"Oludumare/ Olorun is in all things as the ashe is the primal essence of all things. It is not the tree, the rock, the statue that African ancestors revere and worship but the deep energy that brought about its being. In maintaining the “nature religion” the ancestors were able to keep and also strengthen the very real connection between all things and human beings."

To me Ashe sounds like the same thing as Prana.
Prana is the Sanskrit word for "life force" or "vital principle." Prana comprises all cosmic energy, permeating the Universe on all levels. Prana includes energies present in animate and inanimate objects.
