They are not called “Mothers” because they are feminine, but because they have engendered 240 combinations which carry the name Dh-Vi (Children of Odu), Ese Ife or Minor Odi. The word “Mother” in reference to the major Odu does not imply femininity. Each of the two vertical columns composing a mother-sign can in effect form a new Odb or sign by separating from its twin by adding one of the other 15 Odi. The number of the major or mother-signs are 16, and the number of the minor Odu are 16 times 15 (16 x 15) or 240. The names of the 16 major signs are composed of the Aku word designating one of the two columns of the Odu, suffixed by the Aku word “Meji”, meaning two or double, and evoking the symmetry of the two parallel columns. The names of the 240 secondary minor Odu or signs are composed by the juxtaposition of the names of the two groups which constitute them from right to left. They are frequently altered for euphonious purposes, or by a certain verbal coquetry expressing sometimes a play on words. One says, for example, Yéku‘Lo-Gbe instead of Oyekt-Gbe, or Ate-Ayisun instead of Trdsin): the total number of the Odi of Iff are 256. Lete-Loso (ireThe 16 major Odu can be divided into eight females and eight males: MALES FEMALES Ogbe-Méji Oyeki-Mejt worm OdeMeit sha Mgji Sworin- Mei Dpan-Mei Okpnron-Meji ‘OgtindsMejt Osa-Méji Tkaeh Sninipon-Mejt Otura-Meji ‘ite-Meji Osé-mgir “Onin Mei. THE ODU THE SIXTEEN GREAT SIGNS AND THEIR MEANING What are the Odu? They are 256 holy attributes of the supreme originating mystery of the universe. They are primordial cosmic beings whose origin is before the world was. They are a juncture of essences. They are foci of divine and material energies. They are conjunctions of deities. They are the divine containers of all existence. They are vortices of light and darkness. They are doorways through which everything which has material and non-material existence came into the world. Everything which exists—every act, word, idea, concept and every dream has an Odi or primordial sign. Since every individual, every ethnic group and every nation has an Od, it is important that the students of If begin an indepth study of the 16 Holy Oda.& sper Fee regi ) 3 tpl -~_- At j + g Hind 1S ae Flow Irawek 7 7 Hie el ses petites at (erie? | Ae (Ane Life Hibactvn al Ime - welvrtrn 17 beg LE ~eygan si —SrKtr— mest Fine — to nah () ~ ~ fore bead GY davapete Hel == E, deenpas- ~ Coke |
