Olodumare

Eledumare is the name given to one of the three manifestations of the Supreme God in the Yoruba pantheon. Eledumare is the Supreme Creator.[1] Olodumare carries the responsibility of coordinating the Universe, while Olofi is identified with Olofin Oduduwa 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).
