Ojo es la palabra yoruba por das. La religin del pueblo yoruba del suroeste
de Nigeria es Orisa. La palabra "Orisa" significa "aquellos cuyas cabezas se
crearon ms superiores que otros". Cada una de estas deidades son los
ministros de Dios (Olodumare), y la palabra de Dios Todopoderoso. Se
llaman Orisa (Eni ti ori sa da).
Al principio, los seres humanos no tenan nombres para los das. Fue Obatala
(divinidad arco, Dios de la Creatividad) quien fue a Olodumare para obtener
das de semana para todo el resto de Orisa. Fue Orunmila quien estableci
los das, de ah uno de los Odus recit:
Obatala dice:
Fue slo cuatro das que Obatala trajo del cielo al mundo con las 401
deidades. Obatala ya distribua los das entre los otros Orisa, Ogun, Sango y
Ifa, mientras l escoga un da para s mismo. Por lo tanto, el resto de orisa
tuvo que compartir das, p. El da de la semana (Ose Ifa) es el mismo da de
Osun. Obatala comparte su da con Egungun, espritus Ancestrales, Iyami
Aje, y tambin Esu ..
Cinco das es la semana tradicional del calendario del Pueblo Yoruba. Sin
contar el primer da tienes cuatro das. Veinte y nueve das hace un mes.
Que es cuando la luna est llena. La luna pasa quince das en la tierra y
quince das en el cielo.
Ojo Aje (lunes) - es el da en que el dinero se uni a Orisa en la tierra y se
conoce como el da del dinero. Los yoruba utilizan este da para iniciar
negocios y para discutir programas econmicos y sociales.
Abameta (sbado) - tiene los mismos atributos como Ojo Eti. Para evitar tres
tipos de incidentes negativos, los yoruba no usan el sbado para enterrar a
una persona, a menos que la persona sea anciana.
Ojo Oiku (domingo) - Ojo Ariku tambin conocido como Ojo Isinmi es el da
de descanso, y el da Orunmila enterr a Imi, la madre de Esu Odara.

Ojo is the Yoruba word for days. The religion of the Yoruba people of
southwestern Nigeria is Orisa. The word "Orisa" means "those whose heads
were created more superior then others." Each of these deities are the
ministrers of God (Olodumare), and the word of Almighty God. They are
called Orisa (Eni ti ori sa da).
In the beginning, human beings did not have names for the days. It was
Obatala (arch divinity, God of Creativity) who went to Olodumare to obtain
weekdays for all the rest of Orisa. it was Orunmila who established the days,
hence one of the Odus recited:
It is Ifa who owns the fourth day that Orisa made on Earth
Obatala says:
it was only four days that Obatala brought from heaven to the world with the
401 deities. Obatala already distributed teh days among the other Orisa,
Ogun, Sango and ifa, while he picked a day for himself. The rest of orisa
therefore had to share days, e.g. The week day (Ose Ifa) is the same day of
Osun. Obatala shares his day with Egungun, Ancestor spirits, Iyami Aje, and
Also Esu..
Five days is the traditional calendar week of the Yoruba People. Not counting
the first day you have four days. Twenty nine days makes a month. that is
when the moon is full. The moon spends fifteen days on earth and fifteen
days in heaven.
Ojo Aje (Monday)- is the day on which money joined Orisa on earth and is
known as the day of money. Yoruba people use this day to start business,
and to discuss economic and social programs.
Ojo Isegun (Tuesday)- is the day of victory. This is the day all evil forces are
overpowered. It is a good day to start anything that leads to a better quality
of life.
Ojoru (Wednesday)- is the day problems entered the world. It is the day of
confusion.
Ojoba (Thursday) the day on which names of the days arrived. It is a day on
which Ancestors visit the family. This is why every important festival begins
on Thursday- Ojobo.
Ojo Oiku (Sunday)- Ojo Ariku otherwise know as Ojo Isinmi is the day of rest,
and the day Orunmila buried Imi, the mother of Esu Odara.
On this day the people of teh world requested immortality (aiku) from
Olodumare. Orunmila, a close confidant of Olodumare refused to make
propitiation and he was unable to bring immortality (aiku) for all inhabitants
of earth; hence people had to die. Fortunately, premature death can be
prevent by making sarifice and using Ifa medicine.
