New art of Nana Buluku, the West African Goddess Who created the cosmos, including the Moon and the Sun. Done as the April Goddess by Request over on my Patreon. Digital art, to look like a linoleum block print.
She holds a carved calabash (gourd), which symbolizes the two parts of the universe–this earthly world and the Otherworld of the dead and the Gods. Her daughter Mawu (the Moon) and Her son Lisa (the Sun) are in the corners; She is dressed all in shades of purple, as that is Her color. She is also associated with water; the fish on Her skirt are after ones on a carved door. Behind Her is a spiral representing both the cosmos (like a spiral galaxy) and the whirlpool that in some stories is the entrance to Her home. The designs of the spiral are after designs on adire cloth, which Yoruba women make using an indigo-resist technique. I put a circle in a square with some hints of equilateral triangles to imply a kind of cosmic geometry.
ETA: Oh, I should probably mention that I’ve got Her up on both greeting cards (through Zazzle) and prints (through deviantArt) if anyone’s interested.

Logisch, jede muß ihr eigenes Land hassen. (Auch eine Art von Patriotismus.)
Why do we shy away from our own potential?
Embrace it now:

Irosun Meji gets the rep of being a mostly negative odu, but it also stresses the potential for spiritual revelation and empowerment.
Traditionally Irosun Meji spoke on ones experience consisting of deceit, disappointment and loss (stealth, hidden attacks etc..). This Odu is affiliated with Osun, and the ancestors as well. Folks who got this Odu would generally be suggested to propitiate their ori and possibly dedicate their professional life to Ifá if possible, or to regularly feed/serve Ifá to keep life in balance.
Ifá however, focuses on ascending through revelation and spiritual development. Irosun meji’s marks in the upper half, the single “ I ” represent the free flowing, expansive energies. These are the easy blessings, we have. The lower marks with the “ I I “ represents the contractive energies that impose itself as an obstacle. This would tell us that the person at first has experienced blessings, and that the obstacles imposed come from a certain lack of gradual maturity. The ancestors come into play here. Irosun is a reference to the menstrual blood which is also affiliated with the ancestors. Maturity comes when we are connected to the ancestors, who are the collective experiences of our orí which expresses itself as the gut feeling/ intuition. The person who receives this Odu often needs to reflect and listen to their intuition. The issue with the person who receives this Odu is often that they are aware of their circumstances, but find it difficult to act accordingly. It’s possibly one of the most difficult of the principle 16 odu manage. The person who is given this Odu through a reading is someone who might find themselves feeling unlucky, or cursed, but in fact theres a super hero within them waiting to be let out. It makes for the type of person that can create the most positive of changes in their own lives.
(Everything I say on Odu, is my own, personal, *novice* take on it)
