Orunmila  is recognized as a primordial  Irunmole  that was present both at the beginning of Creation and then again amongst them as a priest that taught an advanced form of spiritual knowledge and ethics, during visits to earth in physical form or through his disciples.  Orunmila is the spirit of wisdom among the Irunmole and the divinity of destiny and prophecy. He is "Igbakeji Olodumare" (second in command to  Olodumare ; often also playfully translated as "second calabash to God", since "igba" means "calabash") and "eleri ipin" (witness of fate). Orunmila is also referred to as Agbonniregun, the embodiment of knowledge and wisdom of  Ifá . Orunmila is not Ifá , but he is the one who leads the priesthood of Ifá and it was  Orunmila  who carried Ifá (the wisdom of Olodumare) to Earth. Priests of Ifá are called  babalawo  (elder of the confraternity) or  Iyanifa  (female Ifá priest). Orunmila is also known as Ela or Elaso
