So many people ask us where we got the name for our company. What, on earth, is an “Asé” and what does it have to do with CBD or wellness living? Is it some kind of athletic term or an ingredient of some kind? Well, no.
The answer is in the spirit. Today, we’ll share with you why we thought this Yoruba word was fitting for our company and how the lessons of this simple word can add meaning to your own life.
Key Points
- We’ll discuss where this word “Asé” came from.
- Meanings attributed to Asé are varied – we’ll share the myriad of meanings, including the Asé spiritual meaning.
- We’ll share how this concept of Asé, paired with wellness-living choices, can enrich your life – and improve your quality of life.
Where Did the Word Asé Originate?
The word Asé, sometimes spelled Ashe or Axé, comes from Yoruba culture (Nigerian), and African Religious Traditions, and has been used for centuries as a close to prayer, a blessing to others, or to represent a variety of spiritual meanings.
It’s used in a variety of contexts, today, but these African roots are important to acknowledge.
What Does Asé Mean?
For a closer understanding of its origin, nuance, and history in the original African languages in which it was first spoken, consider these descriptions of the spiritual significance of Asé:
Asé is a classic example showing us that the universe responds to our desires. Giving us
“the power to make things happen”. When we feel better, we do better and we do more.
Asé Book Boutique has a quick explanation, sharing that “Asè [Ah-shay] is a Yoruba word that means ‘it is done.’ This word is typically said after meditating.”
Author Angela Kaufman of Digest from Experts, relates that: “Ase” (àṣẹ) is used as a term of blessing and affirmation… is meant to affirm a prayer or statement…is a term filled with passion and energy”.
(Redacted parts of this quote confirm the origin of the word to African Yoruba language (àṣẹ) originating in Nigeria.)
And further explains “The term originally refers to the life force or vital energy. In this regard it is similar to the term ‘Chi’ in Chinese spirituality, ‘Ki or Qi’ in Japanese culture or ‘Prana’ in Hindu culture. Thus when someone says the word ‘Ase’ they are both giving an affirmation and also sending vital life force energy into the world.”
We encourage you to read the rest of Kaufman’s article, and explore, further, the meaning of Asé. For each of our journey’s may differ – we each, as humans, seek meaning in our lives.
You can also find a deep-dive into the history of the word on Pancocojams blog, which eloquently explores the complexities and culture of the word.
This embodiment of spirituality and blessing – we hope to do this here at Asé Pure Naturals, as well. We wanted a name that represented a variety of meanings to our users, very much like CBD does. For while we each want to live our best lives possible – we each have a personal spiritual journey and wellness journey that is both unique to ourselves and deeply human.
