All stuff here is free.... including some special parts of Odu texts, special experiences and special personal insights, not to mention the odd bit of Odu info that is usually considered "secret". I share it willingly with y'all, but in order to enable me to "keep it coming" (there are nearly a thousand paper pages that I still have to put online), a monthly subscription of US$5 would be mightily appreciated. So you're cordially invited to hit the button below!
If Eshu tries to distort the world,
it is Ela who resists him
Ela does not receive a reward.
Ela does not receive kolanuts.
Ela encourages human happyness
and creates long life.
He made Odundun the king of the leaves,
he made the ocean the king of the waters,
he made the lagoon its priest.
Ela is good and pure as crystal,
the radiating one, clear as a shooting star,
he who prays constantly.
