Aboru Aboye Abosise
As it is taught in the Odu's: Ose, the Conquerer - is the source of abundance and fertility in the earth. Symbolically Ose is associated with fresh water. Historically culture developed around sources of fresh water. Ifa teaches that abundance and fertility are the consequence of proper use of the power of the word in prayer (aladura). In its negative manifestation the drive towards abundance can replace Spirit as a source of motivation. Because Ifa teaches the belief That children are a form of abundance, Ose includes the allure of the erotic as an expression of the desire to procreate.
