Jejegbo is one of the most formidable of what we call in Vodùn the yɛ̀kplinu. It is fear itself. Yɛ̀kplinu are a group if spirits of abject negativity and destruction. The yɛ̀kplinu inhabit a world parallel to the world of humans.
The Spirit of Fear, Jejegbo, has grown stronger and stronger with time. During the age of Azi (last of the four ages…age of utter chaos and degeneracy), Jejegbo has grown to enormous strength. As with all of these spirits (collectively), it takes communal collective spiritual work to challenge such a vast spirit. Jejegbo attacks the will of individuals, families, communities, and nations. He is strongest where there are things like terrorism, captivity (“slavery”), hunger, homelessness, self hate, anti-nature behavior, and other related forms of chaos.
Ayigbadó – Disorder Of The Mind Due To Fear
Jéjé, fear, is one of the number one culprits of disorder. Constantly living in a state fear brings about unnaturalness in our individual, family, and communal lives. Fear must be met head on and defeated to remove the ayigbadó. This means that we must get at the core of fear. We usually find that the fear is unfounded and based on falsehood, illusion and self defeating behavior. This is why fear is sù (taboo) in Vodún, because it is often based on non-reality.
However, in a strange paradox of sorts, people are often defeated by fear when they are afraid to admit they are afraid. Facing fear is the first step to defeating fear. From there, the road to victory is cleared.
