Oluorogbo is the Orisa that Olodumare gave the responsibility of writing and recording the acts and signs of both Orisa and man. It was Oluorogbo that showed Orunmila the proper positioning of the IKIN IFA and the chronological order of the Orisa according to their creation by Olodumare.
He is the Orisa of numbers and signs. The patterns inside the shrines can only be seen by Babalawos and initiated people because it holds the secret of what is now widely known as hieroglyphs, the chronological sequence of history, and events of Ile-Ife are held in the belly of this shrine.
