Ìkú, the divine force of death and transformation, governs the transition between worlds. Far from being a force of destruction, Ìkú is the guardian of order, ensuring that all things in life follow their destined course. As the gatekeeper between the physical and ancestral realms, Ìkú reminds us that death is not an end but a continuation of existence in another form.
Through the 16 Odù Méjì, Ìkú reveals the necessity of endings, the wisdom of honoring transitions, and the inevitability of fate. In Ogbé Méjì, he teaches that embracing change is the key to renewal, while in Oyèkú Méjì, he reveals death as the bridge to the ancestral realm. In Irosùn Méjì, he strengthens the link between the living and their ancestors, ensuring that those who honor their past will walk with spiritual protection. Ìkú’s lesson is clear: those who accept the cycles of life, respect ancestral wisdom, and live with purpose will transition with honor, leaving behind a lasting legacy.
