When Olofín wanted to create the World, under Obatalá (This Obatalá, is the oldest
of all, it is Obatalá Occua). In the Enthusiasm of Creation, Olofín did things

failures and I leave behind halfway, men for example, I leave them without
heads. As is natural, they wandered aimlessly and the world seemed like a house of

they started to be like we know them and everything seemed fine, today however
they threaten to dismantle all of Olofín's creation and one does not know whether to blame him for it
blame the Father of the Orishas or Oddua, or if to be sad, or if to burst out laughing.

ODDUA - ODUDUA - ODUDUWA


First King of Oyo, dead represents the Mysteries and Secrets of Death.
Owner of Solitude, is Androgynous. Oddua, Oddun, and Orula are brothers who
they always walk together forming a Trinity, through Oddua known as Olorun and
instructs Olofín. His wife is named Oduduaremu and Oño Oro (which syncretizes in
Santa Ana, the one who heals the Dying and assists the Childbirths). She is also
considered as a Path of Obatalá. It may be the oldest of all.

CATALYSIS
Oddua often syncretizes with the name of Jesus and the Blessed Sacrament,
The affinity between Oddua and Jesus Christ seems to rest on the fact that both were
sent by the Divinity to Help Man and Establish Certain Order
about the Earth.

As is known, the Most Holy Sacrament refers to the Eucharist, a ceremony that
is part of the Catholic Mass and where, during the Consecration, the Bread and the Wine are

The identification between Oddua and Jesus is what has led to the syncretization of
Orisha with the Blessed Sacrament.

because it can bring serious consequences to the recipient and to the
participants). If Oddua is really going to respond with Health to the person, the
