation of blessings between Heaven and Earth.

English Translation

Aje of the Deep Ocean, Aje of the Sacred Sands, Aje the Powerful One,

You who dwell within the mysteries of the deep waters,
You who rest within the sands beside the sea,
You whom wealth and abundance follow like a shadow.

Aje who transforms poverty into dignity.
Aje who fills empty hands.
Aje who turns barren fields into fields of blessing.

In the sacred wisdom of Irete Sa,
the divine powers called upon you,
the benevolent spirits lifted you,
and the Creator placed the authority of prosperity within your hands.

You are the Mother of the Marketplace.
You are the Guardian of Commerce.
You are the Keeper of the treasures of Earth.

Where you sit, prosperity increases.
Where you stand, business flourishes.
Where you walk, opportunities emerge like fresh leaves after rain.

Aje, bring joy into our homes.
Aje, increase the fruit of our labor.
Aje, open the roads of blessing before us.
Aje, let our prosperity be guided by good character.

Do not allow wealth to become our downfall.
Do not allow money to destroy our integrity.
Do not allow blessings to become arrogance.

May our prosperity bring peace.
May our prosperity bring stability.
May our prosperity become an inheritance for future generations.

Aje of the Ocean,
Aje of the Sacred Sand,
Aje of Great Renown,
Aje of Power,

Come dwell within our home.
Come dwell within our business.
Come dwell within our hands.
Come dwell within our destiny.

Aṣẹ.
