The fool takes pleasure in his conduct, the wise in his actions.
3- SNAKES HAVE NEVER BEEN FRIENDLY WITH EACH OTHER.
4- IT DOESN'T MATTER TO THE HEN WHO THROWS THE CORN, IT JUST RUNS TO EAT.
5- Whoever avoids evil out of fear is wise, whoever approaches it out of 'courage' is foolish.
6- THE HUNTER WHO TALKS TOO MUCH RETURNS HOME EMPTY.

10- Auras alone kill.

IFÁ PROVERBS:-

Gossipy neighbors are like endless ruin.
The miser is as vicious as the spendthrift.
8.- THERE IS NO GREATER OFFENSE TO AN ORISHA THAN BLASPHEMY.
9.-ALCOHOL TURN A ASHAMED MAN INTO A SHAMELESS ONE.
10.- WORDS LIE, GESTURES DO NOT.
To blame the innocent is like running on linen.

ETHICAL PROPHECY: - BEING SOLUTION-ORIENTED IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN ALL ORDER.

ORACULAR TOTEM: - THE ARUCO.

ORUNMILA DID DIVINATION FOR THE ARUCO (BEAUTIFUL BIRD THAT USUALLY WANDERS IN PAIRS) WHEN
LAND PREDATORS THREATENED HIS NEST. HE LISTENED AND SACRIFICED. AFTER SOME TIME
LEARNED TO BUILD FLOATING NESTS IN SWAMPS, TO REST HIGH UP IN TREES AND TO EMIT
SOUNDS TO DELIMIT TERRITORY. THIS IS HOW IT SURVIVED.

CAVILATION: - IFA DEMANDS YOUR PRAYERS AT 12 PM AND 6 PM: "WHEN IFA KNEW YOU WERE PRONE TO GETTING BORED,
I modify what is prescribed for you, but knowing that you are also prone to hastiness, I teach you the hours.
OF YOUR FULFILLMENT, BUT NOT EVERYONE WHO FULFILLS THE PRAYER IS PRAYING.

DUALITY: THE CONFLICT AND THE AGREEMENT.

FOR GOING ANNOUNCES SURPRISE OR DESIRED NEWS. HEALS CONSCIENCE. SPEAKS OF DISCOVERY OF SOMETHING.
PRECIOUS (JEWELS) THAT SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON THE MARKET AT ONCE. THE OFFER INCREASES THE VALUE.
IT CAN BE DISCUSSED. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO DISTANCE YOURSELF FOR A FEW MINUTES FROM THIS WORLD TO ORGANIZE IDEAS AND
FEELINGS. NOTHING CONQUERS MORE THAN A LOGICAL REASON. PEACE AND TRANQUILITY ARE IN THE AIR. PROSPERITY AND
FORTUNE. POSITIVE CHANGES IN OUR WORK SITUATION. HAPPY FAMILY RELATIONS AND
REASSURING.

FOR OSOGBO ANNOUNCES UNCERTAIN FORECAST NOT TO SAY BAD. BE CAREFUL WITH UNSANITARY THOUGHTS THAT
They make sick tales like rage, envy, greed, desire for what belongs to another, and sorrow. Someone will disappear.
FROM OUR LIFE TEMPORARILY OR DEFINITIVELY. TORMENT. DISEASE OF THE LOWER ABDOMEN OR THE
STOMACH. MARKS FAMILY SEPARATION. FEAR AND DISCONSOLATION. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO RESOLVE DISPUTES
FAMILY MEMBERS BY MATERIAL POSSESSIONS. OLDER PEOPLE ARE SPOKEN ILL OF. DISPLEASURE FROM GOSSIP.
Worries and problems. Melancholy. Excess sentimentality. Do not tell lies. Be careful with
GREED. AMBITION TO LEAD OTHERS. YOU HAVE A BAD TEMPER. YOU HAVE LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR
ANGELIC OR ASTRAL PROTECTION. YOU CAN ISOLATE YOURSELF BECAUSE OF SOMETHING REALLY DISAPPOINTING. A WALL CAN
PROTECT IT FROM OUTSIDE DANGERS AND A STRAIGHT COURSE OF INSIDE DANGERS. BE CAREFUL WITH THE
JUSTICE. CONCERN FOR ORDER AND ECONOMY. SOON IT WILL BE IN A DIFFICULT SITUATION WHERE
All caution will be little. New relationships will not be as beneficial as we hope.

Hail Obatala, praise Elegba, Oya.

STORY:
ON THIS ROAD THERE WAS A QUEEN WHO WAS VERY FAT AND LOVED PARTIES A LOT, BUT SHE HAD
COMPLEX OF GOING TO THE DANCE. I CALL ALL THE WISE MEN OF THE COURT TO SEE WHAT REMEDY THEY WOULD PROVIDE AND
EVERYONE CREATED A BRA INTO WHICH THEY PUT THE QUEEN TO GIVE HER SOME SHAPE. SHE WAS
SOMEWHAT BETTER, BUT IT TURNED OUT THAT THAT INVENTION WAS UNCOMFORTABLE FOR HIM, AS IT TOOK AWAY HIS AIR. SHE
DESPERATE I WENT TO TALK ABOUT THE FAME OF ORUNMILA AND I CALLED HIM TO HIS COURT WHERE ORUNMILA SAW THIS
IFA told him that his ailments were due to his body not functioning and that there was a lack of control.

THEN SHE TOLD HIM: ELEGBA AND OYA WILL SOLVE HIS PROBLEM, BUT HE HAS TO MAKE EBBO. SHE
He did it and took it to the mountain in front of a caimitos tree and prayed: Ebbo Misi Omi Bona to the Ayapa and her.
I started to lose weight until I became a slender woman, thanking Orunmila.

DAUGHTERS AND AS THE WOMAN WORKED, SHE USED HER MOTHER-IN-LAW TO TAKE CARE OF HER DAUGHTERS. THERE IN THE
FACTORY WHERE I WORKED MET A MAN STARTING TO LIVE CLANDESTINELY, BUT
IT HAPPENED THAT THE MAN WAS IMPOTENT AND THE WOMAN NO LONGER WANTED TO STAY WITH HIM. THE MAN HARASSED HER.
AND SHE EVEN BLACKMAILED HER WITH COMMUNICATING TO HER HUSBAND ABOUT HER ADULTERY AS SHE HAD A PICTURE OF HER.

THINGS REACHED A POINT THAT WHEN THE BELOVED GOT DRUNK HE WOULD GO TO THE DOOR OF THE
HOUSE TO OFFEND HER BY MISTREATING HER. IN THIS SITUATION, THE DESPERATE WOMAN WENT TO
HOUSE OF ORUNMILA TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM FOR HIM, AS THAT MAN WAS HARMING HIS MORALITY,
TO FIND OUT HER HUSBAND AND AS SHE HAD ALREADY BEEN ACCUSED BY A WOMAN LIVING NEAR HER OF
SHE WAS LIVING WITH A MAN AND HIS HUSBAND HAD FOUND OUT AND SHE DIDN'T WANT HIM TO FIND OUT

ADOLESCENCE DURING FESTIVAL TIMES, THE WASP ACCUSED THE BUTTERFLY OF SHOWING HIM THE MEMBER AND THEY WENT TO
THE COURT OF THE WISE BEETLE. IN THE DEFAMED BIG BUTTERFLY, HE MADE DIVINATION AND SACRIFICE.

THERE EVERYONE WAS HEARD AND THE JUDGE SAID THAT WHOEVER HAD THE FINEST WAIST WOULD BE THE ONE WHO HAD

GOD OF THE MOUNTAIN AND THEY TOLD HIM THAT WHAT WAS HAPPENING WAS NOT FAIR, OZAIN WENT TO SEE
OLOFIN THOUGHT IT WAS A MISTAKE TO HAVE CREATED SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE AND OLOFIN SAID TO HIM: - THE MOST THAT

I spy on them and alert the pack. The wolves prepared their ambush and the old wolf.
HE SAID:

I TALK TO THE HORSE LIKE THIS:
BROTHER HORSE, YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY DOZENS OF WOLVES, BUT WE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING AGAINST YOU, NOR
AGAINST THE GOAT, WE ONLY CARE ABOUT THE RAM.

EXPERIENCE THAT I AND YOU PROBABLY CAN HELP ME. TELL ME: WHERE CAN I FIND
IS THAT WHAT THEY CALL OCEAN? I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR IT EVERYWHERE, WITH NO RESULT.

"THE OCEAN," THE OLD FISH ANSWERED, "IS WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW."

"THIS? BUT THIS IS NOTHING BUT WATER... WHAT I SEEK IS THE OCEAN," REPLIED THE YOUNG FISH,
TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED, WHILE HE WAS SWIMMING AWAY TO SEEK ELSEWHERE. STOP
SEARCH, LITTLE FISH. THERE IS NOTHING TO SEARCH FOR. YOU JUST HAVE TO BE CALM, OPEN YOUR EYES AND
LOOK. YOU CAN'T STOP SEEING IT. THEN I RETURN AND SACRIFICE. YOUR PERSONAL ORI RECEIVED
LIGHTING AND DISCOVERED THAT HAPPINESS IS WITHIN REACH OF EVERYONE AND ONLY BY REACHING OUT
YOU CAN DO IT, TO IBAN ESU.
