Aje embodies the spiritual force behind material wealth. In Yoruba thought, wealth is not merely physical but has a spiritual dimension that must be properly cultivated.
Aje is particularly associated with marketplace success. Women traders invoke her blessings before trading, and her presence ensures fair dealing and profitable commerce.
Sometimes considered an aspect or daughter of Olokun, Aje represents the accessible wealth that flows from the ocean depths into human hands through trade and industry.
Aje emerged from the primordial waters alongside Olokun, carrying the essence of abundance into the world of humans.
