Orunmila: The Yoruba Orisha of Infinite Wisdom and Destiny

One day, wisdom itself walked off the earth. He didn't storm off in anger. His own child had wronged him, deeply enough that he simply left, returning to the heavens without a word. What happened next terrified everyone. Children stopped being born safely. Crops stopped growing. The entire order of the world began to unravel. This is Orunmila. the orisha of wisdom, knowledge, and divination, founder of Ifá. In this video: – Why Orunmila is considered the only witness to creation – The palm tree where his followers found him, and the gift he left behind – How Ifá's 256 sacred signs became one of the most intricate knowledge systems in African tradition – Why Orunmila and Eshu are partners, not opposites – How Ifá is still practiced today, from Nigeria to Cuban Santería Orunmila is the thirteenth deity explored on this channel. Real wisdom doesn't disappear just because the wise are gone. It leaves behind a way to find it again. #Orunmila #YorubaMythology #AfricanMythology #Orisha #WestAfricanGods #TheGriotFiles #blackhistory
