	Johnson and Oyinade, Monotheism in Traditional Yoruba Religion
		Olorun is the sky god of the Yoruba, that is, he is deified firmament, or personal sky.
		Olorun in the Yoruba terminology refers to the Supreme Being and Eledaa refers to “He who controls rain” while Olodumare is "Replenisher of brooks".
		Far from Olorun being a distant conception to the people, the average Yoruba uses the name, often in proverbs, in prayers and wishes, in promises, in planning for the future, in attempts to clear himself of accusations, in reminding his opponent of his duty to speak the truth, and the like.

		OLORUN is not involved directly in human affairs but the spiritual force, which originates from HIM/HER/IT, provides the basic ESSENCE for all of Creation.
		Also, as is the case with the Sun, for OLORUN to come too close would result in the destruction of physical creation due to the power that is contained therein.
		OLORUN, ELEDA and OLODUMARE are three states of manifestation of that which is forever nameless, the “IT” from which the Supreme Diety OLORUN emerges.

		Olorun is the sky-god of the Yorubas, that is, he is the deified firmament, or personal sky, just as Nyankupon is to the Tshis, Nyonmo to the Gas, and Mawu to the Ewes.
		The name Olorun means "Owner of the Sky" (oni, one who possesses, orun, sky, firmament, cloud[1]), and the sky is believed to be a solid body, curving over the earth so as to cover it with a vaulted roof.
		But Olorun is merely a nature-god, the personally divine sky, and he only controls phenomena connected in the native mind with the roof of the world.

		He plays much the same role as do the Judeo-Christian and Islamic gods-- he is "the creator of all things, the almighty and all-knowing, the giver of life and breath, and the final judge of mankind", according to Geoffrey Parrinder-- and yet the Yoruba apparently ignore him in their day-to-day lives.
		A theory explains that perhaps Olorun developed through the influence of early Islamic or Christian missionaries, as a simulacrum of the gods of those religions.
		One legend has Olorun creating the world and then leaving Obatala and Odudua to finish up the details; other interpreters have considered Olorun and Obatala one and the same.
