ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Orisha

Okay kiddo, let me tell you a story about Orishas. Orishas are like superheroes from a place called Africa. They have special powers and help people who believe in them. Each Orisha has their own superpowers and they look different too.

Some Orishas are named after things in nature, like Oshun who's like a beautiful river goddess. And Yemaya, who's like the queen of the ocean. And then there are Orishas like Ogun, who's a warrior and helps people fight off bad things.

People who believe in Orishas ask them for help when they need it, like when they're sick, or need courage, or when they want to fall in love. They also have special ceremonies and dances to honor the Orishas and show them how much they appreciate them.

Overall, Orishas are like superheroes who help people who believe in them by using their magical powers to make things better.
