ORISHA OKO
ORISHA OKO
Who is Orisha oko:
Orisha Oko is an Orisha that in nature represents the earth and in life agricultural work and crops. It is directly related to agriculture and the countryside. Protector of tillage and plows. It gives strength to life because it provides the means of supporting it by giving it the necessary food to live. It is strongly related to Oggún and Olokun
It comes from Saki territory, west of Òyó. He is considered the arbiter of disputes, especially between women, although he is often the judge of disputes between the Orishas. He is a hard worker and keeper of secrets, it is said that his testicles hang to the ground, due to his iron chastity. It is the one that provides food to the world, for being the earth itself.
It ensures the prosperity of the crops, its messengers are the bees and it represents prosperity and fertility, which is why barren women turn to it. It forms an important trilogy with Oke and Oggué, responsible for the harvests, the rains, the internal fire capable of splitting the earth and the animals.
It has two personalities, during the day it represents the pure and perfect man, at night it disguises itself as Ikú (death). He receives the corpses that Yewá gives him and those that Oyá sends him through Babalu ayé. It also lives on roofs. Its name comes from the Yorùbá Òrìsá Okò (Orisha del Labrado). It is not received as a tutelary Orisha, in which case Yemaya is made with Gold for Orisha Oko.
In syncretism it is compared to San Isidro Labrador (May 15). Its color is the red and white. Its number is 7 and its multiples. Greetings Maferefún Orisha Oko!

Orisha oko patakies:
After Olokun invaded everything with his waters, the inhabitants of the planet had no choice but to take refuge in the highest mountain.
Many were the attempts to get Olofin's attention to solve that difficult situation. The men devised to make a great tower that would reach the sky, but the masons from so much working isolated ended up speaking a language that the others could not understand, the same thing happened to the carpenters and so on to each group of workers.
In this way different languages arose and it became so difficult to continue that little by little they abandoned the construction of the building.
A farmer named Oko had a better idea. With his farm tools he made seven huge furrows in the mountain and planted each one with plants of a different color.
One morning when Olofin looked towards the Earth, he saw the drawing that Oko had made. He liked it so much that he immediately ordered a bridge to be made with seven colors equal to those on the mountain so that the author of that wonder could go up to his palace.
When Oko told him what had happened, Olofin outraged ordered Yemayá to chain Olokun at the bottom of the sea.
Oko returned to Earth, which now had more space to farm, because the sea waters had receded. To the extent that men learned of his feat they began to call him Orisha oko.
Olofin decided that Oshumare, the rainbow, would come down to Earth from time to time as a memory of that event.
