Our Connection -

Ibeji (Eee-beh-yee) meaning twins, double birth or the inseparable two in the Yoruba language and religion originating in Nigeria.
The Ibeji or Jimaguas as commonly referred to in Santeria as practiced throughout Latinx America are Twin Orishas or gods who are sacred and are believed to be the personification of prosperity, luck and good fortune. 

Ibeji Botanicals was created by Josh Rodriguez and his family of Afro-Dominican roots honoring his late maternal grandmother Magaly Rosario. Magaly was second generation Spiritual Guide , an initiate of Santeria crowned Yemaya and an Initiate of 21 Divisions a spiritual religion with origins in her home country of Dominican Republic. Josh and his twin brother Justin Rodriguez apprenticed with their grandmother and mother learning the traditions and practices of herb, root and spiritual work. Both were eventually initiated into Santeria and Palo Mayumbe, Josh crowned Chango and Justin crowned Yemaya. 

Our mission at Ibeji Botanicals is to take our Knowledge & Tradition of Spiritual Root & Herb work, passed down over generations, and continue our ancestral legacy by creating Spiritual Goods to help achieve desired results through the power of Ancestral Guidance & Intention.
