The intention of this blog is merely to honor Olorun in respect to African based religions.  It only seems right to speak of the Olde Ways that have been ripped away from many by monotheism, and soon i will get to the Celtic Folk of my Ancestry.  Twas some of the Orishas that called me, and Maman Brigette who came from Ireland to Haiti, and married Baron Samedi.  Since i have no experience with Olorun i will copy the words of people who have with full credit given to them.  May those of speak of Him be blessed. +++ase+++

Wikipedia says that "Olorun (Yoruba: Ọlọrun or Ọlọhun) literally, especially, Ọlọrun means The Ruler of (or in) the Heaven i.e. Oni Orún - the Ruler of (or in) the Heaven. In Yoruba Mythology Ọlọrun is said to be the name given by the Oracles to one of the three manifestations of the Supreme God in the Yoruba pantheon. Olorun is the owner of the heavens and as associated with the Sun. The vital energy of Olorun manifests in humans as Ashé, which is the life force that runs through all living things.^[1] In Africa, Akamara is believed to be the Source of all Existence. Olodumare carries the responsibility of coordinating the Universe, while Olofi is identified with Olofin Oduduwa (a different entity but born of Akamara) who brings existence to earth on orders from Olodumare.

The Supreme God has three manifestations: Eledumare, the Creator; Olorun, ruler of the heavens; and Olofi, who is the conduit between Orún (Heaven) and Ayé (Earth).

Among the Yoruba Muslims and Christians, the word Ọlọhun i.e. Oni Ohún is, instead, commonly used to denote their faith in God as The Almighty Divine, The Absolute Sovereign.

Etymology[edit]

From Yoruba Language, -Olo- denoting ownership or rulership, and -Orun- meaning Heavens or The Abode of the Spirits" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olorun

Top Sky God of Peace, Justice and the Yoruba way

He’s the great king of the Universe and the glorious pinnacle of Yoruba mythology. Like the Christian JEHOVAH he is also a three-in-one trinity god — comprising OLORUN the Lord of Heaven, OLODUMARE, the Ultimate Creator and OLOFI the Messenger. Excellent value."

OLORUN

"Olorun the Sun, the perennially visible realization of divinity. He is the most sensitive manifestation and material of Olofi and Olordumare and that the religious become when they think about these.

He is the vital force of existence and, thanks to his heat and energy he makes our crops grow, there is day and night, moving waters and winds. He is a sign of life and plant creation, sustenance of the existence in the flat land Olorun is the owner of light, colors, air, breath and blow of life also, stamina and effort.

Believers, and in particular the babalawos greet him standing against the Sun with wide open arms towards the front and with the palms of the hands facing up." http://divinemoon.tumblr.com/post/51603691409/the-divinity-olodumare-olofi-olorun-t
