Oma / Iyi Oma / Nwanyi Mara Mma by Sirius Ugo Art

Oma is the ancient Igbo concept of purity, truth, equilibrium, order, harmony, love, and motherhood.

Chukwu (Atu Ofu / Aka Ofu / Ofu) created Oma to manifest balance, order and harmony in a universe that was birthed out of chaos. Thus she was identified as the first Igbo woman and the first woman to ever walk the Earth. To practice Odinana is to practice everything that OMA represents. Her opposition is Ọjọọ, which is Ofu Ogheri na Ose Aka, which is all the things that are evil, ignorance, and degenerating.

As Ma'at is the ancient Kemet embodiment of Oma, the ancient Kemet people never venerated Isfet (evil), just like the ancient Igbo people never venerated Ihe Ọjọọ (evil things). Once you step out of all that is OMA, you are no longer practicing ODINALA.

Onye Odinana bu onye na eche IHE OMA, onye na eme IHE OMA, onye na ekwu IHE OMA, and onye na akpa agwa OMA. The world is full of chaos, and the only way we make it easy for ourselves is through OMA. The only way to make life better and easy is by thinking and doing IHE OMA.

Oma is the supreme veneration of the natural laws of the universe. Natural law is as simple as live and let live.

Ekene Diri Chukwu for giving us OMA.

OMA, Nnenwanyi Nwelu Awolo Ijiliji Onwa. Omelu Nwata Mgbe Uwa Juru Ya - The ancient Igbo lake of the beginning. The literal meaning of OMA mbala/mbara is the primordial square of Oma, the first Igbo woman, and the moon mother of Igbo people. Hailed as Oma Muru Igbo - the omnibenevolent spirit mother that gave birth to Igbo. The primordial square of the celestial waters of the Moon. Her sacred symbol is the square, which is the shape of many pyramids found all over the world. Oma is also a representation of the Igbo manifestation of purity and righteousness.

OMA NNECHUKWU, The Mother Of All Life Source. OMA NWANYI MARA MMA, The Beautiful Woman. NNE NZU / NZU NNECHUKWU, The Mother Of The Calabash Chalk, Which Represents Purity. OMA Is As White As The Moon Because She Represents The Pureness In All Things. Moon And Water ONWA NA IYI. Oma is part of Uwa Achiko Teghete Mmuo, which are the nine groups of energy forces governing our universe.
