OLUWA – LORD
OLIFIN ORUN – KING OF HEAVEN )
ORISE -SOURCE OF ALL THINGS
ADEDA ASEDA – THE CREATOR
ELEMI – THE OWNER AND KEEPER OF LIFE e.t.c
Even some have interpret Olodumare to mean OLODU TO MON IRE (That’s the owner of big clay pot that contain blessing )but as I told you earlier the first meaning I give seem the most correct and for most authority on it.
I have heard and read my self some authors and especially foreign spiritual authors teaching and writing that Olodumare is a male in gender, some say Olodumare is a female. This notion of assigning gender whether male or female to Olodumare is absolutely wrong with due respect. .The correct position is that olodumare is neither male or female, olodumare is transcendent omniscient and gender neutral deity. In Yoruba cosmology Olodumare is believe to be ONE, it is believe that Olodumare is the creator of heaven and earth and whole universe, he is supreme over what is on earth and in heaven. Olodumare supremacy is absolute. He is acknowledge by all orisha and divinities as the one who all power and authority belong, he can do and undo any thing he want. No body have ever seeing Olodumare including the Orisha. It is only Orunmila that see a part of his buttocks after a gigantic sacrifice at the sea.
