“Obatala built his house near heaven he awoke in splendor. Who was begat In Igbo (not igbo land in eastern nigeria) than on to Rule at Iranje.. Husband of Yemoo husband of the crippled husband of the albino husband of the hunchback....he who takes from the haves and giveth to the have nots...Great orisa who awake in White sleep in white who remains in white...who is infinitely seated on his throne Yet travels to heaven without walking..who saved the life of the child marked for death. Who is as powerful as death but rather uses his Ase to bless others. Orisa of clean laughter who turns sorrow into joy transform me into many” Although not in particular order this is some of the English translation of historic poetic scripture (oriki) of Obatala called “oosa pipe” of which there are many. Oriki Is used to keep an ordered understanding and account of the history and attributes of the orisa.. #obatala #orisala #oriki #yoruba - Source:: @obatala_efunwale #orisamagazine #orisanla #oriki #orisaculture #modernrorisalifestyle #orisatv #adulawotv #abundancechildpublishing https://www.instagram.com/p/CRO5kYCM3_p/?utm_medium=tumblr
