Head Orixá carrying another Orixá

The candomblé yalorixá that used to read the buzios for me once told me my head Orixá was carrying with him another Orixá, that would be a higher octave of the lower in the context of my head. For instance, supposing my head Orixá is Ogun, he would be carrying with him Xangô, that would be a higher expression of Ogun himself, but in a way that would ressemble Xangô (being of high authority and lover of justice for instance).

I was looking around for more info on this, but unfortunetelly couldnt find much. Seems like this is not even a standart concept amongst candomblé practioners.

Is anyone familiar with this concept in the scope of any ATR's?
