2 males and one female facing upwards: Yes, but be careful not to lose your
temperament, because it can cause you serious problems and damage things. (A
very serious problem) too much risk that emotions and anger will damage things.
1 male and 2 females facing upwards: yes, but be very aware of your character
because problems are possible. A possible anger keeps things uncertain. This

things. The risk is lower with one male and two females facing upward, but still
There are uncertain things.
Questions during life: Chief Popoola declared in the previous type of situation,
(when you get Etawa with confirmation), it is up to you if you want to move forward
and do what you asked or not. if you think you can control any possible emotion,

Ifa ritual day process
1. when performing the day of ifa, before consulting, you must have done your
morning sentences. This is always first.
A. make the sentence in the order of cosmology
B. be grateful for all the things you have in your life
C. ask for forgiveness for yourself, humanity, and the ancestors
D. ask for the things you need in life
E. recite at least 2 stanzas of Ose-Tura
F. to sing the morning prayer songs
2. After the sentences, you will first consult with Esu. To consult with Esu,
You must have 2 Orogbo and 1 Obi abata available, some Oti and some Epo Pupa.
3. start by taking your orogbo and saying:
I have you: earth and I call you
I call upon you, the divinity that listens and supports the motives.
I feel cool, I call you: the owner of fresh water.
I know you well: the owner of the waters that people use for good things.
I call you
I tell you to pay attention: the one who does things well is calling you.
I tell you (say 3 times)
4. grab your orogbo and touch the back of the head (ipako) of everyone
present in the room with the orogbo. touch your own Ipako first, then everyone
yours last again.
5. after this, grab your two orogbo and bite or cut the tips of your Orogbo and
place these four tips over Esu. then sprinkle a little fresh water over the
4 pieces of orogbo 3 times. (remember, omi tutu is the blood of both obi and orogbo)
6. After this, say a small prayer to Esu before starting with the
Orogbo. (traditionally a stanza is recited about the orogbo)
7. question: Esu, do you accept what I am about to do?
8. then say 3 times: Orogbo nlo o (orogbo va) and the choir will say: Apayan be accepted.
9. Launch the Orogbo!!! Now you should refer to your notes on the subjects to see what
what must be done. Note: with the Orogbo you should not ask any serious matter about the
life. The orogbo is simply a propitiatory material and to ask if you have the
blessing or approval to move forward and you proceed to ask the questions with it
I will discuss matters of greater seriousness.
10. once the Orogbo is accepted, you will automatically leave half of the orogbo to
You pour a little palm oil and Oti over Esu.
11. now you will grab your obi abata and do the same thing you did the first time around
in the same order. the only difference is that now you will only use Obi abata instead of
bitter kola.
12. The question you will ask with the Obi Abata, however, is different. You will ask:
Will I or we be in Ire in the next 5 days? Will you work from there then?

13. Special note: after you have done all the above with Esu, then you must
do the whole process again, but this time with orunmila. Esu is always favored
And they first ask Orunmila. (In the case of Orunmila, both the
