used in the secret cult of the heralds during the curfew. He was also told to serve.
He made the sacrifice before arriving on Earth with a guinea.

Okonron-Obara returned home.

In a later divination, ORO was told that he must make sacrifice for a better life,
with a goat for ESHU. Knowing that she did not have money to make the sacrifice because
she had been expelled from the palace empty-handed, ORUNMILA searched for all the
materials for him to make the sacrifice. He made the sacrifice for her. While they left
falling in love with each other and began to live as husband and wife.

Shortly afterward, there was a catastrophe in the palace of OLOFIN, and all those who
they conspired against ORO, they were forced to confess everything openly. The catastrophe arrived
to such an extent that citizens began to say that OLOFIN was not accredited to
apply the throne rules. Taking into account the negative events that occur

sitting, they felt the presence of the aura of a terrestrial human in the house. When they asked him
explanation to her mother, she attributed the strange earthy smell to her physical interaction with the
human beings in the market on the Earth where she had just arrived.

The next day he went to make his divinations, after which he returned to Earth. He had
the custom of boasting that he was the only Awó capable of going to Heaven to perform divinations.
Her volatility soon attracted the attention of the divinity of Death, who began to foresee.
who was the one collecting offerings in Heaven to boast on Earth. The divinity of the
Death finally decided to meet the chatterbox on Earth. She combed the Earth but
could not find the Awó.

When the Awó found out that Death was looking for him, he did divination and was told
what should serve Ifá with a ram, to Eshu with a goat, and that he should stop going to Heaven. He
made the sacrifices. After having eaten his goat, ESHU paid a visit to Death and
he asked him what he wanted to do with the man he was looking for to which he replied that he wanted
to kill him. ESHU criticized his ingratitude to Death for wanting to kill a man who always
he was singing his dreams. ESHU added that the man always said that Heaven was
much more peaceful than Earth. With these words, Death was successfully persuaded
to leave man and return to Heaven.

ram and two hens, ESHU with a goat and sprinkle palm branches on his altar.
