Oyeku signifies the transformative end that paves the way for new beginnings for those whom it appears for in Ifa Divination. Oyeku can be speaking about positivity and negativity at the same time.

Oyeku, known as the Mother of the Spirit of Death, derives from the phrase 'O yeye Iku' which translates to 'Spirit of the Mother of Death.'

This Odu embodies the essence of darkness, representing the total contraction of matter, akin to what physics describes as a black hole. 

In human terms, Oyeku can signify physical death; however, it more commonly denotes the conclusion of a cycle.
