Ibeji is the protective Orisha of twins. The name is
derived from "Ibi" first born & "Eji" two. The Yoruba
consider twins to be good luck. They believe they
share 1 soul between them. If one of the twins dies,
the statues are made to become the abode of the
departed. Through the intermediary of of the ibeji
statue, the Yoruba mother of a deceased twin could
maintain a bond with her child.
