Irokospectres

Irokospectres is a term that has emerged within certain online communities, particularly those interested in folklore, mythology, and the intersection of technology and spirituality. The concept generally refers to the spectral or spiritual manifestations attributed to the iroko tree, a sacred tree in West African traditions, particularly among the Yoruba people of Nigeria and Benin. These traditions hold the iroko tree in high regard, believing it to be inhabited by spirits or deities, often associated with wisdom, protection, and ancestral connections.

The term "irokospectres" is not a traditional or academically recognized term. Instead, it appears to be a neologism coined by individuals who are exploring these traditional beliefs through a modern, often digital, lens. Some users of this term may be attempting to bridge the gap between ancient spiritual practices and contemporary concepts of ghosts, spirits, or even digital echoes. It can sometimes be used to describe perceived energetic signatures or unusual phenomena associated with iroko trees, especially in contexts where these trees are viewed as conduits for spiritual energy. The usage of "irokospectres" is often subjective and can vary widely depending on the individual or group employing the term, reflecting a personal interpretation of spiritual experiences and traditional lore.
