Orunmila is recognized as a primordial Irúnmọlẹ̀ (an Orisha that has a hand in the creation of the Universe) that was present both at the beginning of Creation and then again amongst humanity as a priest that taught an advanced form of spiritual knowledge and ethics during visits to earth in physical form or through his disciples.
Orunmila is the spirit of wisdom among the Irunmole and the divinity of destiny and prophecy. He is praise named "Igbákejì Olódùmarè" (second in command to olodumare( and "Ẹlẹ́rìí ìpín" (witness of fate). It was also Orunmila who carried Ifá (the wisdom of Olodumare) to Earth. Priests of Ifá are known as babalawo and Priestesses of Ifá are known as iyanifa.
Orunmila is considered as a sage, recognizing that Olodumare placed ori (intuitive knowledge) in him as a prime orisa. It is Ori who can intercede and affect the reality of a person much more than any other Orisha. Happy Ose IFA!!!
