Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Odu Odi MejiOdi meji is symbolized by the buttocks, representing the meeting of equals. It is an odù focussing on what is hidden within you, deep down at the centre of your essence. Odi affirms the importance of the society in heaven, our divine reflection, and how our actions and attitudes on earth can obstruct this connection. Odi counsels us to be solidly planted in truth in order to erect the axis or pillar that generates a connection between earth and heaven. Truth in this context means knowing where you come from. It speaks of firmness of character and identity. We see this in the various spellings of odi where the accent shifts, giving ideas of enmity, malice, abnormal or errant behavior and muteness as the negative vibrations found where the two halves of the buttocks do not meet in agreement. The buttocks, the two halves that join into a comfortable whole, are a symbol of peaceful union, a place of rest and comfort, for the meeting of soul-mates and the frustration that causes enmity
