The Orisha spirits play a key role in the Yoruba religion that arose in West Africa. Legend has it that the supreme creator sent them, to teach humanity how to be successful on Earth while some practitioners believe that Orishas are a different class of divine beings who became deified upon death as a result of the lives they had led and what they had accomplished while on Earth.
