Ogunda was one of the most powerful diviners both in heaven and in the
land. He was credited with the combination of the strength of Ogun with the
intelligence of Orunmila in his work. It was he who revealed the
history of the second attempt by the gods to populate the
earth. Bodi Obara, a disciple of Orunmila, later revealed
details about the first attempt to populate the land and how it went
done. Ogum, the god of iron and the oldest of the orishas created by
God, was also called the physically strongest of all
two hundred deities. He was often referred to as a
discoverer of the path, because he led the second mission of
recognition from heaven to earth. Ogunda Meji tells us that it was for
because of the physical attributes of Ogun that God named him to lead
the path to the second dwelling on earth. He is known for
to be selfish and vain and for not seeking anyone to
advise. He relies almost exclusively on his
production capabilities and physical strength. This explains why he
he never worried about consulting diviners or anyone when he
was appointed by God to carry out the task of establishing a
housing on earth. As soon as he received the command to depart from God,
he left almost immediately. God gave him four hundred
men and women to accompany you on the mission.
After having made all the sacrifices that had been prescribed, it was
until God to obtain the final authorization. Before leaving, he asked God
so that Ile, the deity of the house, would come with him. But, God
I told him that it was not my intention to send two deities to the
land at once, because he planned to send one after the other. In the
meanwhile, He assured Orunmila that if he succeeded on earth
It was to send your servant Opele to the sky to fetch Ile to help.
So he set off to the land. As soon as Orunmila left for the
the land, Exu warned Ogun that Orunmila was coming through the
the path that Ogun had established. Ogun was immediately

Orunmila that the only obligation he should fulfill would be to
feed his followers with sticks as he had done and
Orunmila promised him that he would do it. Meanwhile, Exu also had.

arrived at the riverbank, sent a fish to discover a
passage through the water.
While waiting for the fish to return, Olokun appeared to him and the
rebuked for daring to embark on a journey to earth,
without your approval. Orunmila explained that far from belittling
he had sent Exu to inform him about his trip to earth.
When Olokun realized that Exu had certainly warned him,
he removed the river from the path and told Orunmila to continue his
journey. However, he warned that Orunmila had the obligation
divine to feed your followers, as had been done by Olokun: with
water. Orunmila promised to follow Olokun's advice. And once
that there were no more obstacles in his way, Orunmila continued
your trip to Earth. Upon arrival, he quickly advised
all your male followers cleaning the mountains
and built temporary shacks covered with mats. When
this task was completed, he took the fruits and seeds he had
brought with him and ordered that they be planted on the mountain
that the followers had unfollowed. By nightfall, everyone
they retired to sleep in their respective cabins. Exu, to whom
they had given a goat before the group left the sky, decided
work with the seeds and the animals. When they woke up, from
early morning, they discovered that all cultures not only
they sprouted, but presented their fruits, ready for harvest.
These included yam, banana, corn, vegetables, fruits, etc. When

Olokun also felt challenged and turned into water to form the
oceans and rivers of the earth. The men and women brought to the
land by Orunmila, Ogun, and Olokun soon began to marry each other
with the others they multiplied and spread across the four
songs of the earth. It is important to remember that the descendants and
later incarnations of the followers who originally came to
land with Orunmila, Ogun, Olokun and other deities, became
priests and children of these deities to this day and for eternity.
Those who stray from the flock or do not have the privilege of
discovering your relationship, they are men and women who
they encounter all kinds of difficulties on earth. At this point the pole

Otrupon Meji reveals how the faculty of intelligence was born. This revelation
is contained in the names of the awos who were their celestial diviners. The
names are revealed in the following poem:
It was also Oturupon Meji who revealed how Orunmila and other deities
they returned to the world. Before going into detail about these revelations, it is
it is important to refer to some of the well-known works he did in
sky.
Ologbon Meji performed divination for the tiger and the cat.
At the end of this chapter, we will refer to the tiger as ekun and the cat of
mountains like ogbo. Ogbo had a terrible dream and decided to go to Orunmila
for guessing. Ogbo and ekun were born of the same parents. After
divination, Orunmila said that ogbo had to make a sacrifice to his head
with a Guinea, because of her brother. Ekun was plotting to kill him to
to eat. That he should not serve anyone's head and, above all, he
should be very careful and vigilant regarding the events that
they developed around him. He made the sacrifice. Ekun also went to
Orunmila in search of divination, like what he would have to do to kill.

goat meat with which I would make a sacrifice to Exu and came to the conclusion that

animals compassionate towards ekun. There was an atmosphere of melancholy and it seemed
really that ekun was about to die. However, upon looking at ekun,
directly in the eyes, ogbo immediately knew that his brother was
pretending. At the same time, it suggested that the victim for the sacrifice, the goat, be
killed by another animal, and that later he would use the goat's head to rub
the head of ekun according to tradition. His suggestion was accepted and
the hyena made the sacrifice of the goat and gave the head to ogbo. While ogbo was
praying with the goat's head in her hands, she danced with confident steps
back pointing with the head of the goat in the direction where Ekun was,
while praising Orunmila, for his divination, thus:
I hear, I know.
These are the things of unity, these are the things of joy.
Then he hid and she went out to get the food. She ate and placed the

She fed for seven days. On the seventh day, she went home, abandoning the
forest. Upon arriving at the house the woman was sick. When Ogun discovered that
she had been seduced began to curse her and she fell ill. Her new
husband invited his friends to guess and they advised him to pay a
gift for her. Therefore, it is necessary that any child of Orunmila pays a
dowry for a woman he had seduced. To pay the dowry, he had to
make a sacrifice with a goat, rooster, dog, and turtle. He had to
prepare a cabin surrounded by palm leaves, cook the meat and there
leave the food so that the first husband could pick her up at the cabin. He did the
what they told you in the same place where Uja was temporarily living in the forest.
Ogun, when he arrived there, saw the food inside the cabin and without worrying
in discovering who had seduced his wife, he ate the food,
convinced that the seducer had paid for her. At the end of that month Uja
she was pregnant and had a child for the first time in her life.
