Sango IV

This text is a continuing of the post from July 29 | Sango III.

Remember that the first Sango was the one that left the city of HEAVEN- ORUN AJANTE or AJULE ORUN (that is Yoruba name for heaven), with other great divinities, called IRUNMOLE. These great divinities include Obatala Oseremanigbo, Ifa Orunmila Bara me Agboniregun (HEEPA BABA IMOLE ), Ogun Alakaye Osin Imale (OGUN EREJA), ESU LALU (ESU LAROYE, ESU ODARA, ONILE ORITA OKUNRIN JOGOLO) AND SANGO AKOKO ( THE FIRST SANGO ) .

After the exit of these great Irunmole or Divinities, and most especially Sango in question, ascended to heaven through mysterious means, there had been many of the reincarnation of Sango (the first true Sango ). One of these reincarnation was called TELLA, in the city of Oyo (note, in the olden days, the city of Oyo was called Eyeo or Katunga ). Tella because of his similarity and aggressiveness and fear factor, he was named after the first Sango, IRUNMOLE ATELEJA (divinity with metaphysical forces). Till now, Tella was taken and still mistaken by many for the original Sango who came directly from heaven and His parental lineage is Olodumare, and that is the reason, the first Sango was called DIVINITY from the realm of divine (any being from the realm of divine is called IRUNMOLE ). Tella had earthly Mother and father, His mother came from the land of Nupe, and his father was one of the sons of Oduduwa, hence the later Sango whose original name was Tella is Orisa (a brave man turn to saint, that is, he became a saint after his demise). In Saint in Yoruba Pantheon is called ORISA.

Indeed, Sango and Tella had been taken to be one or the same, because of physical, emotional and spiritual similarities and attitude related to fear, intimidation and aggression. This is a faulty observation as the time that elapsed between divinity and Deity (the heavenly created and earthily glorification). Indeed, Tella’s family is known as Against Sango Irunmole whose parent can be traced to Olodumare as the original mensenger of Infinite merciful Creator. Tella who is later known as Sango Oba Koso, had his mother in the person of OMOTOYOSI, and His father in the person of Oranmiyan It was tella who was a king in the city of OYO or Eyeo ort Katunga who attempted hanging himself and his follower including his cohort advised him against his selfish attitude hence he was name

ARAMBABI EKUN OKO OYA (NOTICE- OKANRAN MEJI STATES, A KI LEGBE LAYE, KI A MAA MAA NI TORUN, MEANINGS, WE HAVE ASSOCIATION HERE AND HERE AFTER, THAT IS EARTHILY MATES. OR ASSOCIATION AND THE HEAVENLY MATES OR ASSOCIATION ARE CONNECTED AND PRESENT IN OUR LIVES), NOTE THE ASSOCIATION OF AYE AKAMARA IS HEAVENLY BOUND. WE ARE CONNECTED TOGETHER NOT BY HUMAN WISDOM BUT BY DIVINE MEANS, IT IS GREAT PROMISED THAT WE SHALL ALL LIVE TO SEE THE BLESSINGS OF OLODUMARE IN OUR LIVES ALWAYS. REMEMBER THAT WHATEVER YOU DO TO ONE MEMBER HERE ON EARTH, WILL BE RE-MEMBERED IN THE HEAVEN, THAT IS, THE HEAVENLY MATES WILL PICK UP THE VIBRATION TO BLESS OR CAUSE YOUR CLONE IN HEAVEN. TO REMEMBER YOUR GOOD ATTITUDE IN HEAVEN, YOUR ACTION HERE AND YOUR ATTITUDE MUST BE DIVINE AND GOOD. ALWAYS LOOK FOR WAY TO ADD VALUE TO OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES, MOST ESPECIALLY YOUR EARTHILY MATES OR THOSE ON THE LIST OF OUR PRAYER REQUEST .

SANGO, ARAMBABI, TELLA OKO OYA ORIRI – THE STORY

About a two and half centuries ago OR MORE, there reigned in the old town of oyo know as OYO ILE or KATUNGA, a king called Shango Oba Koso, who was very powerful and wise monarch. He was a great medicine man or witch-doctor and claimed to be able to kill people by ejecting fire from his mouth. His reign was tyrannical and cruel, brute and violent . He had two emissaries in the person of GBONKA and TIMI.

GBONKA complete name was GBONKA EBIRI OMO AJIBOGUN SORO, KUGUKUGU BOJU RORO POMOJE MEANS A GREAT GBONKA WITH POWERFUL CHARM AND MYSTERIOUS EYES THAT KILL WITHOUT MERCY ) WHILE TIMI FULL NAME, WAS ”TIMI AGBALE OLOFA INA, OKUNRIN BI OKUTA, JAGUNJAGUN ( TIMI, THE BRAVE MAN WITH GREAT ARC FLETCHER OR ARROW, MAN LIKE STONE, THE GREAT WARRIOR )

The two powerful men was under the control of SANGO ARAMBABI OLUKOSO AJALA IJI, but he ( SANGO ) knew that his end was imminent because of these two great warriors, he decided to eliminate the two by setting them up against one another. He failed to realize that ”OKo ta ba so mope, lope ma saa so maani, eni derun lerun ma to, elulu to fa ojo, ori ara re lo fa le, ohun ti a ba gbin la ma ka”, translated, to mean, whatever you plant you reap, it is written at the portal (door) of heaven, which is unchangeable law of divine realm). Hence every man must desist from evil, evil spread like ashes, likewise goodness spread like fire under the sun, always seek good, do good and establish good where your leg and your destiny take you to. The witch and the wizard are within, the mercy and goodness are within, you only fuel the one you like best and like most , like a small seed that transform into big tree or large shrub, your past attitude, action and habit are picked by the outside vibration and ether, and they were sent back to you in double or triple, hence, you accuse the world and the people living in the world as being cruel, brute and nasty. Examine yourself, most evils are the products of your ignorance, selfishness, greed, and non- chalantan attitude, whenever you want to set one man against another, remember the story of TELLA. Be careful of what you are doing and do it well.

Sango was jealous and set these two great men under him to fight against each other, hoping that both would die. Gbonka conquered Timi, and later Gbonka deposed king Sango. Sango fled in total shame. He was accompanied by his three wives; OYA , OSUN, AND OBA and some of his loyal followers or devotees. He became wanderer in the forest or bush, being gradually deserted by all, until only his favourite wife OYA remained with him. Then, in despair, Sango hung himself on an old tree called AYAN (AYAN TREE ). OYA fled north and became the presiding goddess of the river called ODO OYA or RIVER NIGER .

People who had seen the body of Sango hanging from a tree entered the town and reported OBA SO that the king hanged. The friends of Sango were so incensed that they determined to avenge their deceased monarch

Sango III

This text is a continuing of the post from July 27 | Sango II.

Sango is the god of Lightning, thunder and storms, He is known as Jakuta because of the attitude of throwing stone or fight with stone when he was not invited to choose a holy day for Himself and for his disciples.

Sango is a special kind of divinity that loves to tell the truth. Liars cannot be around or within his presence. Sango metes out justice with precision as IFA makes us to understand that Sango can see anything kept anywhere and can fetch it within seconds no matter the weight of the article.

Odi Ogbe

narrates how Sango’s power was sought to arrest the person who kidnapped the wife of orisa (Deity ). In a brightening light from the sky, he saw where the woman was located and person who took her there; Sango brought the two of them out for the punishment that is adequate. Sango not only punish his captives with death, when the offense committed demands death, he makes sure that they do not receive sympathy. In many instances, he would dissect the corpse of the victim as if the keenest hacksaw blade went through the body but he still keep him in the whole body, the corpse is always black as if it was burnt according to ifa verse:

SANGO OOO

HUM

SANGIRI LAGIRI

OLAGIRI KAKAKA

FI IGBA EDUN BO

EFIN INA LA DA LAYE

INA NBE LODO OKO MI LORUN ,

TRANSLATION

SANGO OOO

HUM

WALL BREAKER , THE GREAT WALL BREAKER

THAT DESTROY OR BREAK THE WALL INTO MANY PARTS

HIDE TWO HUNDRED THUNDERBOLT INSIDE THE FALLING WALL

WE ONLY HAVE SMOKE OF FIRE HERE ON EARTH , THE REAL FIRE IS WITH MY HUSBAND IN HEAVEN

Sango hates impostor and He always brings down those with high look. Never look down on anyone, be meek, gentle and radiate your environment with divine love, wisdom and truth.

Many theory or assumption, have been made in respect to the name of Sango, some even trace his origin to Egypt that is, Sango name was traced to ancient Egypt (God in Egypt) bearing the name of Sango, or a name from which the word is derived. The name ”SANGU ” occurs in the religion history of Chaldea and denote, ONE WHO IS BOUND TO A GOD or ”the representative or vice -gerent of a god” . The view maintained by some observers has been expressed in an earlier books of wisdom that the OMO ODUA or what the modern people called Yoruba seem to have had some contact with Chaldeans. The similarity between the Yoruba words ”Sango” and the Chaldean word ”Sangu” seems to support the view and to suggest the need for research base on the data now available.

The other name of the deity – Jakuta – unmistakable points to an Egyptian origin. The word JA- KU- TA , means ” THE LIVING SOUL (KHU) OF PTAH ” . THE EGYPTIAN GOD PTAH WAS REGARDED AS INCORPORATE IN A STONE .

THE YORUBA WORD FOR A STONE IS OKUTA , THE SOUL OF PTAH , HENCE , THE LITERAL MEANING OF JAKUTA IN YORUBA IS THE FIGHTER WITH STONE.

Another noteworthy Yoruba word is ”A-pa-ta” that is , a rock . It consists of two Egyptian words namely ,Pa , -”a house” and Ta , a modified form of ”PTAH

another words is related to Sango, the word is MOGBA, the word is restricted to the domain of Oyo in the olden days, Mogba is one the highest office within the pantheon of Sango, as god of thunder , fire, sound and storms . Mogba or Magba is from the two word i”OMA(N) or OMO(N) AND ”A-GBA” , that is ”people of the ba” Agba or elderly persons being regarded as possessing in a. special way the spirit or soul of the ancestors.

Sango was once described as –”THE RAM HEADED GOD OF THUNDER”, as one of the chief Yoruba deity, he is highly revered and respected among Yoruba at home and in diaspora.

Sango II

This text is a continuing of the post from July 25 | Sango.

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, this fear give rise to the spiritual and divine invocation and communications to a divinity called SANGO, one of the primary and most complex emotions known in the jungle of life is the emotion of fear. In regard to Olodumare, this emotion has lost its energy because of the fear you have in the being called Olodumare. In regard to Sango it’s energy reaches its climax and raises the emotion to the level of complete terror and dread. No deity is more dreadful in the religion of Omo Odua for its malevolence as Sango, the god of thunder, lightening and fire. The first name given to Sango is known as Jakuta, that is “the stone thrower”, or “the fighter with stone” . How did he use the name Jakuta, according to the myth in Ejiogbe.

The five great divinities gathered together to choose a day for their devotee to adore and to sing the song of praise to Olodumare through them. Indeed, Obatala chose the first day, know as ojo Taala tabi ojo obatala, orunmila chose the second day name ojo Ifa, Ogun chose the third day named as Ojo alakaiye osin imole, Esu was not asked to choose any date because of his mischevious and cunning manner, out of annoyance Esu went on to inform Sango about the secret plan of the three divinities. Sango rushed to the meeting and threw stone at them to show his anger against the three divinities. The three implored him to stop throwing stone and they explained and begged him for the occurrence. Indeed, Sango accepted their plea and the fourth day was given to him as the day of Jakuta Based on the action of through throwing stone at them during the chosen of holly days for each great ORISAS.

Indeed, within ORISA. We have only four days. That make a week days. Ojo obatala. Ojo Ifa. Ojo Ogun and Ojo Jakuta.

However, Each of these days must used to pray or to offer sacrifice to each of the great divinities to attract to their vibration, support and guidance.

Indeed, Sango name is synonymous with anger, hate and worry. Hence those who worry much and whose anger is constant and hate and fear are great, those who cannot have last long solid relationship with friend, family and parents Should employ and adopt Sango as his guiding ORISA or Irunmole that is ruling his or her destiny.

Sango symbolizes total domination, victory and power to overcome terror Fear and dread.

We shall continue next time.

Sango

Sango as the name implies is a divine name peculiar to heavenly host that transmit enormous energy and vibration to the initiates and the people that adore him in the physical world. Sango is one of the five greatest divinities that left the heaven above (ISALU ORUN) to the world of matter known as (Aye Akamara), on the instruction of Olodumare so that undeveloped souls and spirits can have a prepared ground to grow to meet the heavenly responsibilities and duties. The physical world according to Odu, one of the vibrating energy that create all things in existence, is a prepared terrain to train the soul and to illuminate the spirit for the numerous jobs, works and responsibilities in heaven. The physical world is the temporary abode of the souls , bodies and spirit to attain eternal glory in heaven. Sango is one of the greatest spirit selected to lead the delegation of other renowned divinities in heaven to the physical realm . Remember Obatala or Orisaala Alamo rere, or Orisa-nla Alaso funfun ( that is the divinity with white apparel ) was their leader, followed by Ifa Orunmila bara mi Agbonniregun , Ogun alakaiye osin Imole. Sango( complete name Sango arambabi Akaka yari yari Ina lo ju, Ina Ni Mu, Ina lenu). and esu lalu ogiri oko. They were more than these big five in numbers , but we need to speak and teach these five divinities to know the source of all things according to Vibration accorded to them by Olodumare.

Obatala was given the power to teach and show human the creative power. Honesty to live a dignify life, purity to attract the best both places of existence can offer. Uprightness and fidelity to be able to live well in the physical state of existence. According to Obatala Oseremagbe that is Obatala the ancient of days. Honesty. Uprightness. Truthfulness Diligence. Straightforwardness, morality. Purity. Creativity Fidelity are the spiritual characteristics of a man who wants to live an distinguished life here and here after. No man attain eternal glory according to obatala without these characteristics . Hence we must all strive to engage and adopt these features to be blessed from generation to generation.

Orunmila is to teach wisdom. Knowledge. Understanding and perseverance to become a sage, a saviour and a saint . Without wisdom and discipline no man attain sainthood, or sage- hood or saviour-hood . Every man must strive for knowledge and dedicate his time to exhibit such knowledge to be blessed at every realm and level of existence.

Ogun is the demonstration of the pure or brute forces of Olodumare in the jungle of life. Without force or energy we can become an easy prey to all other felines in the jungle of life. Hence force and real power is acquired through spiritual knowledge and divine capacities.

Sango according to odu Ifa under Okanran meji

Ina lo ju

Ina lenu

Ina ni gbogbo ara

Gba mi ooo

Sango mo ke

mo gba

Translation

Fire in his eyes

Fire in his mouth

Fire all over his body

Come to my aid

Help me

Oh great Sango

I cry and hail thee

Please help me

The above verse taking from okanaran meji shows the features of Sango As the author of fire. Rainfall, Thunder , Lightening and aid all forces of natural potentials include whirlwind in the nature. When we prepare to accumulate spiritual knowledge and divine wisdom we strive to attract the force of Sango so as to prepare us to the task ahead.

Indeed. Sango as one of the greatest divinities that Shows the world of men that fire , thunder, lightening, and other turbulence other energies of violent characteristics come from heaven These energies are not man induced forces but heavenly demonstration of power and forces to proof the existence of unknown and bring these forces to the knowledge of men in the physical state of e existence

According to the words

Sango laakikosun ooo

Maa pe mo ba o loye mo pe Loruko

Sagiri lagiri

Olagiri kaka ka

Fi igba edun boo

Eefin Ina be aye

Ina nbe lodo oko mi lorun

Translation

Sango ooo, the greatest one

Do not care by calling you by your. name

The destroyer of all evil wall

The breaker of all evil manifestation

The striker that strike all misfortune

With two hundred and more thunder stone

The smoke of fire is what we have and manifested in the physical plain

The real fire is in heaven with My lord .

Indeed. The above chant shows the great importance of divinity called Sango , and the real force of life is unseen and heavenly acquired through spiritual knowledge of Sango

Indeed. After the ascension of Sango. There are many of his incarnation. We shall discuss all in the next text or teaching

God bless you

LOVE, DEDICATION, DEVOTION AND RESPECT TOWARDS THE IRUNMOLE/ORISA

Ela ‘boru. Ela ‘boye. Ela ‘bosise.

Do you love and revere the Irunmole/Orisa? Do you? Do your honor them and rightly represent them? Do you really? If the Irunmole/Orisa had a conversation with everyone whom you know and they were to disclose everything they know about your activities, thoughts and intentions for all to see, how do you think you would fare? Would your conscience and actions uphold and vindicate you or would you have to lower your head in shame and dishonor? What do you say?

What is the basis of your personal relationship with the Irunmole/Orisa? Are you mindful of them and aware of what their aims are? Do you share affinity with the Irunmole/Orisa and their aims? Or do you only draw near to them to ask for favors and benefits with a heart lacking in consideration, appreciation and love? Do the Irunmole/Orisa exist to serve you or should you be serving them and acquainting yourself with their program, plans and activities?

Do you think that you can secure the favor of the Irunmole/Orisa and bribe them with a sacrificial offering, offering of some fruits/vegetables and/or some other trinkets? Do you think and believe that the Irunmole/Orisa are really interested in these things and desirous of them? Do you think that Irunmole/Orisa are really dependent on you for offerings of water, liquor, meats and other eatables?

Are not the Irunmole/Orisa more interested in your quality of heart and manner of living? Is it not your genuine inner love, appreciation, awe and reverence (respect) for the Irunmole/Orisa the true ‘food and nourishment’ which causes their hearts to take delight in you and which strengthens them with enthusiasm, gratitude and care?

Do you think that the Irunmole/Orisa are partial and biased like ordinary human beings? Do you not know that the good actions of others which they reward will also be shared by you if you engage in the same good and honest actions? Do you not know that the same bad and dishonest actions that they chastise, discipline and punish in others will also be equally shared by you if you are engaging in the same bad, irreverent and dishonest actions?

What is the proof that you really love and care for the Irunmole/Orisa? Other than yourself who is benefiting from your love, awe, reverence and dedication to the Irunmole/Orisa? What are you gaining from your devotion to the Irunmole/Orisa? What are the Irunmole/Orisa gaining from your devotion and service to them? Are you really serving them or are you serving yourself in their name? Are you truly honoring or praising them with your life and devotion or are you simply praising yourself and worshipping your ‘self’? Are you collaborating with the noble objectives of the Irunmole/Orisa or are you attempting to do the impossible, to use the Irunmole/Orisa for your own purposes and indulgence? What is your aim and purpose in your devotion and service to the Irunmole/Orisa? Do you in fact have genuine unselfish devotion to the Irunmole/Orisa and are you really serving them? Do people see, perceive and experience the nobility, truthfulness and sincerity of the Irunmole/Orisa in you and in your life or do they feel that you are just taking them along for a ride and attempting to pull the wool over their eyes?

Ponder these questions carefully and seriously? Self deception is the greatest tragedy. Artificial, ostentatious and fake piety is the greatest hypocrisy. Falsity is fatal to esin ibile.

Ela ‘boru. Ela ‘boye. Ela ‘bosise.

OBATALA III

The devotee of Obatala should all refrain from given Him processed or unnatural food. Obatala happen to be a natural deity or divinity, hence natural materials must be given to Him as a way of appeasing to His being or His entity.

Intact, white kola nuts must be offered, with snails and white soup prepared with Ori that is Shea butter. Pounded yam can be used during sacrifice or yam. Water is one of the greatest sacrificial materials for Obatala, that is the reason Obatala encourage drinking of water as a medicinal and spiritual steps to ward off negative vibration from our system. Water according to Obatala serves as a divine step to the soul, spirit and the body. It is advisable to the initiate of Obatala to go an water fasting to real cleanse their alma, soul and body and get rid of toxic from the body. Obatala says that just as water serve all soul in creation, the devotees of Obatala must serve every soul in creation to fulfill their destiny. Service is tantamount and peculiar to the people with the energy of Obatala. The word discipline is the foundation of Obatala. He really manifest the attribute of discipline in his marital life, Obatala shows and teaches us as human to maintain monogamous life, whereby husband and wife should be extremely honest to one another for survival, protection, long life, prosperity, victory and generation blessing.

In comparison to other IRUNMOLE , Obatala happen to be the true representative of OLODUMARE ON MARITAL ISSUE. OBATALA teaches us that a man who is not faithful to his wife or husband should be trusted at all. Such person is considered and compared to a dog that love to chase many female dog if given the chance. Ifa under Ogbe Ogunda tells us the story of dog as a human living in heaven who happened to be the faithful discipline of OBATALA (we shall speak about that tomorrow) food deposited in the body for a long time. Note fasting should be done with care.

Obatala is the divinity in charge of molding human heads before given them back to Olodumare for his breath of life which in Ifa words is called EMI, hence out of the word, the other name of OLODUMARE emanated as ELEMI, the lord or giver of life or giver of spirit or donor of soul.

After a body or head is moulded by Obatala or is being moulded and life is given to such soul, then the soul is sent to the physical state of existence to serve and fulfill his own destiny called Ayanmo.

It is in the presence of the same Obatala that one would have to latter to choose his Ori, make agreement on what his destiny, called AYANMO would be. Obatala would command some to have wealth, some children, some combination of the two.

Human errors engendered by ignorance and high handedness may have been part of the reason why the Ori of some people make progress in life when compared with the other, if not for this, it is certain that every man would have something good in front of Obatala Oseremnagbo. Obatala advice every man and woman to serve to be able to fulfill to his or her destiny. Faith in OLODUMARE and discipline being it mental, emotional and food, physical, spiritual and divine to ensure fulfillment of destiny.

According to odu Ogbe Ogunda that is Ogbe Yonu:

Where, ORISEEKU, ORILEEMURE AND AFUWAPE went to choose Ori from the spiritual market of EJIGBOROMEKUN is a good example of hoe discipline and good character can be of great importance in fulfilling ones destiny.

Life is short, be careful of chasing shadow or wasting your time with idle or gossipers.

OBATALA part II

AFTER EXAMINE THE MEANING OF THE NAME OF OBATALA OSEREMAGBO, IT IS ALSO PERTINENT TO KNOW THE POSITION OF OBATALA BY OLODUMARE AT ALL LEVEL OF CREATION .

INDEED, OLODUMARE CHOSE OBATALA FROM HEAVEN (AJULE ORUN) TO LEAD THE CONTINGENT OF DIVINITIES (IRUNMOLES) TO THE PHYSICAL STATE OF LIFE KNOWN AS AYE AKAMARA. AYE AKAMARA ACCORDING TO ODU (THE VIBRATION OF OLODUMARE ) WAS FILLED WITH CONTRADICTING ENERGIES FIGHTING FOR DOMINATION OF SOUL, SPIRIT AND BODY. ACCORDING TO THE MYTH WHAT IS CALLED NEGATIVE VIBRATION AND POSITIVE VIBRATION CO -EXIST AND CONSTANTLY FIGHTING FOR POSITION OVER EVERY SOUL AND SPIRIT CREATED BY OLODUMARE AND THE RESULT WAS THE DESTRUCTION OF THE BODY OR CAUSING GREAT HAVOC TO LIFE FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. UNKNOWN TO ALL IRUNMOLE, THE PUNITIVE KNIGHT OF HEAVENLY DOOM (AJOGUN ORUN) NAMELY, DEATH, DISEASES, LOSS, DESTRUCTIONS, LAWSUIT, AND OTHER NEGATIVE VIBRATION HAD SECRETLY FOLLOWED THEM FROM HEAVEN. INDEED, OBATALA LED THE CONTINGENT, BUT FAILED TO OFFER NECESSARY SACRIFICES AND RITUALS TO COPE WITH THE CONTRADICTING FORCES IN THE PHYSICAL STATE OF LIFE ( AJULE AYE OR AYE AKAMARA). DURING THIS ADAPTATION, OBATALA RESOLVED INTO DRINKING OF NATURAL WINE FROM ETHER , THAT IS, DRINKING OF PALM WINE ( EMU OR OGURO) THE RESULTANT EFFECT WERE DEEP SLEEP AND SLUMBER AND WITHOUT MUCH EFFORT, ORO (ONE OF THE ANCESTRAL ENERGY IN CREATION ) SNATCHED IGBA IWA FROM OBATALA (IGBA IWA IS THE CALABASH OF LIFE AND IT IS USED TO REDEEM A SHATTERED DESTINY AND LIFE . IGBA IWA ENSURED DESTINY FULFILMENT .)

NOTE, PALM TREE, PALM NUTS AND PLAM WINE COME FROM ONE SOURCE, BUT THE SACRED TREE CALLED OPE HAS A CONSTRUCTIVE FORCES AND DESTRUCTIVE ENERGY WITHIN, JUST AS LIFE HAVE BOTH THE DESTRUCTIVE FORCE CALLED AJOGUN ORUN OR ALAJOGUN, AND CONSTRUCTIVE ENERGIES CALLED ODU OR OLODU OR, THE LEVEL OF THESE FORCES IN HUMAN LIFE DEPENDS ON IWA -( BEING OR CHARACTER) ORI ( MENTAL FORCE REPRESENTED BY PHYSICAL HEAD, AND DESTINY ) OR IPIN -FATE OR LOT ) OR IDILE( GENERATION FACTOR ), WHEN ONE USES FAITH AND WISDOM OF OLODUMARE AND HIS NUMEROUS DIVINITIES COUPLED WITH ODU, AND GOOD CHARACTER, THERE IS GREAT CHANCE TO REVERT ALL WHAT IS CALLED EVIL OR MISFORTUNE TO GOOD OR FORTUNE AND TO REVERT EVERY CONTRARY FORCES INTO POSITIVE FORCE.

Olodumare

Iba Ire Olodumare!

Oba ateni legelege fori sapeji omi, meaning reverence to you my mighty Olodumare, the king that spread a thin mat using his head as rain fountain.

Who is Olodumare in the Yoruba conception or theology? Olodumare is the Creator of all divinities, deities, souls, spirits and other seen and unseen vibrations and energies in the Cosmos. These primeval deities were said to have descended through a mystical medium to the physical world thereby leaving Olodumare and the host of other divinities like Ajagunmale – Oluwo Ode Orun (that is ajagunmole, the chief priest of heaven), Aroyeweye (the wisest and the knowledgeable), and Adi Omo Elebu (the strong and the brave), with Ela opitan Ela Omo Osin (that is Ela the offspring of God) with other great divinities serving God in his highest glory and also helping humanity in their low state.

Olodumare is called Olofin Orun or Oluwa or Olorun, that is the great being of heaven. Olofin Orun was the first being to occupy the firmament. No one ever has the notion of his image, but we see and feel his greatness on daily basis. Just as Ogher great energies are unseen but serve all cretures in creation like air, Olodoumare is supported and the beginning of all things that ever existed and would exist in creation, Ifa speaks of the immense glory of Olodumare out of which odu the energy of his being is extracted to serve and bless all things in creation. He is known as

“Oba Ti Ki Ku,

Oba Ti Kii Run,

Oba Ti Ki Toogbe,

Oba Ti Ki Sun,

Oba Olowo Gbogboro Ti Yo Omo Tire Lofin Aye”,

meaning:

The king that does not die,

would not die,

nor fall sick or ill forever,

the almighty that does not sleep nor slumber,

the being with immense power,

with great hand that cross out evil from the path of his creatures.

Hence a great reference to him on daily basis to connect him and ensure our survival in the jungle of life. Remember all rivers, stream and water must connect the great ocean so as to guarantee their survial and prevent their dryness likewise all cratures must daily connect Olodumare through prayer and ogher spiritual steps to guarantee their survival.

May God bless you and bless your being and your loved ones today and forever.
