Ilé Axé Asìpá, also known as the Sociedade Cultural e Religiosa Ilê Axipá is an Afro-Brazilian terreiro in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
Terreiros dedicated to egum appeared in Brazil in the early 19th century, largely by slaves associated with the city of Oyo in Nigeria.
The hierarchy of egum terreiros is strictly patriarchal; unlike Candomblé temples, women are not initiated into leadership roles.
[2][3] While dedicated to the worship of egum, Ilê Axipá is associated with the Ketu sect of Candomblé.
The ethnologist Maria Gabriela Hita noted that despite the stature of Mestre Didi and visits by prominent figures in Bahian society, the terreiro has few followers in the neighborhood and has not participated in its urban renewal or other social movements.
