Esu, Esu Odara, Esu lanlu ogirioko.
Okunrin ori ita. A jo langa langa lalu. A rin lanja lanja lalu.
Ode ibi ija de mole. Ija ni otaru ba d'ele ife. To fi de omo won.
Oro Esu to to to akoni. Ao fi ida re lale.
Esu ma se mi o. Esu ma se mi o. Esu ma se mi o.
Omo elomiran ni ko lo se. Pa ado asubi da. No ado asure si wa.
Ase.

obviously, i’ve been thinking of the great mother…
the first deity, pillar of the ancient world. respected and revered long before any conception of a vengeful, masculine god…the very definition of a loving mother, full of abundance and joy.
dark like earth.
moist like riverbeds.
she brought you in, and she takes you out.
stretching, expanding across space and time.
the japanese sun.
the kemetian sky.
kali’s bloodied hands.
mary’s melancholy smile.
the Her that birthed Him.
God/dess.
GodIs.
