1. Where do the Egungun live?
The Yoruba do not have a "heaven" that the dead roam around in and chat to each other as in the Christian myth. Such a place is completely superstitious. The Yoruba word "orun"
does not equate to heaven but just means the spiritual realm. It is not a "place" but a part of the dual aspect of the one world which is a union of the physical and spiritual.

For those of you thinking waiting on a spook savior, you should know that the Egungun do not make plans to help you. It is the Living that must make the plans. The Egungun's role is only to help us carry out the plans we have devised.
Only Egungun (revered ancestors) can do this; they are distinct from just Egun (ancestor, any dead person). When one becomes Egungun, they have the power to positively help you via your veneration of them.

Egungun, you will introduce negativity in your live. Such an unworthy Egun will only want to continue their unworthiness. Europoids often celebrate any egun (worthy or unworthy) and that is part of the reason they wreck havoc in the world. They venerate rapists like
Thomas Jefferson and then wonder why America is addicted to raping the world.

maybe you need a "spell" or something foolish.
In IFA, all you need to do is venerate a strong, just, and powerful Egungun and he/she will be your guide. An egungun does not have to come from your actual bloodline's nuclear family. However, they must be a part of

your race. A race is simply a mega-family.
The modern Africans' rejection of their Egungun and the embrace of worthless egun, is a major reason Blacks are in a downward spiral to self-destruction.

Let us suck on the tit of the Egungun and we will have all the nourishment we need to achieve all our ambitions.
