Oke, mountain, or hill, is the god of Mountains, and is worshipped by those who live in mountainous or rocky country.
If neglected, he is apt to roll down huge masses of rock upon the habitations of those who have been forgetful of his wants, or to sweep them away by a landslip.
When any great mishap of this nature occurs, a human victim is offered up to turn away his anger.
The falling of boulders or detached pieces of rock is always considered the handiwork of Oke and a sign that something is required.
The emblem of Oke is a stone or fragment of rock. He is one of those who sprang from Yemaja.
At Abeokuta there is a rocky cavern in which Oke is worshipped.
It is popularly believed by the other tribes that the Egbas, when defeated in war, can retire into this cavern, which then hermetically seats itself till the danger is past.
