Understanding the Ofun Owonrin Grid in Ifa Spiritual Cosmology

This post explains the author's view of the Ofun Owonrin grid, also called the God grid, within an Ifa-based spiritual cosmology. It is described as the highest council overseeing affairs in heaven and on Earth, made up of powerful spirits and light spirits. According to the account, the grid collects a compulsory share of harvested spiritual food and distributes it to light spirits. It also debates matters concerning heaven and Earth, deploys spirits to carry out its resolutions, and coordinates spiritual activity across both realms. The author further describes Osa Irosun as the form of debate used within the grid, unlike Osa Meji debates involving spirits preparing for incarnation. The post also recounts a family story connected to a 1979 discussion about religion, incarnation and spiritual opposition. Other stated functions include creating challenges to help those considered deserving, and empowering people who volunteer for spiritual tasks.

Calling it the highest council is a strong framing, and readers may want clearer grounding for that interpretation.

A simple breakdown of the grid's members, roles, and relationship to Earth could make the explanation easier to follow.
