The Gender of Olodumare and the Divine Spirit Grid
My research using Ifa shows Olodumare cannot be classified as male or female. This gender distinction only applies when a spirit incarnates, and Olodumare never incarnates. I found a “God grid” headed by Olodumare. It includes light spirits (never incarnated) and heavy spirits (with female or male incarnations). Heavy spirits serve inside the grid in cycles of three hundred years before returning to Earth. Among these divine managers, many currently live as women on Earth, though they have also lived as men. They possess high managerial ability but may rank lower in empathy. Their perspectives inform debates in the God grid, such as discussions on religion, prosperity, and the Osa Irosun spiritual cycle.
