Ọ̀yẹ̀kú-Òdí

Overview

An ending is quietly preparing a rebirth. Like a seed in the earth, something that seems finished is transforming out of sight.

Governing Influences

  • Ọ̀yẹ̀kú Méjì — endings, the ancestors, the unseen world, mortality (Ikú (Death) / Ọ̀sun)
  • Òdí Méjì — the womb, mystery, transformation, hidden depth (Ọya / Yemọja)

Guidance

Do not mourn too long. Prepare for what is growing beneath the surface.
