Can anyone  @Obadele Kambon @Ekundayo speak on the proper use of the word "Egúngún?" Most translate this as "Nananom," however, I remember someone explaining to me that Egúngún is most properly the ancestral masqueraders and not the word traditionally used for "honored/elevated ancestors." That "honored ancestor" would be baba baba or iya iya or iyanla or babanla???

According to Ìwòrì Ọ̀yẹ̀kú (and not to spoil it for those who will be taking the workshop this weekend), Egúngún started off as a society of masquerading women who used the imposing nature of their masks to dominate and overpower the men in ancient times. Strictly speaking your source is correct. In modern times, the Egúngún societies are composed of masqueraders, those initiated in the secrets of ancestral communication, that become possessed with the spirits of the Babańlá and Ìyáńlá. The elevated ancestor is not the ẹ̀kú Egúngún or the agọ̀ Egúngún itself. When possessed, the Egúngún does indeed represent the returned ancestor and is treated as such.

Thank you so much! This is wonderful, my list is updated and I am working on my pronunciation.  One final question: is it Aginjù (with an i) or Aganjù (with an a)?  

Thanks so much!
