Ile Olorisa and Obameri compound hold the festival the same day with each compound re-enacting the opposites given the 'enmity' between them. Ile Olorisa re-enact the leadership of Obatala in Ife, Oduduwa's arrival and claim to seniority thanks to alliances with other figures like Obameri, Obatala's exile to ile Ugbo (I think its present location is an extension of Mokuro from what I was told earlier today) and finally his triumphant return after a delegation of figures like Oramfe, Orunmila etc have gone to appease him to return during which water was poured on the floor for him to walk on back into Ife and stops at the palace gate At Obameri's compound, they do their thing butthey mostly celebrate Obameri's victory and Obatala's exile during which Obameri poured palm wine on the floor behind Obatala as he was escorted out of the town. On the side, I think from actual historical account, this is why Obatala, his brothers (Ijugbe, Oluorogbo, Orisaikire all making up the 'Isoro') and their descendants/devotees do not drink or touch palm wine. This is to state the Obatala getting drunk was actually the mythical side of it. 1 Like |

Beautiful, although I wasn't able to read all of it properly due to the writing format So Oreorelu is Obatala after all?. Susanne Blier in her works made me believe that Oreorelu was a hunter, ruling Ife before obatala |

I think you meant Oreluere/Ereluere not Ore Or'elu. It is chanted in Ife dialect, I'm sorry you couldn't read it properly. On the side, why aren't you on the Yoruba commonwealth thread. You and Folykaze; I wonder why? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Aug 4, 2015. Pg1 We had a thread previously but we lost it as a result of the NL crash. As a result, I thought it would be a good idea to restart the thread for discussions, questions, research and whatever. |
