Overview
Oyeku gobierna los finales, la profundidad ancestral, los enemigos ocultos y el renacimiento después de la oscuridad. No es una señal de miedo sino de precaución sagrada. Oyeku enseña que lo que está enterrado puede transformarse, y lo que parece retrasado aún puede ser bendecido mediante la paciencia y la propiciación.
