IFA'S CREATION Story 1 by cygnus05(m): 6:07pm On Aug 08, 2021 |
IFA'S CREATION STORY Interpreted and Combined By: Baba Solagbade Popoola Narrated and Revised By: Iya Ehime Ora This is the creation story as told by the holy odus. Odus hold the esoteric wisdom of the universe and meaning of life. I attached the exact verses in both Yoruba and English translation. There is also an audio post included here where I narrate the Creation Story for those who like my story telling and just don't wanna read because it is quite long! The Creation Story is separated in Five Stages, let's get into it. STAGE 1: OSA OGUNDA According to the holy odu of Osa Ogunda, there are five parts of creation that were meant to achieve the Earth's perfection. In the space of no time and nothingness, there was only one being. Akamara. A being with no flesh, no blood, no human form. Neither overly masculine or overly feminine, Akamara exists just as. Akamara is the consciousness of the entire galactic universe, the living universal spirit. How Akamara came to be in itself is a mystery. According to the odu of Osa Ogunda, when Akamara emerged, the first thing they created was sand. Akamara blew a mighty breath into the sand. And from the grain of sand turned into a bag of sand. And then the bag of sand became hot with gases and dews, leading to a mighty explosion that lasted for quite sometime. This is Ifa's Big Bang. Everything that you see around you was the creation of Akamara's cool breath. Through their breath, it gave us all life. Yoruba Iri tu wili tu wili Iri tu wili tu wili Iri tu wili-wili Koo tu reke-reke Dia fun Origun Ti nloo s’eda ibu orun ati aye ni’gba ijinji Iri tu wili tu wili Iri tu wili tu wili Iri tu wili-wili Koo tu reke-reke English May the dew burst out quickly May the dew burst out rapidly May the dew burst out continuously And be so vast throughout the expanse These were the declarations of Ifa for Origun When going to coordinate the creation the vast expanse of the Universe In the very dawn of time May the dew burst out quickly May the dew burst out rapidly May the dew burst out continuously And be so vast throughout the expanse The second assignment Akamara did was the creation of the Origun. Which are intergalatic universal beings who are higher than the Irunmole*. Origun was assigned the responsibility of coordinating all the gases and dews to create the stars. The origun was responsible for star formations and constellations which still continues to this day as per Akamara's order. This is how we are able to find new stars and galaxies every second, they are constantly at work! STAGE 2: OSA OGUNDA The gases and dews were solidifying into stars and other heavenly bodies nicely, but a problem ensued! It was found out that the stars and other bodies were too hot and couldn't complete the assignments Akamara gave them because of it. The stars had to be cooled down to a normal temperature! The lower temperature would allow them to solidify with greater ease. This is why Akamara created another higher-being named Olu-Iwaye to cool down these bodies--and it succeeded allowing them to rapidly form. Yoruba Dia fun Olu-Iwaye Ti nloo p’ero si ibu orun ati aye in kutukutu owuro Iri tu wili tu wili Iri tu wili tu wili Iri tu wili-wili Koo tu reke-reke English It was also declared for Olu-Iwaye When going to sooth and pacify the hotness of the universe In the dawn of life May the dew burst out quickly May the dew burst out rapidly May the dew burst out continuously And be so vast throughout the expanse 1 Like
