DESCRIPTION OF THE ODDUN

OYEKUN MEYI is the oldest of all signs, for it was born before them, it is the
SURVIVOR

IT MEANS 'WE ARE COMPOSED OF LIFE AND DEATH.'
OYEKUN MEYI IS A FEMININE ODDUN. SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF TWO WOMEN: OYANTARO AND OMILOSHE,

THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE WHERE YOU LIVE, WHO HAVE HEADACHES (STOMACH ACHES). ONE

SANTO, HE HAS A CLOTHING THAT HE WILL HAVE TO MAKE A REQUEST WITH, TO TAKE IT OFF.
THE DEATH OF
ON TOP. THANK SHANGO. YOU WERE GIVEN A FRINGED BLANKET.
YOU ARE THREE
BROTHERS AND A FRIEND; DON'T WEAR STRIPED CLOTHES,
THAT FRIEND DRESSES JUST LIKE YOU, DON'T KEEP DRESSING ALIKE, BECAUSE THE
DEATH IS HERE
BEHIND HIS FRIEND AND IT CAN CONFUSE HIM. BE CAREFUL WITH A CHILD THAT IS THERE
IN YOUR ILE, NO
YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE SETBACKS.
LISTEN TO THE ADVICE THEY GIVE YOU, BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION.
IT HAS A
DISGUST AND TO NOT LOSE ITS VALIDITY, YOU ARE ALWAYS OWING THE ILE AND
IN THAT ISLAND
THAT YOU LIVE WITH LEAKS, MOVE. THERE IS A PERSON WHO HAS SAINTS AND TO
SIDE OF YOUR ILE
THERE IS A PERSON WHO IS SICK, AND IF THEY DO NOT PRAY, THEY COULD DIE.
DISGUST
YOU WANTED TO BE GIVEN A SATISFACTION. YOU HAVE TO DO
PRAYER WITH THE CLOTH
WHAT THEY GAVE OR THE DRESS, TO MAKE DEATH DISTANT, BECAUSE
SHANGO DOES NOT WANT THAT
YOU DIE.

RELATION OF STORIES OR PATAKINES OF OYEKUN MEYI

-----------------------------------------------

1.- THE TOOL SELLER.

PATAKIN:
ON THIS PATH THERE WAS A MAN WHO WAS THE SON OF SHANGO AND DEDICATED HIMSELF TO
MANUFACTURING PARTS OF
SAINT. THIS SON OF SHANGO WAS VERY FUNNY AND WAS ALWAYS AT A PARTY IN
FESTIVAL, FOR WHICH
RAZON WAS VERY INFORMAL WITH THOSE HE SENT TO DO THE WORK. THE
SANTOS WERE OLOKUN,
DADA AND ABANARI. PEOPLE GAVE THEM THE MONEY IN ADVANCE BECAUSE THEY HAD
TRUST, SINCE THE
HE WAS A TRUE MASTER AT MAKING TOOLS. HE LIVED CONFIDENTLY AND THE
Jobs were leaving him
ACCUMULATING AND WHEN HE/SHE STARTED WORKING TO COMPLY WITH WHAT HE/SHE HAD
I caught the delayed one
NIGHT WORKING AND WITHOUT HAVING FINISHED, I PICKED UP AND WENT TO THE PARTIES
RETURNING HOME TO
DAWN, WHERE HE LAID DOWN TO SLEEP.

One day the word spread through the town, until it reached their ears.
COMPLAINTS ABOUT YOUR
INFORMALITY, SO HE DECIDED TO BRING A TRAINEE TO HELP HIM. THE PEOPLE
HE/SHE CONTINUED COMPLAINING.
One day a person came to pick up a fan which had a fixed date, but the
TOOLS NO
THEY WERE FINISHED, THE APPRENTICE RECEIVED THE MESSAGES, BUT AT THE SAME TIME HE RECEIVED
Scoldings of each
CLIENT WHERE THE APPRENTICE COULD NOT WAKE UP THE SON OF SHANGO.
THE DAY ARRIVED WHEN THE APPRENTICE GOT TIRED OF THE FIGHT WITH PEOPLE BECAUSE OF
I LOVE YOU, AND HE/SHE TOLD YOU TO

THIS ONE WHO WAS NO LONGER WILLING TO ENDURE THE REPRIMANDS, THEN THE TEACHER
FAREWELL.
THE APPRENTICE LEFT AND SET UP A TOOL BUSINESS WITHOUT BEING A WORKER.
Business went well;
WHILE THE SON OF SHANGO STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS BECAUSE PEOPLE
Dissatisfied, don't you?
HE WAS MADE TO DO THE WORK. THIS SICK PERSON WENT TO SEE ORUNMILA, SINCE HE
I THOUGHT THAT WHAT
WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO HIM WAS BECAUSE THE APPRENTICE WAS DOING WITCHCRAFT. ORUNMILA
I examined him and told him
THAT EVERYTHING THAT WAS HAPPENING TO HIM WAS DUE TO THE BAD PROPAGANDA THAT HE
HAD MADE, UNITED
To the bad tongues and the evil eyes upon him, what did Ebbo do to make it so?
I could feel
GOOD HEALTH, BUT NOT FOR THRIVING IN THE SANTO TOOL BUSINESS.

2.- THE REASON OYEKUN TAKES CARE OF THE NIGHT.

-------------------------------------

PATAKIN:

ON THIS PATH WHEN ORAGUN CREATED THE WORLD, IN DARKNESS HE CALLED OYEKUN AND
HE SAID TO YOU: 'I AM GOING TO YOU'

GIVE CLARITY, YOU WILL OPEN THE DOORS OF LIGHT AND LEAVE THEM OPEN FOR
MAY THE LIGHT REACH
ALL THE CREATURES OF THE WORLD. I RECOMMEND TO OYEKUN NEVER TO TAKE.
DRINKS AND HE/SHE DID IT
GUARDIAN OF LIGHT AND THE CLARITY OF DAY.
HE WAS BUSY WITH HIS BROTHER EJIOGBE, ONE DAY THEY ORGANIZED A
FEAST TO CELEBRATE
THAT OLOFIN WAS GOING TO GIVE ABSOLUTE POWER TO OYEKUN.

23
OYEKUN INVITES EVERYONE TO DRINK, INCLUDING TAKING UNTIL GETTING DRUNK, HE PUT ON HIS
HAT UNTIL
EARS AND HE FELL ASLEEP. EJIOGBE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO WHERE OLOFIN IS
BY MEANS OF THAT
THIS ONE DID NOT SEE WELL, HE BECAME THE OWNER OF ABSOLUTE POWER, LEAVING OYEKUN BEHIND.
DEJADEZ AND FORGETTING OF
THE WARNINGS REDUCED TO BE A SERVANT OF EJIOGBE.

One day Ejiogbe says to Olofin: 'Oyekun is my brother, because of

THE OFFENSE COMMITTED HAS REDUCED HIM TO A SERVANT, COULD YOU GIVE HIM A
OCCUPATION?” OLOFINLE SAID: SINCE YOU ARE THE GUARDIAN OF THE DAY
IT WILL BE THE NIGHT, THAT'S WHY FROM THAT DAY OYEKUN COMMANDS THE NIGHT.

3.- WHERE TO START FEEDING EGGUN AND IKU.

EBBO: A GOAT, A JICARA, LOVE IT AND EPO.
PATAKIN:
MERCADO TO HIS LITTLE DAUGHTER ALEUBA WITH THE MISSION OF BUYING HER A FISH. AT
ARRIVE, IN EVERYTHING
AT THE MARKET THERE WAS ONLY ONE FISH AND IN FRONT OF THE SELLER THERE WAS ONE
OLD WOMAN, WHO WAS
THE MOTHER OF KUKETE (DEATH), WHICH HER DAUGHTER HAD SENT TO THE
MARKET FOR WHAT
BUY A FISH.

ALEUBA SNATCHED THE FISH THAT THE OLD WOMAN HAD BOUGHT FROM HER HANDS AND
IN A REBELLIOUS WAY
I escaped with him and went to see his father and told him what I had done to.
TO SATISFY HIS MOTHER.
MALCRIADA: IFA said, today you have broken my house, because you have argued with the
Mother of Death.
THEN ORUNMILA MADE OSODE AND CAME OUT OYEKUN MEYI, MARKING THE EBBO
INDICATED, THEN THE
I decapitate the goat, pouring blood into the cup, and I throw in some hair.
RIPPED FROM THE ANIMAL. THE
GOAT IS COOKED AND THE PASTE OF AMALA AND EPO IS PREPARED. I MIX THE PASTE AND A LITTLE
OF THE MEAT
Cooked with blood, and immediately placed the gourd in front of her door.
KUKETE CAME TO AVENGE, BINDING ORUNMILA, THE INSULT MADE TO HIS MOTHER,
BUT THE ASPECT OF
THE CONTENT OF THE BOWL HE LIKED AND ATE AVIDLY, GORGING HIMSELF, AND ONCE FULL HE
Alejo forgetting himself
OF HIS VENGEANCE.

4.- EFE THE MANATEE.

PATAKIN:
IN THIS PATH IN THE RIVER LIVED A GREAT ANIMAL WHICH HAD HALF A BODY OF
MAN AND A HALF
FISH BODY, WHICH WAS KNOWN AS EFE.
WHEN PEOPLE FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS, THEY WERE TERRIFIED AND WENT TO LOOK AT EACH OTHER WITH
ORUNMILA AND THEY CAME OUT
THE ODDUN OYEKUN MEYI, WHERE ORUNMILA TOLD HIM THAT IFA SAID THAT TO CAPTURE
THAT GHOST
We had to wait for him to rise from the bottom of the sea to the surface to eat.
HERB, ALSO
THAT THEN TO THEIR OFA (HARPOONS) THEY HAD TO TIE AN OZAIN OR MAGIC TO
TO BE ABLE TO CAPTURE IT.

LET HIS MEAT BE EATEN BUT HIS BONES WILL ONLY BE USED AS OBJECTS OF
WORSHIP OF
OLOKUN; THAT THIS WAS A MAN WHO HAD BEEN BORN IN ENJILLE BUT HAD
SIDO KING OF LEON,
WHERE DID HIS CHILDREN LIVE WHO WAS THE OWNER OF AKARE AND SONUGAGGA AND WHO WAS THE SAME
OLOKUN, WELL
HE WAS THE OWNER OF THE GUELEDDI WHO THE MANDIGAS CALLED MA AND THE HAUSSU
ADJON.ASI THEY DID IT
THE AGUADO AND PREPARED THE ADE OF OLOKUN.

SUYERE: FATHER, I LAY TO REST THE BODY OF THE DEAD.

PATTERN:
ON THIS PATH OSHEIWOMO WAS THE SON OF A GREAT DECEASED BABALAWO, WHO WAS
CHIEF OF THE OGBONI.
THIS SON DECIDES THAT WHEN THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH WOULD ARRIVE
FATHER DOING THEM
FUNERAL CEREMONIES THAT SHOULD BE OFFERED TO THE DECEASED EGUNS. FOR THAT, THE
WENT TO LOOK AT HERSELF

WITH THE GREAT ORUNMILA, WHO SAW THIS IFA.

IN THE CONVERSATION HE SAID: “ARE YOU THINKING OF HOLDING THE FUNERAL HONORS FOR THE SPIRIT
FROM YOUR FATHER, BUT
AS HE WAS ANEGO OGBONI YOU HAVE TO SACRIFICE 16 ABO, STARTING WITH 16
DAYS BEFORE THE
ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH, GIVING A SPIRIT ONE FOR EACH DAY." OSHEIWOMO
HE SAID: 'WHAT AM I GOING TO
DOING THAT, THE OWO MY FATHER LEFT ME IS FOR ME, NOT TO SPEND IT ON THAT, WHAT
IT IS BELIEVED
ORUNMILA. AND HE DID NOT DO THE EBBO.

THE DESIGNATED ANNIVERSARY DAY HAS ARRIVED, STARTING WITH THE DANCE OF THE MASKS OF
THE EGUNS. THE BABARE
DE OSHEIWOMO MOUNT IN AN EGUNGUN AND DANCED TO THE SOUND OF THE DRUM AND IT SHONE OVER
THE SUSTAINED BOARD
FOR TWO CASSAVA WOOD POSTS, ONE OF THEM WAS COVERED BY A
STRANGE BRANCH OF
MARIWO.
THE BABARE OF OSHEIWOMO ON THE HEAD OF THE EGUNGUN WHEN COMING DOWN FROM THE STAGE AND PASSING
NEAR THE COLUMN
WHAT HAD THE ARIWO BRANCH GOT TANGLED IN IT THE CLOTH WITH WHICH SHE COVERED HER
HEAD.

DESPITE HIS EFFORTS, HE COULD NOT FREE HIMSELF; HE REMAINED HELD, JUMPING,
I was playing and doing everything
LUCK OF EFFORTS AND COULD NOT BREAK FREE AND MANY WEBS FELL UPON HIM.

OSHEIWOMO, UPON SEEING THIS, GRABS A MACHETE AND CUTS THE BRANCH THAT WAS PRESSING HIM
SLOWLY THE
SPIDERS FALL ON THE KGUAGUA THAT EMBODIED HIS BABARE; THEN
OSHEIWOMO RISES AND
HE RETURNS TO PLAY HIS ILE BUT BABARE'S EGUNGUN TAKES HIM BY THE ARM AND SAYS:
My son, you have seen
DEATH, THAT BRANCH YOU CUT WAS ONLY ONE
METAMORPHOSIS THAT ASHIKUELU EXECUTED TO AVENGE IFA FOR YOUR LACK OF RESPECT
AND I BEFORE SEEING YOU
HUMILIATED, I PREFER THAT YOU COME WITH ME TO THE KINGDOM OF THE EGUNGUN, WHERE OBBA
THIS IS THE PATH TO THE SPIRITUALITY

AND THE DIVINER WAS BABA OYEKUN MEYI.

THE BABARE EGUNGUN WAS SINGING AS THEY TOOK HIM AWAY:

FATHER, THE SPIRIT OF THE DEAD HAS COME TO TAKE YOU
YOU HAVE TO GO WITH HIM.

NOTE: THIS IS WHERE OYEKUN MEYI IS THE BABALAWO OF THE LAND OF

THE EGUNGUN.

NOTE: BEFORE STARTING THE EBBO, THE JICARA IS WRITTEN INSIDE THE SIGN.
OYEKUN, THIS IS
WITH EFUN, OSUN, AND BLOOD OF ALL ANIMALS, EYERBALE IS GIVEN TO THE EBBO
CALLING
SHANGO, AND OLOFIN. ONE DOES NOT QUESTION DESTINY; IT ALWAYS GOES TO A PALM TREE.

PATAKIN:
OLOFIN had been told that in the land of AGBA NIYERUN there was an AWO who
His name was Ogba
AKUELELE WHO WAS THE SON OF SHANGO. ONE DAY OLOFIN ARRIVED IN THAT LAND AND UPON ARRIVING HE
I found everything
ON THE CONTRARY OF WHAT THEY HAD TOLD HIM SINCE THE PEOPLE OF THAT PLACE ONLY
UNDERSTAND BY SIGNS,
THEY SPOKE VERY BADLY AND WROTE ON THE GROUND, BUT THAT WRITING WAS NO GOOD TO HIM.
TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER NEITHER

COMMUNICATE BECAUSE WHEN THE WIND BLOWED IT CARRIED AWAY THE WRITING.
OLOFIN WHO WAS LOOKING FOR A GREAT SECRET WAS VERY DISPLEASED BY WHAT
I HAD SEEN IN THE
LAND OF ABBA NIYERUN AND HE LEFT FROM THERE, SINGING ALONG THE WAY:
BABA TAKE ME TO THE PLACE OF THE CHILD OF YARE AFITEKU YAYENI
OLOFIN OFITEKU

OLOFIN arrived on Earth and found that the people

THOSE WHO LIVED THERE WERE EGUNS, THEY HAD THE HABIT OF MAKING THEIR
WRITING ON THE STONES, BUT THE WATERS CAME AND WASHED THEM AWAY.
OLOFIN LEFT DISGUSTED AND WENT HOME ALWAYS WITH HIM
THOUGHT THAT ONE DAY I WOULD FIND A WAY FOR IT TO EXIST
GREAT WRITING THAT ALLOWED FOR CONSECRATIONS AND THAT HUMANS
They learned to write in the world so that wills could exist.
One day Olofin at twelve o'clock in the afternoon took an eye, cleaned it and Obori, then he...
I went to sleep
BUT VERY SAD AND WORRIED BECAUSE IN THAT WORLD THE SCRIPTURES DID NOT EXIST
NOT EVEN THE TESTAMENTS
AND THERE WAS NO CONFIRMATION FROM ADA. OLOFIN BEGAN TO DREAM THAT HE HAD TO GO TO THE
Tierra Bowa Oyekun where perhaps he could find what he was looking for
LOOKING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE
THE FOUNDATIONS OF IFA AND OF EVERYTHING. THE NEXT DAY OLOFIN WENT OUT WALKING TO
A LAND BUT
SUSPICIOUS OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING, HE CARRIED THE AWO MEDILOGUN SO THAT HE
WILL ACCOMPANY, BY
THE PATH WAS RINGING WITH BELLS AND OLOFIN WAS PRAYING THE FOLLOWING
SUYERE

THE SPIRIT OF THE SPIRIT IS THE SPIRIT OF LIFE

THE REASON FOR THIS LIFE IS TO REACH HEAVEN.

SHANGO WHO WAS ON EARTH BOWA OYEKUN HEARD OLOFIN AND IMMEDIATELY
I started to play
ASHERE AND I PREPARE A JICARA WITH EFUN AND ANOTHER WITH OSUN; WHEN OLOFIN ARRIVED
SHANGO THE GOD
MOFORIBALE ASKS HIM: 'MY FATHER, TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT?', OLOFIN TO HIM
CONTEXT: IT
WHAT I WANT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND EITHER ON THE WAY OR IN THE WORLD;
SHANGO SAID: STAY HERE TO SLEEP TONIGHT BECAUSE TOMORROW YOU WILL
IT WILL HAVE EVERYTHING. WHEN OLOFIN CAME DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE REACHING THE LAND
BOWA OYEKUN, LE
I ORDER AWO MEDILOGUN TO COME WITH THE ONE WHO HID AMONG THE PALMS
THAT THERE WAS
SO THAT SHANGO DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE WAS COMING
ACCOMPANYING HIM.
OLOFIN, ACCESSING SHANGO'S REQUEST, STAYED TO SLEEP THERE THAT NIGHT.
IN THE EARLY MORNING
SHANGO GOT UP AND FROM A LYING PALM THAT HE HAD HE TOOK A PIECE OF
TABLE AND HID IT
IN THE HOUSE. WHEN OLOFIN AWOKE AT 4:00 A.M., SHANGO PRESENTED HIMSELF AND
BEFORE THE Y

26
HE SAID: HERE YOU HAVE ONE OF THE THINGS YOU NEED FOR THE FOUNDATION AND IN
THIS OTHER HAND
I WILL BRING THE REST THAT YOU NEED BUT FIRST I WILL CONSECRATE TO AKUELELE AND
TOGETHER OLOFIN AND
SHANGO WAS CONSECRATED.

EVERYTHING SHANGO WAS DOING HAD OLOFIN VERY WORRIED AS WELL

VERY EXCITED.
THIS BABA OLOFIN, SAID SHANGO, WILL SERVE FOR THE GREAT CONSECRATIONS OF A
ATEFA AND WITHOUT THIS YOU.
YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO. THIS IS A GREAT SECRET THAT YOU WILL HAVE HIDDEN;
OLOFIN was listening
Everything that Shango told him, but despite that he was not happy. Then
SHANGO STARTED TO
CALL:

FATHER ORDERS IFA TO BRING IFA ORDERS THE DEITY TO BRING SHANGO
THE SPIRIT OF THE GODS OF DIVINATION IS TRUE.

SHANGO is on his knees saying of OLOFIN holding in his hand a

MARIWO STICK AND
HE TOLD OLOFIN: YOU WILL NOW VERIFY THE REASON WHY YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE EVERYTHING THAT
NEEDS AND THIS
WHAT I AM GOING TO WRITE HERE WILL HAVE THE MEANING OF YOURSELF. SHANGO ACT
THEN HE DID 16
CROSSES ALONG AND ADDED: NOW I AM GOING TO DO THE SACRED SCRIPTURE AND
I STARTED TO ATEFAR AND EACH
I would paint an odd one inside one of the crosses that there was.
MADE WITH
PRIORITY AND AS I WAS CALLING OUT EACH ODDUN, AN ODDUN WAS COMING OUT
FROM EACH PALM AND
SHANGO GAVE HIM THE NAME UNTIL THE FIRST 16 CAME OUT.

THIS IS HOW WRITING BEGAN IN THE WORLD WITH FIRMNESS AND SECURITY FOR
THE GOOD AND THE
MANO. OLOFIN GAVE THE BLESSING TO SHANGO AND SAID YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO
BE WITH ME AND
SHANGO THEN ADDED: I WANT YOU TO GRANT ME AN [...] FOR CONFIRMATIONS.
WHAT AND IS IT
NEXT, AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ATENA HE WROTE TO THE RIGHT OSHE TURA IN
THE LEFT TO
AFTER WRITING OKANA, THE LEFT SIDE WILL BE PAINTED AND I STARTED PAINTING THE
STICKS WITH OSUN, LIKE THIS
LIKE IN THE CENTER OF THE CERITOS. THEN OLOFIN ASKED HIM WHAT HE WANTED TO SAY
THOSE, AND THIS ONE SAID FOR US IT WILL BE A SECRET BUT FOR HUMANS IN
GENERAL MEANS
THAT THE FIRST INK WAS PUPA; OLOFIN ANSWERED HIM THIS IS GOOD, THEN SHANGO LIGOS.
THE FUN WITH THE OSUN
AND WHEN HE GAVE EYERBALE IT BEGAN TO TURN BLACK. HERE THE BLACK INK WAS BORN.
OLOFIN AÑADIO: THIS INK
IT WILL BE MORE CORRECT FOR HUMAN BEINGS, THE OTHER WILL BE FOR US.

NOTE: ALL THE AWO WITH THIS SIGN IS A PERSON SPEAKS VERY FAST AND
OFTEN ONE IS GIVEN
EMBELLISH THE WORD.
7.- THE OBEDIENT ONES WERE SAVED.

THIS,
EBBO: THIS IS MY CHICKEN, THIS IS MY GOAT, THIS IS MY DELICIOUS MEAT, MACHETE
DRUMS MEYI, GOOD MEYI, OIL MEYI, FISH, $12.60.
PATAKIN:
ORUNMILA TOLD THE TREES TO MAKE EBBO FOR A BAD THING
WHAT WAS COMING. MOST OF THE TREES DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO HIM, ONLY
THE JOB, THE PACIFIC SEA AND THE CYPRESS, OBEYED AND DID THE EBBO.
A short time later, a rainstorm occurred and uprooted the
TREES; ALL THOSE WHO PERFORMED THE EBBO WERE SAVED.

8.- WHEN THE YOUNG WANTED TO KNOW MORE THAN THE
MASTERS.

PATAKIN.
ONCE UPON A TIME, THE BOYS WORKED WITH THE OLD MEN IN CONSTRUCTION.
THE ILE, UNTIL
ONE DAY CAME WHEN THE BOYS BELIEVED THEY ALREADY KNEW ENOUGH AND HOW
THEY EARNED LITTLE MONEY,
THEY DECIDED TO SEPARATE AND DO THE WORK ON THEIR OWN; THEY STARTED TO CARRY OUT
MORE JOBS
CHEAP. BUT IT HAPPENED THAT WHEN IT RAINED, THE WORKS CAME CRUMBLING DOWN; THEY WERE
AS MANY AS
PROTESTS THAT REACHED THE EARS OF OLOFIN, WHERE HE CALLED SOME AND TO
OTHERS. OLOFIN ORDERED THAT
EACH ONE WILL MAKE A ILE, LEAVING THE BOYS IN A BAD STATE. OLOFIN ASKED A
THE OLD ONES IN WHICH
THIS IS IT, AND THEY ANSWERED HIM THAT THE BOYS WERE PUTTING ALL THE TILES
FACE UP IN
INSTEAD OF DOING IT, ONE MOUTH DOWN AND ANOTHER UP, TO FORM THE CHANNEL. FROM
THEN THE ORUBO
(OLD) ARE THE ONES WHO AUTHORIZE THE BOYS AS WORKERS.

9.- THE BROTHERS.

REZO: THIS IS A GREAT THING FATHER OYEDI HAS DONE FOR ALL THE PEOPLE OF OYO
OKUDA.
SUYERE: 'THAT FATHER FOCHO, MAY HE BE BLESSED FOR THE REASONS OF THE ABORENSE BOBOIKU PAKOLEPAATORI.'

ATTACKING:
EYIDE AND BAREKOKO WERE TWO BROTHERS; BAREKOKO WAS THE YOUNGEST AND BROUGHT TO THE
HOUSE OF YOU
BROTHER, A WOMAN WHO WAS A LADY, WITH WHOM HE WAS GOING TO MARRY, BUT HE NEEDED
MONEY AND FOR THIS
I take her there, having her there for six or eight months while I fix everything.
WHEN HE WENT TO PICK HER UP, EYIDE TOLD HIM THAT SHE DID NOT WANT TO MARRY HIM.
BAREKOKO DID NOT SETTLE
WITH WHAT HIS BROTHER AND HIS GIRLFRIEND TOLD HIM; HE WENT TO THE ILE OF ORUNMILA SO THAT HE
CLEAR THE MYSTERY
AND KNOWING WHAT I HAD TO DO.

ORUNMILA saw this IFA and told EBBO EYEILE, he gave them to SHANGO. Shortly after
THERE WAS A FIRE
AT EYIDE'S HOUSE AND THE ONE WHO WAS BAREKOKO'S GIRLFRIEND HAD TO FLEE WITH
A CHILD WHO
I had given birth to Eyide, with whom I had a difficult relationship with the girl, and I
I WAS HIDING
TODO. BUT SHANGO DISCOVERED THE MYSTERY AND BAREKOKO FOUND OUT EVERYTHING AND GOT MARRIED
WITH ANOTHER.

Shortly after, he went to the woman with the child and had to go to the feet of
BAREKOKO BECAUSE IT WAS SEEN
VERY BAD.

NOTE: THIS PART IS TAKEN ACCORDING TO HOW THE IFA IS SPEAKING; IF OSORBO COMES
BE A TRAP
WITH AN OBINI OR WITH ANYTHING ELSE. IF IT COMES FORE IT TURNS TO DREAM AND BE
IT RETURNS GOOD
EVERYTHING WITH OSORBO. IT INDICATES BETRAYALS, EPIDEMICS.

ONE MUST OFFER AGBO TO SHANGO AND OLOKUN. THE SUYERE REPEATS FOR 9 DAYS.

WHAT HAD TO BE DONE TO MAKE THE FISH KNOWN IN THE WORLD TO SAVE
HUMANITY.

PATAKIN:
ON THIS ROAD, HUMANITY WAS FACING GREAT PROBLEMS AND WORKS
IN THE WORLD; NO
They had no health or food, tuberculosis was wreaking havoc on the population as well as on their
SEE IT
GASTROENTERITIS AND ALL TYPES OF INTESTINAL DEFICIENCIES DID NOT LEAVE
TO PROGRESS TO THE OMO
TITUN AND OMOKEKE; THE BONES HAD NO STRENGTH AND HUMAN BEINGS LIVED IN
THIS TIME
GATHERED NEAR BODIES OF WATER, BOTH FRESH AND SALT AS
GREAT MONSTERS
THEY FLOODED THE LANDS AND MADE LIFE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE FIRST INHABITANTS.

FINALLY, HUMAN BEINGS SUFFERED A LOT SINCE ALL THEIR PROBLEMS WERE BECAUSE OF
THE SCARCITY OF A
FOOD THAT IS SUFFICIENTLY NUTRITIOUS TO SUSTAIN THE NEEDS
OF HUMANS.
THESE WHO WERE LED AT THAT TIME BY THE IMOLES WHO LATER PASSED TO
BE ORISHAS,
They began to plead with him, directed by these immortals to Olofin to have
CLEMENCY OF
SUS
CHILDREN.

SHANGO HAD THE VIRTUE OF BEING HEARD IN HIS PLEAS BY OLOFIN, AND HE
HE SAID THAT TO HIM

OFFERED TO HUMANITY A FOOD THAT WAS NOT EVEN KNOWN ON EARTH, THE
RIVER AND THE SEA.
THIS WAS THE EYA TUTU, WHERE OLOFIN GAVE SHANGO A AGBORAN OF THAT
CREATURE FOR WHAT THE
CONSERVE AND WITH IT COULD ACHIEVE THE PERPETUATION OF THE MAINTENANCE OF THE
HUMANITY OF THE CHILDREN
OF OLOFIN.

THEN ALL KINDS OF EYA TUTU CAME TO THE EARTH IN THE FORM OF RAIN
WHERE HUMANITY
HE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRY THEIR MEATS THAT OVER TIME CONTRIBUTED TO
STRENGTHEN YOUR
BONES AND BRAINS WITH WHICH THEY WERE ABLE TO PROGRESS IN THEIR LIVES AND ACHIEVE
THE POSITIONS THAT
OLOFIN DESIGNED HUMAN BEINGS IN CREATION.

AMONG THESE FISH THERE WERE TWO THAT STOOD OUT FOR BEING THE
CONTAINERS OF THE NEAR SECRETS OF THE PRIMITIVE RELIGION OF THE
HUMAN BEINGS, THESE WERE: EYA BO (THE SNAPPER) AND EYA ORO (THE GUABINA).
At the same time as these fish, all the others were multiplying in the
DIFFERENT WATERS SO MUCH
Salads like sweets, created by them with the will of Olofin and thanks to
SHANGO, A SOURCE
OF VERY IMPORTANT FOOD FOR HUMANITY.

NOTE: THIS IFA INDICATES DECALCIFICATION OR MEANING TUBERCULOSIS AND ULCERS DUE TO DEFICIENCY OF
AMINO ACIDS.
SPEAKS ALSO OF PYORRHEA. STOMACH AND BLOOD INFECTIONS. RECOMMENDS
FISH SOUP AND

HEN AND EAT YAM EAT YAM AS A GENERAL FOOD. IN THIS IFA
IT WAS WHERE IT
I met the fish in the world.

Pretenders despite being as powerful as Eshu.
One day she went to Orunmila's house because of her lovers.
THEY WERE VERY IMPERTINENT AND THIS IFA CAME OUT WHERE IT SAID THAT SHE HAD
WHAT TO DO EBBO TO ESHU SO THAT HE DOES NOT SUFFER AN ACCIDENT IN HIS LIFE.
OSHUN TOLD ORUNLA: ESHU IS MY ENEMY, I DON'T EVEN WANT TO DEAL WITH HIM, AND SHE DID NOT.

AND THESE THE

THE HOUSE OF ORUNMILA.
WHEN I ARRIVED, OBALUAYE (SAN LAZARO) WAS THERE, AND ORUNMILA SAID: FOR NOT
TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOU

AFTER ALL THAT MISFORTUNE, YOU HAVE TO PERFORM THE EBBO SHURE FOR ESHU AND THEN SHE
OBEYED AND WAS
Improving but she no longer had the same vision since she only saw in
SPIRIT. TAKEN BY THE ARMS
FOR ORUNMILA AND OBALUAYE THEY TOOK HER TO HIS HOUSE, WHEN HIS SONS SAW HER
Arrive like this between two
POWERFUL AWOSES THEY REPENTED AND THREW THEMSELVES ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS. SHE
I forgive you but I...

OBALUAYE WILL BE MY COMPANY WITH MY

ORUNMILA and OBALUAYE bestowed their blessing upon him and said to him, from now on
ERAS OSHUN AWOYEMI AYABA AWOMI (OSHUN THE ONE WHO DIVINES THROUGH WATER). IENDO
OSHUN EVEN BLIND THROUGH A GLASS OF WATER, GUESSES PEOPLE

AWO OYE was called ORUNMILA on the earth LALE ODO, and he always left when the
LIGHT OF THE DAY TOWARDS
CEREMONIES IN THAT LAND OF FISH AND THEY SAID THAT FOR THEM IT CAME OUT
THE LIGHT OF DAY
BEFORE ANYONE ELSE.
When Oye saw this sign, he was the king of the fishes, who was the owner of the bed.
FROM THE SEA AND FROM THE RIVER;
THE OWNER OF THE FISH AND HIS CHILDREN MADE THE EBBO THAT ORUNMILA MARKED AND THEY
THEY HAD MANY CHILDREN AND
THEY SPREAD OUT ACROSS ALL THE SEAS AND RIVERS OF THE WORLD, BUT THE WIFE OF THE OBA OF THE
TUTU DID NOT WANT
MAKE THE OTHER EBBO THAT ORUNMILA SENT SO THAT THEY WOULD BE FREE FROM THE BEINGS
HUMANS WHO
They were starting to populate the planet.

SHE DID NOT DO THE EBBO BECAUSE SHE SAID IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO HAVE IT
ENEMIES, FOR I WAS WATCHING
THEY ARE SAFE CHILDREN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RIVER. SHE TOOK AWO OYE LIKE A SCAMMER.
AND LIKE A
LIAR. THEN SHE LOOKED AT THE SKY FILLED WITH RESPECT, AS IF HER CHILDREN NEVER
They were to die.

It happened that when human beings developed, they took

GUATACAS, MACHETES AND A
OVAL GUIRO AND THEY DAMMED THE RIVER AND BEGAN TO DRAIN WATER. WHEN IT WAS ALREADY
THERE WAS NO WATER LEFT
THEY ENCOUNTERED THE CHILDREN OF THE FISH IN THE RIVER BED AND THE HUMAN BEINGS
TOOK, IN
Eshu and Shango arrived and upon seeing that the men had ishu cooked, they...
THEY TOLD THEM:

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD, MEN HAD NO CONTAINER TO COLLECT
WATER, THEY
THEY THOUGHT THEIR HANDS WERE NOT ENOUGH AND TOOK A TREE, BUT THEY SAW
THAT I DON'T KNOW
IT CONTAINED THERE AND I COULD. THE LEAVES OF THE TREES WERE EQUALLY UNCOMFORTABLE.

As they did not know anything, they went to see Orunmila and he showed them this Ifa and
I INDICATE THE EBBO
WHAT THEY DID, ORUNMILA TOLD THEM: TAKE THE EBBO TO THE BANK OF THE RIVER, THERE
UDS. HARAN A 25
STEPS FROM THE SHORE A JORO JORO (HOLLOW) THAT IS PROPORTIONAL TO YOURS

THEY DID EVERYTHING TO THE LETTER AND WHILE THEY WERE DIGGING
THEY WERE SINGING THE FOLLOWING SUYERE:

IFA BEWA ISHEDA

OZAIN BEWA ISHEDA
THIS IS MY SMALL VIEW

THEY MADE THE HOLE OF THE REQUIRED DEPTH, SO THAT IT WOULD COVER A
MAN AT THE BACK
THEY FOUND A VERY MOIST CLAY THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW.
THEY ASKED WHAT KIND OF
EARTH WAS TAKEN AND THEY MADE A VESSEL WITH IT, THEY LET IT DRY AND FILLED IT WITH
WATER AND THEY SAW THAT NOT
IT CAME OUT AND THEY SAID: "THE WORD OF IFA IS HOLY". THEY TOOK A LOT OF CLAY AND MADE
THE WALLS OF HIS
HOUSES AND VESSELS FOR COLLECTING WATER.

THEY NOTICED THAT OVER TIME THE VESSELS SUCKED UP WATER AND TOOK IT AWAY TO
ORUNMILA AND THIS THEM
HE SAID: THEY LACK A SECRET, BRING ME DRY STRAW AND LEAVE ME A VESSEL, OR CASK.
ORUNMILA TOOK THE DRY STRAW AND PUT THE JAR THERE LIGHTING IT ON FIRE
PAJA AND TOLD THEM THAT
THEY WOULD RETURN IN THREE DAYS TO TEACH THEM THE SECRET. THE FIRE WAS
COOKING THE CLAY,
WHEN THEY ARRIVED, ORUNMILA TOOK THE JAR THAT WAS HARD AND SOUNDED GOOD.
I FILLED IT WITH WATER AND
THEY SAW THAT THE WATER REMAINED INTACT, ORUNMILA INSTRUCTED THE MEN IN THE
SECRETS OF THE
SILVERSMITH. ELEGBADIJO: "THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE NEITHER ON LAND NOR IN WATER HAVE
"DONE EBBO", THAT'S WHY
THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH FIRE TO SERVE, THIS IS THE GREAT SECRET OF

THIS IS MY FATHER'S PAYMENT.

They can get a bad blow or may have a displeasure.

15.- HOW ORANIYAN FORMED THE EARTH.

-----------------------------

EBBO: A KUKO, A JIO JIO, SILVER CHAIN, BOWL WITH WATER AND REEF.
NOTE: IT DOES NOT CONTAIN EITHER MALANGA LEAVES OR EKO, BECAUSE IT BEGINNING OF THE WORLD NO
THERE WERE PLANTS.
THE JIO JIO FROM Ties it to the chain and starts to scrape the ground and the REEF
WHAT GOES INSIDE
A cup with seawater and THE JIO JIO IS GIVEN TO THE PERSON WHO IS DOING
THE EBBO FOR
LET IT BE ENDURED, AND IF IT DOESN'T DIE, IT GROWS. THIS IS BECAUSE AT THE BEGINNING OF
WORLD NO THERE WAS
EARTH AND OLOKUN TOOK A CHAIN AND TIED IT TO THE JIO JIO SO THAT IT WOULD ROLL
THUS SHE RAISED IT
EARTH. THE CHAIN REPRESENTS THE UNION BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH AND THIS IS
PRODUCT OF THE CHICKEN
BEFORE EATING, SCRAPE AND THIS CHAIN IS THE SAME AS THE ONE YOU ANOTHE MEYI ELEGBA SHORT
WHEN A

AWETONIREO LERI AWAWE, BOGBO WANI SHOWEYE.

A ORANIYAN, OLOFIN MADE HIM COME TO EARTH BECAUSE 15 OF HIS HAD ALREADY COME
BROTHERS AND NO
THEY HAD BEEN ABLE TO FORM THE EARTH AND HIS FATHER OLOYO GAVE HIM AN IGBA ADO (GUIRO)
WHERE HE WAS
MIXED EPO, OTA, AWADO, OÑI AND HE SAID: THIS WILL BE USEFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE TO
DO. AND HE GAVE 21
INKIN IFA AND A FIVE-YEAR-OLD.

HE WENT TO SEE ORUNMILA, WHO SAW HIM OYEKUN MEYI AND TOLD HIM THAT HE HAD TO
CALL OKEJAN, THAT
IT WAS THE ALALEYO OF AIYO. THEN ORANIYAN SET OUT ON THE ROAD WHERE HE WENT PLAYING.
ON THE GO Y
I was singing:

FATHER ALAGOGO ORANIYAN SPEAKS ON THE MATTER OF THUNDER

AT THAT TIME THE EARTH WAS ONLY WATER, WHEN ORANIYAN CAME TO THE EARTH HE
I curled up and touched his
AGOGO AND PRAYER:

Father, I am praying for you.

Father, help me with my ailing spouse.
FATHER ELEBORO ORANIYAN, OPEN UP THE LIGHT.

THEN HE TOOK OUT A LITTLE MIXTURE FROM THE GUIRO AND THREW IT INTO THE WATER AND THEN HE
HARD HEART AND LET GO
ADIE and this one started to dig the ground where it grew and Aguema that had.
FOLLOWED BY
ORUNMILA jumped to the ground and said to ORANIYAN: The earth is now firm, you can go.
Download here.
THEN ORANIYAN CAME DOWN WITH A CHAIN, HIS IGBA, HIS STAFF, HIS AGOGO AND HIS
Ikin Ifa.
THEN HE TOOK A BIG STONE AND PLANTED IT AND SAID: HERE WE WILL MAKE THE CENTER OF THE
LAND AND IT WILL BE CALLED
I don't understand.

THEN ALL THE ORISHAS STARTED TO DESCEND, THE FIRST ONES WERE ODDUA,
OSHAGRIÑAN
SHANGO; ORANIYAN I CONSACRATED THEM IN THE CENTER OF THE EARTH AND CALL SHANGO,
AYALORUN Y A
OSHAGRIÑAN, OBATALA, ODUDUWA, OSHABEYI AND THEY IN TURN CROWNED HIM AND GAVE HIM
THEY GAVE THE NAME OF

ORANIYAN was a hunter and a brave warrior who decided to expand across the
EARTH AND HE TOOK HIS IKINES
IFA AND HE SAW OYEKUN MEYI WHERE HE SET OUT ON THE ROAD AND WENT SINGING:

THE PRESENCE OF THE GOD OF THUNDER TOUCHES EVERYONE.

ON THE ROAD HE ENCOUNTERED A GROUP OF WILD ANTS THAT SURROUNDED HIM
THE ROAD AND HE HAD
THAT CHANGE OF COURSE AND ARRIVED AT THE EARTH YANGAN, HERE ALL HIS BROTHERS
They abandoned and
I followed across the land; I took the Takua road but the people there did not
They let pass.

THEN HE ARRIVED IN THE LAND OF IBARIBA AND THERE HE PREPARED A INSHE OZAIN CALLED
TOUGUN AND HAD SHAPE
OF AGUEMA AND PUT THE LERI OF AN EYELE AND WHEN ORANIYAN CONTINUED THE MAJA AND
HE ARRIVED AT A LAND
I affirm and call on Oloyo, and there he placed Shango, and he returned to Inle Ife and rounded it off.
EARTH, THEN TO IT
HE TOLD THE PEOPLE OF INLE IFE: I AM LEAVING, EVERY TIME YOU GO TO CONSECRATE TO
SOMEONE IN SECRET OF
INKIN IFA, THEY HAVE TO CALL ME AND OKEJAN AND WHEN A WAR IS LOOMING
THEY HAVE TO
CALL ME IN HIS DEFENSE AND THEY WILL DO SO:

The heart is the key to the world, wealth lies in unity.

LOÑIO

A time passed and the war came, and they called it Oranian.
SHADOW, JUMP AND I ARRIVE
AND THEY WERE BLEEDING AT THE ORIDOE HE TOOK THE INKIN IFA AND PUT IT ON THE
RIGHT WHERE IT SAID:

THE CURSE IS NOT IN THE LAND, THE CURSE IS IN THE PEOPLE

WARA WARA ADELE NIFAORO KANSHERO NILE.

AFTER TO THE LEFT:

WARA WARA ADELE NIFA ORO KANSHORO NILE
HE CLOSED IT ALL AND HANDED IT OVER TO OGBE SA TO CONSECRATE THE CHILDREN OF
ORUNMILA. AFTER HE CONSACRATED IT ON THE 8TH DAY, HE COLLECTED THE REMAINS AND
HE GAVE IT TO IRETE KUTAN TO BURY IT AND GAVE HIM THE AKUKO
WHAT HE HAD AND ATE IT OKJAN AND OGGUN WHERE HE SANG:
LAYE LAYE LAYEMA
LAYE LAYE LAFIFI

AFTER THEY COVERED THE JORO JORO, HE TOOK THE OMIERO OF EWE PAIASAMI
And Ewe Atori washed everyone's hands while they sang:
WAWA WAWA CORN ELEGUEDE KOKO ELEGUEDE LONA
AWANA WANA KORI KORI

SO NO HEAD WAS LOST FOR THE SECRET OF THE EARTH.

Yeku-Meji:
THE BEGINNING OF HONOR

THE TRUTH
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MATTER
THE WORLD HAS ITS OWN WAY OF MOVING EVERYDAY

A DAY FOR EVERYONE

The child is the pride of the home.
CHILDREN WILL BE, CHILDREN WILL SHINE. THEY ARE LIKE THE STARS

MY NAME IS
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A MOTHER
NSE AND M ÀÁ WON WILL BE TOGETHER

TRANSLATION:
THE FIRST TWILIGHT
THE SECOND TWILIGHT
THE TWILIGHT IS APPEARING
PEOPLE THINK THAT THE DAY HAS ALREADY STARTED
These were the declarations of Ifá for the sheep
FROM WHOM PEOPLE SAID SHE WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO GIVE BIRTH AGAIN
BUT HER WOMB WAS FULL OF CHILDREN LIKE WORMS
MY AUTHORITY DERIVES FROM OLÚBÁMÍ (LET MY DEITY ME
HELP SO THAT MY SON IS BORN
CERTAINLY, I SHOULD HAVE JOINED THEM TO GIVE BIRTH
I WILL ALSO JOIN THEM IN HAVING A CHILD ON MY BACK
