ORISA OLU ODO (THE GUARDS  OF THE RIVER) BY BABALAWO OBANIFA –Obanifa extreme documentary

In this series Babalawo Obanifa will make comprehensive documentation about Orisa Olu  Odo In Yoruba spirituality. There are been many misconceptions by many practicing Babalawo and Orisa practitioners  about Olu odo ,for example , I have  heard where many practicing Awo said Yemoja Is Olu Odo, some will even say Yemoja Olu Odo. Some erroneous school of thought in Yoruba tradition as well has opined that that all Orisa like Osun,Yemoja Oluweri, and any orisa that is affiliated with water can be regarded as Olu odo. With due respect to those who held this aforementioned erroneous view and teach them .Their view is wrong and base on misinformation and spiritual miss-education. In this current work  I have make my finding across Yoruba land as whole and I am going to explain genuine information about  Orisa Olu Odo and area of influence.

 Who Is Orisa Olu Odo ?

Actually the deities been refer to as Olu odo is not one. In Yoruba spirituality according to what the elder pass across to us. Olu Odo is a termed used to describe the spiritual being or beings that are responsible for sanitation of any rivers, stream, and ocean or water body. It is believe that every water body has messengers that that are responsible for clearing it surface of garbage, refuse and dirt.  It is believed that Olu Odo energy work with flow or river currents. Every flowing river or current have it. It is believe that any river that lack the current or capacity to clear it surface of dirt, refuse and  garbage  cannot be say to have the active deities known as Olu odo. 

Olu Odo is not worship as Orisa but some elder do appease it with a piece of white clothes,kolanut and gin. It is  instructive that Olu odo deities cannot  be appease with other thing because it hate dirt.
