These sacred forces are the umbilical cords that nourish and sustain all multidimensional activity and movement.
Serving as the nexus for all of creation, Odú are universal points of physical and metaphysical ingress and egress. They reveal the forces obscured from view and translate the kinetic patterns of spirit into tangible rhythms of communication. The Odú issue words of blessings, but also carry admonitions and warnings. Odú holds the answers to all of life’s questions and collectively they become the eternal compass that directs and redirects one on their journey. They are the pure voice of divinity that expresses itself in absolute binary perfection. Uninhibited by space and time, Odú is the original language of the Ancestors and Orisa. Odú is the oracular utterance of the spirits, the divine wisdom of all those who have come before and those who have yet to be born. They are the blood and bones of our natural and supernatural existence. They are the cosmic energies of creation-the very fabric of life itself! Like brilliant points of light positioned around the circumference of the Universe, Odú are the stars from whose holy emanation worlds are born. Odú governs the cycles of nature and the sands of time. The varied manifestations of Heaven and Earth are born through Odú and it is through these same sacred pathways that they will be returned to the primordial void.
The Odú are transcendental mandalas that mark the active and inactive energies of a given situation with startling accuracy.Īll that was, is, or ever will be, is born through Odú, including the Orisa and their sacred ase. They are holistic maps that chart the dynamic movement of energy and identify the most primal forces of the natural world. The Odú are the sacred symbols that hold the ase (power/life force) of everything in existence. While both elements reveal a small part of Odú, the greater mystery lies far below the surface. Others equate Odú with the verses associated with each symbol that forms part of the body of the Ifa divinatory corpus. Many people define Odú as the physical symbols used to mark the signs received during the divination process.
