Could you tell us about the Deity Oshumare?

Baba Oduduwa: It is the Deity that crowns Ọlọkun. Oshumare is the Deity that in the most profound way, is the ruler of reality. In ancient verses it is known that without Oshumare there could be no reality. Reality is nothing more than the perception of all the hues that light emits as part of a reflection in all that it impacts. Oshumare is the Deity related to the variants of frequencies in light.

Oshumare is the Deity that gives sustenance to reality. It is known that Ọlọkun in an aspect of Irúnmọle, controls and rules all that which is darkness, all that which lacks light (When he met Oshumare is that reality could become a reality as a whole. By Irúnmọle Ọlọkun they were able to create all the layers or what you know as dimensions that comprise reality, Oshumare in more practical terms alluded to the rainbow. The being who can manifest all the variants of the frequencies of light is said that that person who receives Oshumare can see things that others cannot see, and this can be seen or manifested in the phenomenon of interpretation or decoding of colors to which the human being cannot look at some frequencies of light. That is why by receiving Oshumare the person can perceive things that others do not perceive.

If she has to receive Oshumare, it is because she has to see something that others cannot see or do not have to see. Oshumare lives on top of Yemoyale, because she is the one who crowns the sea, however, the reality according to certain Ifa verses says that she lives strictly on top of Ọlọkun. It goes in a gourd, and it goes over the icon of Olokun, and it goes in a form to place it over the Deity Ọlọkun, but in the case of her it has to live over Yemoyale.
