Edo cosmology
System of oracle "Ise" soothsaying.
In Benin Cosmology
- Circle ○ represents life
- The parallel "-" in the cycle represents a peace journey on earth, and a double "=" represents a to and frow peaceful rebirth journey on earth.
- The circle "○" with the crossroad sign "+" represents Adabi the force of the crossroad, as the cross road itself in Benin cosmology is equally venerated as the point where spirit congregate, this explains the Benins act of feeding the crossroad "Izobo" as it's a point were supernatural force congregate.

Coral beads were not made in ife either. It was a form of trade used by the British to trade with the Benin people. The edo people used and intertwined it with their okuku hairdo.
.
Also, the owo maiden attire was also influenced by the edo expanding empire, not just their maiden attire, but the people of owo has huge traits of Benin influence.
.
Coral beads are gotten from the Mediterranean Sea, except just like Noah's ark, the Mediterranean Sea is also located in ife.

@LaFlareiscrazy Our Osún is literally different from yoruba Oshun.
In mode of worship
In words for it
Their nature
The food they eat
Their reverence
Historians from the 80s and 90s examined both and draw a parallel our Osún is the opposite of yoruba oshun.

An Òbó Osún specialist at a palace ritual, as osun priests, is crucial to the success of these rituals.
Ohén Osagiede shrine to Osun, the god of herb, medicine and magic, a typical osun shrine in Benin Kingdom, is devoid of art representation of osun divinity.
In Benin worship, Osun takes the form of a large tree deep in the forest, surrounded by large mud pot filled with rainwater and leaves, the stuff of medicine.
As the patron god of doctors, osun is considered a peaceful and calm god, but "when a fire starts from Osun shrine, there's no remedies to put it off." As Osun is also seen as a crucial divinity of war, represented in edo worship with color red, the last mistake an individual would make is to anger the god of medicine, charm and magic that when he's angry all other gods dare not intervene.
Osun also protects against enemies at war. The osun staff, "long staff topped with imagery of vultures and chameleon," are a reminder that worshipers of Osun defys death. The praise name of this staff is Òsùn ní gió gió (boiling hot herbal medicine). It's believed that the staff itself is poisonous to touch.
The last time such Òsún n'gió gió staff was used in public in Benin Kingdom was in 1947 by the Otu-Edo solidarity group against the Ogboni confraternity that threatened the Oba's authority.

See Wetin this one post as an early user of Okuku in Owo
Where as na beaded crown nor be Okuku be that
All because they want to build a united Yoruba Nation, on lies?

@Edocentric_ Owó has its own distinct Okuku, and it’s well known that Bini and Owó influence each other. You can’t say they’re stealing it or that Yoruba are trying to steal it. Here is a photo of the Olowo of Owó’s queen in the 1950s wearing Okuku.

The first frame na traditional attire from Ile-Ife, while the second frame shows an Edo (Benin) woman adorned in her cultural hairstyle. Two distinct cultures and people.

Fun fact: both are of Yoruba origin. What we know as Edo bridal attire today is classic Ife empire women attire. It is now Edo bridal attire cos Ife influenced Benin heavily and till today, Benin runs on Ife civilization.
