Igbo African Sun God: Utu Udele Igwe na oRA Ugbo by Sirius Ugo Art

Utu Udene Igwe is the sacred vulture that represents the penetrative power of the sun in the sky. Utu is one of the three major forces of nature that were well venerated in Lejja, Nsukka, Igboland. The remaining two are Oshuru and Ada Ada. Oshuru is Saturn, which is the old sun, Ada Ada is Venus (mother of love), while Utu Udele Igwe is the Sun. In this Sirius Ugo Art, Udele Igwe is seen riding his Sun Boat (Ora Ugbo / Ugbo Enu / Ugbo Igwe) in deep space. Creating magical scenes all over the universe. The Sumerian sun God Utu / Shamash is an embodiment of Utu Udene Igwe in Igbo Spirituality. Igbo ancestors (Ndi Ushi) said that the reason why Vultures are bald is because they fly too close to the sun. Utu Udele Igwe also represents sight beyond sight, purity and ultra consiouness.
