amor4ce: There is an excellent journal paper about the Ogboni authored by Babatunde Lawal in which he translated "Eriwo Ya!" as "Lord of secrets, descend!". I know that "ri" means "to see or find" and remember that "ya" is used when refering to time of arrival or presence. Thus my my preferred translation of "eriwo ya" is "founder (or first one to see) of secrets (or mysteries), arrive (or make your presence known)!". In addition Orunmila is the first to see the secret of Odu, Oduduwa founded the Ogboni, Odu became Oduduwa, and Obatala married Oduduwa.
