PATAKIN:

ON THIS PATH IN THE LAND OF IFA, OLOFIN WAS LOOKING FOR AN AWO
CONFIDENTIALITY TO ENTRUST YOU WITH THE SECRET OF IFA AND FUE
ASKED ABOUT THE AWOS AND THE SIGN OF EACH ONE.

WHEN OLOFIN ASKED, SHANGO AND ELEGBA WERE IN FRONT,

SALI AWO AWABURE AND THAT AWO WAS CHILD OF SHANGO, WHEN ASKING-
Taron left Juani, who was the one supposed to receive it.
SECRET OF OLOFIN. OLOFIN ASKED THE MAN OF SHANGO IF
HE KNEW WHAT TO DO, AWO AWABURE REPLIED
THAT IF AND HE TOLD OLOFIN: TELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
WITH AWO AWABURE, THAT YOU KNOW IS A GREAT SECRET OF OTURA
NIKO. I CALL AWO MOLA*O MOLABO AND ASK HIM WHAT HE HAD
WHAT TO DO AND SAY.

WHEN HIS BROTHERS CAME WHO WERE LIKE ELEGBA AND HE

THEY ANSWERED YES, THEN THE FIRST CONSACRATION WAS MADE
THE SIGN OF IFA AND TWO AWOSES GOT TOGETHER THAT WERE
AMONSIO AND LOVE WHAT IS IGUI.

%PA
AWO MOLA*O MOLABO CARRIED ALL THE INGREDIENTS, OLOFIN AND
SHANGO HID FROM ALABGA AT THE EDGE OF THE RIVER TO
WATCHING WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO IS COOL.

WHEN THE AWOSES ARRIVE, MOLA*O MOLABO WITH AMONSIO AND AMORO WILL
They knelt before the river and in front of Aragba, they prayed:

THE BLESSING IN THE MULBERRY TREE OVERCOMES ALL CHAINS OF FATE

CAPITAL OF GOD OBOMIRE ORUNMILA OFFERING OF DIVINATION PART OF THE FATE OF THE GRANDEUR
O father, there is a hawk in the sky.

AMONSIO and AMORO PUT THEIR HANDS IN THE RIVER IN SEARCH OF

OTA AND MOLA*O MOLABO SANG:

THIS IS YOUR MOTHER'S MOTHER'S

WHEN TAKING IT OUT AWO MOLA*O MOLABO WAS SINGING: OTA ODO ODARA.

WHEN TAKING OUT THE OTAS AMONSIO AND AMORO, THEY TURNED THEIR BACKS TO
RIVER OPENED A JORO JORO EACH ONE AND BURIED EBBO IPIN,
MOLA*O MOLABO began to pray, giving OBI and OMI TUTO:

MOYUGBA IRETE WAN WAN OBA OLOFIN OBANERI AWO IRE OBANIRE

THEY TOOK THE EYELID GIVING EYERBALE TO THE LERI, OTA AND EBBO
I was singing:

THE FLOWER OF GOODNESS IS IN OUR HEART, THE FLOWER OF GOODNESS IS IN OUR HEART
THE RESULT OF ONE'S WORK IS WHAT DETERMINES SUCCESS.

They threw the man washing his head in the river with the other one.
AND THEY SANG:

ASHE IS ONLY IN THE ACT.

MOLA*O MOLABO LIFTED THE AWOSES AND THEY PRAYED:

MOLA*O MODA MOLANI MODA ASHE OTA AWA OGBARAN INSHE NIBO
YIBO OBUSI

OLOFIN and SHANGO said look at my son, but he is lacking

SOMETHING, BUT WHEN THE AWOSES CAME OUT ON THE ROAD FOR ONI

KEUMBO AWO

WHEN THEY ARRIVED AT ILE BODUN, OLOFIN WAS WATCHING AND HE

They knelt and gave OBI just like in the river and he
%PA
God bless you and good health.

BEFORE MOYURBAR SAID IN THE SHILEKUN HIS PRAYER OF OSHE

BILE, FINISHING ALL THE AWOSES STOPPED AND THE OF
INSIDE HE SAID: 'SHAPE AS DESTINY OF LIFE CHANGES BEFORE THE KING'.
THEY PAINTED THE LEFT HAND AND SANG: "MOLA*O MOLABO KIFUN"

OWIWI ZUNZUN, IS GIVEN TO EAT AKUKO SHASHARA AT THE FOOT OF
A palm tree by the river and lives hanging behind the
GATE OF THE ILE.

THE YAPA WANTED TO GO VISIT HER OMO WHO LIVED IN THE

Tierra Toku went to see Awo Aladi who received her.
I saw this IFA and he told me that I had to make EBBO before
TO PREVENT HER SECRET FROM BEING REVEALED, THE AYAPA DID THE
EBBO, BUT HE DID NOT GIVE THE AKUKO TO THE PALM AND LEFT AND
I AM MAKING THE TRIP.

%PA
AFTER MANY YEARS, A TERRIBLE HUNGER STRUCK BOTH
SKY LIKE THE EARTH, AYAPA LEFT FOR THE ROAD TO
SEE IF I FOUND SOMETHING TO EAT AND I INVENT A TRICK
TO FIND THE FOOD, HE ARRIVED AT OYA'S HOUSE WHICH WAS
THE SQUARE THAT IN THAT LAND HAD A PALM IN IT
CENTER OF THE MARKET AND WHEN THE MARKET DAY ARRIVED THAT
IT WAS FRIDAY AND THE PEOPLE STARTED TO ARRIVE AT THE SQUARE,
Ayapa began to sing:

The child who is blessed shall be blessed.

BLAMING THE PALM FOR THE HUNGER, THE PEOPLE THAT DO NOT
THE VEIN BECAUSE IT WAS HIDDEN AMONG THE PEOPLE, FLED FROM
THERE AND SHE PICKED UP THE LITTLE THAT THERE WAS, THIS WAS DONE EVERY DAY
OF MARKED, EATING ALL THE LITTLE FOOD THAT THERE WAS, THE
THE TOWN WENT TO SEE THE OBA AND TOLD HIM WHAT WAS HAPPENING, THAT A
WHAT WAS SINGING FROM THE PALM, BUT IT WAS NOT KNOWN IF IT WAS A
EGGUN OR WAS A PHENOMENON, THE OBA SENT OGGUN TO SEARCH FOR
LOOK AND FIND OUT, BUT ON HEARING THE SONG HE LEFT
RUNNING TO THE MOUNTAIN.

THE OBA CALLED ESHU, HE CALLED HIS ADO SHURE OF OMOLOGU,

BUT THIS COULD NOT CAPTURE THE MYSTERY, THEN THE OBA
I CALL AWO ALADI WHO WAS THE OLUTO OZAIN OF THAT LAND
AND HE WHO SAW THIS IFA, WHERE HE PREPARED HIS OZUN OF OZAIN, A

IRETE JUANI IS OZAIN'S FAVORITE FOOD.

NOTE: A COMPLETE EBBO HAS TO BE DONE.

3.- THE PATH WHERE OSHUN IS ADORED.
--------------------------------

PATAKIN:

IN NIGERIA IN OSHOGBO THE ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF OFFERINGS TO

OSHUN IS THE REVITALIZATION OF THE PACT THAT LINKS TO THE FIRST KING
LOCAL WITH THE LARO RIVER. THE PREDECESSOR OF THE CURRENT KING AFTER
OF LONG PILGRIMAGES IN SEARCH OF A PLACE
FAVORABLE WHERE TO SETTLE WITH YOUR PEOPLE, ARRIVED AT THE RIVER
OSHUN, WHOSE WATERS FLOWED WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, IT IS SAID THAT
DAYS LATER A DAUGHTER OF THE KING WHILE SHE WAS BATHING IN THE
RIO DISAPPEARED UNDER ITS WATERS; LITTLE TIME LATER
SHE APPEARED MAGNIFICENTLY DRESSED AND TOLD HER FATHER THAT
SHE HAD BEEN GRANDIOSLY RECEIVED BY THE DIVINITY THAT
ALLI RESIDIA.

LARO MADE A OFFERING OF GRATITUDE TO THE RIVER, MANY FISH MESSAGE-

JEROS OF DIVINITY CAME TO EAT IN SIGN OF
ACCEPTANCE.

A big fish came close and spat water, how strange

I gather in a pumpkin making this alliance pact with
THE RIVER, EXTENDED THE HAND AND THE FISH JUMPED BETWEEN THEM; TOOK
THE TITLE OF ATA OSA, CONTRACTION OF THE YORUBA PHRASE
TINOGBO EYA, THE ONE WHO EXTENDS BOTH HANDS, AND TOOK THE
FISH AND I DECLARE: ORUGBO, THAT IS OSHUN IS IN STATE
OF MATURITY, ITS WATERS WILL ALWAYS BE ABUNDANT. FROM THERE THE
NAME OF THE CITY OF OSHOGBO.

NOTE: FOR THIS IFA, ONE MUST ADORE OSHUN AND PAY TRI-
Frog in the river.

4.- WHY SOME ORANGES ARE SOUR AND OTHERS SWEET.

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

PATAKIN:

OSHUN LIVED IN A LAND WHERE EVERYTHING WAS PROSPERITY AND

JOY, FOR SHE WITH HER WATERS FLOODED THAT LAND AND
ALL WERE FERTILE AND PRODUCTIVE.

FOR HIS FEEDING, HE HAD PLANTED ORANGE TREES,

THAT WAS HIS FAVORITE FOOD AND IT WAS PROHIBITED UNDER PENALTY
OF PUNISHMENT TO TOUCH THOSE FRUITS.

One day, the trees of Oshun woke up mistreated,

CUT BRANCHES, THROWN ON THE GROUND AND THE REST OF THE
FRUITS ON EARTH.
%PA
OSUN became deeply saddened and ordered to
FOUND OUT AND KNEW THAT THEY WERE PEOPLE FROM THE TOWN WHO WANTED
TO KNOW THE TASTE OF ORANGES BY THE FAME OF SWEETNESS
WHAT THEY HAD FROM OSHUN.

OSHUN MANAGED TO PUNISH THOSE WHO HAD VIOLATED HER

GARDEN AND DISAPPEARED FROM THAT LAND GOING TO LIVE IN A
CAVE ON THE BANK OF THE RIVER WHOSE ENTRANCE WAS COVERED WITH
CRADLE.

THE FERTILITY OF THE LAND IN THOSE PLACES IS

It was lost, the lands became unproductive and in others
THE WATERS SWEPT EVERYTHING AWAY.

THE FARMERS CONSULTED ORUNMILA AND HE TOLD THEM:

WHAT HAD TO BE DONE EBBO TO PLEASE OSHUN WITH
FRUIT BASKETS, SAINTS' FOOD, SAINTS' DRINKS AND
VEGETABLES, VEGETABLES, MEATS, GRAINS, 5 HENS, 5
Pigeons, 5 bananas, 5 jio jio, and 5 quails.

OSHUN entered knowing that they had gone to Orunmila's house to

MAKE EBBO, I CAN'T FIND A WAY TO DO SOMETHING THAT IMPI-
It will be consumed in the house of IFA, decided to see to
ELEGBA SO THAT THERE WOULD BE NO ONE TO RECEIVE OR FIND
THE EBBO.

ORUNMILA MAKES THE OSODE AND WARNS THAT NO ONE SHOULD APPROACH
THE RIVER IF HE DID NOT BRING OFFERINGS TO OSHUN, FOR THIS STILL
SHE WAS ANGRY AND ANYONE WHO CAME NEAR RAN THE RISK.

ELEGBA HAD HEARD THE WARNING OF ORUNMILA, BUT HE WANTED TO

BEING CURIOUS AND SEEING HOW BRAVE OSHUN WAS; IT
I approached the river and saw everything calm and peaceful. I got closer.
EVEN MORE, REACHING THE SHORE; OSHUN CAME OUT OF THE CAVE
AND I OFFER HIM LITTLE BOYS WITH FACES, HE APPROACHED TO TAKE THEM
And he fell in the sleeping area that was at the entrance of the cave.
And I was left captivated and imprisoned by the riverbank.

The people of the village went to Orunmila's house to make

THE EBBO; HE TOLD THEM THAT HE COULD NOT DO IT, FOR HE DID NOT
ELEGBA WAS THERE TO TAKE HIM, THAT ONE HAD TO LOOK FOR ELEG-
BA. ORUNMILA saw OSODE and saw IRETE BANWANI and decided that
WE HAD TO GO TO THE RIVER, SINCE EVERYTHING THAT WAS HAPPENING WAS
WORK OF OSHUN. I TAKE 5 LITTLE BUNS OF FACE FOR OSHUN WITH
HONEY AND 5 BUNS WITH EKU, EYA, AWADO FOR ELEGBA AND 3 JIO
JIO.

I arrived at the riverbank and sang to Oshun, she gave him honey
And 5 boys. While he was eating what Orunmila offered him
CIA, THIS GAVE EYERBALE TO ELEGBA OF THE THREE JIO JIO; HE
DIO EKU, IT'S YOUR TIME, THROW THE BODIES INTO THE RIVER AND HE TOOK THE
COTS THAT IMPRISONED ELEGBA. WHERE THIS HAPPENED
THE BODIES OF THE CHICKS, AND SHE TOOK ELEGBA TO HER HOUSE
%PA
AND HE HELD A CEREMONY WITH THE SLEEPER AND THE HEAD OF THE
THREE LITTLE CHICKENS, STRENGTHENED THE SECRET AND MADE THE EBBO AND ALL
They went to the riverbank with the animals, the fruits and
THE FOODS THEY OFFERED TO OSHUN.

OSHUN CAME OUT OF THE RIVER AND ACCEPTED THE SUPPLICATIONS AND OFFERINGS AND
I forgive your people, but he said as a reminder of the
INGRATITUDE THEY HAD SHOWN TO HER: 'NOW ALL THE
ORANGES WILL NOT BE SWEET, THERE WILL BE SOUR ONES THAT REPRESENT
RAN THIS PAIN AND SORROW, THAT YOU HAVE CAUSED ME.
5.- IFA OF THE VENTRILOQUIST.
-------------------

EBBO: AIKORDIE, A BUNCH OF APPLE BANANAS, A CAN.

EBBO: CHICKEN, THIS IS MY HEN, LADDER, A BAG OF MONEY, 3 SILVER COINS

OUR APPLE TREES, 7 SMALL STEAMERS, 3 PARROT FEATHERS, PLATE,

HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MAYOMBE. TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH, GO TO THE ME-
I say to get a blood test. Take care of your
Children, if it's a boy, don't let him drown.

PATAKIN:

ORUNMILA became OSODE and this sign came out where IFA told him
MARCO EBB WITH A DOVE, CORN STRAW AND A CASE, EVERYTHING
INSIDE THE CASE AND SHOULD BE PUT ON THE CHEST; BUT
ORUNMILA DID NOTHING BECAUSE HE FORGOT. THEN HE
AN INVITATION FROM AN AWOSES ASSOCIATION ARRIVED THAT
THEY HAD SPECIALIZED WITH OZAIN; THEY WERE GOOD OZAINISTS.

ORUNMILA WENT TO THE APPOINTMENT WITHOUT MAKING EBBO. WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE
Distant village where the conference was, knocked on the door
AND WHEN THE GOALKEEPER CAME OUT, HE ASKED ORUNMILA IF
TRAIA 'AYE' AND ORUNMILA TOLD HIM NO. THE GOALKEEPER LOCKED HIM OUT.
THE DOOR AND ORUNMILA HAD TO RETURN HOME, BUT
WHEN HE ARRIVED, HE REMEMBERED THE EBBO THAT IFA TOLD HIM TO DO AND IT
HE DID. HE CAME BACK FOR THE MEETING AND WHEN HE KNOCKED ON THE DOOR,
THE SAME GOALKEEPER CAME OUT AND ASKED HIM THE SAME QUESTION AS IF
TRAITOR 'AYE'; BUT WHEN ORUNMILA WENT TO ANSWER, IT WAS
THE DOVE THAT GURGLED KURUK-KURUKU AND THE GOALIE
I am amazed to hear this answer without any hesitation.
MOUTH.

%PA
HE BOWED TO HIM AND LED HIM INTO THE ROOM. EVERYONE STAYS.
RON ASTONISHED, AND SUCH WAS THE REVERENCE THEY PAID HIM,
THAT HE WAS NAMED PRESIDENT AND SUPREME LEADER OF THE SOCIETY
AND EVERYTHING WAS BECAUSE THE AYÉ THAT ORUNMILA HAD WAS BIGGER,
BECAUSE HE WAS A 'VENTRILOQUIST'.

KAFEREFUN YALORDE, ORUNMILA, KAFEREFUN ESHU.

NOTE: BLOOD MUST BE REGULARLY RECOGNIZED. IT HAS

THE ESHU OF THIS SIGN IS LAROYE, THE OTA IS AT THE FOOT

FROM A BUSH BY THE RIVER. THE WOODPECKER-
He discovered with his song where his nest was
SAW (IYE) AND THAT'S WHY THEY FOUND OUT.

NOTE: IT HAS A STONE RING THAT CAN BE LOST.

IT'S NOT CONVENIENT FOR HIM. THERE'S A BOY IN THE HOUSE WHO ALWAYS

6.- THE SECRET OF ORUN OZAIN.

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

REZO: IRETE WAN WAN INLE OROMUN OYUZ OZAIN YORO YORO OKU.

In the land of Inle Yoro lived a king who had great

Powers of Ozain and possessed great secrets and consecration
ONCE. THIS KING HAD A SON WHO WAS ALL HIS JOY AND
DEDICATION, FOR HE ONLY HAD DAUGHTERS AND ALWAYS THOUGHT
WHO WOULD BE HIS SUCCESSOR.

THE SON GREW UP AND STARTED TO WALK AND UNDO BY

THE CASTLE; ONE DAY I ENTERED THE ENCLOSURE WHERE HIS FATHER HAD
THE SECRETS OF OZAIN AND PULLING BACK THE CURTAINS AND SEEING
HIS FATHER'S PIECES, HE WENT BLIND. THE KING WENT CRAZY AND
HE REFUGED IN THAT ROOM, NOT WANTING TO SEE ANYONE.

FULL OF PAIN AND SORROW FOR THE BLINDNESS OF HIS SON HE

I was dedicated to committing bad treatments with Ozain, seeking the
FAVOR OF THE EVIL POWERS, FOR I HAD LOST FAITH IN
OLOFIN.

%PA
THE KING'S SON GREW UP AND BECAME A HANDSOME YOUNG MAN
YOUNG AND SHE WAS THE ONE WHO, TOGETHER WITH HER MOTHER, GOVERNED THE TOWN,
THIS STARTED TO LOSE THE RADIATIONS OF OLORUN BECAUSE OF THE
CURSES OF THE MAD KING AND HE FELL MORE AND MORE INTO
THE DARKNESS, UNTIL THERE WAS LIGHT IN THAT TOWN.

ORUNMILA, WHO LIVED NEAR THAT VILLAGE, DECIDED ONE DAY

GO OUT FOR A WALK TO GET TO KNOW THE SURROUNDINGS AND I ARRIVED THERE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY ENCOUNTERING THE REIGNING DARKNESS.

MEANWHILE, TOGETHER WITH THE ARRIVAL OF ORUNMILA,

THE KING HAD DIED, MAD AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS
RANGE OF AWO AND IFA AND OLUO OZAIN THAT THE KING HAD. IN THE
ITUTO SALIO IRETE JUANI, ORUNMILA SAID: THE KING DIES WITH
THE PAIN THAT HIS SUCCESSOR IS NOT SIGHTED THEREFORE NOT
He can properly govern his reign, and his son could not.
BEING INITIATED INTO THE GREAT SECRETS THAT HE MASTERED, THAT
THE CURSE AND DARKNESS WOULD REIGN OVER THEIR TOWN.

THE QUEEN AND THE BEGINNER ASKED ORUNMILA TO DO

SOMETHING TO SAVE YOUR TOWN AND HE SAID: TOGETHER WITH HIM
OZAIN AND THE SECRETS OF THE DEAD KING, WE NEED TO MOUNT A
GREAT SECRET FOR THIS TOWN TO ADORE IT. TO SWEAR TO
PRINCIPLE IN THE SECRETS OF ORUN OZAIN FOR THEM
BRING LIGHT AND HAPPINESS TO THIS TOWN.

THE KING WAS BURIED WITH GREAT HONORS AND 16 DAYS LATER
