Olodumare

Olodumare is the supreme deity in the Yoruba religion, originating from the Yoruba people of Nigeria. Olodumare is considered the creator of the universe and embodies ultimate power and intelligence. This deity is often associated with concepts of divinity, unity, and the source of all creation. In Yoruba belief, Olodumare is distant and transcendent, yet influences the world through lesser deities called Orishas, who serve as intermediaries between humans and the divine. Olodumare represents the essence of existence and is central to the spiritual practices and cosmology of the Yoruba culture.
