When the world was inhabited only by the Orishas and men created by Obbatalá, these traveling from Heaven to Earth without any hindrance. One day a couple came to the palace of Olofin to ask the ashe of procreation, after much thought the maker nodded but on condition that the child does not extend beyond the borders of Layé, Earth. The couple agreed.

Months later the baby was born, which grew under the supervision of parents who tolerated all his misbehavior. One day secretly walked across the field and came to the area of Orun, Heaven. He mocked the Orishas, did all sorts of mischief, and lacked respect for those who scolded. Olofin watching what was happening, took his stick and threw it so hard Orun Layé was separated from the atmosphere that stretched between the two. Since that day, the men lost the ability to upload to the palace of the Creator.
