BABA EYIOGBE

+ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

This oddun of ifa is male. He is the messhia of ifa, he is called the oddun of double talk. He is the direct son of metalofin and of aiye. This is where aragba (the ceiba) became holy. Water, palm trees, spinach was formed. He is the master of breathing. Speaks of: the spinal column and the sternum, support for the thoracic cavity. The blood vessels were created and the lymph. This is where the vulture descends over the corpses. It is the beginning of everything. It represents the suns rays. The East. Speaks of will. Its ruling planet is olorun (the sun). His lucky day is oje ariku (Sunday). His favorite colors are white and orange. Baba eyiogbe alalekun moni lekun oko aya lola omodu aboshun omo eni koshe ileke rishi kamu ileke omo lori adifafun aladesheimapapaporo tinbabeledi agogo. Suyere: ashinima ashinima iku furibuyema ashinima ashinima arun furibuyema ashinima ashinima ofo furibuyema ashinima ashinima eyo furibuyema ashinima ashinima ogu furibuyema ashemenie oshemenie oshemenie Oban says: that he was like obatala and he advised him no to carry items for witchcraft. He did not pay attention and alosi enslaved him. Feed obatala and ochosi akuko and eyele. Everyone in the house must make ebo and obori. Speaks of losses and weeping. This is where obatala went out to look for oshosi in the mountain and he thought that he had no mother or father. When you see this Ifa you wet your body with aolada water and also spray it in the house, leave it for a few minutes and then wash the ile. This is where olofin left the earth because of the smoke from the bonfires that men began to make. This prohibits smoking inside the igbodun of ifa. When you see this ifa you have to spend seven days without going out onto the street, from noon until six in the evening.

Speaks of three brothers. One omo of orunmila, another of obatala and the other of yemaya. Baba eyiogbe is unlucky in love and to avoid this he has to make ebo with : eyele meta fun fun. Awa merin, osun, wfun that you take to the hillock with the ebo. Speaks of masks and blindness. Give yourself seven baths with ewe: butterfly pea (papito de la reina). You have to go by the sea shore and offer fruits to the water, asking that your steps are followed by triumph. Every two months you have to give yourself an adie for your eleda and asho aperi. Refresh the leri with a spell that you make with osun of extension and large white roses. Pray the leri with an eya bo tutu (a fresh red snapper). You cannot use striped clothing, because that will put you in jail. Marks problems with the mitral valve. Do not get involved in what that does not concern you. Do not receive or give messages to anyone. If you are not invited in, do not enter any house no matter how much trust you have, so as to avoid an embarrassment. In your house do not let your children drag themselves on the floor. There is a neighbor of yours that speaks to you only to find out about your business. In this ifa olofin wanted kofibori with juju of aikordie. Speaks of being at sea level and of its unlucky consequences. You cannot play for your own interests so that you do not get lost. Speaks of the hunter that has a bad situation because he could not hunt anything, he went to see Orunmila and ifa said to him: you have to orugbo with a cartridge belt and three arrows. Speaks of the butterfly that burnt its wings for wanting to fly before its time. Speaks of the war of the okute with the oshun, ogun and ochosi. Oshosi catches him to do justice. Oshun sentences him and ogun kills him. In this ifa olofin would stroke his head with 16 akordie, that is why they go on his adde (crown). You cannot play and be a player because you will destroy yourself and that will be your downfall. You cannot have three women, you should have one, two or four but never three at the same time. The spouse of baba eyiogbe must be a different color than yours, a defined color, white or black, never mulatto. Here there are three paths that fight: the earth, the plaza and water, because all three wished to be first, which is why an argument grew among them, and the aya the dog who heard them said: you are all fighting for fun because none of you can ever be first, since you all have the same right because if water does not fall on the earth, the earth does not produce, and there would be nothing to sell in the plaza. If there were no earth, water could not fall on it to produce. If there is no plaza the fruits of the earth could not be sold. And the water that fertilizes it. That is how the three paths became convinced and satisfied. The earth said to the dog: no matter how far you go, you will never get lost. The plaza said to him: when you

have nothing to eat, come to me and you will at least find a bone. Water said to him: if you fall in water you will never drown. And that is how they all became friends of the dog. The owner of this ifa knows that he has to make ebo before leaving the house. Ebo: akuko meyi, adie meyi, atitan ile oya, atitan erita merinatitan nigbe, atitan lese oke, atitan odo, eku, eya, epo, ori, efun, agbado..opolopo owo. A man, son of oshosi, went hunting on the onikorobgo mountain, but before that he passed by orunmilas house, who saw this ifa for him and told him: you have to make ebo for all the ei adie that you have in your ile, so you do not encounter iku. The man did not do the ebo and went deep into the woods and could not find any animals to hunt, after walking for a long while, he ran into iku and they hunted together for a while. In the end they found two ei alakaso (tiosa). And iku said to the man: you can take it. The hunter proposed that they divide them, one for each of them, but iku refused. When the hunter arrived at home, he cooked the ei alakaso and fed it to his children. Then iku arrived at the hunters house and said: I have come here because I am hungry and in isalaive orun we have nothing to eat. The hunter said: oh no, we already ate the two ei alakaso. Then iku opa the hunter and his children. Orunmila had nowhere to live, he was thrown out of everywhere, and one day he went out with oshun to see where he could live. While they were both on the seashore, oshun observed how a whale wanted to eat the macaos and she picked up her five adanes and threw them at the whale and killed it. As thanks the macaos gave orunmila their caracoles, so they would have somewhere to live. The owner of this ifa carries two macao caracoles loaded with: atitan ile, eru, obi, kola, obi motiwao, gold, silver, eku, eya, epo, agbado, bogbo ewe, aari okun. Wash them, load them and they live inside ifa. The character carried the cross and the moment arrived in which the cross weighed too much for him, and he could no longer carry it. You can no longer handle the load you have on you. Marks humility and patience. Olofin wanted to abandon the earth and sent for orunmila, but iku also appeared and not being able to make discriminations among any of his children, he subjected them to a test that consisted in spending three days without eating.

The first day went by without any difficulties, but on the second day in the evening they could not bear the hunger and orunmila was sitting at the door of his house and eshu appeared, who was the watchman who was also hungry and he asked orunmila: arent you hungry? Orunmila answered: yes, I am almost fainting, eshu said: then lets eat, and he said: I cannot do that. Ehsu said: do not worry; I will take care of it. Eshu killed an akuko and two adie, he cooked them and they both ate, then they picked up everything and sat under the shade. At that moment iku appeared, who was very hungry and weak and since she found nothing to eat she went to the garbage bins, but eshu followed her and surprised her while she was eating which is why iku lost. Careful that you are not caught by surprise doing something you shouldnt be doing. Ewo of the oddun: almond, ewe karoso (canutillo) and mangrove. When you go make ifa to your omo, put an ei gunugun inside your ifa so that you are not in danger. Light a candle for obatala for umbo ile on a fun fun plate with ei eyele, almond oil, ori, names and surnames. For this ifa the awo must always have okpele in his pocket. The owner of this ifa does not cut obi to pray the leri. Paint an obi of efun and oti and for 16 days you present it to the sky when you wake up and before you go to sleep. Then you take it to a hillock when the sun goes down behind the horizon and presenting it to olofin and your leri, beg olofin to foil destruction, embarrassment and tears. For osobo iku you make ashinima with eyele okan fun fun, give the eye to the pomegranate powder toasted with carbon. For this ifa hold onto orunmila and oshun, for which you have to make three ebo on the same day. Path of oshun and the ideu. First ebo: osiadie fifeshu, 1 guiro, eku, eya, epo, agbado, eya tutu meta. Place it on a road, return to awos house, greet elegbara, and drink water and rest. Second ebo: one jio jio, one porron of omi, 1 guiro, 1 eleguede. Note: do the same as in the first ebo. Third ebo: ounko, adie, asho aperi, 1 friderita, 1 guiro, 16 eyele, 16 vrs, of asho fun fun. Note: take it to the place indicated by ifa and the interested person then goes home. Note: when baba eyiogbe does not chose ebo, place an eel inside a washbasin with omi, add a baba with three eyele fun fun until the eel dies. Then you open the eel and give it the three eyele along with baba. The leri, elese and okokan are made iye and bind them

with eye from eleguede seeds, ewe pigweed fun fun, ori, efun, eleri from an eel. Put on this ifa and mount the inshe-osain. Spell to be promoted within government: Make a tower of cotton and inside you put the names and surnames of those that have to do with the promotion; you put oi ori and efun on it. You smear two itanas with ori and white sugar and you light them for baba next to the tower from Thursday to Thursday. Before going to that place you smear it on the iye face of an opium poppy, ashes from juju of eyele fun fun and efun. Each time that the itanas are finished your renew them. When you achieve this promotion you will fulfill your promise to obatala. To remove ogu from the stomach: Take an infusion from a rose-apple root, peonie roots and a fan from the sea. So that awo may speak ifa: Prepare an inshe-osain with a 10-cent coin. Spell for impotence: Take two nails from a door frame and cut them the same length as the penis, wash them in omiero of ewe guengere and this guengere is then eaten with salad. Make ebo tete boru and then one of the isheri (nails) lives inside orunmila and the other in ogun. To avoid problems with a godchild: Take an akuko fun fun, wash yourself with it, open its chest with the obe of pinardo, inside you put a caracole of osha washed in elegbara, a paper with the name and sign of the godchild and baba eyigbe. Put the akuko on him, at night you remove it and take it to burry it at the seashore and say: when this akuko comes out of the joro joro on its own then our friendship will be broken. To defeat the araye: Place a black plate where you paint baba eyiogbe, on top you put an igba with seven types of beverages, around these you place 16 pieces of obi with an atare for each one. Then you give adie to orunmila, one fun fun and one dun dun. The adie fun fun is the first after the plate throwing eyebale on orunmila, on the obi and on the plate. You light two itana on the plate which is where you make the spell and at the end or 16 days; you pick up everything and throw it in the corner. You save the plate and the igba for another occasion. To conquer the araye: Take three guiros with long necks, in one you throw a red ochre, in another efun and in the last one carbon from osain. You pass them through the tablero and add iyefa, you tie them with three threads and give them three adie, one fun fun, one pupua and one dun dun. The adie fun fun is given to the guiro with efun, the pupua to the one with red ochre and the dun dun to the one with the carbon of osain. Place the three guiros for elegbara and triumph is therefore guaranteed.

To improve health: With ire ashegun ota o ire aye, obotri with etu meyi, a fun fun and the other one painted. If the person is omo shango obori with aparo meyi and the eyebale should fall over shango. Spell of baba eyiogbe: In a small wooden box you put a small jar with water and sand from the river and another with water and sand from the sea and separate you put efun, ori, eku, eya, agbado. To that you give four eyele fun fun and you put the leri inside the box and on the cover you put the obi painted with efun. You place the small box under the headtablero of the bed. One a year passes after having made the spell you break the obi, you fill the small jars with the water that corresponds to it and to the inside ingredients you add another four eyele fun fun and you cover again after adding the four leri of eyele and place them over two obi painted with efun. Spell so that elegbara works: Take an igba for water and add 16 ila minced very well, add iyo of iyefa, stir with the end of the irofa praying baba eyiogbe and throw it over elegbara. For the reproach of the adeudos: Give an akuko to ogun and orugbo with this one and eran malu. You make apayeru and bind it with some iyefa of ebo, with some marigold leaves and seeds and you blow it for three days onto the street to the right and to the left from your door to free yourself from your arayes. In this ifa you place pieces of silver and gold inside orunmila. To prosper: Give adie meyi fun fun to baba, two eyele fun fun to oshun, one osiadie to elegbara and two eyele fun fun to your leri with ori, efun and you will take six baths with wild basil, pion from roses (acacia) and brickelia. With this you wash your house. Secret for ofikale trupon: Resin from a pine diluted in water on the middle finger you smear it in the womans clitoris, pray baba eyiogbe and you ofikale trupon. Cream for oko ofikale trupon: Alcanfor cream, no me olvides palo, espuela de caballero and parami, everything graded and bound. Pray oshe tura, irose fun ocura she, okana yeku, okana sa bilari, and baba eyiogbe is smeared on the glan. Oparaldo: make three on the same day: 1st: at six in the morning with: osiadie, the asho, ewe: yellow plum (yewere) marpacifico, aramo, palmogranite, almacigo, paradise, carob. All the clothes go to the river. Bathe with omiero from these ewe. 2nd: at noon.

Osiadie, oran malu, nine types of fabric, tie the meat with the fabrics to the left foot of the osiadie. Prepare omiero made of carob, pomegranate and purple basil. After the third oparaldo the interested person bathes and you pray his leri. These three Oparaldos have a variant on the same day: you begin making ebo-paraldo. You begin to make the ebo and pray the oddun omolu, and then you make the first oparaldo. He enters to bathe and when he comes out you make the second oparaldo for him, he bathes and when he comes out you make the second oparaldo, he bathes and when he comes out you finish the ebo praying the meyi until finishing it. You make the second oparaldo. He bathes and goes out to throw out the ebo and the three oparaldos. This is done with jio jio meta and eyele meta. To make an offering for obatala, through baba eyiogbe, you prepare the plate like for shango; you put the sign of baba eyiogbe, give him obi to see if he receives it and put the offering on the plate for him. Earth was so corrupted that olofin thought of destroying it, but because of his great pity he decided to give men an opportunity and he ordered orunmila to go down to earth and redeem it, orunmila annoyed answered: how do you think that I will agree to live with that corrupted humanity and that after I redeem them they will be my presentation on earth olofin tried to convince him and he spoke to him so much that in the end orunmila said: I will go down to earth and fulfill this mission, but you have to come with me. Olofin answered: alright, if you wish, but on the sixth day I will return to the heavens. This is why the supper of olofin in the consecrations of ifa is made on the sixth day and after it is finished you remove olofin from ifas room. Olofin accompanies the awo for one year after his religious initiation. Orunmila accompanies him during the first seven years and then visits you every forty-one days. The awo cannot mamu odo or ofikale trupon for idi of obini or ofikale trupon on Thursdays. The awo that oduduwa has cannot ofikale trupon with the obini on top, he is the one that has to lift her up so he does not become impotent. In this ifa the ceremony of the awan foguede was born. The omi that rubbed his eyes is to avoid the blindness that orunmila suffered in roti ifa. Eshu akueleyo: It is the monster of this ofun ifa and to prepare his load you carry out the following: place a washbasin with various caracoles and inside you put an eya eyo (eel), you wait for it to die and at that moment you give eyele meyi fun fun, the leri of those two eyele fun fun with its elese and okokan go to the load with the eya eyo (eel).

Eshu obasin-laye: This one accompanies oduduwa and lives inside an igba that you sow in the ikoko. You mount it on a cobo caracol that you wash first with omiero made of herbs from obatala and and from this ifa and from elegbara.

Give it a jio jio dun dun, whose body you destroy and bind with the dough and you wrap it in asho fun fun.

Ogbe yeku baba omolu ogbeato awo edan adifafun inashe ikuagba iworo aku kata. Olo owola tinshe ni ape, yange omo bogbo eranko lorugbo.elebo. Write this oddun of ifano on the tablero, change it for oyekun nilobe. The adans from the crown of oshun were born Marks: retaliation and ogbe yeku will be important willingly or unwillingly. Marks: theft of responsibilities. Be careful that you are not removed from the obligation you show. Be careful when expressing a judgment or opinion about a discussion or about something you are asked so you do not persecute yourself. Indicates that a person who is stuck in a corner will soon get an important responsibility. The virtue of urine was born. Just as the organism eliminates the urine from your body, you need to shed all the evil that surrounds you. Speaks of a vicious person. Control your lack of sexual control. There are delicate situations because of deceit between families. You have to touch your forehead each day with the adanes of oshun. The mother does not want her son to get married; she wants to keep him at her side, because she thinks that no one can tend to him like her, without noticing that her son or daughter already needs sexual relations. The person was not raised by his father. When this Ifa is seen by a person, if the father is not deceased, he will die within the year. You will die at an early age. If you want everything to turn out well, take care of the saints and the dead. Be careful with the law. Be careful with paper traps. Do not argue with anyone. Dominate your temper so you do not get lost. You suffer from stomach and circulatory problems. It was created when humans clean their teeth and wash their mouth after ingesting food, to conserve good mouth hygiene and good teeth. You are looking for a spouse and you cannot find him or her.

This Ifa speaks of the owunko: the person does not have a home. He sweats very hard. You digest food very slowly. You cannot drink too much liquid while eating. You like to eat salads. You are always protesting. You do not sleep much. You are nervous. This ifa marks a debt with oshun. She is angry. You live surrounded by enemies and envious people. Ewe: zapote leaves, which is from the ibeyis. While the leaves are cooking you drink them to fight insomnia. The crushed leaves that are bound by ashes kill ogun. If it is a woman she is pregnant and people say that it is witchcraft. Se likes men who are much younger than her. Here oshun did not see agayu because he buried himself in the mud of the river; she began to poke the mud with her adanes until she found him and sang as follows: eda afon shuro mi ore eda ewe eda efon agayu kaun. Osomobo mobo sodoromi yare iyalorde aba. Once when the king of ife died, the members of the court were searching for someone to name king that would not live for long. The towel vendor from the plaza found out about this problem and went to be seen by orunmila and he made him a sodde and saw this ifa for him and he made him an ebo with an owunko dun dun, bogbo asho and opolopo owo and he sent him to place it close to the palace of ife. When the old towel vendor went to place his ebo, he was seen by the members of the court and they said: that old man is the one we need as a king, so that he will die soon and then we can crown another one that will suit us better. That is what they did and they crowned the towel vendor as their king, but after he was crowned king, he enjoyed good health and governed with wisdom and the people did not want him to die and this king governed for many years in the land of ife. Someone that is in a corner will get a good position and will enjoy it for a long time. Note: the ebo of this ifa is made by putting the adanes of oshun in the leri of the interested person. Do not put malanga leaves in the ebo, instead add zapotes. Secret of the zapote to obtain things: Give eyele pintas to osain, 9 eya tutu keke. The leri, okokan and elese of the eyele, the 9 eya tutu keke, leaves and seeds of zapotes, pink iyefa, a dried pitirre of osain, to mount an inshe-osain.

It has in its load: ilekan, earth from a cemetery, from enigbe, 7 abere, afoshe of eleri of akuko and of ayapa, obi motiwao and three inkiness. ------------------------------------------------

Ogbe wee maferefun obatala aleyo umbo inadi ire umbo omo fa obe bode kino iderele adifayoko asheguida orunmila dada asho kue ki eyele, aikordie, eku, eya, epo, agbado, opolopo owo. When awo sees this ifa he turns his head to the right because death is coming and to the left because bad things are coming. Ifa of disobediences, tests, wars, deceit, work, need, discontent, betrayals, hidden enemies, etc. The person may be perverse, with bad feelings. When this ifa is seen in a maiden, give her the ikofa as quickly as possible to avoid embarrassments for the parents. If she is a maiden, be careful because she may be deceived by someone who does not not fulfill his responsibilities. You cannot trust men. Be careful of an embarrassment. The man can no longer handle his woman. Control your pride so you do not lose yourself. A woman who was a daughter of olofin will provide you with the means for her to fall in love with you and it is to take revenge on you. You can never dress in black. Do not scoff at the elderly. Do not curse. Do not become so desperate and have patience and peace in your life. You have to be careful with a changed hat, because here one works to lose the person. You saw yourself through the sea-shell. The husband and wife have to make spells. Be careful with the breaks of the machine. You are in jail, but there are two, because there is someone else involved in the mess. Ifa says that there is no one else that sees more than him. Born here was the fact that witchcraft has power over human existence. Born was the judgment of oasin with iron in the land of mandinga. Born were the glories used for necklaces. Use a necklace of orunmila made only with glories. If the mama of the awo is alive, when the awo makes ebo for him, she also has to make it. If she is deceased, give two adie to her spirit. One does not have a place in life. See what shango wants.

12

Give the leri one eyele fun fun and one adie fun fun for ire umbo. The eyele is for good luck that is coming in front and the adie is for death that is coming from behind. Make ebo with them and then you obori the interested person. You have to take care of the spirit of iya tobi for ire umbo. Here the fighting bulls were chosen. For this ifa for oshun you place an okpele, a small tablero, a pomito with iyefa and cover it with a yellow handkerchief. Born was the pierde rumbo stick. Here oshun stole the tablero from orunmila, the okpele, the iyefa and the iruke. Be careful of a godchild that has this ifa and steals an osha from you. The awo bathes at noon with: white bells and perfume. When awo goes to pray a leri with eya oro (guabina) he will ask for two for the first to pray his leri with eya oro, so he is not in danger. When orunmila would cry over not having a woman, he saw this ifa for himself who said to him: make ebo with two adie dun dun and a basket of peanuts so that you have a woman sometime this year. He made ebo and ifa told him to sow some peanuts. When the sown peanuts was ready to be collected orunmila noticed that someone was trying to steal them, and he thought it was a squirrel that would pick at the sown field to eat them and he began to watch his sown field. One day orunmila saw two young girls that would enter his sown field and begin to pick them. He surprised them while they were stealing his peanuts and they began to beg him to forgive them and not to take them as thieves. Orunmila said to them: alright, I will forgive you but on the condition that you come back to steal these peanuts because I sowed it by order of ifa, so that I may find a woman to marry. They said: if it is true that you forgive use, we prefer to unite with you before being considered thieves. Then orunmila married them both. There are two maidens together and you have to give the ikofa so they do not bring misfortune or shame for their parents. To remove araye: Get a large igba, inside you write ogbe wee, add a paper with the names of the arayes, over that a small jar with with an eko and put it next to elegbara, pray ogbe wee and give an owunko keke to elegbara, then you put everything with some iyefa in shilekun ile and a short while later it goes to the cemetery covered in asho pupua. To come out of economic hardships: Make ebo: with four eyele, scissors, oti, every day you throw the ori from the ebo over orunmila and elegbara and you ask for what you want. Ozain of ogbe wee: A muleteer, you gather the olokan and the leri, you look for the pouch of a boy, earth from the east and the west of a bibijaguero, rose wood, atare meta, kola, garbage from a whirlwind, root from a gentlemans spur, malu jar. You line it in a number of colors. Eat aparo, etu and on Fridays you blow dry wine on it.

The person is shaggy. Do not try to take that away from him because this is the gift he will need to triumph in life. Ebo: akuko, 1 sack, 1 ada, 1 clay leri. One of your enemies is dying. Here elegbara killed off the mayomberos. Ebo: fight against the mayomberos. This spell is only done for oneself, because if you do it for someone else it may cost you your life. You do this at the summit of a hillock. Three banana stumps, awado mora, toasted corn, olele ekru, are, adalu, eko, eku, epo, bogbo, ere, 7 itana, 12 balls of amala with an atare inside each one, 1 adie fun fun, 1 eyele fun fun, 1 etu fun fun, 4 balls of mud from the river. In the hillock you flatten the three banana stumps and in front of them you make a circle with efun with eight quadrants and the following oddun of ifa. Over the four cardinal points of the circle you put the four mud balls, call orun with his secret prayer: orun epa porun baba wa lo loni baba li anwa karibo mode lo oya kosi iku lo oya mode ita kose ni ita ni ile kose arun ni ile okuni ariri imeo odiguwere edi eri eri nake. And you spin around with the wood leaves that are all covered in efun. After the prayer you kill two eyele, one fun fun and one dun dun without throwing eyebale in the mud balls, you leave that there. You stand it up in front of the banana stump, you clean it with each of the ingredients and you place them over the stumps. Then you pick up the animals, clean yourself with them and give the adie to the hole on the right, the eyele to the hole in the middle and the etu to the hole on the left.

OGBE DI.

Ogbe di kaka ogbe di lele ada shasha asiko ebana adifafun ati ogun tinsho komadie oka mama eyele marun elebo. This is where shango protects the person for free. Born was the blinking action to moisten the eyeball. Born were the bad wishes, both from others to you and you to others. The arayes were born. So that the awo of this oddun does not become impotent, he has to ofikaletrupon with the obini while she is menstruating. The daughter of ogbe di lives with babalawo. Born were the virtues of lures. Here man made himself an ally of ayapa to be able to stop obatalas horse. If the mother is iku, you do something to that spirit. To give the awo of this ifa a pinnate you have to make many ceremonies so that the godfather does not get lost. Also, to pray the leri to the awo of this ifa, you have to first make ceremonies for yourself so that nothing bad happens to the officiating awo. Speaks of a young man who likes to do bad or unpleasant things to little girls in the house, which was already done to him. The young man may be arrested for a bad thing that they catch him doing and when he comes out of the reformatory he will be worse than before. So this does not occur, make ebo for the young man with an akuko, two adie, eight abere, one rope the size of his left foot, this measurement is taken with two ropes and you make seven knots on each one, one for the ebo and the other so he can put it under his pillow, so that after time passes he is not killed because of this defect. Orumila arrived in a town and was looked down on and he had to have a party with food and drinks to defeat the harshness of his enemies. For this ifa you give an abo to shango. Do not drink coffee. Born was the secret of the guinea black pepper, to pray the leri. Born was paying ones dues when gathering herbs. Ogbe di is responsible for waking orunmila: Early in the morning ogbe di arrived at orunmilas house, at six in the morning yeyematero received him and said: oshun has sent me with the job of waking orunmila. Yeyematero, carefully watching him said: then wake him. Ogbe di kneeled in front of orunmila and without touching him he prayed the prayer that oshun had given to him and taught him.

15

Prayer: ogbe di kaka, ogbe di lele adifayoko barabaniregun adifafun oshun, adifafun ogun, obini ogbe sa yeyematero afefe lo salu obolode awo loda lo inkin. Orunmila woke up peacefully and at that moment oshun and ogun knocked on the door and orunmila said: iboru, ibeya, iboshishe.? Who is that young man that knows so much? Yeyematero responded: it is ogbe di awo from the land of iyesa and from now on he will replace ogbe sa with the responsibility of waking you and will be the owner of knowledge. And since then ogbe di is knowledgeable and great and the one responsible for waking orunmila with his prayer in the morning. Bath with ogbe di: Two adie, three eyele, one sheet, rag from a mop, two obi, four itana, ori, efun, oi, ou, one change of old clothes that you wear, a change of new and white clothes, a small walking stick, an igba, oshinshin, 15 balls of gofio and oi. Ewe, orozus, white amaranth, romerillo, Cuban plantain, gold button, ivy, a white soap, a yellow soap and $ 32.00. You need two awoses to make the spell.

Ogbo roso untele ashe ebo ashe to ariku babawa orunmila akualosia, akua ebo rori orunmila isota ogbe roso untele ashe atie deku deku atie. Atie deya deya atie. Atie akuko akuko atie. Atie agbado, agbado atie, atie juju juju atie. Omolon otuarumale inkuin okua adie. Ifa of truth and lies. Here the intelligent ones fight. The person that comes to be seen says lies and when he returns to his house he will prove that all the lies he said turned into reality. This oddun does not apply to people that go to their house for a reading, because for that same reason they could annoy people in their house. Here one suffers a great impression, for which one may even lose their good health. Olofin let the children of ogbe rose govern the world, which made them invincible. If the father of the person is deceased, you have to give him and eya bo tutu nia (a fresh and large red snapper) to his spirit. Also make ebo to the son so he does not knock him down. Use a necklace of orunmila with 16 green beads and 16 yellow beads in each section. This necklace is placed on your ifa. In this ifa, orunmila eats along with inle afekeyeri, the atepon ifa goes over inle afekeyeri. In this sign there is a part where you have to add omi in the ebo. This sign is called ogbe roso of opon, since ogbe roso is seated on the tablero. In this ifa would dress with clothes made with juju from birds. When you see ifa in an atefa in this oddun, you wash each one of the awoses that are present with : eku, eya, epo, agbado and you put it in a joro joro. You have to pray the leri with a red snapper. You have to give elegbara what he wants right away, so he does not trick you. Give thanks to the spirit of your father. If he is alive, give him thanks also and be grateful for everything he has done for you in life. Take good care of your eyesight. Give thanks to shango, eshu, and to orunmila. You are a skeptic and that may cost you your life. Elegbara is standing on the corner laughing at your problem. The father that you have is not your father, your real father is dead. There is someone who is trying to harm you but is actually doing you good. Do not try to harm anyone so it does not turn into your misfortune.

17

Be very careful with bathing in the ocean so you are not attacked by a large fish. You life may be in danger. In your house there is a large revolution. So that prosperity rules, you have to change your angel. You are the son of a male saint, but the person has nothing male about him. If a woman she may be a lesbian (inverted), or have two husbands. If her husband finds her out he will kill her for being unfaithful. Here it speaks of obatalas curse, who said: whoever does harm to me, since I have not done harm to anyone, will go blind. You have to make oparaldo or a spiritual search for the person, to take away the ringleader of the obsessive eguns that disturb him. When this ifa is seen the person is captured for the saint. The daughter of olodumare went to the plaza in search of love and she deceived the one she liked. She was a very attractive and showy woman. This ifa indicates that before dying ogbe roso the egun pretends to be the leri of ogbe roso. The awo of this ifa foretells for the power of egun. To resolve problems at work: A jio jio. Go to the corner and add eku, aya, agbado, epo, oti, omi, sweets and give the jio jio. Leave the leri there with all the ingredients. Tie the ara of the jio jio with a thread from the left foot and drag it inside the house and leave it in front of elegbara and give obi omi tutu to ask what to do with it, if it goes to nigbe whole or cut into pieces. Spell for obini: You clean obinis sight with a silver coin, then you wash your face with omiero and with iyefa of the sign and the boot in the river. With this you find the luck of you own okuni, since she has your okuni but they have been materially separated for a long time. To remove ogu of shilekun ile: Make three crosses under her and write ogbe roso. Place a glass of omi over each cross and throw them out one by one each day. On the third day you add eku, eya, epo, agbado. Clean the awo with eyele fun fun and give ogbe roso over the signs that are under the crosses and you make a cross behind shilekun of ile with the eyebale of the eyele, you add oi to it and cover with juju and leave it all like that for three days. Then you clean them all and throw them out. To distance ashelu: Place oshosi on a plate and behind the closed door you place a lighted itana, paint the floor ogbe roso, give obi omi tutu to oshosi. Give an eyele to oshosi, which you then cut with the knife from the maw down and you place it open over oshosi. You ask where it goes and how he wants it. Orunmila ordered the cockroaches to make ebo so they could see, they did it and their eyes came out.

18

Then orunmila ordered them to make ebo so they would not dress the same but they did not do it. When olofin gathered the animals they were embarrassed because olofin did not know which cockroaches were female and which were male since they all dressed the same. Eshu wonke: This is the eshu of lies. He has three faces and one load for each face. Load of the first face: ivory, eru, obi, kola, osun, orogbo, tiger fang, spur of akuko, iyefa. Load of the second face: eru, obi, kola, osun, orogbo, 7 caballero beans, 7 atare, 7 Chinese atare, copey leaves. Load of the third face: quicksilver, aari okun, ilekan, earth from four paths. This eshu is mounted or molded over an ota from the river and the base is a chest of ayapa. Before washing it you give it three sparrows, you add dried leris and lined with beads of elegbara. You light three wicks or lamps for this elegbara, one for each face. Each time you feed eyebale from any animal you first have to feed him three jio jio, one for each face. You are a fortune teller. A family member drowned in the sea. You are being watched so as to betray you. Akuko to egun immediately, and also a large red snapper to orunmila. Inside your ifa put one of the main wings and one o the lateral wings, you then dry this. It is to conquer. ----------------------------------------------

Ogbe wale ago eni ibeberu ke okuni pawo ayawala ayawala eto ayawala osi mokunlo mokunlo wale koto wale to oun beleno eto eto. For this ifa when you give eure to orunmila, you feed a piece of liver to a dog. You cannot work after six in the evening, because you will be scooping water with a basket. Be careful of false testimonies. Look for a way that no one knows your weaknesses, so they are not revealed in public. You suffer a lot because of your children, because they are not what you expected of them. If you are a woman be careful not to fall into prostitution. Your husband is cheating on you with another woman. This sign signals that the persons projects are always up in the air, he has useless dreams. The person lives the way he wants and does not listen to advice and he has to be left alone so he can acquire experience in life, given that in this ifa no one is considered, only he thinks he is important. Ogbe wale because of his ways he ends up alone in his social and religious life. All of his consecrations are lazy. Marks war inside his own home.

Marks: warning: burning and pain at the base of your feet, you suffer from bad eyesight. Cancer of the bones, of the heart. In this ifa the tile of egun was created. That is why this oddun of ifa has to be written in the atena of egun and of the oparaldo. You have to feed all the ebora egguns (all the dead). In this ifa was where oshun ate adie for the first time. Here obatala granted the scorpian power at the end of its tail, giving him the needle and the poison. The scorpion was not satisfied and wanted obatala to give him wings, and obatala refused. Here the adie wanted to hatch duck eggs over the clothesline. The awo of this ifa has to receive: ashikuelo, osain, swear in orun, receive oduduwa and olofin. With these powers ogbe wale affirms himself over the earth. (Path of the five stones of the crown) Eshu arerebi oke: This eshu is of ota of the hillock, that you look for in a long shape and you cement it in an ikoko like a friderita and you decorate it with beads of elegbara and the crown with beads of orunmila.

Also bathe with omiero from breadfruit leaves and an egg white. If you have olokun change his vat. Ifa of things that are hidden.

Speaks of the eyele dying when you squeeze its chest. Indicates sickness to the chest. This oddun in ituto is favorable. When this ifa is seen for a sick person it indicates that the person is dying, because just as the ewe alukerese (ivy), that lives stuck to humidity, that person will live in humidity, it is the grave. Born was the fact that birds feed their young by vomiting in their beaks. The jar that loses its bottom does not retain liquids. A woman that can fail without getting married. Be careful of people in love that are on the street, because they do not really know who you are. You suffer from ear problems, do not disregard this because it could be serious.

Here the quail and the parrot were jealous of the flamingo and declared war on him, he went to see orunmila and this ifa said to him: you will defeat your enemies thanks to the way you walk and your eloquence, but you cannot deify. The flamingo was able to defeat his arayes. Here the grimace made when talking was created. Here there is an egun that speaks in your ear.

OGBE KANA.

Ogbe kana, ogbe karan lordafun obatala odafun shango ni moti alamoni alakosi moni yeun ogun babare. Orunmila lorubo. Speaks of oduduwa that for letting himself be dominated by eyiogbe he was crucified. Do not let yourself be dominated by anyone so you are not discredited. Do not pick up sick animals in the house, or pick anyone up in your house so you do not harm yourself. It was in this ifa where the oshas were trying to annoy obatala. He went to be seen with ifa, who told him: you have to make ifa and he answered: with what money, orunmila prayed the leri for him with 16 leri of eya tutu and put food in the garbage of the house. Baba made 16 balls of ishu and put them in the garbage in an igba. After 16 days when he went to bring them to the river he ran into elegbara who gave him a sac of owo. Then obatala received the hand of ifa. If you carry the sign like you are supposed to you will not have to work in life. You have to dress in white, because your happiness is in white clothes, be careful of air currents, because a lung congestion will kill this person. You have to bathe with zazafras, almacigo, ceiba and bitterbush. Then obori with fruits, different osho. Great war and to win it take out shango for six days to the yard, put an asia pupua on him.

Speaks of hidden diseases that come out suddenly. Of hidden enemies that work under under. To resolve it you have to give eya tutu to shango at the foot of araba. Here yemaya had her power taken away of governing the land and she had to return to the sea where she became powerful again, because the reefs where saelo lived, protected her form the arayes of the land. The awo of this ifa has to always put a piece of reef for the ebo. The person likes to masturbate. Marks the cover of spirits that want to take you before your time and against your will. That is why you make ebo with: corn, bogbo ere, an adie, asho area and $24.00. Send it to the cemetery. Make oparaldo with the adie. The woman has to orogbo so that the damage does not reach her womb and destroys the embryo and so she can conceive.

24

If you are a man your woman is leaving you, do not go after her, since this is the osobo of this ifa. You have to make ifa, because this is where the secrets of the atepon ifa and of the irude were born. Orunmila does not want the awo to make profanes, but only ifa since ogbe kana is babalawo nato. This oddun is to resolve work problems. Place a toy horse for the guardian angel. Take care of sharp pains since here it speaks of tetanus. Place a prickly pear behind the door.

When the war among the humans began, Olofin, in order to end the war, sent different orishas to the earth so they would fix it but they all failed the mission. After the failure of the orishas, olofin looked for orunmila and entrusted him with the mission of going down to earth to redeem it from envy, evil, jealousy, theft, etc. Orunmila said to him: alright baba, I will go down to earth to fulfill your mission, but as long as I cannot redeem it I will not mount into the head of any child, olofin answered: to iban eshu. This is why orunmila does not mount on the head of any omofa ni awo. This ifa marks venereal diseases and its fatal consequences in human nature. You do not have any children and are living to live. The woman does not feel happy with the man that she has. Someone in your house is cursing. You have to yoko osha to your woman. Raise a goat which you raise spoiled and once in a while take it out for a walk tied to a rope. You cannot act as a guarantor or as a witness for anything, for which you should not get involved in anything bad. You should not be in groups. Sit next to orunmila to sing and you will then have money.

Oyekun biroso awo oti olofin tulo shawo sadu merin eti owo iwoko, ebeyo ala, ori, bogbo interi aye kurbo otibe eyele abo interi iku. Here was born the reason shy Saint Lazaro does not wash with omi and why the children of saint lazaro have to have agayu and be born with orishaoko, so that they may live well and why the ibeyis are born. Born were white feet and the fallen metatarsus. Born was the call of all beings. For orunmila you place a gong, a drum and a rattle. Marks a dispute between two brothers, because they both want the same thing, the eldest must let go of the matter so that they reconcile. This is where oduduwa sits on the throne of olofin. The awo of this ifa will lose his mother and his ifa sign will shadow that of his grandfather. It is ona orun: path to the cemetery. The sick person cannot rise, there is certain death. If he rises he is sentenced to die anyway in a short while. The persona has problems with his sperm (he cannot reproduce). The secret of lucifers curse on mud. The pact of iku and abita. Marks quarrels. Diseases, shortages. Intori iku: the sick person does not rise from his bed anymore. Marks gossip and slander. The person is worried about his deplorable state of health. He finds himself weakened. As if drugged, overwhelmed. They want to ruin oyekun biroso at his work. Marks: anemia, general weakness of the organism, kidney problems, heart problems, infections in general. In woman it marks: a lazy womb, to take care of her breasts. In this ifa is when iku comes to get the person. Give charity to the poor. Hang a doll made of black rags behind the door. This is where face scars were created. Oparaldo: Make oparaldo on the person while he sits on an apoti (chair) with candles behind him, obi, ahso dundun, funfun and pupua, an adie, ewe, cotton, Granada, carob, he bathes with the same ewe and then obori with what orunmila indicates. This oparaldo is done in the house, at the place where the person always sits, since iku goes there. For this ifa when the person has in his ikofa or awofaka oyekun biroso and is omo of oshas warriors of the mountain, he goes with his godfather to the river and there he bathes leaving half of this clothes and whatever the river picks up, the oluwo makes him

This is where it speaks of the malignant spirits of azowanu. This sign is used to kill with azowanu. Before seven days you have to give owunko to elegbara, look for an ota and toast a piece of hide of the owunko to mount an inshe-osain, so the person may have peace. Marks the suffering of obatala because on the earth ayere lekun lived awo fare unconcerned of what was happening there and he also did not take care of elegbara. So that awo oyekun juani is large you have to give elegbara an owunko and an akuko every year and then you spread it among different places. Always have a piece of hide of owunko of elegbara in your house. Refresh elegbara with seven of your main herbs. For this ifa you have to receive elegbara in a hurry, if you have it you have to see in what conditions you have it, because it may be abandoned. Here if the saints are abandoned, the person will lose everything. Here the old owunko and the young owunko speak. When the young billy goat grows it will confront the old goat. The woman that has this ifa seen for her in a reading has to be given ikofa immediately. If it is a man he has to make ifa or else there is a greater cause that prevents him. Take care because you may be hit with a lumber until you are dead. Orunmila is the only one who can save you. Speaks of a woman or of a man that lives with another person that is engaged and that persons spouse will go to your house to complain and there will be a tragedy that will bring suffering, lack of respect, blood and justice. Do not let anything sit at the door of your house and especially not women. You onle have one wish in your life, to have children and so you can have them without it being the cause of your death you have to make ebo. For this ifa the person does not spare any effort to achieve what he thinks is the best for his life and happiness, although in that effort he may lose his own life. For okuni: never doubt the paternity of your children and do not abandon any of them so that you do not lose your good luck. Never try to separate your children from the warmth of their mother because if you do, when those children grow up and begin to learn about life, they will abandon you and will throw all the bad you did to them in your face and will disown you for life. See how you are raising your children, because here one dies of regret and sadness after being abandoned by his children.

Place your guardian angel so that you may be happy or so he helps you obtain what you desire. This oddun takes the dead spirit of the awo from the shadows. The awo of this ifa has to put a lamp at the head of his bead when he goes to bed, so that light keeps watch over the trip of his spirit that is imprisoned during sleep. For this ifa you always run the risk of having a child of oshun becoming tied up for life, because their selfishness is bad.

The person has two lovers and one of them puts evil things on his door to ruin his household. There is a spell buried at his door or yard so that he does not raise his head.

Then you burn them and make them into iye to blow when you have difficulties. Prohibits drinking alcoholic beverages, since when the person is under its effect, he says very hurtcul words. When Olodumare created the world, he left Olokun without defining him that is why some say that he is a woman and others say that he is a man and in reality no one knows for a fact if he is man or woman. Born here was the wine harvest (the picking of the Grape and making of the Wine). Here the person stays in extasis, with a blank mind. This sign in an ssode sends you to go crazy and have prendas. Place a coconut with water and an atana for Egun. In this Oddun you have to Kofibori but walking in the room that Kofibori with eyele. To overcome difficulties sleep with fila pupua (red hat). You have to reinforce Ogun because he is missing a piece. The Godfather does not give Ogun to the godson, he is the one that has to pick it up off the floor.

When you see this Ifa you cannot kill animals in the house before fifteen days. Do not do anyone any favors because they will not be grateful. You have to be careful with the sea because you could drown, or someone can push you so you drown. Here Olokun wanted to take hold of the entire extension of the earth and Obatala let him know that he could not do that, because where were his Omo going to live. This is where the war between the dog and the rabbit occurred and they both lived in Obatalas house.

You have to be careful of a betrayal by a person that is with you. Once two Awoses ran into each other, one was from the sky and the other from the earth. After speaking for a while, each one chose their path. You were talking for a while with someone that you ran into on your route. That is a dead person that walks around. Olofin was sick and Orunmila made him ebo with Ayakeke, and killed it for Ogun. Then the sickness stopped. Orunmila says that he fights injustices. When the aleyos do not go to the Awos house and the Oshas are calm, hail the east three time, then hail Elegbara, Orunmila nad Bogbo Kaleno Osha. FOR IKU UNLO: Give an ounko keke to Elegbara and bathe with crotos. Place sweet wine for Orunmila and Oshun. Measure the range of your words when you answer people to avoid wars.

Marks debts with Shango and with Oshun that you have to pay as soon as possible. If a man, he is somewhat impotent. You have to respect your elders. The owner of this Ifa has little faith in the Saints and Orunmila and even abandons them, since although he conserves them, he does not work with them, forgetting the oath he made before Olofin.

The Spell: Orunmila opened a joro joro in Ohika, put in Elegbara gave in his leri eyebale of eyele meta, and sang: LAYERE AWANI LODE YANLAE, ESHU MOWANI LORUN. Then Orunmila lighted seven itana around the joro joro and covered it with aari ekun; he threw the ara of the eyele in the ocean, and took their leri, to prepare an Ishe-Osain for Eshu Mowani Lorun next to Shango, Oduduwa, Osain and Orun, so he will always carry him. Seven days later Orunmila returned to that spot, took out Elegbara, bathed him with omi okn, ewe and eyebale of osiadie. Then, along with Elegbara, he kneeled down in front of Shango, Oduduwa, Osain and Orun, and asked them for forgiveness and then fed them both. Orun said to him: But my food has to be after making Oparaldo for Elegbara. Then Orunmila along with Shango, Oduduwa, Osain and Orun swore those secrets to Elegbara so that he would only do good deeds. The Awo of this Ifa must swear those secrets. Make ebo to the sea with: An akuko and the Awo make ebo on himself with eight juju of aikirdie and opolopo owo. When you see this Ifa, you mount an Elegbara on the person, putting his mouth and eyes of corojos.

There kofibori and dress with new clothes. This is where Awo may and must attend to the Adodi and persons with defects that arrive at your house and save them, but only until Awofaka or Ikofa. The secret of this Ifa is that the two hands of the Ifa of the owner live together, not separated and should always give them adie mayi dun dun at the beginning of the year and attend to Obatala very much. For Awo: Receiving Odun is of vital importance in this Ifa. You will get good luck because of a woman.

This Oddun is the funeral. Be careful with news of the deceased. You should not open your door quickly. In woman it marks personal abandonment. The person takes attributions without having the power to do so. Do not be curious and do not put your hands where you should not, or you might injure them. If a woman she is pregnant and they are throwing witchcraft on her so that her belly does not grow. You have an Egun araye that lives with you, that is why you have not taken care of your appearance. You have to make Oparaldo on him to remove him from you. You have failed at your marriage because of carelessness in your appearance and in your marital obligations. You have to make Oparaldo and ebo to clean your path, make Osha and attend to Egun, so that when you attain happiness again, you do not lose it again. You have to receive Elegbara, and the young woman who passes by where you go has to receive Ikofa so she may marry and be happy. When there is Ogu in the ile you wash it with ewe: Sage, basil, pion de botija, ginger, for three days straight. For Elegbara you put an Ishu smeared in epo. The person bathes with sea water, river water, verdelaga. Pick up an ishu and cut it half, take out the heart and put in the general information of the arayos, smear the lids with epo, close it and place it for Elegbara. You have to be careful with the person that you chose as Godfather or Godmother, since there will certainly be tricks against the Aleyo.

Here if you do not take care of Obatala, the person keeps suffering adversities and sickness. You have to put a mat at the door. Here you give a Goose in the leri, before you put juju in the leri and more than ever Eleda can put nothing on, First make ebo with the goose. Here Oluwo-Popo was crowned.

Ifa ni maferefun Oshanla lodafun Oya. Maferefun Osain, Elegbara ati Orunmila. Marks deceit by the man during the marriage engagement. Take good care of yourself because someone will not fulfill his promise. You have three Arayes. She is attached to her husband and one of the arayes has grains in his feet. Your Elegbara is missing something or you have not attended to him very well. Your enemies live close to your house. Your enemy eats with you, likes to talk and is an informer. You have to hold onto Obatala. Be careful with tragedies due to gambling since there may be a death. Pray with a dog that you have or will bury at your house. While you do not make the Ebo; tie the dog with a chain and go out onto the street with him, and when you are far away from the house, you let him go, so that he can return while dragging the chain. Be careful with a betrayal, because they are trying to persecute you with your planted seeds (your godchildren) so that they do not go to your side. Do not be envious or greedy or try to prevent other from succeeding. Do not trouble yourself and be careful with candles. There are people who wish to see you poor and needy so they may take advantage of you. Because of you your woman has lost her luck and that is why she wants to leave you. Oshun says not to cry that she will accompany you, and to take care of a betrayal. An older person gives you advice and you do not attend to them and that is why you fail often. Respect your elders. Do not be stubborn so that you do not tire and lose. Try not to have bad moments because you may die or suffer from bad health. You wish to know everything and it is bad to want to know other peoples business. There is a young lady who is already a maiden and is hiding it and when she is found out there will be a big scandal, tell her not to steal from her boyfriend. Be careful with blood diseases and with false reproduction. People are throwing evil powders on your door. Do not eat salty or spicy foods. Go see what Oshun wants. If the sick person that is in your house does not make Ebo he will die.

Obara Meyi Onibara Olabara eyebara kikate Awo komakate araye komakate Ara Orun adafun bogbo orofo lorubo bogbo tenuyen kokoro. This sign is male, son of Olofin and of Anashe. Obara Meyi means: Two Kings. Born were riches, jewelry, children. Obara Meyi is the head of the earth. It is knowledge. This is where the Egbado went to the land of Congos in search of witchcraft of prendas. Speaks of an Eggun that has Prendas buried in a place in the country and wishes for you to take them out and revive them. This is where woman likes Mamu Oko. Do not eat corn flour in any form. In Obara Meyi Shango defeated the Arara. This Odun expresses strength and male roughness. Here you give dog to Osain. This Ifa sign punishes the disloyal Apeveti with death. You have to attend to Egun, Orunmila and the Saints. This is where the cat became the servant of Orunmila and Obatala. The dead who speak are from the country, you have to hold parties for the ancestral Egguns and family members. Born were masters and the teaching chain. False currency was created. This is where umbrellas and flags were created, where the latter was to make ebo. This oddun of Ifa is very difficult to explain, because of its transformation and difficult conversation that it brings. Speaks of betrayal, confusion and insecurity. It is an Oddun of loss of prestige and misgovernment. Your conversation is unfortunate and a little uncomfortable. Speaks of deceit at home, of which the person does not have friends and should not think that his things are from resolutions, since with him good and evil are founded. In this Oddun is where you invent depending on personality and that your spouse is surely cheating on you and you have done more than necessary things or vices with respect to sexual relations. Here, what the person does not do in his house with his spouse he does it on the street with his lover. In this Ifa you dream with something you have not yet attained. When the woman is with her husband, dreams of another man, she is too passionate and she acts as if she does not feel that with her husband. If a man, he acts cold with the woman and they will certainly separate, since for not hitting her or killing her, he decides to leave. This Oddun is about weeping and sorrow, it is an Oddun of great tragedies. Your children are resentful, cheaters and are not frank with anyone. In this Ifa is where for the first time the dead person made use of the live person, to show itself and save the world. Born here was the reason why the Awo dances and agrees to the dance of the Atena with death. Here things that are true are well done and things and lies that are not.

WHEN OBARA MEYI IS SEEN YOU MAKE THIS SPELL: Even when this Oddun marks Ire, he does not have it, since here it speaks of all the good and evil in the world and to avoid the latter, you take an eko and spoil it in omi, mark Baba Eyiogbe in the middle of the atepon Ifa, to the right Obara Meyi and to the left Obara Boge; pray these signs and you throw the iyefa in the oko with omi and spray it all over the house. Then over that sprayed water you throw raw amala with beaten ila. Continue with the reading and then sweep everything out to the street. SECRET OF THE ODDUN: Aloko fun fun, an eyele, seven igbin, three ota, a porron with omi ibu, aari, three eya tutu keke, three hooks, one small jar with eku, eya, epo, agbado, oi, oti.

In Obara Meyi Shango speaks and ordains, but it is the Oddun of lies and betrayal. Do not sleep on doing things, in case it may be too late when you decide to do them. EBO: Three caimito leaves, one of yagruma, one akuko, asho dun dun, nine osiadie, aparo, etu, ofa, igui, leri of eya, tutu meyi, oku, eya, epo, inle erita merin, ilekan, malaguidi , ila amala, agboran, one mamey, one tongue, ewe dun dun, toi (Oti), opolopo ewo. NOTE: Take the tongues of the 9 osiadie and bury them at the foot of a shrub of jobo with amala ila. With the ewe you make omiero and give eyebale of etu and of eyele and throw it on Baba and on the leri of the interested person you add the ewe umbebolo. When this Ifa goes out twice in a row, it speaks of all the good and all the evil. Ruin an eko in water and spray it all over the house and over raw and beaten amala ila. Give an abo to Ogun or if not an ayapa tiroko. When and Omo Shango wants Owo, he picks eleguede seeds, dries them and makes them iye and binds them with eku eya, epo and ogbade, he throws it in a small bag and carries it on his person. The womanizer, so that women do not forget him, must wash his oko with oti and cinnamon on the branch. Before using it he prays to Obara Meyi. TO OVERCOME DIFFICULTIES: Place three small jars behind shilekun from the ile with water from the pila with azufre or gunpowder, one with muddy water and vegetable carbon and the third with water from the pila and salitre. Place a large bell on Elegbara which you wash with plenty of Abaalu (coconut cogollo). TO RESOLVE SITUATION: A tongue cooked with quimbombo that you place over Shango.

This is where the pashanes consecrated themselves. When it rains go out to the yard, look at the sky and open your mouth until it fills up with rainwater, then blow outward and upward so that the water comes out three times and as for what you wish. Here Obatala looked down on the earth. Obatala looked down on the earth because the yam was born in the air and Obatala almost died, because the guides of the yam invaded the entire house and would not let him live; until Elegbara arrived and resolved the problem because he liked yams. To conquer difficulties and appease the arayes: Ifa orders you to give a tambor to your guardian angel. This is an Ifa of failure. When the awo sees him he gives obi omi tutu to Shango and before three days pass he gives a pollon to Elegbara. If he sees Aleye efun (white person) it is even worse. In this Ifa exile was born, since here Shango had to go into exile in other lands and his supporters suffered vexations and other types of adversities. Note: IF THROUGH THIS PATH THE PERSON GOES INTO EXILE OR GOES TO LIVE ABROAD, HE WILL DIE THERE. The person who is the owner of this Ifa has ashe to make Ifa and everything he does comes out well, but he has a brother who he is related to by blood or religion who is envious of him and dislikes him, and always tries to destroy him and does not spare any effort to make him look bad or be ridiculed, with the aim at making him lose his luck. Plus you will be accuses of being fake, of having bad intentions, of slandering, but your spiritual protections will destroy all that wickedness of which you are a victim. Here the person, for lack of faith in Orunmila and before making the spells of this preparation, comes out with other people to find out if it will give him results and because of his lack of faith he may greatly persecute himself and he will make the spell with the Awo with difficulty that he indicated for him. For this Ifa you have to satisfy Elegbara very much, since he has been the one to free you from many betrayals.

The Awo has to have a small jar next to Elegbara that is full of coins and Orunla must always have yams.

Crush eri atare mesan and the peel of ei adie and smear it on your body. Carry raw agbado and when you reach to point of leaving you spray it for good luck.

Eat Osain and use hanging in a visible place. SPELL: An elenu of ounko that you cut in half, put on the name of the opposite one, add everything used for this case and chalk with ou dudu and pupua. Nail it into a tablero, add alcohol and a bright light, then place in front of Elegbara and pray to him. Then you ask where it is to go. SPELL AT THE FOOT OF OSAIN OR ELEGBARA: Three fabrics in each one of the ota with the name of the person, give them eyebale of jutia. Bury one at the foot of a shrub, one in the sea, and the other in the river or in the cemetery. Chalk it with ou dundun, another with ou funfun and another with ou pupua. At every three atare with iye of amansaguapo, caimito, pierde rumbo, conquerer and change voice. Ebo: Akuko, an aya of pintas carmelitas, inzo from a tiger, ab abiti asho area, eku, aya, apo The dog of pintas carmelitas is carried by the interested person for his house where he takes care of it and raises it until he loses it or it dies. Then he cannot have any more dogs for the rest of his life because if he does he persecutes himself. This is applied in Atefa Ikofa and Awofaka. What you are coming to find out you already knew before coming. There are many people fighting with you.

You have a dog that knows a lot, take good care of him so he does not get lost or killed, that dog may save you from death during a dangerous moment. You are in love with a woman and as soon as you touch her she will become pregnant. You are a selfish person and have money hidden and you are the only one who knows where it is and you deny it to your family, be careful to die and your children and the wife cannot enjoy that money and a stranger makes away with it and benefits from it.

When the Awo does not remember the Oddun Toya when making ebo, the one from the reading will pray: ODDUN ELEDUN OLORUN ELEDUN ASHO RISA OSODE ORUNMILA ODUN TOYALE LOKUERI IFA MOKUN. For this Ifa you give two etu at the feet. Obari and placing Shango at the back. The awan of Olokun was born. Do not light the ends of itanas when you light two itanas because they cannot finish at the same time. Give a bird to Osain. You have to have Oduduwa, Pinado and more than 10 years of consecration in Ifa, to make ebo for this Ifa. Awo should not make ebo from this sign for an elder Awo because the leri changes, if he is Osobo even less and if the letter marks Iku he still cannot make it for an Aleye without first asking Orunmila. Ebo carries an adie jabada (essential) and it is not killed, you leave it at the house of the sick person. Place yam with epo to Eshu and yam with ori to Baba. This is where Orunmila and Shango were Paleros and carried gun powder and things for prendas, and they had to leave them. This happened in the time that the square tablero wanted to be more powerful than the circular Tablero, and when Arufin (he originates Shango) and Arudda (Orunmila); the assassin, they asked Olofin for forgiveness and they promised him to do misdeeds and they promised not to make any more misdeeds and vindicating themselves, they kneeled before Olofin and he forgave them. Okana Yeku has a special Okpele that after the righ foot is washed he eats etu, which you bury and the left foot eats akuko and eyele, which go to the foot of a yagruma a shrub. Here the rage of the saints was born. Be careful with death. Do not find out about rumors or curse someone because God punishes that. Be careful with your enemies. Be content with what God gave you, because there are people in much worse situations than you. Do not withhold food from anyone that comes to your house. You have a big quarrel with your spouse or vice versa. You belong to a religious institution that are many but are also divided. Feed the dead and a toque for three days. Place a flag on your ile. All the Saints are Angry. You have

211

powder on you and you have to loosen it. There is witchcraft in between. If you do not make Ebo you will be arrested. EBO SO THAT TRAGEDY IS NOT REVIVED: Akuko, ishu salcochado, opolopo epo and put on Elegbara and on Baba you put ei Adie with ori and efun.

For this Oddun the right that is asked for people through spells, is increased to 6 pesos, because here Eshu became the banker of the awo. Those 6 pesos are placed for Eshu. This is where the earth was created or its formation was born. Shango frees you from the claws of ashelu. Be careful with a child that may turn you into the law or tells your spouse about your incidents. Give awo to Shango and then a tambor, so that you get good luck. The egg has a chick inside, whether dead or alive. Obini is lost because of a merchant. Someone has stolen her money. She wishes to tie up her Okuni. It says that the person has gun powder on them, hangs around or works with him. Has protection from Congo. He has money saved to do a spell for any deceased person or Saint, respect him and do not waste it on something else. Because you may be arrested or suffer an adversity. Give thanks to Shango, who is avoiding that you get arrested. You are running away from a person who is looking for you, make ebo so that a child does not discover you. You are attached and ther is witchcraft involved. Attend to the dead. You will inherit a sum of money. Be careful with candles and do not think about killing yourself. Your body decomposes often. Take care of your kidneys and stomach. Do not eat food that was put back. You are a skeptic and believe in your way. If you do not take care of the Saints, nothing of yours will be resolved. You like to quickly look at the things that are done to you. Speaks of a child that is a traveler, you have to attach him so he does not go. Speaks of deformation of the womans belly. Oshun, after having given birth many times, saw that her belly and body was becoming deformed and she went out crying on the road and began to stroke her belly with different ewe, until she did it with a guira, but when this one was used the seeds would sound inside and that noise annoyed her. Further on Oshun ran into eleguede, caught it and rubbed it over his belly many times, and he recovered his shape. TO STROKE THE STOMACH OF THE OBINI THAT BECOMES DEFORMED: Take the measurement of the belly with five silk ribbons, throw oi on an eleguede, place the five ribbons inside and pray to Oshun. The woman lives with complexes because her stomach becomes deformed.

Here it speaks of Yemaya Mayelewo, who was the wife of Orunmila and then a merchant. She is the one who uses a mask, nine different colors and lives in a jar, eats all types of animals and you place an Okpele for her. She lives in the middle of the ocean where the seven universal water currents pass. Speaks of the movements of the Earth and of the seven currents of fresh water that is found at the bottom of the sea. For this Ifa you obtain riches and material wellbeing but you are fatal in love. You have to take good care of your eyesight. You cannot drink water that is stored in jars and even less putting your mouth on the jar to drink it directly from it. You cannot eat any type of crustaceans or animals that recoil. Make ebo enough times so you do not fall. Always have an ekuekueye in your ile and do not kill rats or cockroaches. Be careful with your friends because you may have someone as a favorite friend and he may be a trator. It prohibits eating food that is old and overheated. Aruye, Fright was born. Receive Inle Abata to free yourself from betrayals. You may be traveling outside the country. The owner of this Ifa must be well identified with the Egguns, because they save him daily, whether family or protective Eguns. Count on Elegbara so that he maintains the paths open and for firmness and health receive Inle with Ita. Here it speaks of the three Obini of Orunmila: The Lizard, The Spider and The Cockroach. You will get sick from lack of care because of a sharp pain. Luck arrives at your house but does not come in; for it to enter give Orunmila adie meyi dun dun along with three isheri (nails), The adie, eyebale, eru, kola, obi moriwao and bury it at your door. Here you obtain a position and riches but not love. In this Ifa you have to make Oparaldo because there are perturbations. Ask what to make it with. And you always do it before the ebo. The ebo has castilla reed.

215

Here the Etu found herself alone and bored and did not even have where to sleep and Orunmila told her to make ebo so she could resolve all her problems. This path marks: Solitude and boredom and orders the person to get married and have a family so she may be happy, but also advises her to be reserved in her things, so that her enemies will not be able to persecute her.

Born here was the Cancer of the Obinis Breasts. Do not allow anyone to bite them and avoid hitting them. The formation of the fetus was created. The parents support the fetus and his hereditary characters, but jointly responsible for the future happiness or unhappiness of his descendents, which confirms the reason why in a marriage when peace and tranquility rein the Fetus in the woman obou develops evenly balanced physically and is a balanced person for the rest of his life. If on the contrary the couple lives with constant problems, fights and lack of emotional stability in the future mother, the Fetus develops physically unbalanced because of the nervous tension experienced by the mother and will be a weak person, with a bad attitude his whole life. Ifa of curses. The Ebo goes to the top of the hillock. Speaks of Usurpation. Volcanic Eruptions. The Eggus and the misery of the world was born because of a curse by Olofin. It is an Ifa of war.

Give Olokun a one-eyed akuko and take all the colors in ashode with eko, eya, epo, agbado, oi, oti, and seven bells to the known place. Someone turns one-eyed for seeing you blind. In the Land of the Blind the one-eyed person is King. Give Osain a one-eyed akuko and then a normal akuko from the leri of the interested person toward osun. Ewe of the Oddun: Atiponla and bitter broom. This is where the war of Atiponla occurred and the bitter broom. Where the bitter broom grows atiponla does not prosper and vice versa. Because of the above is that Sotosojuka (Saint Lazaro) lives in the corners, that are at the angle of two walls. Akiomde (Shango) lives wandering. When the framboyan blooms its flowers announce misfortunes, epidemics and especially the death of children. Orunmila says to the Awo; No matter what land you visit, do what you see fit and do not begin to mend the world, because the world cannot be fixed by anyone. PRAYER AGAINST MISERY

This is done because the enemy is invited to eat over to try to neutralize him. The Gandio does not argue with the cook. Here it speaks of Eshu Alayiki (The Glutton). Here Eshu Alayiki got tired of jicoteas (turtles). Born here was the great faith in elegbara to resolve problems. Born was that Elegbara eat ayapa and that Shango be sprayed oti on him.

Certain times he had to be absent because of his business, he aked a friend named Elo Ire to take care of his women because he had to be away for three months. The friend accepted but five months went by and Arosiyen did not come back.

From the unyen of the day you take a small amount and take it to the cemetery and put it over an abandoned grave and ask the dead person to accompany you. For Elewa you put three balls of ishu, (yam), meat and eko. This is for good luck. Grab a yam and stuff it with bo bo tenunyen and place it for Egun, then for all the saints until you get to Orunmila and you keep it over him for sixteen days. The Awo of this Ifa cannot hit the top of the table, because the dead will respond and appear. You have to make three ebo for ire and Umbemi and take them to the plaza. For Orunmila you place an okpele of bitter guiro and a guataca which the Awo has to guataquear and sow. Place 16 ila (quimbombo) to the Ikofa so that Obini kosher Abiti (so that the husband does not catch her cheating on him). TO GET RID OF THE JARS. A gandinga of elede (pork) or of malu (beef) complete with its tongue, cook it and serve it on two plates with eko and place it for Ogun. Take it to the railroad and break the two plates and throw oti over them. Then you take two leaves of itamorreal to cook them and eat them in the food. You cannot eat meat from four-legged animals or from birds during seven months. When the Awo is hitting cans and they catch him in the act, make ebo and mount an inshe ozain with bat shit, a tooth of aya filani (Chinese dog), ivory, leri of etu, aparo, akuko, ekue kueye, palo oi (orozus), hair and skin from the chest of the abo, a large arrow, 7 U bullets that you throw with oshosi saying: Tolo Tolo Eban Eka. Gather some of this and bind it with purge honey, oi and oi from the earth. Give it to the man so that he eats and smear some on his chest. For the woman to eat, but without adding oni, since they have too much tongue and they find everything out. If the man hs to go swee the offended on nothing will happen to him. When this ifa appears in Atefa or Ikofa for him you put three dolls carved in wood with its arms stuck to its body, to Elewa in his ikoko, after washing them with omiero and they eat an osiadie. For elewa you also put three tobaccos chalked with threads of dun dun and pupua. For osobo you have to make three oparaldos. First oparaldo: Eyele, igba inside which you paint Otura-nico and Ogunda Biode, 1 obi, 1 itana, asho dun dun and fun fun, eku, eya, perfume, ewe, etc.

You have to give an akuko fun fun to Shango and at noon in the middle of the yard and cook it with amala ila and put it in an igba with asia pupua over its batea and take it to the foot of araba.

Adimu: Eran malu, aari, juju alakaso, amala ila, atare to make five balls, 1 adie grifa, you put it for him for five day and to the river.

247

Oguna Biode has to have a guataca in a flooring made of earth and wash it with caisimon. Ogunda Biode has to make ebo with a doll that he has in his house in front of a mirror. For Oshun you place five types of oshinshin, and the first four shouls have shrimps. For each one you make a different ewe of Oshun. The fifth even has an eyea tutu from the river and eleguede intestines (pumpkin). The ones with shrimp go to the river and the fifth one to the sea, but before bringing them the awo will wash his face and put twentyfive cents for each one. Make a small hat made of beads for Elewa. Give and akuko fun fun to Baba along with Shango and throw in anis on Baba. If it is obatala, even better. Here Oshun brings Riches. Make Oparaldo with an owunko keke and other ingredients. Take to the edge of the river and stand him up on his back. Stand up the tile in the earth with all the Signs except Ogunda Biode, which you write in the back of the individual. Kill the ounko keke over the tile, open it without skinning it and take out its wing and put in the interested person extended over his back covering the Sign Ogunda Biode, then you wash his back with it, insert it in the ounkos stomach and throw the ounko, tile and other ingredients in the river. For Ogun you put an Iron Okpele, a guataca a small iron tablero. Here the Ogun turned mute. The osun of this ifa is fitted in cedar.

Here they put the three marks to the foot of the Okpele that speaks, since before it only had a dilogun in the right foot. The Agboran of olofin was born on earth. For this ifa to achieve Power on Earth, you place the Elewi over a grave in the cemetery and there you give him an ounko keke, then take him to the ile and there you give him an akuko and three jio jio of he asks for them. This is where osun projects the Shadow of egun at the door of the Awo. The base of Osun must be made of cedar. In cases of danger give an abo keke to Osun. Place amala ila for the Protective Egun and give eyebale at the foot of Eni. FOR IMPOTENCE:

248

Take it before eating breakfast during all the moons, shavings from a deer can, igi: Parami, bone stick. You cannot have sexual contact while the moons do not finish. TO RESOLVE WITH ELEWA: Give him a pollon and ask him. When you get what you asked for give him an akuko and ask him again. When you get what you asked for again, give him an ounko keke cutting it in four parts and throw it on the road toward four different destinations or for three different places. The leri of the owunko appears for the inetersted person in his leri. The front right foot, appears in the right arm. The front left foot, in his left arm. The back right foot, in his left leg. The back left foot, in his left leg. The testicles are presented to the testicles of the interested person. Also, place a dissected maja for the Elewa. Ogunda Biode: Cadaverous Decomposition was born here. The person has a stench. You suffer from stomach ulcers or malignant tumors in the stomach aor duoden. There are three Eguns that are rushing you and that is why you are never firm or stable in your things. You always lose. Here the ounko was killed for being disobedient and sentenced by Olofin for the first time on Earth. Do not pity anyone, because when you resolve his problem he will betray you and in the best of the cases, he will forget about you. Ogunda Biode indicates that in the house there is someone that is watching the steps made by the Awo and, you have to take care of something of shishiriku or prepared dolls to do that with the Eguns. Safeguarding is to place an asokere of majof majagua that is very nice for Oshun. It also indicates problems with Eguns aAbiku. You prepared the burujn to leave your house and you cried of rage. When you get annoyed you pull at your clothes and remove them. You have a knife saved. You have money that belongs to the Saint, do not spend it so you do not lose your luck. You are in love. Your foot hurts. Make mass for a family member that is deceased who is asking you for this. You are with three thiefs or with three women. Be careful with the law. Before you die you have to make Ifa. Do not be jealous of your wife, becaue the lover you suspect may be from the other world and to hide it you may lose three luck she has. Be careful with tragedies so you do not come out attached. You have some money, it will be given to you or you lost it. You are poor and having difficulties and sorrows and your wife is angry with you because you grabbed something of hers. She says that you take everything. She is good

249

but there is someone who is giving her bad advice about you or wants to take her away from you. That is based on witchcraft and so that does not happen, make ebo. You have a brother in the country that you do not know. You have a prenda from a deceased person. Do not steal. Do not be greedy. You have a daughter that will give birth to jimaguas. You have three enemies who mix up your things. Someone is hunting you. Feed your leri right away. Three people are interested in your wife, or were interested. Never mistreat a woman so you do not lose your good luck. You will go to the country and things will work out for you. Do not fight with your wife because she will save you. You dreamt about your father or with a dead person or with Yemaya. There is someone hiding from the law. There is a man trying to take your wife away from you with witchcraft. Tell her not to give her hand to anyone. Ebo: Akuko, coral, water, ou fun fun and dun dun, a small tablero. After the Ebo thread the ou (thread) fun fun and dun dun through the needle, pass the coral through, put it on the tablero and give it the akuko on the headtablero while calling Egun.

The Awo who committed to winning a dispute over an inheritance to some people and got them money to mount the Spells. Then other people came to his house so that he would perform Spells to win a lawsuit over an inheritance and he got involved and got them money for the ingredients of the Spell. The Awo mounted a Spell for the first group of people that contracted him for this type of problem. Then he makes a spell for the other group. Every time once of those groups would come to his house he would fetch them money, but none of the groups saw the inheritance matter move in their favor. And so one day both groups met up in the Awos house. Those groups were fighting among each other for the possession of the inheritance, and became aware that the Awo did the same for both groups, and they requested that all the money they gave be returned to htem, and then they asked: - And at the same time you were working for the victim and for the victimizer. Here an individual was sick inside and did not know it and it quickly emerged. Orunmila said: Next to this well there is a plum tree and the fern grows next to it. When they cleaned it all they saw that there was Obo underneath and they picked it up for the prayer. Then the man was cured. When the man leaned over the curb of the well he saw a shadow in the water and did not know who it belonged to. It was of the Egun that defended him, but when he was disobedient, Shango would turn it around.

252

There was a mand who sold flowers; he saw from close but not from far and people did not know this. One day several people who were far from the flower vendor called him to buy flowers from him, he answered but could not see them and those people noticed that he had heard them but could not tell them apart because his eyesight was failing him. You mother did not raise you. Take care of your eyesight or you might go blind. You may discover a hidden secret about your life without noticing. Here the man lives as a slave of the Wishes and Whims of the woman, since she does not work.

When it becomes dark turn on the light, so that the Malicious Eguns do not come to torment Ogunda Dio. Speaks of lost illusions. Ifa of failure. All of the illusions the person makes during his life he cannot achieve them and, if he does achieve them, it will be for a short time because he will lose them. This is found in all the orders of life. In this ifa deceit and lies were born. The man loses his viril part. To avoid the loss of the viril part and to raise the character of the person, place an ashola fun fun under a shrub of Alamo and all the leaves that fall facing upward are picked up to make ebo. Those that fall face down are thrown out. When you wish to destroy an araye, get human shit, add eku, eya, awado and a paper with the general information of the araye. Make ebo with this and put it at your door. For the stomach: Prepare an omiero of orozus, place for oshun inside the omiero for seven days and every day you drink a cup to clean the stomach. You should have two entrances to your house, so that you can sometimes come in through the end of the house and others through the front. For orunmila you place an akuko carved in wood and loaded with: Leri and oyu of akuko of Elewa, the akukan of akuko, oro, obi kola, osun, obi motiwao, igi moruro, iyefa prayed from this Oddun. Here the Elewa is stood up at the corner to see who comes in and goes out of your house. Elewa is not happy with something that is happening in your house. You have to put up a white curtain with lintel from the mariwo on the street door and talanquera on the door at the end of the ile. You have to give four painted eyele to Elewa along with Shango to transform money.

257

To give those eyele to Elewa and Shango, you prepare omiero of: Ewefa (pigeon heart), ewefin (gold button) and ewe misi misi (cress) to spray on the eyele, then you let them go in the house so they scare away Iku; then you smear them in epo and efun and you ask how many days later should they be sacrificed for Egun and for Shango with Elewa. Awo has to put a mirror for Ogun, which you line by the fun fun and pupua and cooked with ou fun fun, dun dun and pupua, so that it gives Ogun and looking outside. The owner of this Ifa has to have Awa Anyonu, which you mount on an agboran that has half a mans face and half a womans face and you load it with: Leri gungun Egun, of akuko, of eyele, of etu, eku, awado, eya, igi: conqueror and win the battle. Give it to Shanog, to Elewa and to the ebo eyebale of ayapa and akuko. The Awo that sees this Ifa will immediately give Ogun an akuko. Give eyele meyi to Shango and to Elewa and an akuko to Ogun. On the door to the yard you put eku, eya and epo. WORK DEVELOPMENT: Six eyele fun fun. Two for shilikun ile with obi and efun.

Soon you will build your own house and, if you already have one, you are thinking of remodeling. There is money near your home. When it arrives, fulfill what you offered. Do not look at the rest with indifference, because in that case the money will be for your own misfortune. You will win the lottery. Someone will go look for you to do something bad, do not do it under any circumstance. Do not teach what you know so that you are not persecuted later on. If you find a woman in your path that is carrying a basket on her head, carry it for her to her house and it will give you good luck, because she has Oshun on her head. Be hospitable in your house when asked. Keep your door clean and your house and you will then obtain what you want. You are unfaithful to your husband inside your own home, be careful with separation because you might lose everything. Always have an akuko in your house so it sings to you. Be careful with the people you deal with and receive in your home and a betrayal.

You wish to ruin your house, you are very willing and you have a war with several people. Stop fighting with your adversary. Here Elewa came to orunmilas house crying because he could not see the road. Orunmila made him a Sodde and saw this ifa for him: Ogunda Dio and said: Since this is impossible, if you are the one who opens and closes the paths? This is due to habits that you no longer do. Elewa remembered that he went every day to say hello to Yemaya and brought her food and would bathe in her water. Orunmila made him ebo with: Akuko and bogbo tenunyen and sent him to visit yemaya. He did it like that, he called her and fed her the akuko, then he bathed in her water and a moment later he had his paths cleared up once again. Note: When Ogunda Dio learns Ifa he fights with his godfather or with the person who taught him. ESHO ARIWO: Is a doll that you carve in wood of jaguey male with his head drilled so you can load it with: Eleri of adan (bat), of eyo (maja), of ologbo (cat), of eku (jutia), of eyu tutu (fish), of akuko (rooster), of owunko (goat of Elewa), seven different earths, eru, obi kola, obi edun, obi motiwao, ivy, atori (paciflora), gbure, mobo, garro, telelegun, atiponla, azogue, 21 igi, 21 atare, 21 iwereyeye, eku, eya, epo, oti, oti kana, efun, gold, silver, bronze, coral, ambar, jet, ivory, an inkin.

There you place a dool and go to a croto shrub, make an opening and place the casserole with the dool of elewa wrapped in mariwo, call Elewa and leave it there for twenty one days.

259

After twenty one days dig out the casserole and break it on the door of the cemetery. In the opening give an akuko, eku, eya, epo, oti and bogbo teunyen and bury everything there. Wash the loaded doll with ewe awede (croto leaves) and feed it to a jutia. For the malaguidi you put a loincloth of mariwo and from the waist of the sash you hang seven bells. It lives dressed with the loincloth of mariwo.

Ogunda koroso kukute Kuku adifafun eri eni tinsheru osa abebo lebo, aou lebo, abou imbo ube osa olosu unshawo gari adifafun Lashude eti shoma orisha kiyin eyele lebo, oure lebo Maferefun Oduduwa, Elewa, olokun, nana Buruku ati oshun. Lodafun Eggun, Odde ati osun. This is where ogun and osun were together. This is where Yemaya eat fried pork meat for the first time and plantain mariquitas. Put them for Yemaya. When the babalawo or the iworo (santero-a) gets married, you immediately give the eyele fun fun to his leri. When this ifa osobo is seen they also have to do it. This is the Ifa of the Pelican. This is when the birds, when they feel strong after their parents give them food, leave the nest and never return to it. Here children forget about their parents sacrifices. In this Ifa the Godfather has to look carefully at his godchild because after he gets what he wants he will leave the nest just like the birds. Obini of this ifa will always give birth to a boy. Ifa says that you should wash your eyes with urine from a small boy. Ogunda koroso: Kofibori with ploughed earth (secret). It is an ifa of blackmail. This is where the female chicken becomes a hen. Here the male chicken becomes a hen. There may be rumors about the manliness of the male or about the femininity of the young girl, for dealing with homosexuals. Ifa of an unorganized life in general. There is no stability in any sense. The woman does not respect the husband and the husband has even raised his hand at the woman. They live like cats and dogs. If you are young you have to be careful of blackmail that a woman might make on you for having mamu obo. Speaks of organic deficiency and weakness to have intercourse. The person has no direction, he should always have someone to guide him in life. Marks that the person wishes to move from where he lives or where he works. Here the man raises his hand to the woman and the woman, with this oddun in her ikofa, is condescending with her husband and does not respect him. Ifa says that he should leave that womans side quickly. Take baths with Alamo leaves that have fallen face up. When this ifa appears in an Atefa, give an owunko mammon to the earth after seven days. Present that eran to the earth and sing to the earth throwing it in the joro joro. Remove the vesicle from the liver and remove the bile in joro joro and then for the Awo you place the vesicle bag in his mouth so that he never says bitter words to his godparents. In this Ifa Elewa hid under the sand and saw when they invaded the Earth and how he had left an eye open to see, when people would go by they would throw dirt on him and hurt his eye so he only had one eye left.

261

The owner of this Ifa has to take care because a blow or something that falls into his eyes may make him lose sight in one eye. During his travels throughout the world Orunmila arrived at a house and a few days later people became envious and they threw out his tablero, the iyefa, the herbs, the eruke and the irofa. Then he made a Sodde for himself and he saw this Ifa, that said to him: You are living with your enemies. Days later someone from that house fell ill and they went to get Orunmila so he would treat him and he could not work because he did not have any instruments and the sick person died. Be careful that someone from your family or someone who lives with you do not throw out a religious item that belongs to you. Ogunda Koroso was trusted by the King, but because he did not get along with his work colleagues and for not making the ifa that was ordered to him, they threw him out of the palace for betrayal, they accused him of stealing before the King. He sent him to be caught and they caught him in the plaza with a sack full of palace objects. Everything was for not having given Eshu the akuko that ifa ordered. Take care of a betrayal from your enemies, who do not rest until they see you arrested or thrown out of your work. It was a time in which Ogun and osun were together during parties and get togethers. One day Osun got drunk and fell asleep and Elewa and ogun who disliked him because osun had the trust of Olofin, they stole his eure fun fun, killed her and ate her, and they smeared osuns mouth with blood while he slept drunk. When they went to look for the author of the theft, they found osun with his mouth full of blood, and was considered a thief. An Olofin noticing that osuns friends were the ones that se the trap, but because osun fell asleep, he condemned him to always live awake and standing. For this Ifa ingesting alcoholic beverages is prohibited. Do not sleep in any strange places with your mouth open so that no one throws witchcraft in your mouth. Be careful with taking the blame of others and getting arrested. Yewa and olosa lived in the laggon and received offerings from all their subjects and among them their favorite was Lashude who was a very neat youth who dedicated himself to fishing in that lagoon. It turns out that one day Leshude, after reaching adult age, because of his male beauty, began to seduce all the daughters of Yewa and of olosa, making them break their vow of chastity and yewa and olosa cried bitterly because of this, but they went to orunmilas house because they did not want to kill Lashude. Orunmila made them a Sodde and saw this Ifa for them and said: You have to pray to change the sex of this youth, because there is no male on this Earth who is completely a

262

male. After having touched the daughters of yewa or Olosa, may he live as such and this is by sentence of Olofin. They made the ebo and some time after the young man began to change into an Adodi (effeminate). All the daughters of Yewa and olosa were obou (pregnant), they miscarried and buried their fetuses in jars at the edge of the river, putting a gold adde (gold crown) on them. Then they returned to Yewas house, who gave them each an Omitogu knife, so they would live, but they had to swear chastity and virtue before Yewa, therefore forming a sisterhood of priestesses. Notes: those are the Priestesses or Amazon Women of Africa. Through this path, this ifa prohibits selling your body and wherever orisha is he has his own knife. Ebo: A deep plate and one that is plain and that they be cracked at the bottom. Put at the headtablero of the bed and on the following day take it to an open grave in the cemetery.

OGUNDA JUANI. OGUNDA LENI.

Ogunda Leni anarete adifafun Eyele tinlo sila anue eyele lebo Akuko lebo. Maferefun Eshu, Ogun ati Oshosi. Do not leave the path for a sidewalk. Do not get involved in what does not concern you. Never start anything with violence. You have to receive many Orishas, mainly Olba. You have to always wear the necklace of Yemaya. In front of orunmila you have to place a new ikiko with water from a forge and an ei adie to the river so that Arun Unlo. Do not have parrots in your house. Carry a gold shield inside your Ifa and outside an caracol okpele. Ozain interferes here. For this Ifa use a washed axe and food from ogun, it can be made of gold, silver or white metal. This ifa orders you to go get crazy or play hooky at the foot of a Prenda of Zarabanda to lengthen your life. Vagrancy, stubbornness and disobedience were born. For this ifa you have to receive all the Saints. The person exposes himself to the war with knowledge. Secret of the oddun: Put a metal yunque inside the higher hand of ifa. Ogunda Leni is goodness personified. An Oddun of the power of resolution. Give three jio jio to elewa. Baths and washing down with parsley, bello and maloja. A green coconut for the brain and the eyes, three drops of oti and five drops of mayo water in the morning. Kofibori with eya tutu meyi. Here you go look for Elewa in the lagoon with black beans, red and garbanzo beans. Ogunda Leri was the drug dealer of oti and there were so many complaints that arrived to Olofin, that he ordered Elewa to watch him. Elewa told ogunda leni that his enemies had turned him in before Olofin and that he was in charge of watching him. Ogunda leni made himself a Sodde and saw this Ifa (his sign) and made ebo with akuko, eyele, igba of oti, igba of omi, igba of oi.

264

After doing the ebo, he went out to the street and was arrested and when they did a reading on him before Olofin, it proved that what he had was omi and oi and he was free from any accusation from his enemies. Maferefun Elewa. Here it speaks of the Breaded orona who is a warrior osha that accompanies ogun and comes out of the sea. He is the explorer that transforms the paths where ogun passes. This osha confuses the enemies, mixing up the path. She is a female and sister of ogun. In this ifa Olofin took away the male Pigeons voice. Do not make Ifa for anyone. The first one to speak in the World was the cock pigeon, who was given that virtue by Olofin. To test him, Olofin granted him the pigeon so that she would induce him to her intentions and, the pigeons incistence was so great, that the cock pigeon accepted her intimacies. Olofin took away his speech and cursed him by saying: While the World is the World, you may only say: Kuruku kuruku. Put the lamp for Oshun with almend oil, five egg yolks and five mejorana leaves. The person is cowardly. They have crowned him. The person is not even considered by his relatives. You were the boss at your work and now you are not even a soldier. You are a slave in your family. You do not know what happens in your house and even your children have confronted you. Elewa has all the paths closed. Make ebo with Akuko fifeshu, an adie, three arrows, abiti Ogunda leni has to mount a caldron called Arolotaye, mounts on an iron caldron and it is an ozain. On the caldron you smear hot malu feed and then at the bottom you paint Oshe Tura, ogunda Leni, Okana Yeku and otura she. You place leather treated with jutia from the one that ate ogun and an ota of Ogun. The ota and the caldron are washed with omiero from ceiba leaves, mountain cinnamon, juan Colorado, guama, yagruma, salvadera, nail from a castilla, jobo, white jia, white sauco, yam of an Indian plantain. In it you add earth from the center of the plaza, from the door of a church, entrance and exit of the city, hospital, anari okun and odo, from the prison, from a railroad, from the high court, from the cemetery, from every corner, leri and elese of Egun, 7 atare, 7 atare, 7 chinese atare, 7 from the coast, leri ayapa, of adan, of lami lami, of acantaru, bibijagua, 7 aguemas, sparrow-hawk, gunugun, owl, muleteer, carpenter, parrot, zunzun, sinsonte.

265

Eat ayapa, carpenter, parrot, zunzun, sinsonte, akuko, fried rooster, young chicken, jutia, the leri from those animals go inside the caldron. You add three bottles of oti kana and oti to that dough. Eat and live next to Ogun. INSHE-OZAIN OF OGUNDA LENI. FOR MEMORY: Leri of Eiye orore (bijirita), palo caballero, root of guasima, moruro, conqueror, win the battle, cocuyo, palo ramon. Amansaguapo, oyu and elenu of akuko, eru, obi kola, obi motiwao, osun, aira, anum, orogbo, 7 silver coins. Line it with beads of orunmila. Eat ayapa, aparo, akuko and etu with atare. Oparaldo with osiadie must be made . Drink a glass of iye made of palo caballero and also bathe with your leaves or with the iye. You can also make a mallet of palo caballero tied with ariques from yagua and boil them well to drink and drink, whatever is left over goes in a joro joro at the end of the seven days. ESHU AGOWEYE: The Oluwe that makes this Elewa has to give etu meta to Shango. When you finish killing them, you have to make Oparaldo with an osiadie and it goes on a road. The eye of Shango is caught to make this Elewa. Load: Earth from 7 different roads, change voice, amanza guapo, ceiba, ayua, win the battle, jiqui, jaguey, parami, yumao, palm, the three precipitating, quicksilver, 7 halves, 7 cents, 21 atare, powder from the leri of eku, it has an ota keke that eats the three etu next to Shango. For the owner, oparaldo with jio jio meta that you burn and him, powder in the dough. ESHU MASANKIO: Ota from a lagoon. Load: chick-peas, red beans, leri ayapa, 3 spurs of akuko loaded; one with eku, one with eya, one with ewe dun dun; 3 corals, 3 jets, 3 reales, eru, obi kola, arida, osun, orogbo, obi edun, garro herb, levantate, tete, atiponla, prodigiosa, small doll. The base in peto of ayapa. Eats ayapa to be born. The 3 knives in different directions, chalked with ou dun dun and pupua. When this oddun appears in an Atefa, to remove the curse from that letter you get a basket containing the rest of the herbs from the sink, sacrifice an eyele for it and you make as many packages as there are Awo present in the consecration, so that each of them cleans themselves with it and when they leave they can throw them out in a swamp. Speaks of vagrancy, stubbornness. Disobedience, poverty for the bad head that the person has. Ask if you have to fix the persons Elewa. If you have to give him jio jio meta or if you have to bring him to a road to feed him. You have to receive Ogba. The person, for having learned the secrets of the herbs, does not take very good care of the Saints and of Ifa.

266

Indicates memory loss because of the amount of knowledge accumulated by the person in his mind and has to feed his leri and bathe in and drink omiero of palo caballero that grows among the guasimas. Speaks of bijirita. The Inshe-ozain carries a bijirita. This is an ifa of an Ozainist person. Be careful with a pigeon that is going to ruin a cock pigeon. Ogunda Leri is quickly bored of the obini because none of them understand and satisfy him, because he is an Oddun of sexual strength, since here ogun had his strength in his penish and it turned into rock. Speaks of strength in feelings. Your children are first enemies, as well as the woman you have next to you that does not know how to calm you down.

SUYERE Odu Aremu Baye Odu Aremu Keye bori legun. Odu-Aremu Baye Omo Momo Ni Egun. Odu-Aremu Baye Loyo Oloddumare. Born here was the Cock fight. The person has a war that never ends. When one ends with a person, another war arises with someone else. The ebo of this Ifa must always have Atare (Guinea black pepper). The Inshe-Ozain (Protection), you mount on a spur of a fine rooster. Here Shango raised cock fighting roosters. Speaks of Orisaye. Obatala was not very well know in Cuba and whom the owner of this Ifa has to receive. For Intori Arun the person cannot neglect his appearance because he may die. Speaks of the coot. Here Orunmila made Ifa on Obatala and won a lot of money. Place an eya tutu for Obatala with ori, efun and oi so that he may give you all the riches you desire. To free yourself of your enemies: Catch two fine roosters and leave them to fight for a while, then give them to Shango and to Ozain calling the arayes. In one of the spurs you mount the Inshe-Ozain so that you can free yourself of your many enemies forever. Catch three esha tutu, smoke them well, smear them in epo and place them for Ogun for three days. Then take them to the mountain. Stroke your leri in a dark room with eyele meyi funfun. Make ebo with: Akuko, eku, eya tutu, atare (cannot be left out). After the ebo you smoke the eya tutu and place it for Ogun for three days. Osi (the goose) lived with his family on earth, but since no one understood him he went to live in the sky. Shortly after he came down dressed in white because he had made

268

Saint. Then he brought his children to the sky, who also came back having performed Saint. And since then the gooses feathers are white. The person does not consider the person and even humiliate him and sooner or later he will have to leave there, but in the end he will have to fight for his children to save them, giving them all sorts of help. Here Shango and Ogun maintained a bloody war because of Oya, where Olofin found himself needing to intervene by request of the people to bring an end to that long and terrible war and, for that, he grabbed six pieces of Ogun and gave them to Shango and Shangos pieces he gave to Ogun. Here oguns and Shangos pieces are exchanged so that the person may obtain Power in the Religion and finish the war he has with his arayes. The tomato was being chased by his enemies and was subjected to so much persecution, that unless he turned red his enemies would not stop chasing him. The person has to change his way of life completely so that he can remove all the enemies he has on top of him. You are prohibited of working with Prendas from Sorcerers. Prohibits working at jobs where the person may be spattered with or smeared with rotten mud or organic substances that are decomposing because he will surely get a skin infection. For a skin infection you have to wash the infected part with omiero of itamorreal, orozus and wild basil. If the person lives without morals he will surely be cursed by his father. Do not use a prenda that you find on the street, because if it is prepared you will be set back. The Aleyo or Consecrated person has or will have serious problems with his Elders in religion. Your enemies have even thrown powders at you made of maja skin on your clothes and in your bed. When you are happy everything goes wrong and when you are sad everything goes well. Do not move from where you live. You complain about the bad life your are living. You have a spouse that gives you good advice, do not mistreat him or her. If you are thinking of asking for a favor or money from someone, you have to make ebo before going, or else they will tell you that the person is not home.

Maferefun Obatala ati Orunmila. Here Ia Arakaro (Sambo) was imprisoned in the heavens for having gone there to spy and tell men about the Secret of how they came to live, which so many of them had begged him to find out. For wanting to please everyone you may find yourself in a serious problem and may even be imprisoned for a very long time. Here people run and do not know why. Born was the power of the Prenda over the Awo. Womans jealousy was born, where she makes the mans life impossible. Make ebo in a dark room. The woman cannot cut or dye her hair. Place nine sabers for Oya and one machete to Ogun. Here they made Ifa for the crocodile. In this Ifa Oya determines about the Death of each person. You have to swear in Ashikuelu. TO RESOLVE MONEY PROBLEMS: Place a bunch of bananas apple trees for Shango and when they are ripe bring them to the foot of a ceiba. INSHE TO ATTACH OBINI: A red mamey, inzo for agutan (ram skin) 1 agbona (female doll), 1 malaguidi (male doll). Make iye of igi: Do not forget me, I can better than you, cinnamon, ashes from the hide of agutan on which you wrote the general information of the woman seven times on the back. On the mamey you make an opening on top and add all that powder after praying it on a tablero with: Oshe Tura, ogunda Foloko Kana and Otura She. On each doll you put the name of the corresponding person, one written from head to toe, the other written from toe to head; join them by the forehead, chalk them with a chaing and tie them with a padlock, and you put them on a plate and give them a jio jio along with Shango. To the prepared mamey you add enough epo and put a wick on it and 270

light it for Shango and say: Shango, just as you love this World and women love you, then so and so should love me forever. Then place the mamey at the foot of a palm tree, if you wish to have that woman for your entire life, take it to the cemetery and throw it in a grave. The male and female dolls are saved. When you wish to break this attachment, you untie the dolls and wash them with omiero of marigold, curse remover and alejate. The agbona (female doll) to a well. The malaguidi (male doll) to the sea. THE CONGA JUTIA AND THE CARABALI JUTIA: You are being bothered and chased. Be careful of tall and thin people that apparently creeps up on you. He does that to obtain what he wants from you. Ebomisi: Purple basil, aberikunlo, bitter broom and a jio jio to give it at noon. Omiero from the same herbs and an eyele fun fun to bathe in that same day at midnight. This is where Orunmila abandoned his son Ogunda ko and went up to the heavens, because instead of working with Ifa, his son abandoned him to work with all the Other Powers that he had. This determines that all the Powers that are not Orunmilas and that an Awo may possess, is never above Ifa. INSHE: The Awo of this Sign has to give an akuko to Eshu every two months. You have to have in front of your ifa an Osun that is your size that has 16 lampls. Give an eyele fun fun to each one and throw on the okokan of the eyele, put almond oil on it and light them in front of Orunmila, singing: Kashama ikoko kashama ikoko Fitila Kawo Mina Orunmila kashawo ikoko. Then, with that lighted you give two adie dun dun to Orunmila, singing: Balemi Ilemi Ifa Wasimi Kakan Ifa. Those adie go to the river. Also, the Awo of this Ifa should always have two ishu (yams) in front of him. He should always have Orunmilas necklace. For this ifa you have to feed Orunmila and touch Aran Arakan, The Great Tambor of Ifa, for which you do not invite more than sixteen Awoses to dance ofr ifa and call him with this Sureye: Balimo yami balimo ile mi waniki orunmila kakan ifa. You then feed Ifa, the sun, moon and the earth, singing:

271

Orunmila odara barabaniregun Enini maya la kunfele ifa enini Maya La Kunfele Ifa. Olorun Inle Awo Inle oguere. La Ashupua ire Awo. Ire ire orunmila Yoba ire ire. So that the Power of ifa return to the house of ogunda Ko. Ogunda Ko is a brute at learning Ifa, but on the other hand he has an inborn skill of making beautiful works with his hands. To lear ifa you have to feed Egun of your grandfather jio jio meta and eyele keke meta along with Elewa and an akuko jabado. In the tile of Egun Ni Lorun Ibaye Ni ogunda ko and call your grandfathers Egun while singing: Babanla Emi Ifa Egun Ni Lorun Ibaye Ni ogunda Ko Eggun Ni Bodde oloddumare Omi Lorun Omo oribawa Kofiedenu lalerun Osha Omilorun. Clean yourself with the three jio jio and call the egun of your Babanla (grandfather). Awo Adele Eni Ifa Bawa. While you give the three jio jio to Egun you sing: Emi bawa Eni Emi jio jio Meta Babanla Ni Lorun Loserni La Nire Emi Ifa Ogunda Ko Mayawa Oun Eye Ifa Eye Lorun. You then give the three young pigeons of Eyele to Egun while singing: Eyele meta ni bawa Eggun Mayele Babanla eye eyele meta baba Egun. To finish you place Elewa and Shango and give the painted akuko to all three of them and sing: Ogunda ko Iya bebesi Awo Eni Boshe Aneni ifa osha Ni Laye. Elewa osha Ni Laye. Shango Eni baye ibaye Bayen Tonu. Oloddumare Eni bawa bofun Adelekun. Then ogunda ko has to stroke his leri with the dough of a water coconut, obi kola, eru, canutillo, rosemary flower, pasiflora flower, always live from the East, ori, efun, oi. When you put that knap sack in your leri you have to give three jio jio over your leri and pray: Ogunda Ko Moyesi Ni Awo Ogun Na nire Bori Boshe. This in front of Ogun where you light the two itanas. On the following day you have to bathe in front of Ogun with eight Obatala herbs and coconut water and pray during the bath: Ogun Onire Awo Adele eni Ifa Bawa. Then you have to consecrate the Ozain. If Ifa was done on the Awo Ogunda without having a Saint, you have to put 16 ota in an igba so that you can kill all the Saints for him.

272

You then have to wash the Saint and try to receive as many as possible so that they beg Olofin for him in the heavens and Olofin recognizes him as Awo here on Earth. Your Ogun has to have 21 pieces, one oa with the maja twisted and give it an ayapa at seven at night. You have to drill through this ota to load it. Ogunda Ko has to respect the Igi Siguaraya for lif, cover your Ifa with your leaves and then make it into iye for bathing, but no one can make spells for you or with those leaves or root, the Siguaraya is only for him. ---------------------------------------------------Ogunda Ko: Here Oya had a life with complete lack of sexual control and, people spoke so much of this that it arrived at the ears of his padra obatala, who annoyed said: My daughter is innocent of all that humanity accuses her of. Since the rumors of the bad moral of Oya continued, one day Obatala called Elewa, ogun and Shango so they would secretly watch her daughter Oya and tell her of her moral behavior. They began to watch her and when they caught her in the act and wen to look at her from the front she transformed herself into a caravel. The person is living a life that lacks sexual control because there is an Egun that drives her to do so, since both men and women does anything sexually. You have to make her oparaldo to remove this Egun form her. -----------------------------------------------------Eshu Lonkoyiki: This Eshu if from the family of Alayiki and eats in the door hinges. When he goes to eat he does so in a basket of yaguas from a royal palm tree. Place it next to a leri of jutia. Ota from the four paths, from a bibijaguero, from a church, from the plaza, from the audience, from jail, from a hospital, eru, obi kola, osun, obi edun, obi motiwao, arida, bejuco mowo, pica pica, levantate, conqueror, abre camino, jaguey, charchoal, Saint Thomas, tengue and yaya, jicotea (palo).

Put a knife on it with three juju (one from a parrot, one of tiosa and one from an owl). When it is mounted you bury it before the sun comes out in at a cross roads during seven days. When you remove it, right there you sacrifice three jiro chicks, add oguade, awado, oti. Then in the house you give it ayapa, jutia and rooster.

You like to sleep in the nude. Take care of your legs that are getting weak. You have to go to the optometrist. Your parents separated because of an obini. Your mother is your worse enemy and you have even thrown Ogu on her. Visit your mother less so you may be happy. This is a strong Ifa. You were not going to be born because your mother did everything she could to miscarry you. You have a mark on your body. You suffer from kidney problems.

274

This Ifa indicates that the person goes to be seen before the Awo because he sent him to Orunmila through a dream, you are frightened. Do not gain weight because you will destroy yourself. Ogunda Masa is the loader of the Eguns. You have to sleep toward the bottom of the bed and place a cedar cross at the headtablero of the bed. Get a piece of animal meat (cocote), put nine needles in it, wrap it in black fabric, clen it and put it for ogun for three days and then bury it.

The ikoko has earth from the ile, 21 igi, 7 tools of ogun. Give it jio jio, akuko and apaya. Cement everything and you live with ogun and eat an ayapa in his ile. SPELL TO CALL THE EGUN: You load a pilon with leri egun, eru, obi kola, arida, dress as a mariwo and place it face first in the middle of the Igbo Egun. On the pilon you pu an ikoko with omie with an igba facing down and call the Egun at the foot of the Saint or Orisha chosen. TO CONQUER THE ARAYES: Crest of akuko, eyebale of huron of ogun, ashes from the papers of the general information of the arayes, oddun Toyale from the reading or oddun from the attitude if he is Awo, Oddun of Ifa Ofo. Everything wrapped up in asho dun dun and buried in an angry anthill.

There collect water and bring it to your house to bathe with for three days.

275

For this oddun you give 16 eyele fun fun to oduduwa. TO OBTAIN A LOAD, BUT YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE ARAYES FROM OVER YOU: Ebo: Akuko, two etu with uncut wings. Tie a silver real to the left feet of the etu with white beads, then you make sarayenye with the estu and then to the house from the end to the door, where you let them go so they fly away. Ask the Akuko. Ogunda Masa is the cashier of Okofin. Speaks of a Strong Box where the owo is stolen little by little. So the person has no problems he has to orubo. Ebo: Akuko, leri and adie intestines. Get the buche from the adie, clean it well and fill it with corn and put inside the chest. Seven days later you take it out and put it on Ogun for three days. The person then keeps a small box so as to have no problems. For this Ifa the person dies before his time; to avoid this wash yourself well and make the following Spell before orunmila and Obatala. Gather herbs of Obatala (you should always include estefanote and ceiba). With these herbs you make a pillow. Catch a pitahaya and cut its crown that you crush along with the leri of a small red snapper and you add ero, obi kola, obi motikwao, ori, efun, omi tutu and pray to the leri praying for the order of the following Signs: Ogbe-She, ibori obara, ogunda masa, oshe nilobe and the 16 meyis Ifa. In a mat put orunmila and obatala, put the pillow in front of them, lie down on the mat with your head on the pillow (iroro) and sleep with two lighted itanas. The next day pick up some of the ewe from the iroro (pillow) and along with the prayer that there was in the leri, you make Apayeru on it if it is Awo and Ebo with four eyele fun fun if Aleyo, omofa or Apetevi. The Apeyeru or ebo goes to Oke on the summit and there you as obatala to let that person live because he is still needed on this earth. The other part of the pitahaya is left in front of Orunmila and when it dries you make iye and bind it with efun and iyefa, pray Ogunda masa on the tablero and every day you blow that iye on the door in the morning you blow that iye on the door asking Orunmila to grant you the life you are claiming and need. This is born in this Ifa, but is applied in any oddun as long as Orunmila permits it. INSHE AGAINST THE ARAYES: A paper with the general information of the enemies seven times in each one, on top you write this ifa and put it on the ground in front of ozain and stick it on. On that paper you add the earth from the footprints of the enemies. SPELL TO FREE YOURSELF FROM THE ARAYES: Get an akuko and feed bones of cardon in the shape of a V, you then spread it over the paper that has the general information of the arayes while smearing it with eyebale. Get juju from the elese and apa (wings) and make afoshe. Toast the crest and make afoshe. Wrap this afoshe in the paper with the general information of the arayes and with the

276

earth from their footprints. Ask what path to choose; generally it is buries at the foot of a guao shrub or aroma shrub. This spell is done at three in the morning, seven in the morning or at noon so it has faster results. INSHE-OZAIN FOR HEALTH: Earth from a bibijaguero, from jail, from a cemetery, from the ile, shell of ayapa, hair of owunko of Elewa, eku, eya, epo, oi and asha smoke (tobacco). Ask what it eats and with what orisha. OPARALDO TO REMOVE EVIL EGUN FROM PRENDA: Go to the mountain and open a joro joro, add two malaguidi (male and female), one gandinga. When the tiosa eats, you add it to the joro joro tienerra and on top. You make the oparaldo with four eyele and four jio jio. OZAIN: A red snapper to which you remove its eyes. Make iye of ewe oriye and salvadera. With the two oyu you go over the iye which would have already prayed Ire. With those oyu, the ashe, a washed imkin, a silver realito, a piece of gold, silver, eru, obi kola, osun, obi motiwao, load the small bag. Eat adie with Orunmila. Place six balls of amala ila with atare that is very hot for Shango. Give ayapa and two aparo and after six days to a palm. Olofin prohibited passing on a path and ogun crossed it. The inhabitants from that place yelled at Olofin: Ogun violated your law. Olofin responded: Let him do it if he wants to lose he feeling of life, and find the feeling of death. That is why they call Ogunda masa the trouble-maker. The frog had very big hands and would say: How come when it rains my hands are not filled with rainwater? Shango heard her complaining and sent a lightning to split her hands in two. In this Ifa Orunmila said to obatala: The sky is huge but herbs do not grow there. This is when Oloddumare gave orunmila the reins of the World. This is where Obatala holds his hands to Oloddumare to grant him the reins of power. ESHU AHIKO: Ota from the river and a malaguidi. Load it with 101 igi and bring Egun. The person is nobody when alone. To resolve situations give two eyele fun fun to Obatala. What is in the garbage bin should not be picked up because it always returns to the garbage bin. You want to fix things with iron. Do not raise your hand to any woman except yours. You do not like to listen to advice.

277

If you control your temper you will be alright, you will have luck and money. Prostitution is an enigma in your life and may cost you your life. Do not become infatuated with any woman. Your own defects will later be the cause of your death. You were a merchant and the goods that you had gave you money, with women you had or have a heavy load, where a good that is not compensated is a sure death. You observe everything but you were not able to observe your own path, since whim is your misfortune. You do not fit where you live, not because of your strong character but because there you are a zero to the left. There are moments when you become sad when comparing your past life with your current one. Like the spider you weaved a web to live in it and you fell in it yourself, which dissected you until it carried you to total loss, that is, where you should rule you were dethroned for bad actions and ungratefulness. You tamed the monster so that he would devour without compassion, sunce you die in your own den. Stroking your head with eyele meyi fun fun. This Ifa is dominated by Oshun. Make oshun so you are not imprisoned. Do not get scared because everything is just noise. You will win the war and you will then be afraid. The Inshe of this Ifa has juju of alakaso, leri of alakaso, of osiadie and of a sparrowhawk, inle from a cemetery, igi pierde rumbo, change voice, amansa guapo, win the battle and marigold. Ebo: Osiadie meyi, malaguidi meyi (okuni and obini), abiti, juju alakaso, of a sparrowhawk, ofa, inle of ile, asho ara, bogbo tenyen, eku, eya, epo, awado, oi, oti, opolopo owo.

Here they corrupted the waters that were deposited. The left-over food are buried or are thrown on the excused. Make Oshinshin for three days and take it to the ocean. This Ifa marks: Wickedness, Death and Justice. The person dies in another land. It is the cemetery of the elephants. Do not let strangers sleep in your house and especially not in your bed. Receive Elewa and if you have it find out what he wants the owner to do. Indicates foiling and crushing. There is one that wishes to go somewhere else. The owner of this Ifa has to receive Olofin. When an Awo has this ifa appear in an ita, ask if he has to receive olofin. Make food three days and bring it to the ocean. Do not drink stored water. Ifa of doubts. It is preferable to lose life over honor. Do not lose your honor to save your life, because a person who loses their honor lives humiliated for the rest of his life. Be careful with a maid, so as to not form an eyo (tragedy) and they want to kill her. Be careful because someone may die in your family. SECRET OF THE ODDUN: For the Awo that receives Oddun (olofin), you have to make three Oparaldos for him at the edge of the river to catch his shadow. One, the first with an adie dun dun. The second with an adie jabada. The third with an adie fun fun. After each Oparaldo, you throw the adie in the river. Ifa of thefts, violence, blows, and sexual abuse. For this ifa to feed egun, you have to place this ifa, give him the animal and then cover him with ewe salvia and then give him an eyele. There were two hunters who confined themselves to the forest and were there for a long time without hunting anything, because every time they would injure an animal, they

279

would lose it among the thickness of the forest and they would injure an elephant they would cross the river, which was too full of water, but they knew where to cross it. That river has an area with quick sand and, the disoriented hunters, asked themselves: How is it possible that having them in our hands they would disappear? One of those days they injured an ayanaku (elephant) and followed his tracks. The elephant went to the river and was able to cross it because on that side the sand was more firm. The two hunters stayed at the river, trying to follow the tracks of the ayanaku but when trying to reach the other side of the river, it was too much work for them, since on that side the terrain was elevated and they slipped on the mud. Before this situation the youngest hunter said to the older hunter: I will climb onto your shoulders to reach firm ground and then I will pull you out with the rope. That is what they did and the youngest hunter, when trying to climb onto the back of the older hunter, his penis became erect and threatened him with his spear and the older hunter preferred to lose his honor before his life. It happened that some time later, when the youngest hunter was surrounded by women, he saw the older hunter. One of the women asked him: Why is that man who is your friend and hunting partner did not come to say hello to you, is there a problem between you? The youngest hunter was silent, but after the woman insisted and since he was drinking, he told her what had happened between them in the forest. When the older hunter heard about the rumor about his morale in that town, he left it. This is where there was a wise man, but since his things were so strong, he would resolve them with cutting instruments. One day the Greats of that town found a way to destroy him and sent a maid to his house so she would spend the night there. He understood that it was a trap that had been prepared by his enemies so he would find himself in problems with the law, but he gave shelter to the unknown girl. The next day, the arayes of the Wise Man arrived very early to complain and he told them: I do not know her, she came and asked for shelter and I gave it to her. In the quarrel that surfaced the young girl fell dead and the Wise Man had to respond to the law about this.

For Ogun you place an igba with oi. Sarao of eko to olofin which you bring covered with asho fun fun and pupua from the hillock. The person has to give thanks every day to his mother who freed him from many wars and has fought for you. Be careful with drinking and with tragedies in which you can be in danger or fall prisoner. When the persin ingest alcoholic beverages he forgets all of the advice that was given to him and may endanger himself because he is then at the mercy of his enemies. Becaues of an obini (colored woman) you may be killed. You should not see her for seven days. For this Ifa give a horse to Ogun (a colt). HORSE TO OGUN: You need a colt, two roosters, two pigeons, obi, oti, eku, ya, epo, adado, atare, ewe: Marpacifico and fruit of bread to cover Ogun. Wash the colt with omiero of cuacamaya leaves, abre camino, ten oclock in the morning, atiponla, yamao, verdolaga, ewe dun dun, romerillo, rompezaraguey, white amaranth, male fern, marpacifico, ceba, jaguey and you rig it with mariwo.

Over these Oddun (Atena of Ifa), place ogun, make him a cerdado with ewe marpacifico.

281

In front and outside the Atena you place Elewa, give him Obi, Omi Tutu and give him an ounko keke and an akuko. You can ask Ogun if he also wants to eat eyebale from the ounko, if he says no, you cannot give him some of that eyebale. Sing to Elewa and after finishing with the Ceremony of Ogbe Roso Smear it (when it is covered in feathers, you set it apart and you light an itana.) Proceed to giving Obi Omi Tutu to Ogun. Pass the colt around Ogun three times while singing: A- Bara ikoko Ogun Dedee. C- Baba Toto Alawede. A- Wara wara Ogun omi lade. C- Wara wara Ogun omi lade. You the proceed to sacrificing the colts while singing the sureyes of ogun. Then you sacrifice the rooster and then the eyele, everything while singing to Ogun. Finish with the ceremony of feathers. Skin and chop up the colt and the billy goat, count the meat for both Saints, after having seasoned and bahilado each head. Finally you close with the ceremony of the Obi Omi Tutu on the knife. Ask Elewa if he gives the ounko keke to be eaten; if he says no, do not chop it up, cut it with skin and everything in three pieces and you bring it to three different places. The meat of the colt is to eat in the house. Wrap the head of the colt in marpacifico leaves and fruit of bread and you bring it to the cemetery. During sixteen days you cover ogun with leaves from fruit of bread. With the hide of the colt, once cured, you make a sash or belt for the interested person and two wristbands that you adorn with seven bells for each one. --------------------------------------------------------Ebo: Eyele, akofa, Granada, yarako to pass it throw a knot through the leri of the person and take it out by the feet, 3 flies, akuko, adie, 1 palo, an ada, eku, eya, epo.opolopo owo. -----------------------------------------------------------The duck (ekuekueye) only had one suit and his brothers would scorn him.

The hunter that is on top of the hillock, killed eyele torcazas and the eyele fell on top of the duck and its plumage changed colors and Olofin blessed him. And since then the duck lives happily.

Ogunda Tetura adigona adifafun Bantilo yoye igi, akuko lebo. Kukute kuku adifafun Omi Isheri, akete lebo. Bebe otun Bebe Osi adifafun ori; eyele, agada lebo. Religious boredom was born. The awo becomes bored of the work of Ifa and, when he sees that what he was taught was not correct, he will detest his Godfather. You have to give an eyele to olofin from the leri of the Awo. The trafficking of slaves was born here. Ifa Oore was born here, the city of the spirits. Here Shango was on a path and passed by oni Bombo Oras house which he though it was a tree. From the embarrassment Shango was hanged with his loyal slave Abu. Because of Shango Adelawo became ruler. Adelawo means: The crown of the Awo. Be careful with an embarrassment because of inverted people. Speaks of Ako Kiye, the bir of infinite beauty that was at the head of the kingdom of witchcract. Adikun (Oya), the mother of olofun, they brought her as a slave to Dame. There she became the woman of oduduwa and from that union Eshu olanki was born. Oya would bathe him with palm oil and he would become angry. That is why Oya is called Adikun, because the vegetable oil in Africa is called Adi and this is a taboo for eshu. Be careful that they may want to enslave you. On ogun you put a leri of malu (head of a bull). Sweep the entire house with a rag and ask where to throw it out. Ifa says that the curse does not catch the thief but the other one. Take good care of Ogun and Shango. You must have two asia (flags) in your ile (house), one funfun and the other long and narrow funfun and aperi (yellow). TO RESOLVE PROBLEMS: Make a cedar doll and load it with: Eru, Obi, kola, palo amansaguapo, change voice, yamao, yaya, jocuma, root of curujey, three atare, epo, oi. Give an eyele to the one who take out the oyu (eyes and the lenu (tongue) and, they go inside the doll. Then you give three jio jio and the oyu and lenu also go inside the doll.

Place two dolls for Shango with the axe in the leri, carved in mahogany. You leave them to eat empty with Shango and Egun Eyele meyi fun fun, you get the oyu, elenu and okokan (hearts), elese (feet), apa (wings) and you make afoshe that you tie with eru, obi kola, obi edun, obi motiwao, oeigbo, aira, inzo of bogbo ara from the Awo and they live inside the ifa of the Awo, one in each hand of ifa, each one accompanied by an odu-ara. Pin a needle in the ground in front of the pilon, send the interested person to undress and to sit on the pilon and kill an akuko in leri for him so that the eyebale falls over the needle. In this ifa you get two balls of corn tender and raw and eyele meyi. You go to the mountain and to the foot of a shrub of the Awo and clean yourself with the eyele and there you loosen them. Leave the corn balls at the foot of the tree. Then in the house you give an akuko to Elewa, Ogun, Oshosi and Shango. POWDERS TO DESTROY THE ARAYES: Prepare powder of bone of aya dun dun (black dog), ortiguilla, 17 aroma seeds, toasted ajonjoli, juju and leri of etu, 17 atare. This is placed at the foot of Ozain during 17 days and then you blow it in the house of the enemy. Look for a tojosa, make sarayeye with it and you let it go while singing: Owewea masu. After make ebo with: Akuko, ariques, abiti, ada.. The owner of this ifa has to have a black dog in his house for when there is something evil in it, he can pick up the action. For Intori Arun: Catch a vine of bananas, put an black rag underneath it and a red one over top, give it an akuko and leave it in the bathroom for seven days to scare away Iku. Then you take it to the cemetery. TO REMOVE ATTACHMENTS: Get a piece of ewa (iron chain). Curl up the chain for the interested person on his arm or on a leg and clean the person all over his body with a rooster (akuko). Bring the chain and the rooster to a railroad, cross the chain over one of the lines and that is where you tie the rooster, so that when he crosses the train, he breaks the chain and stains it with blood from the akuko. Then you make ebo with: Male chicken, the broken chain, ota, eku, eya. Then you put the ota on the interested person in the leri ya you kill the chicken and its eyebale should fll from its head over the package of ebo. If he is a man with a nude torso, if a woman wearing a blouse of asho timbelara (multi-colored blouse). Then you take that blouse and you smear it along with the ota of the male chicken. INSHE OZAIN (PROTECTION)

284

Aye, ikin eye of an ox, eyebale of malu, 7 ewe of Elewa and 7 ewe of yemaya, carbon of ozain. You have to put igi of guasima on the Ozain of the owner of this ifa and feed him two ringdoves and a woodpecker. You cannot have a caged or tied akuko in the house, you have to have it loose in the yard. SECRET OF THE ODDUN: When you see this Ifa, send the person to make ebo with a male chicken in his hand while he performs the ceremony. When he finishes, make sarayeye for everyone present and then give it to Elewa, fill it an it goes to Enigbe (the mountain). Speaks of the zunzun.

Born here was why all women are daughters of Elewa and have a hip that is higher then the other one. Be careful of being with Awo that has this Oddun of ifa so he does not steal your good luck. There are two deceased people behind you looking for a third. Be careful that you do not become the third dead person. The woman that now lives with her husband, was sick and you helped during her sickness and in your own house is where the union occurred between her and her husband. You were operated and that is why you cannot have children. That operation was because of a pregnancy. You husband has another woman with whom he has three children and one of them has the same name as his father. Be careful with women who are friends and relatives of your husband, because you may lose him. You sleep separately from your husband because you cannot sleep at his side sometimes. The woman has to wash her parts with ewe: Bitter guiro, romerillo and oi, to fight frigidity. On her Elewa she should also put a guano hat, a wooden flower-pot and three square-head nails. You live or lived in a house where there was or is coconut shrubs and one of them dried up. Be careful not to mess up your house and everything of yours. Do not lend or give away your hat. Take care of your hair because that is your pride. Do not lend or give away your clothes. You have an ala painting of an Egun that you saw in a goblet. You cannot have animals with crowns in your house. You have three enemies who want to destroy you. Always use a hat or a cap. Kofibori with Eya Tutu. You left what was certain or good for what is doubtful (for quimbasa). Be careful of someone who uses a cap. Be careful with a tragedy, because there may iron. Speaks of the power of Ori, where you give two new-born aya to the leri.

286

The strongest enemy is women. Use gorro fun fun. When this Ifa is Fore you refresh Orunmila with ewe Shungunu shawe (romerillo flower) and give him two adie. Bathe the Awo with that omiero. Give pork to Ogun. Orunmila became blind and Ogun darkened the sky. Pork to Ogun. Make Oparaldo with an eyele, undress the person in front of his Ifa. Do not eat candy because then the obini dominates the Awo. Give Elewa an owunko keke and three asiadie. The leri of the awunko and of the osiadie are nailed into a shrub. Catch three ekru, eya, akara bibo, atare, ginger, ata, (hot peppers) and owo and bring it to the foot of a ceiba and grab roots from the East and from the West for kofibori. After sleeping for sixteen nights with a white hat. At midnight give Egun an akuko fun fun at the foot of a ceiba.

To get rid of sickness place an obi painted with fun fun and another with one half arolodo and the other half pupua. Place it in front of the Saints, roll them around the house and throw them out on the street. Akuko to Eshu, adie meyi dun dun to Orunmila. If this letter comes out receiving Orunmila, you hve to make omiero of romerillo which you bind with some of the omiero from Orunmila and you give to the interested person two adie from his leri to the omiero. Then he will bathe for three days with that omiero and the soap from the sink. Give three jio jio to Elewa and place them at the foot of a shrub with three buns of carito or soft corn or of ishu (yam). When you see this Ifa you make omiero from romerillo and guira, wash Ifa when you let orunmila in, wash it with omiero from romerillo. TO CLEANSE YOURSELF: Seven obi, cleanse yourself with one each day smeared in epo and place a hat on each one with a different color for each one (*). After seven days take them to where Orunmila says. For Elewa you place an acana or jiqui flower-pot and three nails. A tobacco to smoke it before going to sleep and change the bed clothes many times throughout the year.

287

Kofibori with eyele meyi fun fun and eya tutu meyi keke. For Obatala place an ishu, eran malu and ori. You have to feed Olofin and the Earth. Make ebo with two eyele (male and female), give them to the interested person so that it encourages a young child in his house, so that as they reproduce them and love them that is how the people in the house will be. If a man, so that woman look for them and vice versa. (*) Put the seven coconuts for Elewa and over each one an iroko leaf and a hat on top (the hat are each a different color, except black). The iyefa of this Ifa should always have babosa shell. On the door of the igbodun you have to put mariwo and 16 akarabibo. Put a piece of iroko stick inside you Ifa.

The secret of this path: The Ozain of Ogunda Kete is mounted inside an agbani skull (deer) with ekutele (stripe) and other ingredients that go inside an ikoko and is inside a joro joro.

288

The person may be dominated by Egguns Adodi (inverted). You have to make Oparaldo for them. -----------------------------------------------------------------Born here is when daughters of Oshun are the ones who have to go to the mountain with the Awo, to remove ogun from it when Ogun is to be crowned. (make an Ogun). This is where Iroko (Obatala) did not like the noise and asked Olofin to live somewhere where she would be far from everything. That is why she lives on the highest part of the tree and Orishaoko was the first one who sacrificed young bulls for her (two bulls). When Orishaoko arrived where Iroko was, under that tree there were many Eguns Buruku Obayeye and he called Eshu so he would get them away from there and he succeeded thanks to Ogunda Kete. --------------------------------------------------------------------Once Ogunda kete returned to a town in which he had lived and found that he had created enemies because of envy. Ogunda kete knew a woman, won her love and convinced her to see him in the mountain, but he did not know that she was one of his enemys wife. Ogunda kete knew that he could not have two women in the same town, or that would be his misfortune. He made himself a Sodde and saw this Ifa (His Sign), who marked prayer (ebo) with: Akuko, obe, abiti.. Ogunda Kete did not make the ebo, because he thought that with traps and a knife he would never defeat his enemies and he went to the mountain to see the woman. When he saw that his enemy was waiting for him, because he saw him when he left the mountain with the woman, to save his life he had to kill him and he was arrested. For this Ifa do not believe in the Babalawos. This Ifa speaks of the witch-type of butterfly, the one that looks for light at night. The Africans sustained that through that animal they receive the evil actions of the mayomberos and enemies of the person to leave him stupefied, disabled or dead. It also indicated little firmness in his character. ---------------------------------------------------------------Religious separation was born here. Yemaya was the wife of orunmila in the Land of Abekuta, she fell in love with Adoyoko who was a strong and good-looking lad, but he was adodi (effeminate). She offered to give him what he wanted to be his wife. Cleverly he said: Orunmila should make me Ifa. Orunmila made Ifa to Adoyoko, but later he did not fulfill his promise to yemaya. Yemaya became furious and went to the plaza and began to tell the real story of Adoyoko. When Orunmila found out he threw Yemaya out of his house and said to Adoyoko: You are a renegade and I forbid you to work with ifa. Adoyoko obeyed him, but most of his godchildren left his side and others stayed with him. And that is how the Religious Separation emerged and they remained divided until in Otrupon Meyi Olofin ordered a

On the floor you paint an Atena ifa with the 16 meyis and cover it with sand from the river. Over this put a plate where Oshe-Tura, ogunda kete and Otura She has been painted with efun and oti and from right to left. On the plate place five pieces of obi with epo and its corresponding atare.

Remove all the down from the peacock, throwing it around oshun. Pick up the peacock and with the long adan of Oshun pierce its neck, pierce its chest with the knife and let it bleed over the plate and over the sand and the last drops over Oshun. Then make itutu for the peacock and give two adie to the plate and to the sand and the five remaining ones to Oshun. When you go to bury Agbeyami, throw water and break a small jar behind it as if it were Awo. The iales of the two adie to the plate and to the sand. Those from the 5 adie to oshun. On the third day make ita with oshun. On the 7th day place a plate of fruit and candy for Oshun. On the 16th day a mass in the Church for the rest of all the children of oshun. Then Obi Omi Tutu where Agbeyami is buried and all those present clean themselves with an etu which you kill against the floor. Two adie (eyele) in the river while calling Oshun.

Ogn arrived at the same time and with his machete he began to kill any human he could find in his path, until he found and beautiful young woman who he forgave and gave her her life and he spent the night with her. The next day he left and informed Olofin that he had destroyed the entire town. Some years went by and Olofin went by that region and saw the town and, knowing that Ogun had betrayed him, since he had not destroyed it entirely, he called him to ask him for an explanation. Then he ordered to go and kill them all this time.

292

Ogun arrived to the town and began to kill everyone he found in his path, until he was confronted by a young man, who was as courageous as him, who he could not defeat and, when the fight between these two men became terrible, the young mans mother appeared and yelled at him: Give me that machete because you are fighting against your own father. When Ogun heard those words, he recognized the woman who was the young woman he had forgiven the previous time; he asked the woman: Woman, is that your son? She answered: Yes and yours as well because you are his father. When ogun understood that he had been fighting with his own son, he let go of his machete and left. Speaks of womans curiosity.

Olofin had many people imprisoned and they would make too much of a scandal in the room where they were kept and Orunmila asked for the rescue of them all. Olofin assured that he had no one prisoner. Orunmila continued to hear the scandal of the people and when olofin noticed this and to not get caught in a lie and prove he was not lying, he assured Orunmila that what he had locked up were pigs, not people, he cursed them all and turned them into pigs. When Orunmila went into that room, he proved that there were only pigs and that what Olofin had said was true. That is why the pig has the same organs as humans. Do not kill pigs, use them for ceremonies dedicated as change of heads. In this path this oddun marks Transformation.

He gave it to him, but when he tried to grab him otumbe, he escaped, and the Aya of oba otumbe, whos name was Oko Iyolori, fell behind him, he picked it up, but he ate the leri. Oba otumbe cried when he saw his dog eat the lero of okete (rat) and hit him with sticks and his dog began to vomit, and Abukenke Sogun told Oba Otumbe: Pick up the dogs vomit that has the leri of okete and bring it to Awo Oyo Okewe Ogunda fun so he can make the ebo. They went there and sang: Oba Otungbe ayegue Okete iguale yague lamishe ebo. When they arrived at awo Oko Okewe ogunda Funs house he was at the door give adie to Elewa and let them pass. Then he made ebo to Oba otungbe with the dogs vomit and gave eyebale to the leri of Oba Otungbe and Abukenke Sogun. When the Ceremony was over, Abukenke Sogun said: I will take you to the Land of Ikoyi and the Aya went behind him and the people of Oba Otungbe. When Abukenke

OSA MEYI

This Oddun of Ifa is feminine. Daughter of Euje and Ogue. Day of the week: Oya Oti (Friday). Ruling Planet: Olare (Venus). Metal: Copper Colors to dress in: Green and Carmelite. Osa Meyi means: Air, useless thing. DEFINITION OF THIS ODDUN. This is an Oddun of Ifa in which everything is up in the air. The children of this Ifa are rebellious and somewhat tragic and like to interfere in other peoples business and are always making up things out of the ordinary. They are like the Wind and if they do not do things in order they will always be up in the air. They have everything, just as they lose everything in an instant for not analyzing things before doing them. They are Spiritualists and have a Great Being or Entity that accompanies them in their passage through life and helps them to be victorious in anything they propose to do, but they also lose everything because of pride. They are hard-headed and do not listen to advice. They think they know everything and that they are always right in everything they say or do. They are commanding and always want to win and that everything they say and want should prevail, which is why they lose friends and other treat them with discretion, not because they want it like that, but for the way they act. The son of this Ifa is moody and likes everyone to only follow him; they stop dealing with their friends because of suppositions of things that they think, that these friends say or do. Because of their caprice they lose their head or suffer great adversities. They suffer from Deliria of greatness and they brag about being wise; they think they are very important and that they deserve everything and do not want anyone to excel more than them. They are deceptive in every sense and will die for their pride or in fights because of stabbing wounds. Everyone who has something of this Ifa, must learn to control themselves and accept that others have a right to think, decide and tell the truth, just like them. Osa Meyi governs the existing relations between the Earth and the Sun and between the Earth and the Moon. Osa Meyi does not recognize the poor or the rich, old or young, princes or kings. For him all human beings are the same. Osa Meyi is the Oddun authorized to call the different Oddun on the Tablero when you make Ebo. Osa Meyi is the World of Spirits.

299

Represents the Feminine Domain over Man. That is why in all the spells to Attach Men you have to work through this Oddun of Ifa. Pray it and place it in the Atenas that are made to feed the animals. Speaks of Black Magic. Osa Meyi gives money but poverty pursues the person. Osa Meyi returns the Evil and pursues whomever plants discord. The owner of this Ifa survives and buries his brothers.

This Ifa speaks of Discredits, Boasting of Knowledge and of Delirium of Greatness. Even though Fore is coming, this Ifa is Intori Arun. Be very careful because you may go insane and die. ------------------------------------------------Here Oshun gave his son to Yemaya so he could save him. Here, the mother has to give her son to another person to raise him, to save her son and so he does not have the same difficulties that she had. Go to the shore of the Ocean with a bouquet of flowers and tell your sorrows to Yemaya and leave the flowers there. Do not ask for anything, just tell her about your sorrows so you can get her help. BIRTH OF THE RED BLOOD CELL: The the beginning of Creation, when Ara Ikuo (the Spirit of the Skeleton) has formed the support of the body by order of Oloddumare. When the body was finished, three main Spirits descended over it, who were commanded by Ogunda meyi and who were: Olori (the Spirit of the Head), Ipari (the one who ruled the extremities) and Ipejeun (who ruled the entrails). But it turns out that the body, although it had blood, did not have the strength to move. And since then everything that is brought to life is eye, both for living beings and for Oshas and Orishas. This Oddun of Ifa for osobo Intori Arun, may speak of problems in the blood that are more or less serious, from anemia, diabetes, hypoglycemia (low sugar), even leukemia. WHERE THE PIGEON MADE SHANGO ILL. Shango was called Alufina Akakamasia. He lived in the Land of onibu Ode and he was feared and respected by everyone, but he had many hidden enemies who would try to eliminate him. Among his many hidden enemies there was one of the intimate ones whos name was Gbonko, who wished to replace him in the government of the Land of Onubu Ode, and since he knew that Shango was crazy for pigeons, he prepared an afoshe and blew it on the pigeons and he cast a spell on them. When Shango ate a pigeon, he became seriously ill and then ordered his servants to bring him to Orunmila. In the Sodde he got this Ifa and Orunmila said: Ifa says that you ate something that made you sick because of an afoshe, that they put on the food. Do not eat that kind of food anymore and place a guardian to eat it for you. You also have to make orubo with: Akuko meyi fun fun and a mallet of mariwo, to put it on the path where your enemy has to pass. Shango did it all and when the Gbonko passed he stepped on the ebo and died. Then Olufina Akakamasia called his most trusted servant, which was Ogue, and placed him as porter so he would eat the eyele that was sent to him, given that Ogue had Power against Witchcraft and nothing could hurt him.

301

And since then Ogue eats the Eyele for Shango. The Awo should never eat food sent by unknown people, he should place them for Elewa telling him that if there is something bad in them to go against the person that sent it. Someone wants to kill you by adding something bad in the food. This path determines that Shango does not eat pigeons, they are given to Ogue (the Jars that live in Shangos soup pots) which are placed on a plate and given to him. OYA EXCEPT TO AGAYU. When Agayu was pursued by his enemies, almost being lost, when stepping on Oyas side she threw her nine-color blanket on him. When the enemies of Agayu crossed near him they confused him with Oya, stopped running and asked him: Where did Agayu hide? And as thanks from Oya, Agayu uses a blanket with nine colors. A woman will save you from great danger. THE PATH OF THE THREE DIFFICULTIES. The person who is the owner of this ifa will pass through three great difficulties or adversities during the course of his life. You live far away from your son. You may be arrested and in jail you cannot cripple. To conquer you cannot curse or complain about bad luck. COTTON AND BIRDS. Olofumare created the Universe and Obatala and him created Man, to whom he passed some of his influence and gave him will and intelligence. When Obatala arrived on Earth, who is one and sixteen at the same time, the Cotton had the glory of covering Obatala, because of its softness and whiteness. Obatala named him his house. Ou (Cotton) fulfilling his mission conscientiously it would tie him up constantly, since Obatala could not expose himself to the inclemency or suffer the heat and the glare of Solar Light. Shenuggo (the Cardenal), who wanted to self-proclaim himself King of the Birds, resting on his beauty, would have given up his crown and one of his beautiful feathers with which he thought he spoiled Agbeyami (the Peacock), the Quetzal and other many birds with beautiful feathers, so as to enjoy the glory that Cotton enjoyed when dressing Obatala. Since he could not reach such high distinction, he gathered the other birds to find a way to destroy Cotton forever.

302

They went to talk to Olorun, with the Moon, with the Wind and with Water so they would destroy Cotton. Ou saw with fear how the Gusano Lokare punctured its roots, during the day the intense Sun would constantly bother it, then the intense rain tried to destroy it, then the Violent Afefe (Wind) tried to tear it out by its roots and at night the cold Moon tried to freeze it to death. The next day Ou went to orunmilas house who made him a Soddie, he saw this Ifa and said: Your enemies are trying to kill you because of envy and he made him an ebo with his suit fun fun and eyele meyi fun fun and ordered him to place it as an Offering in Leri Oke, where Obatala walked. At noon, when Obatala was coming down from the hillock, he tripped over the ebo and stained his clothes and annoyed he said: What osado had the nerve to put his filth in my path. Elewa who was nearby said to him: Baba, that is an ebo. At that moment the birds went by and told Obatala: It was Cotton. Obatala annoyed goes to look for Cotton, but this one had been warned by Orunmila of the great betrayal of his enemies, he went in his path, kneeled in front of Baba and said to him: Baba, it was me Ou who put the ebo in your way by order of orunmila to free myself of my enemies. Annoyed, Obatala answered: You have no need to make ebo, you have no enemies, you are noble, good and honest. Ou answered: Because you are the white and soft layer of my owner and of all that has been created, the Birds joined to end my life. And he told him everything they had done against him. Also, those evil birds had the osadie of devouring all my children. Obatala answered: That is why it was so hot yesterday, then it rained a lot on the Earth, the Wind blew severely and I felt so cold at night. I bless you child, you were right to go to Orunmilas house and the Birds will never come back to offend you or cause you the least bit of harm without suffering my harsh punishment. When the Birds saw that Cotton had returned after a short time and that he had flowered again, they went to pick at his children and, when they tried they fell blind on the earth, because their eyesight was damaged. This ifa determines that the person has the unconditional help of Obatala. Do not conspire to harm anyone, because you they not succeed in their intentions and you they will persecute themselves greatly. You have to be careful of sharp pains or strange objects in your eyes, because you could even go blind. The Obini has a vaginal parasite that eats the sperm, which means she cannot become pregnant. If she is pregnant she may lose the baby. Make ebo. The father who had a daughter and wanted many good things for her. He had many lands and wanted to give them to his daughter.

The daughter was hard-headed and moody and very stubborn and, when her father died, whe only did what she wanted and she lost everything. Children do not know how to value the sacrifices of their parents, who suffer shortages to not leave them abandoned in life and then they do not know how to take care of what they were left. This is where Abo could not eat epo and he ate it and a ball formed in his stomach that killed him. SECRET OF ODDUN.

Be careful of being surprised and suffering an embarrassment. You will receive good luck but first you have to go through three difficulties or adversities. Be calm and do not complain.

Osalo Fobeyo laminagadda tori yampo be lampe Shango kawo kabie sile laminagadda adifafun Eshu Yelu Obarona Oba Eshu Yelu yenye ewa ni Olokun eni Ifa Eshu Yelu Piriti omode Alara lampe Shango laminagadda. SUYERE: Piriti piriti omode alara. Piriti piriti omode alara. Piriti piriti omode alara., laminagadda. Here women lost their supremacy in Religion. This is where Virtue was born where the Oshas come down to human behavior. Here Shakuana (Saint Lazaro) prepared his ikoko for Witchcraft, which he called ibako, he wrapped it in asho dun dun and fun fun and fed him cat, chameleon, eagle and tiosa. Hypocracy was born here, although the person speaks well, it is not true. Temptation was born here and everything that is not legal. Born were musical devices, magic books. The person possesses a special hability in his fingers and hands and lives from that. He may be a magician (Illusionist) and even a pickpocket. Born were womens nipples on their breasts. Born was the Power of the Aberikunlo herb (Espanta Muerto), to scare away Iku. (Eggun). You have to receive Azonwanu (Saint Lazaro), because in this Ifa there is a very large commitment with him. Born is the separation of Good and Evil. Edun eletun eshe ile kanfetun edun eletu bami ariku babawa. Indicates the Separation of the Awo with his Godfather Osalo Foberyo becaue of lack of attention from the Godfather toward his Godson, where he said that he loves him very much but there is disillusionment. You suffer from high blood pressure, the heart, intoxications, skin breakouts, like psoriasis, etc. You cannot eat eggs, pumpkin, Swiss chard, chocolate or foods that will intoxicate you. The main ewe of this ifa is Swiss chard, which is why Osalo Fobeyo should not eat it, because he saves himself with it during Prayer of the head, in baths, when cleansing the head, in ebo. Do not eat white beans. Born was when Okpele Deceives Osalo Fobeyo and that is why the day that he is influenced by the Eguns of Light, by the Oshas, Orishas, the Stars, by Olofin, that day he foretells, but on the days he is influenced by the Obsessive and Dark Egguns and by

307

Abita (the Devil), that day he does not foretells anything for anyone. This is because in this Ifa the Peludo (the hairy one) and the Pelado [the bald one] (Olofin and Abita) sat together to eat at the table. You are with God and with the Devil. Ozain Adobore was born. You cannot have any type of business or relations with effeminates or with alakuatas (dykes). On the other hand you may have them with pashangaras (prostitutes). Osalo Fobeyos happiness is living with a woman that has prostituted herself enough. This is where the Awo that Oddun (Olofin) has may mount all the Oshas that he knows. The two-faced Elewa was born here. Speaks of the Two Faces. The Ebos of this Ifa must always include Spider Webs. Memory for this Ifa is given by odududwa. The fidelity you look for always arrives at old age, that is, at the end of life. The Awo of this Oddun like the Omofa of this Oddun (The one that has only One Hand of Ifa) is Alae, that is, Servant of Oduduwa (Oddua) and has the same Power on Earth as in the Heavens, but he has the need to Receive Oduduwa. Put two bracelets inside of Ifa. When any Awo sees this Ifa in a Reading, he has to sleep in the open air in front of his Ifa for seven days. Speaks of impotence. When the person is making his life he cannot concentrate in what he is doing because his mind is weak and he thinks about other things. He weeps in bed while sleeping. You have to take good care of your children so they do not get lost. You have to make piatas and parties for the Jimaguas. You have to place a mirror in front of your door. Use a hat, bonnet or cap. You should not socialize with other people. If you are given money to hold do not spend it, because when they ask for it in return and you do not have it you will have a great embarrassment. Put an Obi and six cents for Eshu so that you do not spend this money. You have to have Mass for deceased relatives and light candles and attend to them. Your Elewa is red or streaked or ripped. Take care of him. Be careful of having a fall. One of your children has a mole in a buttock, he is omo of Obatala. Put the necklace of Baba on him. Someone set a trap for you and you fell in it, because they were preparing it for you for a long time. You always have to be dressed neatly, you cannot use dirty or stained clothing. Do not meddle in illicit things so that you do not have problems with the law or lose your morals. Be careful with Violating a minor or the affectation of a child. You have to Work the Saint. You have to put music on in the house. You have to Make Oparaldo because you have an Egun attached. Someone will come to your house to bring you something bad.

308

Ifa Osobo: Eshu is waiting for you in Ile iku. If this letter comes out in an ita, it indicates that before the end of the Year a relative of that person will die. When any person Mounts on a strong and furious Osha, you say three time: ERO BABA KALIKE. And if he is a Saint of truth, he will calm down right away. Here you Feed an Ounce to Abita (In Cuba you give Cat because there are no Ounces, which is a feline from Asia), so that this one goes out to make things bad in fthe World so that the Aleyos (the clients) go to Osalo Fobeyos house (of the Babalawo) to resolve his problems. Osalo Fobeyo does not resolve anything completely for anyone, to have that person making different Work and he lives, since when he resolves the problem of Aleyo he will never come back to his house. Osalo Fobeyo has to use a prepared gold ring. Osalo Fobeyo has to use a walking stick made of moruro or cocuyo wood, with two faces carved in the opening, one of a man and behind one of a woman. You Load it: Iye of chameleon, scorpion, earth from underneath and earth from above a hillock, from seven cemeteries, from the foot of a ceiba, from a palm tree, from a bank, aari (sand) from the sea and from the river, root of ceiba, of palm, atiponla, bitter broom, 21 atare, palo cocuyo, earth from the curb of a well, eru, obi kola, osun, eku, eya, epo, awado. To that load you give an eyele, an ayapa, two aparo and a young female chicken if possible. On Holy Friday you feed a young high female chicken through the mans face and on the rest of the walking stick, on the face of the woman you feed a male animal. WHEN THE ODDUN OSALO FOBEYO APPEARS IN AN ITUTU. Make omiero of ewe aberikunlo (espanta muerto), you crush sixtenn caracoles de babosa (igbin); with this iye you mark Osalo Fobeyo and pray and then throw it in the omiero and season it with epo. With this omiero you wash your hands, face and joints of the arms and legs all those present, then do the same with oti, and lastly with efun. After the Oba spatter everyone present with that omiero and spray it all over the house. This is after making the Oparaldo. While everyone cleans themselves with the omiero and plus, when the Oba spatters it and sprays it all over the house, you sing: Aberikunlo kosher wao. Aberikunlo kishe wao. For this Ifa you give 101 eyele to Elewa and, when you cannot, give him an eyele and place 101 juju (feathers) of eyele (pigeon) for him. When this ifa comes Osobo, paint the ile white, place a small white house for elewa, give osiadie meta to Elewa and to the small house, season well and two go for Nigbe (swamp) and the other one you hang on a shrub. If you can give an akuko and its meat are placed in three different places.

309

Cover obatala with asho fun fun and put an igba of eko fifo that is very thick (sarao of eko with oti).

Toast a peregun or aroma thorn and make iye, pray on the Tablero with: Oshe Tura, Osalo Fobeyo and Otura She and blow it in shilikun of ile (on your door) and you smear your arms and face with it so that no araye runs into you on the street. This is also done with any Awo when he sees this Ifa at the beginning of the Day. SPELL OF BOTH CASSEROLES TO RESOLVE SITUATIONS.

With the water coconut you cut a piece at the bottom so you can sit it on the ground, cut a piece on the top and insert the candle which you light once inside. Stand up the interested person in front of the omiero casseroles, give your Elewa so that it supports you over your leri along with the ei adie (chicken egg) and the three breads (akara bibo meta). Give Obi Omi Tutu to Elewa. Sacrifice the eyele over Elewa, the eyele should run over the persons head and fall inside the omiero casserole. Then you bathe with tha omiero. The other casserole, which did not get eyebale (blood), place it at the end of the house, you then take it to the front and move it from place to place for three days and then you throw it out on the street.

There is a legend that says that Osalo Fobeyo is the son of Oshun from his feet to his shoulders, from there up everything belongs to Shango.

Smear the ikoko or the tile with epo and efun and inside paint Otura-Niko and osalo Fobeyo, throw on some male Sargasso leaves and some oti and place over the cloths, that are already on the floor inside a circle of efun where you wrote the Atena of Oparaldo, in the following order: First the red cloth, on top of that the white cloth and over that one the black cloth that will also have the Atena of Oparaldo painted on it. The person stands in front of this. Place the small house inside the circle where you light the two candles. Remove a strip from each one of the three cloths, which were as long as a rod, place them next to each other and joing them in the middle with a knot, therefore measuring the knot from the centre that ties the three strips towards an end, at the middle you make a separate knot for each strip. (We already have four knots). From the middle to the other side you calculate half and for each strip you make a separate knot. (We already have 7 knots). Twist the three strips from an end and there you tie the asiadie by the feet. (We already have eight knots). At the other end of the strips you do the same thing and you tie together a branch from each herb, (We already have the nine knots). In an appropriate container make omiero with basil leaves, of espanta muerto, of carob tree and Sargasso. Give the strip to the individual who imprisons the osiadie and the herbs so that he supports everything over his forehead. Proceed to give Obi Omi Tutu to the Oparaldo, moyugbando like the Awo is used to. Proceed to make sarayenye to the person by catching the Awo on the osiadie and the herbs that tie the strips and the interested person turns around in a counterclock motion, the Awo says: Sarayenye bakuno, sarayenye bakuno Osiadie aremu. Sarayenye bakuno sarayenye bakuno Oparaldo Alado. Sarayenye bakuno, sarayenye bakuno Oparaldo Somo. Alter you wash him well, singing that suyere many times, stand it up with its back to him, put the osiadie ad the herbs in the nape, pray the Oddun iroso Tolda, blow a buche of oti in the nape and with a strong hit you kill the osiadie over the cloths that are inside the circle. Order the interested person to pick up the small house and to place it under his arm and leaves for another far place, without looking back. When you are about to make the detachment, after praying Iroso Tolda, sing: Osalo Fobeyo Piriti Piriti omode Alare. Osalo Fobeyo Piriti piriti omode alara. Osalo Fobeyo piriti piriti omode alara laminagadda.

313

When you gave coconut that everything eboda, you pick up everything. You wrap the osiadie and the herbs along with the coconuts in the cloths and then in estrasa paper without letters and place it in a place away from the circle. All of those present begin to wash their faces, napes, joints in the arms and legs in the container where you pass the necks of the pigeons to the interested person through his leri so that it catches some of the blood. When the Awo sings Sorolo shorolo, you answer: Omode Alara, laminagadda. You should have a whith thread prepared that is smeared in ori and efun, which is put on the leri and over it you put the cotton and the white cloth. When the person has taken ogu (witchcraft), pick the bark from the shrub of wild guira, soft plantain peel, cundiamor leaves and 16 atare. Place everything to dry in the Sun and make ieya nd pray on the tablero with: Oshe Tura, osalo Fobeyo and otura She. Then you put it in a plate next to Shango or Elewa (ask) and you give an akuko to the osha and the plate. Then leave the powder to dry in the Sun and give to the interested person to drink. You have to shake the garbage can on the street because your enemies throw garbage in it. (witchcraft). Pray the leri at the foot of Obatala. Put Ishu for Orunmila and Olofin. Give a one-eyed akuko to the fathers Egun, if he is deceased. Wash the portal of the house with soapy water, salt and ashes. Wash the portal with omiero made with Swiss chard. Give an eyele to Eshu having the interested person kneel down, in a way so that he does not face him, singing the suyere: Piriti piriti omode alara. Then the interested person will step on the eyebale that is on the floor and the body of the eyele. Grill the eyele with epo, add eku, eya, awado, chalk with white and black threads and place in front of Eshu. Then take it where he says, with the coconut. Here Olofin said to Elewa: Yes, when I hiss at you in the mountain you will find me, I will send you to Orunmilas house so he can make Ifa on you. Olofin would hiss and hide behind the banana shrub and Eshu could not see him. Eshu was already annoyed and was beginning to lose control, when Shango confirmed that he passed through there and, when he say Eshu annoyed he asked him: What is wrong with you that you are annoyed? Eshu told him what was happening. Shango said to him: Get behind me and look that way while I look this way. When Olofin hissed, Shango said to him: You crafty devil, you are behind that banana shrub and you now have to pay both of us the Ifa. Here it speaks of the two faces. -------------------------------------------------------------------------Here it speaks of the Banana Shrub. When the banana shrub gives birth, it dies.

314

Osalo Fobeyo kills his mother. He kills her against his will. ------------------------------------------------------------------------Here it speaks of the Scorpion. When Scorpions are born, they climb on their mother and eat her. --------------------------------------------------------------------------Osalo Fobeyo does not have happiness in his house and goes out to find it on the street. In this Ifa was born that the Babalawo cannot resolve the problems of humans of a hit because they are not grateful to him. You have to resolve peoples problems little by little. This is where Abita (The Devil) ate for the first time along with olofin. The path of the Scorpions. Path of the active and passive homosexual. If it is about women, they are lesbians. Here the horseman had a very spirited and beautiful horse and he was in love with it and would agree with it on everything but had no power over him, since everytime he would go ride him, first he would pet him to let him on, but after he was on the horse would take him where he felt like and he would let him out of pity. One day the horse took the horseman to places where he foung himself in distress and since the horse was not used to obey they both hurt themselves on an obstacle. Put character in your spouse, so that you do not lose each other and your children do not lack respect and consideration for you. -----------------------------------------------------------------------Here obba cut his ears and cooked them for Shango with corn flour to feed him, so that the people would beat ogun. When Shango noticed what obba had done, he disowned her. The woman makes sacrifices for her husband and he is not thankful. Ifa of the ungrateful. This is where Olofin sent orunmila to the Earth so that after he fixed it, he would return to the Heavens. Orula agreed. Orunmila fell in love with the Earth and did not return to Heaven. The person does not fulfill the promise he made. --------------------------------------------------------------Olofin was sitting on the table and Lucifer was sitting on the other end. When Elewa came in to serve Olofin his food, when he saw Lucifer he asked olofin: Dad, why are you, who is so good and kindhearted, eat with that individual who is so evil? Olofin answered: Do not be astonished by this my son, because if it werent for him, who preaches evil, we would not live. The person may be jimagua. Spiritually he is jimagua, he has an Egun that persuades him to do Good and another that persuades him to do Evil. One of those Eguns is identical to you although a different color.

The reason why Awo is the one who has to Shave his Godchildren with magay (scissors) and Abe (razor) in the Consecrations of the Oshas (Saints) is because if someone is consecrated in Osha he must always have a Shadow and the Blessing of Awo so that his Consecration is Ire. Eshu Griyelu was born here,

Ifa Osobo: The person has to eat well, take vitamins and even has to use injections because he is very week in the blood and in the brain and may go crazy or get leprocy. Avoid sleeping just after eating and feeling bad on a full stomach because you will suffer from a brain hemorrhage. Maferefun (you have to give thanks) to the Ibeyis, Shango and to Orishaoko. You have to pay Tribute to the Earth which is Orishaoko to lengthen your life and enjoy good health. Because of this Ifa they do not take good care of the Saints. You suffer from leg problems because of bad circulation in the blood (because of problems in the blood circulations), of insomnia, of weakness in the blood (anemia), pains in the waist. Put isogui (fruits from shrubs, no creepers or climbing plants like melons, grapes, fruit from the cundiamor) for the Ibeyis, for Shango and for Orishaoko. Speaks of an Egun in the house and that is why there are wars there. For this ifa they are waiting for the person to give him the Power of Command of a Land.

The person had Necklaces that he threw out, which is why he has bad health and a bad economic situation. He had three children, they are from different fathers or different mothers.

If two are jimaguas, the person may be jimagua or there are surely jimaguas in the family, nephews, cousins, uncles, brothers, etc. You have to paint your house white and make a line of efun along the width of the door to the street. You have to pay your debts to Saint Lazaro and place epo in a cup or plate and put it up high so that the sickness leaves the house. Never say you are bored. It was a country that did no know rain, because it had not rained there for a long time and, all the lagoons, rivers and wells began to dry up. So they went to see orunmila, they got this ifa and orunmila told them: You are being punished by Ad Serpe, the Spirit of Water, since none of you or any of your parents followed the custom of the ancestors of this Land of make offerings to Olokun, Yemaya and Oshun. Orunmila marked ebo with: Akuko, osiadie meyi, adie mefa, eyele, mefa, omi okun, omi losa and omi ile ibu, eku, eya, epo.. They gave the akuko and the asidadie to Olokun and two adie, two eyele. Two adie and two eyele to Yemaya and two adie and two eyele to oshun and, shortly after it began to rain over the Land and the vegetation was revived and the animals and people began to gain weight. And that is how peace and happiness returned to that Land. In this Ifa Ozain was looking ofr the Power he was missing and went to be seen by Orunmila, who made him a Sodde, saw this ifa and said: To obtain the Power you are looking for you have to eat something you have never eaten and, it is akuko shashara (grifo rooster). Ozain answered: Good, but it frightens me to eat it. Orunmila said: Take out its left eye and knock it on the ground by the beek. That is how Ozain ate akuko shashara and got the Power he needed. This is where Olofin distributed everything of his giving his kingdoms to each Saint. Eshu appeared the penultimate day and asked Olofin to have Power over the Earth. Olofin granted it to him. Ashikelu maferefun Orishaoko, who spoke with Elewa for her son Tobias, so he would let him sow. Tobias helped Inle to fish and would exchange fish for food with orishaoko. To live you need competition and the help of other people. There was a Farmer and one day when he was tired of working he layed down very exhausted and had a nap, which upon awakening he considered to be bad, because in the dream he found himself digging up the dead that had prenda and for which reason he was caught by the law. When he woke up he told his wife with fright. She advised him to be Seen by orunmila. The Farmer accepted his wifes advice and went to be Seen at orunmilas house. In the Reading he got this ifa of Oddun Toyale. Orunmila sent him to make ebo with: Akuko, pico, pala, barreta, guataca..

319

Shortly after making ebo the Farmer found a dead person inside the forest that had a band full of jewels. When he picked them up two policemen took away half of that shoe in exchange for not arresting him. The Farmer then made an offering to Saint Lazaro and fulfilled his promise to him. Shortly after those policemen were thrown out of their work and, since the Farmer was already rich, because he had multiplied his riches through his business, the ex-policemen would sell him the jewels they took from him little by little at a very low price, since they could not sell them to anyone else without having to justigy where they came from and finally they even sold him their Lands. Fulfill the promises you have offered the Saints and always take care of them so that your luck is greater every day. Ebo: Make an ikoko from meat broth and yam and put it at the foot of a hillock along with the epo, which is: 2 akuko, 2 etu, the sick persons clothes and 9 fruits from trees. Then you make ebo again with: 2 eyele fun fun, 2 akuko fun fun, cinnamon, ivory and a ladder. Ebo: Akuko, eyele, ekuekueye, refined corn, eku, eya, epo.. Give an akuko grifo to a deep ikoko with mashed yams and nine pieces of obi. Do not cut the leri from the akuko. Eyebale from the rooster to the ikoko and to Egun. Take it to the hillock, place the ikoko under a tree and hang the akuko over the leri.

Here you can lose your life for doing favors. This is where the tiger could not eat the goat. The person arrives at the Awos house frightened, because he does not know what to do after having done favors and he is afraid of losing it all. You have to Receive Odde urgently. You are son of Oshosi. Skill is worth more than strength. You have to be truthful so you do not fail in life. Birth fo the Thunder. Born here was Ayalua, the mother of Shango. You have to pray to Elewa with fruits. For this Ifa the Spirit that chases the person is missing a leg. Here it speaks of natural development. This is an Oddun that is dangerous. You have to make a lot of ebo so you can free yourself of Iku. For osobo, the person inexorably walks on the path to his quick death. You have to receive Orishaoko. This is where Orishaoko is the father of Argayu. Because Orishaoko is the Earth and Argayu is the Volcano. Do not cheat so you are not killed. Here the woman was united with her enemies and they all paid her badly. So that you are well you have to live deceiving those that you have as friends. This is where everyone wanted to be the Sky and no one wanted to be the Earth, since people spit and step on this one. Before that situation of discontent, there was only one that seeing that the rest of her siblings were rejecting the Aile (the Earth), which was the daughter of Olofin where the Great spirit lived: Inle Oguere Afokoyeri, said to Olofin, who had the representation of Oloddumare: Father, I accept to be the owner of the Earth and in it I will sustain all the plants, all the animals and all men. That was Orishaoko. Olofin thanked him and said: From now on your children will be my children and you will be blessed and will rule eternally and your secrets shall never leave the Earth. Olofin picked up a moruro walking stick that had a curve on the handle, he put an igba in the opening with eight ribbons with eigh igbin (caracoles) from red-haired people and said to him: With this you will rule on Earth because you are the son of Marikoto and everyone will always worship you ad when they make offerings to you they will have to paint the walking stick with dots of osun (red) and of efun (white).

321

Then Olofin cleaned Orishaoko with bogbo ere, bogbo izo (grains and fruits), opolopo epo, eku, eya, awado and gave them to inle oguere (threw them in an opening). Then he cleaned it with osiadie and eyele and gave them to Inle Oguere Afokoyeri and Olfin and Osa Woriwo (Orunmila), who was his secretary, the sang: Orishaoko iku Afefe Aro Ogodo gailotitigbaro agba ma agba Aye Osha Ara Gege sarayeye Agba Ma Agba Aye Osha Ara Gege Sarayeye Agba Ma eke fu ayo sarayeye gai omo oko suayu sarayeye Agba Ma Agba Aye Sarayeye. So Orishaoko was able to odara and was able to begin to live on the Earth and that is how this Secret lives with osa Woriwo accompanying Orishaoko in all the fights that originated on Earth because of envy, betrayal, curses, etc. Note: This is the Secret where you have to mount for the children of Orishaoko and the Spells that you have to make to the walking stick and to Orishaokos son. After this stick is consecrated it lives next to Orishaoko. OPARALDO OF OSA WO. An adie jabada, 2 atana, obi, eku, eya, asho fun fun, dun dun and pupua, ewe aberikunlo, carob and basil or those determined by orunmila with the Reading.

You have many enemies because your are blessed. You like to set traps for people. You cannot do any favors because they normally pay you poorly. You have two friends that are your worse enemies because they are envious of you. You have a woman who is thinking of leaving you. Make ebo so that your enemies cannot defeat you.

For this Ifa give six adie dun dun to Orunmila. Speaks of the Spirits of Egun, called: Eguleleko and Yeko Shisi Guegue. Born is the Grouping of Men in Societies or Towns to be able to survive. In this Ifa you work for someone that does not deserve it. Recommends you to separate yourself from everything that is evil. Marks Set Backs and Destruction because of an Egun that has it like that. Give Eure to Oya. Make an Awan. Then you open the Eure and fill it with the Cleansing Awan, sew it and leave it in a plaza. On the third day make Ita with the Dilogun of Oya. Born here were the Spells that you make with isheri (nails), for which each time you make one of those Spells you pray this Ifa. The Awo of this Ifa has to feed his leri once per year directly with his ifa 16 eyele fun fun, after making ebo with them. This Ifa determines that each one with their native ability will live with that and has to be satisfied with their luck and not envy others, since there is the humble worker that lives like a King and, there are those who having more than they need, want everything, because they have not found Spiritual Peace in their lives, which is after health, the greatest wealth that you can enjoy on Earth. Here Woman and Man lived together but without being in love with each other, without illusions, but a thunderbolt hit and the Woman got blood from menstruation and the Man became disillusioned, because procreation came. Then the Woman was able to have children and the Man fell in love with the woman but she did not fall in love with him. The Woman likes another Man and the Man likes another Woman. The Woman has been left a widow twice and now has another husband. There are elder relatives who are sick and others who are deceased. You have to hold on to the Eguns and Yemaya. The person is crazy or you have to make him crazy in a Casserole.

Marks Betrayal in the house. Put a bellows for Elewa. Place Kururu or Kalalu for Shango to avoid Betrayal. Ruru or Kalalu: Yam broth, plantain, shrimp and animal meat. Osa Di says: Do not be so stubborn and have a brain. Spell: Obori eleda with 16 eyele fun fun from the leri of Obatala. Make iye from the 16 leri of eyele, of leri of etu, of pumpking seeds, ilekan, oi, and put it in a jicara painted white and yellow, tie it with pita and add a juju of aikordie and put it behind the door at the bottom where no one can see, add efun. Charge $50.00 so that the Awo does not stay poor. This is to avoid shoveling from your friends. Everyday, while he prepares this Spell, prays: Ishe Oshe ni Oshe kolomo tobata ishe wole iba efi muni adifafun Baba bokun boroki akuko, eyele lebo. SPELL TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A CLIENTS OBSESSIVE EGUN. When Awo wishes to obtain the Destructive Power of an Egun that will separate a person before making the Oparaldo, it goes to the foot of a Cuban plantain shrub, there you give Obi Omi Tutu, asking: Obsessive Egun of: So and so, do you want to stay with me for what I ask? If the Coconut says yes, give it a jio jio. Then take the person to the foot of that shrub and there you make him Oparaldo. On the third day the Awo returns there and cuts a piece of stick from that shrub, writes the name and last name of the Obsessive Egun and the Oddun Oyenun Meyi, Osa Di and otura Niko, prays, blows oti and puts him to eat with the Ibo Egun. Then each time you have the need to let go of that Egun, scrape some of the stick for the iye and it is the same as the Kirumba. When you see this Ifa it Speaks of the Godfather that may lose his luck. Strengthen Ogun with some of the following pieces (the ones that say Ifa). Bellows, 7 nails, scythe, small iron tablero, plough, machete. This is to recover your health. Pray the leri with two eyele fun fun, that you then throw the feathers on the blood, put the cotton on top of the feathers and lastly the white cloth. There was a time when women, when they were going to get married, had to go to the river seven days in a row to get water. There was a maid that would tell her friend: If I have to go seven days to take out water from the river before I get married, I prefer the Ocean to swallow me whole. Shortly after that maid got engaged to be married and with the wedding near she repeated the same phrase. But because that was an old custom in that Land, she had to go to the river to get water. When she got to the river, when she inserted the pitcher in it her hands slipped and when she tried to pick it up, it slipped and fell inside the river and the current took it to the Ocean, where a whirlpool swallowed it.

325

Note: Do not criticize the customs of your Elders so that you do not lose. The Queen gave birth and they stole her omo, which after some time became Awo of orunmila and won a lot of reputation of being knowledgeable. One day this young Awo arrived at a distant Land and the King called him, so he could consult him. He told him: Whatever you lost will appear. The king now annoyed, responded: The only thing that I lost was my son that my enemies took from me when he was born. On his body he had two hair moles. When the Awo heard the Kings words, he took of his shirt and when the King saw him he threw himself on him and gave him a big hug, since he was the Kings son. And that is how a new life began for the Awo who had experienced so many difficulties during his childhood. Ogun was very suffocated throwing air on the Forge to revive the candela: at that moment the Bellows appeared and helped him to revive her without any difficultad. Then Ogun concluded that the Bellows would be very useful for him and tied him to the Forge enslaving him. And the Bellows was enslaved for being disobedient. Speaks of Shishiriku, Dark Eguns that move the marriage from the person.

Osa Roso Kukute kuku adifaun Ei tinshela Osa Adere adie lebo oboa imbembe. For this Ifa you have to give an abo to Shango to open the roads. Obatala Oyu Oluoko wanted to be the only owner of all the Secrets and that everyone would be his children. Born was the Guardian Angel Determining people through Ifa, because Obatala is the Osha that has the most children on Earth. For this Ifa you put four cascabeles for Osun. The owner of this Ifa cannot leave dirty dishes or casseroles in his house overnight, so that Arun does not eat them and therefore sickness does not go in your house. This is extensive to all the Omo Obatala, aside from the Oddun that he has. Place bananas for Shango. Take care of your daughter so that she will not be inverted by morning. Use a mosquito net to sleep, because mosquito bites may infect you and bring you bad health consequences. Do not throw yourself fresh air with a fan made of guano. You use the guano by burning a piece and inhaling the smoke when you have a headache. You suffer from Sexual Slackness. Slackness in the Bones (you may become crippled), of cramps in the left leg, of blood circulations. Nothing of the Evil that the persons enemies do to him will have any results, because Osa Roso accompanies Olofin. Osa Roso cannot break mirrors. You have to pay your debts to Shango so that he does not close the paths for you. After making ebo, play the lottery. This Ifa sends you to cover all the holes that are in the house. Osa Roso is a traveler. You wish to go somewhere far, you will do well there. Osa Roso has to have pigeons in his house and let hem dirty the entire house, that is his luck. Osa Roso lives equally in wide areas as in narrow areas, since he is used to working hard. If he lives in a narrow area this Ifa says that your house will get larger. IFA SAYS: Where you live there is a person, possibly a woman, who has Prenda from Mayombre. Take care of the door to your house, there is something buried there, probably an isheri (nail) or your enemies could bury it. You are living ina a confined space, you have to enlarge your house. Orunmila says that you can live equally in a wide space as in a narrow space, what you have to do is adapt yourself to be happy.

327

You have a pregnant woman that likes to drink. If she continues to ingest alcoholic beverages whe will go crazy and, so that does not happen, she should make ebo with: Akuko, adie meyi, bogbo oti, asho fun fun and pupua. Someone will go to your house to insult you, possibly a woman. Do not pay attention to her or answer her so that you do not lose. If you want to go to the country or travel, before leaving make ebo with: Akuko meyi, adie meyi, a broom, the knife you use, eku, eya.. Do not raise your hand to anyone and do not assault anyone with a stick. There is a woman who wishes to be with you and will be the cause of a great tragedy. Be careful that you may be killed. In your house there is a woman who is sick to her bones. Be careful not to die because of disobeying a Saint. OSA ROSO, PATH OF MATRIMONIAL UNHAPINESS. Here the husband is a bit of a tyrant with the woman, he mistreats her verbally and may even kill her with Spells. The woman becomes ill from suffering. PATH OF THE LAND OF EJIGBOMEKO. Here you feed Orunmila, Oshun, Yemaya, Shango and Elewa. Then you put fruits for orunmila and for oshun you throw fresh air with a guano fan. This is where the adodi (effeminate) took care of Obatala when he was sick and to reward them he blessed them. They let Orunmilas etu (guineas) loose and they began to scratch at his door and made an opening. He went to see and saw that his arayes had buried a nail to persecute him. Orunmila offered an abo to Shango and after some time went by he did not give it to him. After seeing this Shango picked Alamo and closed the path that leads to Orunmilas house. When Orunmila noticed that the days were passing and no one went to his house, he began to wonder why and his wife said: Finish giving Shango the abo that you promised him. That is how Orunmila did it and the paths opened up again. Note: You have to listen to your womans advice. You have to fulfill the promises you offer Shango. This is where Shango fell in love with the butchers eggs. Once Orunmila was having too much difficulty and did not have anything to eat. He made himself a Sodde and saw this Ifa (Osa Roso) and made ebo with: Abo, ounko, akuko, ei adie, a knife, atitan ile. And brought it to the swamp.

328

Shortly after throwing out the ebo, he picked up candela from the swamp and later a man showed up at his house asking him for shelter and to heal him. Orunmila did that. The man then asked for forgiveness saying to him: I am ozain, the one who has don so much harm to you. Orunmila forgave him and ozain turned into his best friend. You have to forgive your enemies who sincerely sorry and in the future they will be your best friends. You have to help the needy selfishly, without asking them who they are and what they have to live. When Shango gave fire to the house where orunmila was living, because those people owed him an abo, Orunmila, who was disabled, from the fright he sat up and jumped out of the window. The Saints were also living there, among them oshun, and they all saved themselves forgetting about Orunmila, who was disabled. When oshun was out of the house he remembered orunmila and risked his life to come back in the house to try and save him, but when he did not find him he jumped throught the window and then he ran into orunmila. When Orunmila saw her he said: My daughter, you being the sinner were the only one who risked her life to save me and from now on you eat next to me. And since then Orunmila and Oshun eat adie dun dun together. Put Orunmilas soup pot on the floor and next to it place that of Oshun and they both eat from the two adie dun dun. Sing to Orunmila and sing to Oshun. This path says: When the person is in danger or with misfortune, there is always someone who will remember him. THIS IS WHERE OLOFIN GAVE THE BUSINESS ASHE TO SHANGO. Shango maintained a bloody war with Ogun and olofin sent for Shango to give him the Business Ashe. When Ogun found out he stationed himself where Shango was to cross. Shango, who was mounted on his dashing steed, when he saw Ogun stationed on the path changed direction with a strong pull on the reigns but little by little the horse would bolt and he fell over. At that moment Oya arrived and aware that Shango was going to see Olofin and that Ogun was closing the road, she cut her braids and dressed him with her clothes. That is how Shango passed in front of Ogun, since he thought the he was Oya and received the Business Ashe from olofin. Says: A woman will help you conquer all difficulties, because she will not spare any sacrifice to help you. On this path if the Awo or the Iworo (Santero) does not have Oya, he has to Receive her in a hurry.

329

For this ifa you put amala ila for Shango (corn flour with quimbombo) and a bunch of bananas. This is to prosper. FOR THE AWOS HEALTH. Place a pretty doll for Oya with her braids.

Olofin adawauye bokun bogbo omode Dandajuero adifafun orunmila inshe-Ozain. Maferefun Orunmila.

332

Ebo: awunko, a guiro with a long neck, 16 ewe Ifa, obi kola, 16 ekru, 16 atare, 16 jio jiom aari okun, aari odo ibu, asho pupua, dun dun and fun fun, asho arolodo, asho aperi, asho oboso (green), ou fun fun and dun dun, bogbo tenunyen, opolopo owo. When Olofin created the Earth, he covered it completely with water and told all of his children to do whatever possible to make that water disappear (by concentrating it in only one place) so they could live Aiye (The Earth). All the Orishas began to prepare channels to concentrate the waters in the lower lands. These channels are the rivers of today. Dandajuero (The Maja), who was orunmilas friend, went to see him and said to him: My abure (my brother), there is a terrible spell that Olofin has entrusted us with to be able to live on Earth, but I cannot do my part without any hands or feet. Orunmila made him a Sodde and saw this Ifa for him and he made him ebo (the one above) and prepared an Inshe-Ozain for him, which he fed owunko and 16 jio jio and put the leri from all those animals inside the guiro, he then hung it for Dandajuero on his seal and sent him to go around the Earth floating on the guiro, plus he could not see behind him. Dandajuero left with the second rooster song and when he finished his trip flying around the planet and began to descend, I hear a very strange sound that said: Blu, blu, blu and one would ask What is that about the he follows me with his sound?, -Could it be this guiro? Plus he did not turn his head and continued to travel all over the Earth. He came down when the Inshe-Ozain had created the Earth firmly. The other Orishas who had created the rivers, after 16 days exactly they went before Olofin to give thanks for his efforts. Then everyone who told Olofin that they had created the river. When Olofin asked Dandajuero, he ansewered as follows: Father, I created the Ocean, which surrounds the entire world, only with the help of Ifa. Olofin gave women, gold, jewels and riches to the Orishas and to Dandajuero, who had created the Universal Ocean and the lands to be able to live alone, he gave a red-haired woman who was deformed and with copper skin. All the other Orishas began to make fun of Dandajuero, but they did not know that she was the daughter of Olofin., Dandajuero annoyed returned to Orunmilas house and told him about the woman that Olofin had given him and he said: If you see her, you will vomit. Orunmila said to him: Olofin has given you his daughter as a reward, do not reject her. He made the same ebbo but this time adding the Inshe Ozain otubon (powder) and inle ilakan (earth from the cave of the crab). This so that she could come into his house. One day Dandajuero asked his wife: What do you see for me? She answered with a question: What did Orunmila tell you about me? Why are you asking me this? Dandajuero changing the subject of the conversation had taken, said: it is just that Orunmila marked this Inshe-Ozain for me and I have been left without any money.

333

She answered: That is nothing, you will have good fortune. What are you saying?, asked Dandajuero. She answered: Turn around for a moment. He turned around and the woman began to whistle very loudly and in an instant great winds began to blow on the earth from the North, South, East and West and millions of living beings, humans, animals and plants appearing all over the world and Dandajueros wife turned into a beautiful woman. So Dandajuero understood the great reward that Olofin had given him and, he also became gorgeous and him and his wife, who was Aidajuero turned into a Rainbow seeing themselves since then high in the Sky and the other Orishas became envious of him and wanted to get rid of him in many ways. Oshosi tried to kill him but Dandajuero blinded him with his light and the Orishas said to him: Dandajuero is like Olofin himself. And Dandajuero continued his path through the Heavens. Note: A woman will supply you all the luck you will enjoy in your life, because she is the daughter of Olofin. Here the Universal Ocean and the rivers were created. Cosmonautics was born, since Dandajuero was the first one to fly around the entire world. PATH OF THE COAL MERCHANT. There was a married couple who were coal merchants and who were very poor, one day the man went to be seen by Orunmila and he got this Ifa. Ifa said to him: You will find an abandoned girl, pick her up and raise her as your own daughter, and as she grow you will prosper, that girl will give you a secret name and no one may call her by that name in front of anyone, so that you will not lose your good luck. Orunmila made ebo for you with: Akuko, charcoal, a doll, abiti, asho timbelara atitan ile Shortly after the coal merchant passed by a place where he had made one of his coal furnace and there he encountered an abandoned girl. He remembered the precition of Ifa and picked her up and took her to his house. Once the girl was in the house she gave him a secret name and warned him that they could not call her by that name in front of anyone. As the girl grew the marriage prospered and in a short time they had everything they could wish for in life. One day an old woman came to the house asking for shelter and they gave it to her. The old woman began to envy them because of how well they lived, but she understood that the girl distrusted her intentions which lead her to try and win the trust of the girl. One day the couple called the girl in front of the old woman by her nickname or secret name and during the night the girl left the house with the old woman they had in the house. From that moment the couple began to lose their good luck and everything would come out bad until one day, being already late, the coal merchant returned to Orunmilas house. He made him a Sodde and saw this Ifa, who said: For being disobedient you have lost your wellbeing, because you called the person that gave you luck by her nickname, in

334

front of strangers and she left with him/her/them. You have to make ebo with: Akuko, coal, earth from your footprint, your measurements, asho area so that you recover som luck, since you have lost the ashe given to you by Olofin and it will never be the same as before. Note: This Ifa determines that the person cannot give the general information of any of his Spiritual Protections to anyone to rob them and you will lose that protection and with it your luck. It may be that that entity may have found you in the road of your life, because it was in tune with you. This also determines that you have intimate secrets which you may not divulge to anyone, because if you do it you will persecute yourself. THE SECRET OF THE COCONUT, BASKET AND PALM TREE. There was a time in which Elewa and Eshu Dika found themselves looking for the objects for the ebo that had been marked by Orunmila, which were: Leri of ekute, leri of eya tutu a basket and the obi, but they would have difficulties finding the appropriate one to make the basket. When they were tired of walking they arrived in front of the shrub of Oti Agbo (The Leru Coconut) and asked for his leaves to make a basket. Obi Agbo refused to give them away. Eshu cursed them saying: So that your children are not at your side forever because you are so arrogant. Obi Agbo immediately dropped two obi and Eshu Dile and put them in his apo to dedicate it to Obatala. Elewa and Eshu Dike continued on their way and ran into Obi Agbon Oludo (Obi from Brazil), they asked for his leaves to make the basket. He told them: You can take them with pleasure, but they are not made for what you want them for, because they are too weak and do not have resistance. Eshu Dike picked some and put them on his leri to protect himself from the intense Sun and said: Although your leaves are too weak you will always be odara. Shortly after they met up with Ope (the palma real) and they asked for his leaves to make the basket and she gave it to them unselfishly and Elewa and Eshu Dile were able to build the basket for the Ebo. Then they blessed the Palma Real for having helped them, so they could make the ebo to save themselves from their enemies. Note: When you are asked something do not refuse in a bad manner. If you have what you are being asked but do not wish to give it away, do not act arrogant and high-handed and give any excuse, because there are those that believe that when you have what they need you have to serve them and when they feel deceived they may curse you. When you make favors you should do them selflessly, without expecting anything in return.

335

When you are asked something and it is not in good state, you must be honest and before handing it over you must indicate the defects it has so they do not think poorly of you. According to some old Babalawos this path has another interpretation. The coconut shrub represents the virile part of the man when he is worried about a sexual problem, because normally the coconut shrub does not grow completely erect, straight and when the coconuts fall it is because they are sick, for them the coconuts represent the testicles. This is when this Ifa Marks: Intori Arun. The Man suffers from some sickness in his testicles which impedes a virile erection. The basket represents the womans vagina. Through Intori Arun, you suffer from the same, fibroids, venereal diseases or congenital malformation of the womb. Because of Ire you have no problems and are in good health. The shrub of the palm tree, is applied through Ire, the man will be sexually (strong). PATH OF THE TWO WOMEN. There were two women who care for each other very much, one day the youngest became pregnant and asked her older friend to be the godmother of her future son, and she did. One day the girl fell ill and the mother took ther to Orunmilas houe, in the Sodde this Ifa Osobo appeared and Orunmila told the mother of the daughter: You have to be thankful of what people do for you and for your daughter, now you have to put the Necklace of Obatala on him and when seven years go by you have to take it to a godmother (godfather) of a Saint so that they Conecrate in Osha so he does not die. The mother of the girl to her friends (comadre) house and told her what Orunmila had said to him about his daughter and the need you had for a necklace of Obatala. The godmother borrowed someone for her goddaughters baptism until the mother could find a godmother of a Saint for the girl. For those days the godmother had planted at her house a coconut shrub and the animals would not let it grow, which is why she asked to borrow a basket from her goddaughters mother, to protect the shrub. Because of certain things in life the women fought and one claimed her necklace and the other her basket, went before the courts and they both had losses. Ebo: Akuko, basket, necklace, obi meyi, asho pupua and funfun. ESHU DEKE. An high ota, ask if it is from the hillock, or else what position it is: Four paths, from the river, from the mountain, from the plaza, etc.

Drill the ota from the top to add the load, cover it with the crown of Elewa that you cement. On the mud fryer you add your load turned into powder, plus an inkin from Orunmila and cement it. You add the other one there so it stays planted in the freiderita. Over the fryer and around the ota you cement 21 caracoles from diloguns. You add mouth and eyes from caracoles. He always eats akuko and ask if during his birth you have to give him ayapa or three jio jio. This Elewa lives by placing it in a basket made of leaves from a palma real (mariwo). Plus you make a leopard skin front from it with 21 caracoles. You need 21 caracoles for the front, 21 to adorn the fryer and three for the mouth and eyes, for a total of 45 caracoles. When the person that has made Elewa, Eshu Deke is the name of his Elewa, for the person you prepare a jaba made of a sack of jute lined in red fabric and adorne it with 21 caracoles so he may use it. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------Ebo: Akuko, obi meta, hooks meta, pita, aari and oti omi ile Olokun, abiti, ada, eku, eya, epo.. Note: When you prepare the Guiro from the Path of the Rainbow with yellow, green, red, blue and white beads, you line it or adorn it. -----------------------------------------------------------------------When the Awo finishes making ebo or doing it for someone else, when he picks up the iyefa he leaves a little on the tablero and writes this sign, stands in front of the door of his house with the tablero supported on his left arm and says: Osa Loni, Osa Juani, Osa Meta and hitting the tablero with the irofa that he will have in his right hand, he blows this iyefa onto the street. Prepare Kofisari, to get rid of the evil in your house. Prepare a paste with cooking oil, epo, eya tutu powder, efun, an atare and crushed ewe tete. Scrape two dry coconuts well and smear the paste on them, roll them all around the house and at midnight you push them with the broom to roll all over the street.

You say that you want to make money, Olofin will give that to you to see what you can make with it. In your house there is a person who has been sick for a long time, he will get better in a very short while, but another relative will get sick and if you do not take care of him he will die.

Through this Ifa, when the Awo makes Ebo for himself, he adds fresco with Orunmilas eruke. (The tail). Pick up a razor and hook it onto the end of a stick with the sharp end pointing up, put it on the door hinge and every few minutes you feed it an akuko along with Elewa. Egun Merin Laye: Prepare an omiero with 16 ewe from Orunmila (ask which ones they are) and wash your face and arms asking that all the Eguns of Lights of Ar Ono help you resolve your problems. Ebo: Do not kill Akuko quiquiriqui, then throw the ebo in the iyefa in the mouth and let it go), two jio jio, 3 osiadie, 3 eyele agada, ewefa, ewe tetenifa, ewe ayo, ewe dun dun, araba, ewe ou, ewe mokogun, ewe shewerekuekue, igi, 3 leri ekute, bogbo asho, 3 akof, malaguidi, bogbo ere, eku, eya, epo, ewe awe (guira leaves). Note: Malaguidi and agad umbebolo. Before the ebo you take three baths with the ewe. Then you make omiero with ewe sarsaparilla and you give it in the leri eyebale of isiadie. Then with a new obe you cut the creeper plant and lastly you bathe with sarsaparilla omiero. When this ceremony is finished, pick up the entire bath and at the same time as the ebo it goes to the mountain or the river. After the ebo, bath with omiero of ewe dun dun, itamorreal, llanten and ou. Finally, you Obori with Obi Omi Tutu, ori and efun.

Yo make it in the mountain.

340

Make Oparaldo for the interested person with an osiadie or the anima he chooses. Make an opening in the earth of about two quarters with its corresponding rea and you stand the interested person inside of that. When you finish the Oparaldo, the interested person removes all of his clothing he is wearing and dresses with another, and leaves it in the corner where you throw the anima, eku, eya, epo, ori, efun, itana, alaigi, perfume, oi, oti, awado, the ewe with which you make the Spell. You first wrap the animal in the cloths and bury it. After the Oparaldo you Obori with eyele meyi fun fun and ask the path they choose. This path determines the reason why when you make Crowned Agayu (Direct), the Osun of the Leri is in the shape of a Rainbow from the forehead to the nape. Aside from the clothes of Iyawo Al Agayu, since he always has to use a robe and why you always have to use coconut juice in Agayus Sink. Also, the reason why you have to make Oro for Agayu. The robe is white with a blue sash. Here in Cuba there is a great controversy with Agayu, because they do not want to do it directly and each one has their theory. Valentin Nicol Angarica made a direct Agayu and was accused of desecration of Religion, but nothing happened to him or to the Godson. There are some Saintshouses that are made through Shango and there are others that are made through Oshun. This path determines that it can be made directly, what appears is that you have to know how to make it. This is where Oya found Yemaya eating with her husband Shango, and with her ada she took off the head of the abo that she was carrying and from that day on she stopped eating abo, and was very hungry because all the animals were already destined to each Saint. One day she was at Obatals house and he was offered a dark eure. He saw it and said: I do not want it, it is very ugly, I do not eat that. Oya, upon hearing Obatalas words said to him: Father, give it to me and I will eat it. And since then Oya eats dark goats.

If it is a Woman and this Ifa comes out in an Entry, she is told that she has to oye Receive Olokun, that she cannot have abortions because she can die and in the best case lose her health forever. She must Yoko Osha, and Receive Ikofa, because only Orunmila may save her from her problems. Both for men and women only Orunmila can save them. Be careful of traps. Give thanks to Dreams, to Obatala and Orunmila. You will go outside and be in many passages. Your enemies wish for you to be embarrrassed. Their thoughts are bad. Have patience so you will not get lost. Three enemies wish to destroy your home. You are a hot head.

You have many setbacks in your journey. There is something buried that gets in your way. You must remove it so that luck will come back to you. Careful with frights on the street. If you see someone with something that interests you, never think or say: I should have that too. If you have had arguments with another person you must make peace, find them because this will bring you three lucky chances. The only defense you have to save yourself is to Receive Ifa. ----------------------------------------------------------------Oya was going to give food to the saints and sent for Ogun so he would kill for him, but that day Ogun was drunk and arrived late. Because Ogun was late, Oya became desperate and called Shango to make the kill. Shango made the killing, but the saints were not satisfied because no one ate the food, and they began to complain. Olofin heard the complaints and ordered to repeat the Spell when Ogun arrived. You must have patience. You have many setbacks in your journey. ----------------------------------------------------------------One must swear in Orun. Receive Oduduwa and Ozain.

(The sacrifice of mothers). The name Yanza or Iyanzan was born. Libraries were created. This is where Awo store Secret papers and do not study them. When this Ifa goes out in Awofaka, the person does not need to do Ifa. Here Olofin cursed all the religions that were not Ifa. That is why everyone who practices those religions must one day go before Ifa.

345

For this Ifa the Awo never goes out alone because they want to rob him. To defeat his enemies he throws swamp mud or quick sand mud in the ebo. For this Oddun there is a Spirit who was a doctor. Shilikun de ile must be given ayapa. Here the person has important clothing from ancestors and inheritances of clothing or of Orishas. There is an Egun who will destroy the entire family if he is not dealt with appropriately. With Ire Ashegun Ota: The akuko of the ebo directly to Ogun. Because of this Odun one cannot Obori anyone if the eya tutu has a small tongue, he must have a large tongue. FOR OBINI: Be careful with whom you go out, because they may leave you unconscious and abuse you and make you pregnant. She is crying for having a husband. If she is expecting, you must make ebo so that she does not lose the child. If she has a younger child be careful that the child does not fall ill, give the child an Awofaka, since only Orumila can save him. You are here for a child-related or legal matter. Do not be disobedient, so as to not find yourself in danger and to save yourself you become the slave of a greedy person. Be careful with a person who believes in boba and can scare you. There is a person who says that she regrets having done what she did. This person must move into another house. Careful not to return ill from the countryside. You are defending what someone did and you will make it turn out bad. Do not look down on anyone who goes to your home. Do not be guarantor for anyone. This is where the Ceremony of taking Ogun from the Mountain was born when one goes to crown a child of Ogun. Also born were the Large Secrets of the Atapas and of the Eya Tutu. This is where they enslaved Ogun and made him Uphold the World.

Be careful of an intelectual who wants to enslave you, to live from your knowledge and efforts. SPELL TO RESOLVE A PROBLEM USING OYA.

Ornumila did an ebo on it with: Akuko, eyele, meyi, ilu, abiti, oka, eku, eya.. After throwing out its ebo the Frog ran into the Maja and the Maja swallowed him, but since the Frog had done ebo he damaged the insides of the Maya who threw him up and died and the Frog was saved.

This is where the Nature of Death was born. One cannot feel sorry for persons who are in a state of death, because you or a godchild or a family member will die. When the child of this Ifa dies you must place a silver coin inside his mouth, so he may go to Ara-Onu., Here speaks Inkan Araye Saluga Kowa Ile: The enemy is inside your home disguised as a friend.

There was a woman who sold at the plaza and her name was Malano. She would get into everything that did not concern her. One day Orunmila told her to perform ebo so she would not lose her life. She did not listen and continued with her way of life, until one day Death followed her and killed her for being stubborn.

Awo Osa Ka was a womanizer, one day he fell in love with the daughter of his Oluwo, who was mondia (maiden). This was much hidden, but the young girl became pregnant and he did not know what to do to avoid the embarrassment of his Godfather, since he had given custody of his daughter to him while he traveled.

350

During that time Aleyo arugbo (old client) arrived and was looking for an Obini to marry, this Ifa came out and told him: You are here because you want someone to perform a spell so that you may find a wife to marry. Since that is what the Aleyo Arugbo was looking for, he performed the Spells that the Awo ordered. The Awo then found a way for him to meet the young girl without a chaperone. The Aleyo Arugbo fell in love with the girl and the Awo then prepare an obo for the young girl with washings of red mangroves three days in a row to narrow it as if it were that of a maiden. The Aleyo Arugbo married the young girl paying the broken plates of Osa Ka. Obatala had a Secret, which was the birth of Shango and told in confidence to his daughter Dada-Baani so she would raise him. Obatala went every day to the house of his daughter Dada-Baani to see her son Shango and, the child grew very spoiled, naughty and proud. Obatala treated ogun very badly and upset he tried to find out the reason for the bringing up that was being given to Shagon and, he insisted so much that one day Yemaya told him the secret. One day Ogun told Shango that he knew a secret about his life and, that if he told something large would develop. Shango begged for Ogun to tell him, since he had never had a secret in his entire life. Ogun told him and Shango left embarrassed to see Yemaya and asked her. She denied everything, but Shango insisted so much that she told him the entire truth. Shango took reprisals with his father Obatala and abandoned him little by little. There is a Large Secret in his Life and it could be that he raised him not knowing he was the father. Aritinlo was a good man, but his family was a friend of revolutions, which made him very uneasy and passing a lot of work for not having a fixed place to live. Aritinlo went to Orunmilas house, which made him a Sodde and saw this Ifa and told him: You must perform ebo and move from where you live, because with the problems confronted there you are setback and a large war is coming to that house. Aritinlo performed ebo and moved. Then he began to prosper and in a short while the revolution that was in his family turned into a war that caused them to kill each other, exterminating the entire family. And Aritinlo was the only one from that family who saved himself for listening to Ifa. A person that is obedient shall save themselves, a person that is not shall lose.

You wish to move from your home; you think that since you live in that house many things are not going well. What is happening is that you change your mind very often and do not listen to advice. You must collect some money. You are hurting another person. You have a child that you do not know. Place a bunch of bananas at Shango. Do not trust anyone so as not to fail. You are very wasteful. Take more care of your personal matters because they are not very safe, although at present they seem very fruitful. You have to Yoko Osha.

Be careful that when all of your matters are in order you dont die. Do not let your guard down. You must give Ogun an ounkio behind the street door. Elewa wanted to get married and went to see Orunmila so he would tell him what to do because he loved a woman very much. Orunmila saw this Ifa and performed an ebo (he marked ebo) with: Ounko, akuko, adie, a clay pitcher.Elewa left and did not return to have the ebo performed on him. Days later Elewa had intercourse with that woman and contracted blennorrhagia and his penis swelled so much that it didnt fit in his pants and Elewa had to go everywhere with his penis out saying: I have my penis out for not listening to Orunmila. This is why Elewa shows his parts when Descending. Here it speaks of Blennorrhagia. The Babas Eure was good and obedient, but one day she went outside and met with the other animals and ruined himself and in a short while Obatala could no longer handle her. The Eure feeling in trouble went to the house of Orunmila and received an Ifa that told her: You have to change your way of life so you stay out of danger and you have to orugbo and koibori. She shook her head yes, but did not take care and did not perform the ebo and continued living the same way and worse than before and one day Obatala sent to kill her. Iyalona was a widow who had many children and they lived in suffering because they were very poor and she wished they could live well and to achieve this she spent her life praying to the Eguns and to the Orishas.

357

One day her husbands Egun told her: I will help you to get your wishes, I will protect one of my children and give him good luck, but he must share that good luck with his siblings since if he does not I will take it away again; to begin helping you give me two akuko fun fun along with Shango. Iyalona got scared, but because of the such large wish she had of seeing her children live well, she went out and began to visit her children so they would help her gather the things to feed her husbands Egun. They would answer her: Mother you think that our fathers spirit will be able to help us? Only one of her children answered: Mother, tell me what you need since I see you so worried? She answered: Son, I need two akuko fun fun to give them to your fathers Spirit. Her son answered: Wait here and I will go get them. A little while later the son gave his mother the akuko fun fun. The mother and the son who was called Omomole and who was the eldest went out in search of Shango. They shortly found him and told him what the Egun had told Iyalona. Shango told them: We will call this Egun so that he will give Omole the good luck that he offered. Shango made a cross on the ground and between him and Egun they ate the two akuko fun fun. Then they thanked Omole and then warned him: You will always have to help your siblings, never abandon them or your mother Iyalona, because the day that you do not fulfill this Pact we will take away the gift that we have just given you. It speaks of Shared Luck, that whoever receives it must help and never abandon his siblings so as to never lose it. He will always have to help his mother as well. Here you give akuko fun fun meyi to Egun Babare along with Shango to Receive a Luck from these Entities. The Birds that only lived for one year, since they slept at the top of the poles and the ants would crawl up and bite them and kill them. The Mother while begging for money and working hard collected the money to buy the freedom of his son. She went to speak with her sons master on many occasions, when he finally agreed to sell him to her, but he told her: But I will not give him his freedom until he finishes gathering the harvest, because he is one of the strongest and youngest ones. During that time interval the Slave fell seriously ill and died, without being able to enjoy the much awaited freedom. Speaks of a Mothers Sacrifice for her child. Be careful that as soon as you think your problems are solved, it is too late and you die. --------------------------------------------------Here Obatala changed Gold for silver.

Perform iye of ewe guenguere, ou, iyefa to cover the body when you are sick. TO SOLVE PROBLEMS: Ebo: Akuko, 1 wall lizard, 1 stick the same size as the wall lizard, 1 chair, opolopo owo.

It eats old cockerel with Egun and then an osiadie and you sing: Baba Paralode Eshishi Iku Olona Baba Awo Ire Eshishi Iku Olona. This is where the Frogs did not have anywhere to live and since they were making so much noise, Obatala brought them into his house and they continued to make noise. He continued to warn them to stop and since they did not pay attention he threw them out of his house. This person has nowhere to live. If this person lives somewhere they do not withstand him/her for their way of being and they threw or will throw him/her out from there. Behind the laughter come the tears. Obatala cursed the Frogs and told them: As long as the Earth is the Earth you will continue to sing. A cursing Ifa for the elders. Here Shango by order of Olofin divided the Earth in two parts throwing his enormous Odu-Ara. (Birth of the Continents). And since then Humanity has lived Divided. Once Olofin saw that dividing the Earth did not give him what he wanted, he Cursed it by Saying: Obatala, Oduduwa, Oluo-Popo, Elewa, Ogun, Oshosi, Agayu, Shango, Oya, etc. Here Aiye (The Earth) did not accept the help of all the Orishas that Olofin sent to help her, when they arrived, she refused their help and they almost all returned to the Heavens, the only ones that remained were the children of Ela: Obatala, Oduduwa, Oluo-Popo, Elewa, Ogun, Oshoshi, Agayu, Shango, Oya, etc. Shows a Lack of Unity in the Family When Obatala lost the Rat, Frog, Parrot, Chameleon, etc., in his house to which Orunmila showed ebo so she could find them with: Akuko, ishu, omi boha (hot water), atitan ile, juju aikordie and opolopo owo. Since they all appeared in his house he blamed Orunmila

361

of being a thief and a liar since his little animals had all appeared in his own home and were not lost, and he blamed her in front of Olofin. When Olofin became aware of the problem, he told Obatala: It is true that all your little animals appeared in your house but after Orunmila did the ebo?, so what are you complaining about?. Orunmila has neither deceived you or stolen your money. Since Orunmila was upset he told Olofin: Baba, from now on the result of the ebo will be seen in the Earth until three days from having performed the ebo and this will be done to the detriment of my children. Osa Rete will never be satisfied with anything they do for him. Orunmila, when he ran into people he knew, had the habit of asking people how they were health-wise and if they had any sick person to heal. One time someone replied: Do not ask about sick people anymore because we are all well. And Orunmila was embarrassed. A few days later in that same family they sent for him to help a sick person. He refused to go because of the embarrassment she had a few days before. The only thing that family had left to do was to bring the sick person to Orunmilas house so he would help him. This is why Awo does not help anyone outside of his house. Anyone who needs Awo have to go to his house to be seen. ESHU ALIMU: This is a very powerful Elewa Arara that works with Adae (Owa).

Here a woman starves her husband to death, even though she plays the innocent. Shelei dedicated himself to planting ishu and since he was alright with the Saints, the larger and most beautiful ones he would keep for herself, since he had abundant and good harvests, giving him a very good clientele. One day the many enemies that Shelei had, dominated by jealousy began giving him all kinds of curses. The curses they gave him were so many, that when he went to harvest the names, they would come out cut, which would make them lose quality and Shelei began losing his prosperity. Shelei then decided to pour water at the foot of the shrubs at the moment he would harvest the names, to soften the earth. He managed to take them out whole by using a peg, but they were bad on the inside. Shelei then desperate went to see Orunmila, and he got this Ifa who told him: You have many arayes who send you all kinds of curses every day, you have to look for another seed and other land far from where you live so you may prosper, since all your seeds are contaminated with the disease. This Path speaks of Termites in the Blood or in the Bones or in some Internal Visceral. The Person appears to be in good health and strong, but is damaged and his/her luck is impending. Orunmila surprised one of his children by doing improper things with his mouth in the obo of the obini and, although surprised he tried to clean his mouth but it was stained with blood because Obini was still with Ashupua. Here Mamu Obo was born. The Owner of this Ifa falls into this Vice. The Ekuekueye (The Duck) went to be seen by Orunmila because he felt bad all over. Orunmila saw this Ifa and made ebo. The Duck told Orunmila he would return with the things of the ebo and went to look for them. The Duck arrived at the edge of the river and saw a young female duck and wondered if he should return to Orunmilas house or try to court the female duck, which soon after gave him a blast. After finishing ofikaletrupon, he had his intestine dragging on the ground not being able to mount the female duck again. The duck who was very alarmed showed himself in that state before Orunmila to do the ebo. Orunmila upon seeing how he was told him: Alright, you will solve your other problems, but this one cannot be solved and each time you mount the female duck your pizajo will drag on the ground. Shows Impotence. A mans penis goes soft during sexual acts.

This path shows why the Beginning of Life during summer lies in the earths crust and in Winter lies in the bowels of the earth. Signals the Great Sacrifice of Motherhood in Women, where she always gives her blessing to her child even after death. Shows Conflict of Nonconformity of Mothers with the Marriage of their children, where inside their hearts they are always against the marriage of their children, thinking that no one can love them or understand them like them and because they always see in other people more virtues and competencies that those possessed by their son-in-laws and daughter-in-laws. It also shows that mothers, even when they hate their son-in-laws and daughter-in-laws they adapt to their presence so as to not ruin the happiness of their children. This is where Oya, after living with Shango, became jealous and wanting her all to herself, made a Pact with Izu where she promised to feed him (Iku), but he had to sleep at the door of their house so that Shango would not be able to leave the house. When Oshun became aware of Shangos prison, she went to Orunmilas house who saw this Ifa that said: Hypocrisy and Deception. Despite that Oshun insisted in saving Shango. Orunmila made him an ebo with: Akuko, opolopo oti, oi, opolopo efun, 9 akara bibi, 9 balls of yellow name. After the ebo Oshun brought it to Oyas door and with his salameria was able to corrupt Ikus moral, since he accepted to eat and drink and he became drunk. Oshun bribed Shango from efun and took him out of there. Far from there, Shango told Oshun: I promised to give you anything you wanted if you took me out of there, so tell me what you want. Oshun said: I only wish for your love. Shango replied: That I cannot grant you, since I only wish to be in the arms of Oya. Osa She: Hypocrisy, betrayal, person who does not fulfill a promise.

Olofin ordered the Young Men to do Estera, but they still wanted to govern themselves and they did not respect the Elders. Olofin asked them: Who taught all of you? They answered: The Elders. Olofin told them: Then You are not bad. And I am sending you to kill for being disopbedient. Note: Here the Young Men do not want to respect the Elders. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Obatala had an enemy and went to Orunmilas house so as to remove him from the middle. Orunmila marked ebo with: Akuko, two adie, two eyele.Obatala did it and a few days later his enemy became seriously ill. Obatala took pity on his enemy and returned to Orunmilas home, so he would save him, Orunmila performed another ebo on Obatala and the sick person became well again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------The Butterfly always lived in the country and one day went to Orunmilas house and this Ifa came out and said: You are thinking of going some place and if you do not perform ebo before going you will not be well received. Since the Butterfly was skeptical, she did not listen and did not perform the ebo. When Summer arrived she went to the city and the young men as soon as they saw her armed themselves with large pieces of shrubs and began to kill them. And since then Young Men kill Butterflies. A person is skeptical and normally does not do anything that Ifa requests. ------------------------------------------------------------------------The Dog ran into the Turtle and trying to humiliate her he insists to see which one of them would arrive faster from one place to another. The Turtle went to be seen by Orunmila and this Ifa came out and he performed ebo with: Bones, abiti, a ball of thread and brought him to where the Dog had to pass by at the time of the test. During the test, the Dog found the bone from the ebo and began to gnaw at it, thinking that when the Turtle passed by his side he would easily jump and pass her and win the test. Since the Dog was entertained trying to eat the bone he did not notice that the ball of thread was getting tangled up in his back legs. When the Turtle passed by his side, he tried to jump but he could not, because his legs were tangled up.

367

And therefore with the help of Orunmila, the Turtle won the bet from his enemy the Dog. Perform ebo and look after Orunmila so that your enemies cannot defeat you. There was a very powerful King whose subjects loved him very much and everyone would fight to expand the kingdom, but the King had a great spiritual emptiness in his life and was always complaining and sad. One day this King went to see Orunmila, who gave saw this Ifa for him and performed ebo with: Akuko, his used clothes, an axe, grilled animal meat, oti., so he would find who would take away his bad things. The King performed ebo and as he brought it he sang to Ogun Alawede, who appeared, sand and ate from the ebo and fell in love with the Kings shirt. They exchanged clothes and the King put on the purple shirt. And from that day forward the King enjoyed life more. The Persona has a great spiritual emptiness in his/her life and lives to stay alive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Here Ifa is given eight eyele and one jio jio to eat in a hueco. First clean the person in question the jio jio and then give to Iku in the hueco.

The Awo Owner of this Ifa, has to perform Ifa on all his children so as not to lose them. And so was created the Use of the Omi Tutu in the Worship of Orunmila and of the Oshas and Orishas.

They are always late, jealous, they nag and are violent, and they have power for things but what they make with their heads they destroy with their feet. They always wish to be at the top, give orders and for people to do what they say, and they are not always right, but they try to impose their wish no matter what.

Here Elegbara was crippled due to distress with his feet. You must Activate Osain. The Bat did not have any wings and people would step on it and mistreat it, saying: Look, a rat. The Bat went to Orunmilas house and this Ifa came out who told him to perform ebo with: Akuko, eyele meyi, ashola fun fun meyi gbogbo ashe The Bat did the ebo and he grew wings and thought that he had already solved his problem and did not return to Orunmilas house. And the Bat continued to fly with bad

direction and could not distinguish things very well, that is why he sleeps during the day and hangs from his feet and, whatever is placed in his mouth he eats, drinks or smokes it. Ogun lived with Oshun, but did not trust her, but he could not find truth to his suspicions. Oshun had a Quail that would tell him when Ogun was on the road on the way to the house. One day Ogun went to be Seen by Orunmila and this Ifa appeared and he performed ebo with an aya eke (small dog). When Ogun was returning to his house he had the dog with him and the Quail saw him from far away, then it saw the dog and thought: Is it an Ogun or a dog that is on the road? And that is how it entertained itself and Ogun arrived to Oshuns house and surprised her, and she ran away through the window accompanied by a man. Oshun let go of the Quail and it went to live on the Mountain. Everything that has been done for you with hands, you have ruined with your feet. Do not give favors that will not be appreciated. You are messing around with a woman and she is messing around with you and the two couples will meet on the street or in a park or some place and if you fight you will lose. Careful not to burn your hands.

Do not go outside for seven days. For this Ifa perform ebo with an eure and an owunko.

This is where Primitive Men began to evolve biologically, so that the Improved Spirit could express itself. Pygmies and Dwarves were born.

their enemies. When they make evil spells for pleasure or pride, their Angel makes them pay the mistake well, subjecting them to embarrassments, suffocations and even loss of memory; they attend to their Secrets and to a Sixth Sense that they have well developed, and which they apply through the Egun that helps them, because since they are Foremen, they are always used to resolve what they cannot see.

Orunmila lived on the Earth and it offended him and Olofin sent the Flood to remove the stain. You wish to betray your husband because you are not happy with him.

One day Orunmila made him a Sodde and saw this Ifa for him and said: You have a weakness with the Tigress, she dominates your will, because she bites you before having ofikaletrupon. For this reason the Awo should not let the Obini bite him, because she makes him lose his Will Power, when it is him who should always dominate the obini. Ifa of Slavery in Women.

Send the interested person to be removed. The mesenteries and iales of the owunko from the ebo and its grease you wash with oti kana and you add them in the igba, like the leri from the owunko. Then you give an osiadie to Elegbara and you put its iales in the igba and that is when you put it in the same leri of the owunko and then the iyefa from the ebo. Then go to the Mountain with the ara of the Owunko and throw it there. On the mountain you make a mound or small hillock that you cover with asho fun fun and pupua and paint the 16 Meyis Ifa and cover them without iyefa and with that igba the one which you have also added obi kola. In front of that you make Oparaldo again for the interested person with the broody adie dun dun. That of the mound is the Image of Iku and you leave it there.

Since the Hunter had other Beliefs and was only driven by the wish to despise Orunmila, he went hunting in the mountain, where he succeeded to kill an espin pig with his arrows. When the Hunter returned back to town with his beautiful catch, he began to say that Orunmila was wrong and that it was only a gossiper and a gando. Then the Hunters friends organized a party, to eat, drink, sing and dance and they invited Orunmila to the party. Orunmila answered through the messenger that : Tell your friends, that even though you succeeded to hunt one espin pig, none of you will succeed in eating it since the table will remain set because of the Hunters Disobedience. They did not pay attention to Orunmilas message and continued to organize the party. They set the Table and the Hunter who sat at the head of the table and had to be served first, that is how they did it and when he put a piece of the espin pig meat in his mouth that they served him, when he began to chew it he felt a stabbing pain at the roof of his mouth and began to bleed. Everyone became alarmed and began to help him and saw with fear that he had one of the arrow heads that he used to hunt the espin pig driven into his throat, which had broken in two and stayed in the meat of the animal. Shortly after the Hunter bled to death and no one who was there could eat, for which the Word of Orunmila did not fall to the ground and the Table remained set.

Oguns sons who were in town looking for the house where there was an akuko tied in a yard, could not find it and deceived they returned to their house and saw an akuko in the yard and since they were brutes started a war amongst each other and destroyed themselves. The Male began a discussion and the Female followed him. The next day they noticed that they had lost their direction and stayed where they were.

You and your family do not get along. You like to show off earrings and expensive jewels and it is Oshun who gives them to you. The person is scornful, has a bad attitude and that is why he/she can place his/her life or physical integrity in danger. He/she is a person recognized for his/her attitude, and has little friends. Give thanks to Elegbara who has freed you from many traps. The people met because they needed a wise man who would direct them towards their own good, and they thought of Orunmila. They went to get him, but as always, Envy emerged and the anxiety of Power in some, who said to get rid of Orunmila. Orunmila that day made himself a Sodde and saw this Ifa, who recommended that if they were to go get him for a meeting that he shouldnt go and not accept the granting on his behalf of any Responsibility, because there were traps set by envious and selfish people. When they were in the meeting, the majority approved to name Orunmila to represent them and work for their happiness. Orunmila told them: I have already been among you for a while and I have taught you how you must live to be happy, but I cannot stay with you forever on this Land since my mission is to travel the World to bring Knowledge, good customs and the salvation of Ifa to all who will listen in the different Lands through which I will pass. I am certain that among you there are honest and good people who can do much for your happiness. And that is how Orunmila left that Land and left them to resolve their own problems. Elegbara had an omo who was surrounded by enemies who were waiting for him where he had to pass, to harm him. Elegbara, aware of the betrayal that was to be done to his son, went out to look for him and saw from far that his son was nearing where the enemies were hiding. Elegbara with his Virtue provoked in his son the feeling to urinate, which made him get off the road and go into the mountain to urinate. And he urinated so much that Elegbara had time to arrive at his side and take him through the mountain and therefore deceiving the enemies for his son. Give Thanks to Elegbara who has saved you from many traps. The person endures the need to urinate and that makes him sick. Here is where a daughter lived with her mother and was the slave because the mother thought that she was the young one and her daughter the Old one. This Ifa Shows that the Person because of emotional causes locks himself in the bedroom of his house to cry, and because of this he fainted and suffered fatigue and had a fright.

431

Note: About the History of this Ifa where some Awoses ensure that the Masones wanted to kill Orunmila. This is considered false, because when Orunmila was on a pilgrimage around the World, at the beginning of it, Men still had not formed Clans or Secret Societies. The text from that History of Ifa is how it appears in this Oddun of Ifa, since how he himself says, Orunmila found himself traveling around the World to bring to all Men in their respective Lands the Salvation of Ifa.

This is where oroia the mother of ogun raised him among effeminates. This is where an awo made an inshe-osain and as a reward they gave him opolopo owo and one thousand ayapas. Not even the king is more than I am. Ifa of the fox. Speaks of justice and surgical operations. In this ifa is where ogon supported the world on his shoulders. This ifa gives indications on saving yourself, it is his mission in the world and in life. Put a key on ogun. Otura aira is a spiritualist a great clairvoyant.

Odu-ara and one silver peso. In this ifa was born the distinction or grouping of human beings into good and evil. The omo of this ifa is not considered very much by humanity. It is extremely dangerous to be around the owner awo of this ifa, because he steals your good luck. Pay attention to the dream that he will tell you about, your happiness. You will be made head of something. The one who goes to the sea stays, the one who goes to the river stays, and the one who goes to the same places returns.

Otura ka adifafun obanile koade mowe eni were bogbo mabinunbo wa orunmila lofobani eshu mafun otura ka adde lebo. Disobedience costs you your life. Here starts the idea that all awo must have a cuje of rascabarriga next to elegbara. Here they tried different cujes for the iyoye, but they would sicken the awo and only the rascabarriga would make him better and stronger and that is why they blessed it so that it would always be used in the ceremony of the iyoye. Here ogun was lacking strength for ofikaletrupon and pretended to be sick for the obini. Shows impotence. Bathe in the sea and whatever you find put it behind your door, for luck. Give an osidadie to ogun. Make an adde (crown) with 16 aikordie, make it and pass it through the tablero an place over the sopera of the saint. The obini of this ifa must marry an awo to be happy. ------------------------------------------------------------Orunmila told ogun not to be so proud and when he got annoyed not to throw things and that he had to orogbo so he would not lose his life. Ogun did not pay attention and one day arrived from work and very upset, he threw his machete with roa and it bounced back against the wall and stabbed him in the stomach. Do things that are said by orunmila so that you do not lose. What you look for outside your house, you can find in your own house. Be careful of surgical operations. An inconvenience may cost you your life. Do not be so inflexible, be more calm and let some things go without giving it so much importance. There are those who say that you are a sorcerer and that you know a lot. Be careful with diarrhea. Take care of your insides. Be careful of paralysis, colitis, and blood in the body. In your family there is a paralytic or someone who died paralytic. Take care of your liver. You suffer from pains or punctures in your mouth and stomach. Speaks of a deceased person who left a machete and wishes to do with one of you, but cannot because there is not enough light, and suffers for all the things that happen to all of you. Help this spirit so he no longer suffers and can then help you all. You are surrounded by much jubilation, do not pay much attention to it. Your house often smells of herbs and other times of sperm. Respect Saint lazaro. Careful that someone is watching you and may surprise you. Take care of burglaries and that you do not lose your money from your pocket.

466

Speaks of people that no one likes and who are looking for an ideal spouse, to support his spoiled children and sillinesses and to be able to endure it, one needs to have much calm and a great flematic temperament. You are recommended to receive orunmila (awofakan or ikofa). If a woman aside from the ikofa, you must marry awo, so you will be happy in your marriage.

Baba turupe awo ado katobina awo alaketo aya adifafun falofun, adifafun alom abaso alaw bomo aledodo akakolo nile igbin kanlolo komuloko aro mabomo alo lodo ayakanlenile. This is where shango lit his asho that he had prepared with etubon, and when he was in the meeting it exploded. The people became scared of him, and since then he was the handsome one of that land. In this same direction shango must always have tobacco and you blow smoke on him. This ifa states that the awo is sick or with difficulties. The secret is to gather two tobaccos and charge them with: etubon and tie them with ribbon, you place it inside shango and every few moments you blow smoke with another cigar without loading it. When you have a war, gather two tobaccos charged with etubon, place the names of the two araye and make ebo with them. Hang various dried or smoked fish on the roof dedicated to olofin. TO RESOLVE PROBLEMS WITH THE LAW: Gather a large tobacco, make ebo with it, then open nine holes and charge with three iye, an orifice with a conqueror, another with win the battle and the other with amans guapo, blow oti on it and pray over osain. The day of the judgment, if possible, smoke this tobacco at the court, if not, leave for osain. -----------------------------------------------------You must receive oshosi urgently. You must be careful with a daughter who is somewhat moody and horny, for which she may be discriminated against, and you will have to kill for that cause. Do not raise children other than your own, because in the end these will be your worse enemies. You must place a large ota behind your door, for an egun that sits there; give him akuko fun fun every now and then. The protective spirit for this ifa is Indian. Place fruits on yemaya and give him two akuko giros often and bring the charged to the sea. Inshe-osain: One eye of buey, leri of a carpenter, of a puffin, of alakaso, palo amansa guapo, dominator, win the battle, bacon, parami, yamao, abre camino, eru, obi kola, obi motiwao. Eat: etu, akuko and eyele. Use it in the left poquet. For this ifa you have to receive olokun and feed elegbara and yemaya.

468

You cannot mistreat the omo yemaya, because you will lose your luck. Because of mistakes made with olokun or with yemaya you may drown in the sea. Path of awo falolu. Path of the black pearl. Path: when elegbara was a prisoner. Path: when the mamey betrayed shango. Path: when oshun was on the road with hunger and wished to be married. Path: the warrior who married a princess. Spell at the foot of shango to adasile odara. When the person does not have any sensation during sex, the following spell is performed if orunmila authorizes it. A dried obi, two itana, one colored mamey, six small cobo-type snails, dry wine, oi, ori, efun, ou, an eya tutu, an etu. Place the abtea of shango on the floor, inside you put the six small cobo-type snails and next to shango on a plate fun fun, you put the colored mamey. Give obi omi Tutu to shango, letting him know what you will be doing. Sit the interested person on a chair or bench in front of shango on top of your leri. Place the eya tutu on him and give him the etu in leri, in way that the eyebale falls over the eye tutu, over his leri and over shango, and over the mamey that is on the plate. Sing to the leri: leri folori, leri Folori eyebale etu leri folori. Sing to shango. Then the interested person, will rub the mamey on his or her genitals, in a way that her ebo if a womand or his oko if a man are well smeared with the eyebale of the mamey. Blow dry wine for shango and light two itana for him. The person brings the eya tutu wrapped in ou and smeared in a manigua. The path chosen by the ara of the etu you ask from shango with obi omi tutu. In some time people would sneer at shango to the extent that they would spit on him. Shango went to see orunmila and had this ifa come out, and he made him ebo with: abo, asha, etubon, two small earthenware jars, asho fun fun oti pupua, oi, oti. After a few days, when the people saw shango in his house, they went to spit on him, but shango put the asho in his mouth, when the people got near he lit it and since it had gunpowder (etubon), threw a blaze. When the people saw this they yelled: kabo kabie sile jekua jey. Awo falolu lived with a daughter of yemaya and she said: my son, as long as you treat my daughter well I will give you everything in life, but the day that you mistreat her I will destroy you. Awo falolu was rising and rising and one day he fell in love with another woman, and since he did not treat the daughter of yemaya in the best way she began to suffer and complained to her mother yemaya and, yamaya destroyed awo falolu otura trupon by drowning him in the sea.

Suyere: elegbara nia laroye soku ewe. Elegbara nia laroye soku ewe. Ago elegbara ewe. Ago elekuse elegbara nia laroye sokuo. This is where the woman dedicates herself to the care of orunmila. From the awo she takes care of the apetebi but does not have sexual contact with her. Here it speaks of the charges of the vestal virgins, who were maidens, wives of the gods who made themselves responsible for their care. Nuns were therefore created.

It is an oddun that signals highs and lows in the life of the awo. The house is always messy. Speaks of termites in the bones. Ostioporosis. The person suffers from leg pains because of the acts of an egun, who was Indian and lame. This is where Orunmila made ebo and spell to the alevo and did not resolve his problem and he complained to orunmila that he suffered embarrassment.

Here the woman tries to dominate the man. Ebo is made for the man with asiadie, soap, dishcloth, ashes, that you put on elegbara and then you ask where he is going. Then you kofibori the man and the man and you tell them that with the prayers of his leri he has to ofikaletrupon that night. The prayers are with eyele meyi fun fun. Here you place ishu on obatala. For shango you place bananas, dates, and fruits of pia de ratn. This ifa suits the union of matrimony, make kofibori with eyele fun fun for both and that night you have to ofikaletrupon.

Speak of: Azonwanu, Oduduwa, Osain, Ogun, Ochosi, Nan Buruku- Shango, Obatala. Its Ewe are: Herb from blood, caisimon, shewerekuekue. The Heavenly Body or periespiritu. Make Itutu in life. Speaks of a Request. Speaks of the shadow of Fruit Trees. Its Iyefa is of imkinis peels. Oddun of best wishes, travel, you arrive to the end without incidents and with love. Women demand to have love. Sign of Love and Happiness to the couple that Weeps and has Sadness, since it is the Sign of Personified Love one is proud of his vanity. Here Elegbara Crowned Olofin with an Ade with medilogun ikorfie and 16 ivory bracelets. The Awo of this Sign wears a Crown when he has Olofin and will give an akuko to Elegbara inside a basket. In this Ifa Orunmila warns the Awo 16 days before Iku arrives to look for him. The children of this Ifa are vain and full of greatness, they think they are superior to everyone else because they are full of Grace and sweetness, but anyone can make a mistake with them, because they are just as much hypocrites and their words are full of satire (irony) and gibes. Do not trust anyone, they think that they deserve everything and that they are irreplaceable, but they suffer underneath their pride. They like to live and dress well, they try to show off better than anyone else and they are always talking among themselves, they think they are wise and superior than the rest. They are not capable of sacrificing themselves for anyone, they only sacrifice themselves for each other and to obtain what they want. If they feel their vanity has been hurt they can be very dangerous, because they are able to laugh and kill. They do not repent of anything or anyone. They cry of impotence when they do not succeed in developing or obtaining what they want. They are willing and owners of themselves; they are very temperamental and not very impressionable, they do not change countenance for anything. These people cry of the lack of Power and can even kill to obtain Power. They love and hate at the same time, and they hate those they love the most when those people do not do

478

or respect what they want. They experience difficulties and suffering because of their character, their character deceives anyone. The Owo was created in Oragun, but in this Ifa Oshun he sprayed it all over the Earth and the problems began. Through Ire it is an Ifa of riches, but also of obstacles and traps. Through Osobo it is an Ifa of Scarcity. In this Ifa Oshun, Ogun and Nan Buruku rule. Eyelemere is the one who went down to the Land of the Dead and returned to the Land of the Living. Place a piece of spear of agbani on the Ikofa. Born was the Strength of ones Hands and Teeth. Born here was when the Oya brings Scythe. Speaks of Olugonde. This is where Ogun turned rough and why the children of Ogun do not interpret Ifa. Here the Ogue belonged to Ogun. It is the Oddun that you place behind shilikun of ile when you give him eyele to scare away Ashelu. Speaks of Sickness in the Legs and there may be Paralysis. When you see this Ifa Osobo you place 16 kara bibo for Olofin praying to him for 16 days and sleeping with a white and green hat. Give Aparo meyi to Shango. Make iye with the ara complete except the leri that you leave on top of Shango. Bind the iye with rosemary ewe for friction in the arms and legs. For this Ifa Shango was Born in the Land of Takua, went to others and was Crowned King four times. When you see this Ifa you have to try to drink water that day until midnight. The first one to make Saint on Earth was Oduduwa and Orunmila made him Ifa. That is why the first one to use the Scissors and the Razor is the Babalawo. In this Ifa Ogun and Osain are respected the same as Olokun and Osain. Give abo fun fun to Shango. The Owner of this Ifa cannot hang up his clothes because he will be set back. Save your money in a small bag with eya and agbado. This Ifa Catches the Aleyo to Make Osha before the end of the year. Orders you to learn the Suyeres of Orunmila.

479

You have a vocation for Music. You cannot eat adie. Place an elese of agbani in your Ifa. You suffer from a ringing in your Ears, it is a Virtue that is all your own. For this Ifa you have to hear music. Be careful with ulcers in the legs. You cannot open spaces or cross over them. You have many enemies. Make the sign of the cross over it with Hay and place a part of it on Elegbara and put the other one in your pocket. Prepare three handkerchiefs, one white, one yellow and one blue, join them by the ends and put them on your Guardian Angel and wear them once in a while. For this Ifa you have to Respect Ogun and Yalorde very much if you want to be well. Take good care of your woman and your daughter. Fulfill your promises to the Guardian Angel of your obini, that is your fortune. You have the need to have women outside your home because they are the ones who bring you fortune. You have to use supports. You have or had a woman that would sit in your house and sing to you. You lose knowingly, but thanks to Orunmila you will come out well. Your lucky woman is mestiza and mainly the daughter of Oshun. You have a daughter that you do not know, because during your lifes incidents you left a woman pregnant without knowing it; be very careful with young women so that one of them do not turn out to be a daughter you do not know. All of your sickness is in your stomach. The first ohuni of Oshun was Aban who was bad and mistreated her very much. Oshun went to be seen by Orunmila and he made her an ebo and then she was left with Orunmila. When there is a party at your house, once it is over you have to mop it with omiero of Atiponla and verdolaga and throw everything out onto the street. When you go give owunko to Elewa for this Ifa, you throw your Dilogun in a washbasin with omiero of ewe of Elegbara and a candela brace; then you add some water and everyone present will drink it, whatever is left you throw with the Dilogun into the

480

washbasin where you had Elegbara and that is how you sacrifice the Owunko and the akuko. TO COUNTERACT SLACKNESS: Take the skin of eure of Orunmila and make a sash for your waist of the interested person. To this, on its inside and backside you put an Inshe Osain with; Bejuco Levantate, peregun, quitamaldicin, seads of French paradise, eru, obi kola, obi motiwao. Pray on the tablero and use it on the waist. WHEN THE AWO IS SICK: Take aari okun and put it on the floor in front of the bed, there you write this Oddun and give two eyele. Then lay down the Awo on the bed and when you get up step on the aari. Then you pick it up and throw it on the street. AGAINST ECONOMIC SET BACKS: Take two etu and make sarayenye and sleep with them inside the house; on the following day let them go on a hillock. FOR OSOBO IKU: Make ebo with eran malu, eko, oti, eku, eya, aari. The interested person puts his feet on the aari okun and makes ebo and Orunmila marks everything else. This Ebo is made at night. Inside an iba you mark Irete Meyi and fill it with omiero. On the floor your mark Ogbe Wee and cover half of the circle with aari and the other half with eruru (ashes), over this you put the iba of Omiero and give an akuko to Obatala and to the iba. Then he will bathe with this Omiero. AS A DEFENSE: Make ebo with eure or with owunko (the animal you choose), hold the animal by the shaft for the interested person while he makes the ebo and everytime the Awo presents it on the forehead of the animal you sing: Orunmila baku ni ebo bombo yakata bombo yakata. (3 times). If there is no animal you make it with the jars and sing the same thing. SECRET OF THE ODDUN: In a guirito you add atitan erita merin, aari oo, ota keke of odo. Give it eyebale of adie and place it behind the door. INSHE TO MOVE THE ARAYE AWAY: Nine ei adie painted with 7 crosses, each one on top of Oya for 9 days.

481

OPARALDO: Five ewe of Oshun for omiero: Romerillo, gold button, paraiso zarzafras, Imo Oshun. Give eyebale to the omiero of the yellow chicken with which you make the Oparaldo. Give the chicken candela and bring it to the river and when the person comes back he bathes with part of the prepared omiero. This Oparaldo is dangerous and the Awo then makes Oparaldo on himself with osiadie. The person must eat animal bone marrow. EBO TO CONQUER IKU: Eran malu, okoto, eku, eya.. Make it at night. (Okoto: Igbin). Ebo: 3 peonies, 3 small porrons of oti, 3 of oi, 3 spears, 3 ota keke, 1 akuko, 2 adie aperi, 3 eko, 3 itana, eku, eya, asho aperi, pupua, fun fun, 2 obi.opolopo owo.

Awo kekee layo inshe Oyo ayaka tete morin tete moa. Do not eat reed or coconut. The Awo fo this Ifa has the virtue of making fun of the law. This is where they raised their hand to Orunmila and the Owunko raised his hand to Osain and for that reason Osain cannot manage with Orunmila. This Oddun Retires Immediately. Do not give favors because no one will thank you for anything. When you see this Ifa throw three crops of omi and the three of oti on the door of the house. The person cannot eat salty or spicy foods or foods loaded with condiments, or stuffed foods or foods with chili, because he suffers or will suffer from Hemorrhoids. Here was born Obatala Yeku Yeku. Adifafun Igbai. Here was born the touch of Agogo to Obatala and why you have to cover Obatala with Ou, Ori and you place Efun on him. You cannot leave strangers on the ile. Do not allow maidens to sleep in your house in their underwear, because you may lose your Mind and commit a Violation. Your house is ruled by Obatala.

483

Do not step on ashes or blood. Do not cut herbs after six in the evening. Speaks of Irenlu, whish is Violation. The Igi of this Ifa is the Palo Blanco (white stick), which is also know as Pin Florido o Well Dressed. Place on Orunmila eight Igbin in each hand. Speaks of the Pion of roses which is the French or Acacia Paradise. When this Oddun comes out he shows that everything will be Resolved, even though he Indicates that the person must become a prisoner even by mistake. Your araye has colored eyes. Maferefun the Ants are not to be killed. Here was Born the Bejuco verraco that you drink along with the Bejuco garaon to avoid Impotence of the Awo of this Ifa. Here was Born that Olokun lives in Tinaja. This Ifa signals Marine Phenomena like the sea level, penetrations of the Sea that comes along with Iku to collect what is his. This Ifa signals Lack of Respect and Lack of Consideration by the Godson toward his Godfather. Here was Born the Awarding of Olofin. This is a Sexual Ifa. A woman that has this Ifa in Ikofa the husband kills her for being a whore. The Owner of this Ifa may have the Iku come to him because of drinking. When Awo sees this Ifa in his house, if Osobo is coming, after the Consultant has left, the Awo cleans himself with a pollon and asks Ifa if he has to make ebo, if chosen, after making it he throws it in the corner of his house because that is where his enemies are throwing bad things. Ire Untelu for letting yourself be dominated by Greed, pride and Vanity you can bring about unhappiness for your children, because you will do everything in your power for them to marry people with money or high positions even though your children are not in love with these people. Because of Ire Untelu many people have died and he can die in the end. Ire Untelu had two mothers, the one who brought him into this World and the one who raised him. Normally his Father never took care of him in the best way and now has to give him an old Owunko so he may obtain the help of Egun from his father.

484

Because of Ire Untelu you suffer of Hepatic Cirrhosis, Intestinal Tuberculosis, Throat Problems, Hemorrhoids and blood problems and bone problems and you can even end up Crippled. Ewe of the Oddun: Ateje, ewe tete and cundiamor. Here began the ideas that Orunmila has only one Ota. When Ire Untelu found himself traveling the World, it had been a very long time since he had heard from his Godfather Orunmila. When he arrived to the Land of Orunmila, he told his Servants that they were tired of traveling such long days from Land to Land: We have reached the Land of my Godfather Orunmila, in a little while we will reach his house and there we will rest. When the Servants of Ire Untelu noticed that they were at the doors of Orunmilas house, they entered as if they owned it and began to knock down the coconuts and eat them without asking. Shortly after entered Irete Untelu in Orunmilas house and when standing before him he sat down to rest on a chair as if he was in his own house. Orunmila became proud and said: The men that you brought came in like vandals into my house and knocked down almost all the coconuts of my shrub without asking for permission to do so and now you come in and enter into my house without saying hello. Then Orunmila transformed himself into an Ota and buried himself. Ire Untelu of any shape that exists will always be a victim of Jealousy and false testimonies will be brought onto him. Ire Untelu has had a Curse since being in his mothers womb. Shows that the Man has coagulated Secretions in his Prostate and when drinking alcoholic beverages these mix together and expand through the organism causing serious consequences. Ifa says that the trace of salt cannot be picked up in water and traces of deer tracks cannot be found either in the boondocks of rocks. There is one that plays tickets with you and when you do not have money he puts it in, with that one you are going to win the lottery. This Ifa explains that the person has many unfounded enemies who want to destroy him out of jealousy. The Ewe Tete said: People do not want me to live, and I have to live. People do not want me to prosper and I must prosper, because my lifes destiny is in the hands of Olofin, Orunmila, Oshun and Elegbara. When the Ewe Tete was born, people would not let him grow up and he had to become thorny to be able to live.

485

Through this Path the Stability of the Person is only ruled by Olofin and as a reaffirming Judge in the Land of Orunmila, therefore he will have to inexorably be Awo of Orunmila so he may prevail and live as was done by the Ewe Tete. People want to embarrass you and everything that you eat does not fill you. When Olofins Wife wanted to go out during her gestation, she went to Orunmilas house, who made her a Sodde and saw this Ifa for her and said: To achieve what you want to do, which is to have a child, you have to make ebo with: Eure, eyele and when you go to bed with your husband you have to take something personal away from him. When she went to bed with Olofin she took the ring he was wearing on one of his hands and put it away and shortly after she became pregnant. When Olofins Wife delivered her child, people began to talk, saying that the child could not be Olofins child, but that Orunmila was the father. But since Olofin and Orunmila were old, they did not pay attention to those rumors. Irete Ogbe Onide Omo Olofin Elogushe. This is a Bird that is similar to the muleteer. Olofins daughter wanted to get married and Olofin told Ologoshe that he had to marry his daughter, but that he had to look for food every day. He offered to take her but later did not fulfill his promise. You are carrying on with another person because of a woman, the young girl is in love with you and the father is rich. TO PURIFY YOUR HOUSE: Wash it with white amaranth, ewe bluing and rompesaraguey. Then amala and oi in all the corners. TO OBTAIN OWO FROM A PERSON: Taiz made of plums, egg shells of eyele just taken out, atiponla. Pray on the Tablero and give to the person so that he blows it in his house when he arrives. TO PREVENT THE ARRIVAL OF ASHELU AND GBOGBO INKAN ARAYE: Crush toasted agbado, eku, eya, 11 atare, kara bibo, oguede manzanos, half an eko, earth from three corners (in each corner you pay one cent), oi, oti, amala. Knead everything in front of Elegbara with a lit candle, praying Irete Untelu. With the dough you make three balls and place one in front of Elegbara and one in each corner of the house. SPELL TO DESTROY:

486

Yagruma, 7 ekute, 7 aguemas, 21 atare, sweet acacia, eweoriye, kotoriye, french verdolaga, salvia from the Sea, adan. Everything made afoshe which is what is direct from this Ifa for Ashelu and Onilu Unlo. Irete Untelu cannot be pulled out so that it does not lose, you must always think before speaking to not fail and you have to learn how to dominate your pride and your temper so you do not lose yourself. You will have a house, car and children if you take care of Ifa, the Dead and the Saints. Someone is going to go get you at your house, be careful because they want to deceive you and deliver you to the law or to your enemies. Be careful because someone is stealing from you, if not humans than the Dead are stealing your luck from you. Do not accept anything given to you to hold because if it is stolen you will be blamed. Be careful with things that are stolen, it may cost you your life if the stolen item is an obini. Do not climb on chairs or climb stairs, you may fall and hit your head. When you go out to the street look behind you right away in case there is an enemy that is following you and when you look he hides. When you go out to the street you go out with more than three more people. An elder of yours is deceased, that is your Protector. You sold or pawned for pleasure, without needing the money and now you need it. Ifa says that what he says takes three days or three months to be seen. You are the son of Obatala or he accompanies you. For your wedding you place your tablecloth and your utensils. Do not let anyone sleep in your house because they may have a bad way of life and the law may come to your house. Nothing works out for you because of peoples jealousy. Do not tell lies. Here the Babosa prayed to Obatala and he made ebo with oti and ashes and took her by her face. To get rid of the itch from your throat gargle with cundiamor and water from the Soup Pot of Oshun.

487

Because of a large fight or problem that you had otoku with your mother. So that your house is not messed you have to place two loaded igbins behind the door. You must always have a white flag behind your door because despite the Saint that is in your Head, your house is governed by Obatala. Here Elegbara wanted to stay with the three Diloguns that were left and for that he did not pay attention to anything or anyone, he did atrocities and in the end he ended up with them and Olofin did not condemn him. The Virtue of deceiving the Actions of the Law. For that reason Elegbara has 21 Snails in his Dilogun. In this Ifa you sing: Eyeni own wemile ese iwere iwere aluaran lona ona wemile ona Awo Mirin omo wo mirin omo mirin Iku. Says: That the Cundiamor was put in the Ifa and is put in anytime there is Intori Arun so the person can heal. Be careful that no one gives you a fruit, tobacco or any other thing with Ogu. It is an Ifa of Abiku. The children are handed to Oshun.

The person always wishes to see Mounted Saints, do not have too much confidence, you have to first ask Ifa if you can do what those Mounted Saints are asking of you. He needs to use a golden ring that is washed and prepared, and give thanks to that ring, because that will bring him good luck. The person has a great difficulty and you must be careful when solving it, because solving may cost him his life; but you say that you wish to resolve it whether he dies or is killed. You have to perform a Spell to avoid a loss. If the person is a man he has to make Ifa. If he is Awo of Orunmila he is seated next to Olofin, because Orunmila and Olofin rule him. You are a person with good luck. You have to bring Obatala four itana and one church. For the ile you make ebo with one akuko, one jar of omi, eku eya You have to bathe with four different herbs so that your luck improves. Someone will give false testimony that concerns you.

489

When something bad appears in your way pick up your Ifa and pass it over your head and, it is a real ebo of Awo. Abandoned places or churches are visited. This is when people began to bury the dead in Churches. There must be a Mass performed for Deceased Family Members and for deceased friends. Give an akuko to Shango and Elegbara. Make ebo with pins. Be careful with the favors you give. Mount an Ishe-Osain in leri of agbona. Speaks of Septicemia. This is when the Jamo made ebo. Here Orunmila defeated all of the Mayomberos. This is where the Arares charge the Awan of San Lazaro in a basket. Place the Awo on the Tablero of Ifa in his leri, pray Oddun and spray omiero throughout the house with the iruke of Ifa and sing: Teteregun Mogun Moyoko Nifa Here the Oshas and Orishas because of jealousy declared war on Orunmila. Olofin summoned him to judge him, but he released him and apologized. Orunmila answered: I forgive my brothers but I have won more in experience and knowledge. You have to drag your hands over your head from your forehead toward the back to make all the badness move away. Place flowers on Azonwanu. This is where a General for not obeying Orunmila, the enemy attacked him and his army dispersed and he could not gather them together any more. Speaks of dispersion when faced with danger and you will be left alone. Place amala ila on Shango. Because of this Ifa you cannot carry anything on your head because if you slip and fall you can fracture your spine or you may develop a Discal Hernia. Here the World was covered in dust and life was impossible, because the dust would get into the peoples noses, lungs, etc. and the Son did not provide enough heat. Ifa of unhappiness. You cannot continue living where you do because they will destroy you.

490

You are living in the Darkness and you need to search for the Light of Religion so that you come out ahead and live happily. You cannot use rings or clothes that are given to you because they may be prepared for your destruction. Shows Impotence in Man. Awo cannot be inconvenienced because Shango is at his side; if you do so Irete turns around and is bad for him. Feed your Leri and pray Teteregun Mogun Moyoko Nifa.

There is invisible fire for haven stolen obini. Here speaks the Bibijagua. This is where the Peacock said: With one of my eggs that I throw I can destroy the World. Everything that enters Awos house Orunmila takes with him. Here was born Economy and Banking Agencies. Here Mathematics was created. Speaks of Indian Spirits, place flowers on them. Obatalas Son was disobedient. Blow cold air on yourself with a feather fan from a Peacock (Agbeyami), to redeem yourself from the sins of Humanity. Because of this Oddun you have to make Ifa. The Awo of this Ifa only needs to make seven Ifa, because after the seventh he loses strength. After making Spells he can make seven more Ifas if Orunmila authorizes it and there he can finish. Not one more. Path of the Sixtenn Peacocks where only three of them saved themselves. Three got lost. Here Men discovered the secret of the Compas and Square, to perfect the Square and the Circle. This Oddun has the Secret of Orun Lala, where he cannot do without okokan of aya dun dun or leri meta of Egun Obini. Place three small china dolls on Ikofa. You have to take care of your hair and beware of anyone that places their hands in your leri because they may harm you. This is an Ifa of Enigmas, Puzzles: of Prophecies. This is the Ifa of the three igba: One with agbado, one with ota and one with omi. Be as fast as corn, immortal like rocks and necessary like water. The pruning of trees was created. Funeral Ceremonies were created. One must lose their hair every ten days and prune the trees every year. The Awo of this Ifa must Swear on Orun. He has to Receive Ozain, Oduduwa, Olofin, Olokun, Orishaoko, Oluwo-Popo and Receive his Pinado as quickly as possible, because he and his Godfather will distance themselves from each other. This Ifa is a Messenger, Oshun is the one who brings the Message at twelve at night (that is: during the day). The ebo for this Ifa is made after six in the evening.

493

Place five painted ei adie on Oshun. In this Sign adie meta lese Egun, pashan, agada, and the eya tutu lese Egun. Place two eyes from a cherna behind the door. Speaks of Heart Attacks. Gall Bladder Problems. Problems in the Bones. The disease starts from underneath. Give owunko and an akuko to Eshu and it goes to four different places in four packages and the heads are hung from the roof of the house. Give owunko to Ogun along with Elegbara. The Oparaldo must be with three animals. Ifa Says: That no one considers you. You always have something pending. You do not know how you are going to come out of a problem that burdens you. For Osobo: The person has a hard time resolving his things. Husbands will always have fights. The Woman Ikofa, the Man Awofaka, but they must not have Osain (This is for marriage). A woman who has this Oddun of Ifa in Ikofa and is a daughter of Shango should not live with Babalawo because he can kill her. Who will fall in love with you with your physical or moral defects? There are many rumors because of this. Some women who lived a messy life are sticking to you and because of that you abandon your own self. A person has given you something to drink so that you never forget him or her. You have to give an Indian aku to your leri so that you do not lose your memory. Humanity wishes to stain your reputation. If you leave your house go back to it. During an opportunity you did something wrong and stained your reputation. Betrayal and Jealousy will always follow you. When you lend money never give it from your money box or from your pocket, change it first, so that it is not worked on and you are ruined. Inshe behind your door so that it does not leave your house and your reputation is not ruined. No one will ever be able to sacrifice an Egun from your Spiritual Picture, because every time it appears he does it in a different way. Do not mistreat any girl that is under your power or under your care. ABOUT THE JUDGEMENT OF ORUN.

The Awo of this Ifa when he is Sworn under Orun, sometimes calls him at midnight writing his Odun on his chest and making sarayenye on himself with an eyele and praying: Shenshe Biku Egun Biku Iku Lorun. Egun Orun Iku awalode Orunmila bawa, Orunmila mawa. After that eyele to the roof at the foot a shrub of oguede. Then bathe with purple basil, carob, marpacifico and shewerekuekue. Pray to the leri with Obi, omi tutu, eran malu, leri eya tutu and sleep on the mat next to Ifa. The prayer goes to the river. You must attend to Osains things and not separate from him. SPELL OF IRETE YERO: Irete Yero has to mount on himself an agboran the size of his feet to his waist. He loads up with Leri de omotitun obini meta, leri of three pichones of gunugun, fang and fur of a tiger, insects from the Earth, leri from a peacock, okokan of aya dun dun, ewe: Colored pigweed, guao, ail, oriye, kotoriye, cardon, cardosanto, iroko, ebano carnomero, leri from two eyo, zunzun, atitan osiku obini, inzo of obini Egun, aikordie, adan. This eats eyebale of ologbo and of ayapa. When you are in a tight spot give eyebale from your veins to the Awo. INSHE OSAIN OF IRETE YERO: Leri of arriero, tiger skin, carcoma, honeycomb, eku, eya, epo, agbado, aikordie medilogun. INSHE-OSAIN: Land of Bibijaguero, arriero, sinsonte, earth from the cemetery. SPELL TO DEFEAT THE DIFFICULTIES OF IRETE YERO. 15 mud ikoko keke, 1 large mud ikoko, 16 aikordie. The large ikoko is placed next to Elegbara with an ota from the Sea and when Elegbara eats you also eat that ota and call Eshu Adawa, and also eat with Oluwo Popo. To mount it put cotton in the large casserole so that the ota does not touch the mud, the 15 ikoko keke are placed next to the large one. The Awo prepares 16 plates, each one with a different thing: Eku, eya, epo, agbado, ori, efun, raw ishu, ishu shell, ground and cooked ishu, 9 kara bibo, 10 eku aro, 10 olele, one with miniestras, one with meats and one with ajonjoli. With everything above you continue to clean Awo and each thing you place in an ikoko keke, when you clean it at the end with the ajonjoli, you put it back in the plate where it

495

was. Then you sacrifice an osadie giving eyebale to the large ikoko and to the 15 ikoko keke and to the plate of ajonjoli. The 15 ikoko keke, each one chooses the path that Ifa indicates without removing the eyebale from on top, which is what Seals the Pact Feeding the Souls (Spirits) who are expected in their respective destinies. When the Awo goes to bring those ikoko to their destinies, that day he cannot give a Reading to anyone and he cannot have contact with women until after he Prays the Leri. After having placed each ikoko in its destiny, he picks up the plate of the ajonjoki and brings it to the foot of a shrub of cundiamor and calls on Soyi. When he goes with this plate, he brings a small garabato of palo bobo (laurel from India) lined with asho that is white, black, red, yellow and blue and then brings it into the house (the garabato) and puts it on Eshu Adaw next to his large ikoko. This small garabato of palo bobo, Irete Yero picks it up in the shrub of laurel from India where he brought the ikoko keke number 15, which is where he had to bring it, for being the favorite of this Ifa and that is where Irete Yero must go once in a while to rest. The Elegbara Eshu Adaw eats ounko periodically along with the Elegbara of Irete Yero. Make Omiero with itamorreal, ewe dundun, and your ingredients and the Awo will wash his feet without breakfast and chew on a leaf of itamorreal without breakfast. Before sacrificing the ounko wash it with omiero. Then burry everything. Awo Irete Yero cannot live with any of Oshuns daughters, because sooner or later she will be the cause of his death, because in time she will know a Quimbicero that will tie her with Ogu so tht she will go live with him. This Path of Irete Yero determines that Oshun Ekin Orun is responsible for going to get everyones Soul at the time of their death and Awo Ekun Akalamagbo is her Messenger. That is why Irete Yero is an Oddun the Oversees Egun. Here the Father tries to have his daughters separated from the World so that no one will see them and especially not fall in love with them. If the father has that attitude, his daughter will leave with the first one to fall in love with her. Because of this Ifa women pray to the leri to their husbands. Awo Irete Yero also prays the leri to his wife. The day that a woman goes to pray the leri to her husband she will not be able to finish any type of work in the house, she will only be able to go to Church to pray before the Holy Saint.

496

Any woman that has Ifa in her Ikofa lives with the man that she has because the Spiritual Entity she has and that always appears in a different way was in tune with him and living with that man while that kinship exists. SARAYENYE: Three ei adie, one with ori, one with efun and one with epo in front of Elegbara and put them on top of you. The next day bury them in three different places far away from the house, being very careful that none of them break.

Do not let anyone that you do not know clean your house, because you can lose your Eyesight. (A Grace that you possess) Make ebo so that you achieve what you want. Bothe Men and Women must avoid lack of sexual control so they do not destroy themselves physically and morally. This is where they threw out Babalu-Aye from the Land of Lukumi. Babalu-Aye lived in Agayus house, fell in love with the sister of this Dad-Baani and infected her with his disease. Make ebo with Bull Nerves for the person who you give ayapa to with Shango and from this one scrape and combine it with dry wine and ei of carey to drink the Impotence.

Tired of so many delays, the Bird went to be Seen by Orunmila and this Ifa came out that sent him to make ebo and to move immediately from that place. The Bird made the ebo and went to live in the mountain, and that is where he was able to prosper. You have to move as soon as possible from where you live, make ebo so that you may achieve this. If you continue to live there, you will never be able to lift your head, no matter how many Spells you make. There was a daughter of Oshun who was very delayed, since she was going through a bad situation, nothing would work out for her and none of the men would come out good. Oshuns daughter was tired of suffering so much and went to be seen by Orunmila. This Ifa appeared that sent her to make ebo with Fruits, basket, yellow handkerchief. She got everything and made it. Shortly afterwards, Oshuns daughter was walking through the town, and recognized a young man who she later found out was the son of the King and who fell in love with her. They started an affectionate relationship up to the point of marriage. Some time after the King died and the young Prince assumed the Throne, and that is how Oshuns daughter turned into the Queen of that Land, for being the wife of the King. Get a basket, inside put a yellow handkerchief and go out to the street with it and buy some fruits. When you come back place them by Oshun, praying to him and lighting two itana for him, five days later clean with the fruits that you fasten inside the handkerchief

509

and take to the river, so that Osun takes away everything bad that you have over you and achieve your happiness.

When Awo sees this Ifa, his wife cannot go to the plaza for seven days, because you may find a problem there. This Ifa Speaks of Marrital and Separation Problems between spouses. This is where Gossip was Created. The Owner of this Ifa likes to gossip. Do not make or take judgments. Life gives hard tests and punishments. The Person comes here to Expiate his previous faults on Earth. When this Ifa appears in and Atefa, the Godfather to avoid Problems, has to give the remaining eure to his Ifa, so that Orunmila speaks to him and this Oddun Irete Kana does not touch him from close.

Place a tambourine made of leopard skin. Swear allado from the river. Marks Deceit of the Godchildren. This is where the Ayapa, not understanding Tambor, stole it from the leapord and appeared with it before Olofin, touched him and won it. The Leopard was tired of looking for his tambor, he hid on the road to observe everyone that went to Olofins house. When the Ayapa heard him singing, she understood that it was for her and stopped; the Leopard recognized his Tambor and went up and scratched her with his claws and when he tried to throw her against the ground to kill her, she ran away and hid behind the

Be careful to choose what is not yours, because you will be surprised with that object and you will be completely disfigured.

The Land that is Orishaoko gives everything, stop and eat everything it stop and gives. When Awo sees this Ifa throw the Okpele back over your left shoulder. If the person tha made Ifa is Old and got this Ifa, you tell him that he is already fulfilled, to adore Ifa very much and not to Work with him, so he may live a little longer. Yana ki yana adifafuneru kuta takut kinshe Eleripin. This is where the grave of Ogbe (The Knife) was born, since when Ogunda Eyi died in Abisinia, from his two apprentices Oshe-Omolu and Irete Kerda, the latter was the one who kept watch on Okekere at the Grave of Ogunda Eyi. It has this Suyere: Trete Kerda Iwole Arareo ni oun bakoye. The Decomposition of Cadavers is Created and of all Organic Matter. Oku Lobi Orisha Inton Egun is Born. Speaks of the Spirit of Agamu, who came out of from the bowels of the Earth to teach Men that the Gods were fed with the blood of the Sacrifices. This Oddun receives the Name of Alewejade, the Exorcist of herbs, since he is the one who removes Curses from Herbs, that is the Shepe ewe that Obatala threw on them. Speaks of problems at home. There are problems because of Land. You wish to make a change or separate yourself from something with which they do not agree with. Or those that depend on you wish to separate themselves from your protection. 513

Ifa says that sometimes in your house Oshas Come Down and some say the truth and others tell lies. You are always crying and you do not like to See yourself or make ebo. There are three Araye that wish to kill you and they do not know how to catch you so they can harm you. Do not neglect yourself and make ebo. In this Ifa Obatala exchanged the Dog for the Goose. Speaks of a person that you have helped very much, you have even given him a space in your house. Be careful with that person and a betrayal, where you will suffer a great embarrassment if you have not yet suffered it. Here Obatala ate Dog Fun Fun. To Solve a Problem of Embarassment in the house and succeed in making that person leave, give Dog to Obatala, which must be white, preferably small and celibate. In this Ifa the idea was born of placing the Iales on the Oshas and many people cannot eat anything from the inside of animals, because in the Iales lies Death, Life and everything good and in the meat is Iku, Arun, Ofo and Eyo. The Person is tied up in his Yo or in his Will, for which he lives to live without a desire for anything. You have to make Spells to free her form Slavery in which you have been subject to. Make Ebomisi meta (Three Baths). One each day. The first one bathing the entire body from head to toe with ewe: Verdolaga, rompesaraguey, carob, guacamaya, zarzafras, yanten, plum, jobo and yamao. The Second with: Abericunlo, From the neck down. The Third from the head down with: Ten in the Morning, including leaves and flowers. Speaks of Obatala and Oshun. When this Ifa marks Iku or Arun do not respond. You must Receive Orishaoko. There is a Mothers Curse. When Awo is robbed or the Babalawos do bad things to him he puts this sign on the Tablero, prays and blows mentando to the Arayes. The Awo of this Ifa cannot look into the eyes of any deceased person, because they tell him: I am waiting for you. Give unyen to Shilikun of Ile so that the luck that is waiting there comes in. Because of this Ifa when the Awo Prays the Leri to a person he must be careful, because the Curse that person has may reach you.

Here Olofin cursed the Earth to be mute forever for not having eaten his third child. Irete Kutan is the Gravedigger for the family. Place a basket of fruits under the bed and then take it to the swamp for luck to arrive. Place a corn cob on Elegbara without one grain missing and with that cob give a jutia to Elegbara so that you may prosper. Bring Elegbara to the mountain and under a shrub of aroma give him an akuko. The Iyefa of this Oddun carries Igbin and Ishu. To drive Iku away give four adie to Orunmila, two white, a black one and another that is yellow. To avoid Tragedies and Problems with the Law give an osiadie to Elegbara cleaning all of those present, then you take it and leave it in the four corners. To resolve situations place a washbasin with water and bluing and a plate with fruits under the bed for nine days and then take it to where Orunmila says. On Egun you place name that is cooked, mashed and tied with ajonjoli. You Siju to Eshu then placing it over ashes and lighting three itana for it. Because of this Ifa Elegbara carries three aikordie. To remove from the Ile of Oshosi: Place an live ekute (rat) inside a mousetrap and inside you put a slip made of paper or asho fun fun on which you write seven times the information of the prisoner and place next to Elegbara, over and Atena Ifa with the Oddun where Orunmila deceived the Laws of Men: Oshe Tura (that is always needed) Otrupon Obara Ife, Irete Untelu. This Atena is made with Efun and oti, on top you throw the powder from three guine peppers. For three days you light Elegbara asking for the Freedom on the Prisoner. On the third day you ask if the rat is to be given to Elegbara and you grill it or if you bring it to the door of the jail and you release it there. Note: This Spell originates in the book of Ifa of Ramon Febles Molina Ogbae Tua. For the desctruction of the Arayes: Get a can with a lid and throw in some pebbles to make noise, inside also put a paper with the information of your enemies, each one written seven times.

515

During three days and at midnight you sound it in front of Osain or the warrier Saint who was responsible for the Spell, with a lit itana, asking for the destruction of your enemies. On the third day after sounding it in front of Osha, sound it at your door at midnight and throw it onto the street, so it rolls. This Spell may be applied in any other Oddun of Ifa if Orunmila chooses it after being asked. SPELL FOR GOOD HEALTH: On the floor mark with efun and oti one Atena Ifa with: Oshe-Tura, Irete Kutan, the Sign that the person has in Awofaka or Ikofa Okana Yeku, Okana Sa Bilari and Otura She. On this you place Oya and give him and eure fun fun, that before you would have made ebo for the interested person with the other ebo ingredients. You paint this Atena of Ifa over the Earth, beside a joro joro in the bottom of which you would have placed a tile from a canal (acanalada) with the Oddun Irete Kutan. Throw the eure in the joro joro and clean the person with gbogbo adimu that was put on Oya, which will then be thrown in the joro joro. Give Obi Omi Tutu to the Joro Joro to know if all Ebo Ada, is covered and place two lit atan on top of them. This is to improve the Health of the Son of this Sign and you are feeding Oya and the Earth. Irete Kerda has Three Prendas that are: 1- Malambo. 2- Iya Osha Olele. 3- Iya Kerenjegbe. This is where Orun Alatinga Orun Sherekun Sherekun Orun had three daughters and two sons with Oroia. Daughters: 1- Ewa Inle Afokoyeri. The Spirit of the Earth. 2- Ewa Inle Kolepo. The Spirit of the Rocks. 3- Ew Inle Ashikuelu. The Temper of the Bowels of the Earth. Sons: 1- Iwin. Spirit that Lives Outside the Igbodun. 2- Tiwere. Spirit that waits for the Neophyte in the Igbodun. In this Ifa the Obini Speaks of Olofin Iyeni Kun Kun, who is Osha Lare. Ebo To Move Up In Life: Akuko, 4 eyele, soap, ewe Orisha Koya (Arara Herb). With this after the ebo you wash the leri, so that it rises like this herb rises. Pray: Irete Kerda Ifa kaobale adifafun Eri. Ebo: Akuko, adie meyi, eyele meyi, 4 bunches of acelga, hair from your leri, eku, eya, epo. Ebo: Akuko, er n malu (4 pieces), 4 bunches of acelgas.

Irete Tomusa Kere Awo mowaye omo Shango, omo Oya ayeni Ifa oni Babalawo omo Obanyoko banyoko If Banyoko Orisha Banyonko yenyoko yeni Ifa yoro yereni Maferefun Shango, maferefun Orunmila. Suyere: Emi Poplar lomi Shango gbogbo Araye omo keleke ewe ayo, ewe ayo, ewe ayo. This is an Ifa of Unhappiness, since the person has never been happy and when she finds Happiness or Joy in Life, she loses it quickly, because she is generally a Sceptic she will do nothing to maintain it. This is an Ifa of Maltreatments to People. Physical Maltreatments or moral ones, because there is a Family Opposition relating to Religion. The Disfiguration of Beauty was Born. Here the Osesnos left the Herd and began to pass work. The light that lights my path lights it until one day and from then on I will only have darkness. Because of this Ifa the Elder does not see the Youngest Grow Up. The Godfather will not see his Godson Irete Ansa fully grown. You have to position the Manada so it does not scatter. Two Blessings or Lucks await you, but to enjoy them you must make ebo, so that it does not happen that you cannot fully enjoy them for being excessively happy and you become sick, whether sicknesses suffered or serious aftereffects of accidents suffered, since this Ifa marks Serious Injuries and even the Loss of a limb or part of a Lower limb. There is a Hormonal Deficiency Problem in one of the Spouses. You have to take care of Religious matters even with the opposition of the family so that the person does not get lost or brings about his entire unhappiness. Take care of your legs and Excess of Sex. You may contract Syphilis and even become insane.

518

If the Father is deceased you have to make what Ifa determines. Place a small drum for Elegbara. The Osobo of this Ifa is Vanity, which is why the Awo of this Sign should not be considered superior to the rest. This is where Jewels were created. Irete Ansa maferefun Obini. As long as the Obini accepts the same Religion of her husband, if not the marriage will be a disaster. For this Ifa Receiving Awofaka or Ikofa, if that person does not have a Saint Made, he has to Receive Oya with whichever Saint he Makes or Washes. If he has a Saint and no Oya, he must receive her quickly. In this Ifa was where Olofin had to kiss Shangos feet and let him make ebo on him to Save the World. Oduduwa was a witness of all of this. This is where placing a Hand of Ifa on Shango to Control the Power was Created. Here it was determined by Oloddumare that everything on Earth would exist until the end of their respective Lives or Duration. Feed your leri and Oshun eku, eya, ori, oi. Put seven coins in the collection box of the Church. Because of this Ifa the Ebo always has three toleticos, one ikoko made of mud and three grains of agbado. Be careful of drinking too much. Here was Born the question for the Moyugbar and you firs say: Ashe Gbogbo Egun Ke Timbelorun, Ashe Oluwo Ke Timbelorun. You have to pray to Olofin with all your Heart, if not you will not see anything. To reach the Power you give four eyele to the Egun of Iyare. You have to Pray to the Leri at the mam of the interested person so that at the end of one year he does not otoku. The Prayer with eyele meyi fun fun. Here is Speaks of the Poisoning of the Fruits that kill Irete Ansa. Also Speaks Aai (The Cockroach). Do not save your money in bills because the cockroaches will eat them.

519

When you see this Ifa in Atefa build a fire on the mountain with different igi and give eyebale of akuko around the fire and then throw it inside the ara of the akuko. Then gather the burnt bones of the akuko to Mount an Inshe-Osain on top of the Godson. Then the Godfather and the Godson drink water from the porron so ther is no separation between them. The Awo of this Sign must give Shango 200 abo, 200 akuko and 200 eya bo (pargos) for having Crowned him Oba of the Land of Adarasa. The Awo is to gather three palmiche brooms and say in front of Shango: Shango You are asking me for 200 abo, 200 akuko and 200 eya-bo but I do not have the means to give them to you and you know this well, but since you Crowned me King of the Land of Adarasa, I cannot refuse to be at your service and with these three brooms I will sweep you house everyday with all my Heart. You pray Irete Tomusa and then you say to him: Shango allow me to make a Sacrifice that is proportionate to my means, I will give you an Indian akuko. For this Ifa you make four Ebo and each one goes to a different town or city. They have Earth from each one of those towns and one akuko of each one and the remaining ingredients. The Akuko are for Shango, Elegbara, Ogun and Oshosi and you add eyebale to thos ebos. Each one goes inside an ikoko made of mud with three olubombo (three toletes) in each one. Here the Prince was desperate to be Crowned King but his father the King lived for many years and deceived went to the country. There he thought of making oti from the seeds of the palm trees and he was advised not to climb them, but he decided to climb them anyway. On day while at the top of a palm tree, a messenger arrived with news that the King was dead. From the happiness he received, because he would finally be King, he did not pay attention and fell to the Ground. And since he ended up crippled, he was not able to govern that Land. Note: Ifa of Unhappiness. Of Frustration. AMERU OSAIN OF IRETE ANSA. A Babosa, land of the corner closest to the house, jenjibre, epo, iyefa of that Sign, ewe sacu sacu, iyere, oti, eku, eya, obi kola, guajaca, dominator stick, conqueror, wint the battle.

An Osiadie, two colored eyele. Give eyebale in the neck and feet. Make it next to a joro joro. OPARALDO. Three ikoko keke: One with amala, one with ila and one with Moorish rice. Make ebo with the osiadie and two eyele. Prepare the regular Oparaldo, clean the interested person with the two eyele. Give eyebale to the ikoko keke. Put one eyele in the ikoko with amala and the other one in the ikoko with ila. Be careful with papers of value that may be ruined.Give some to Ogun eku, eya and epo. Do not be stubborn so you do not lose luck. Maferefun Oya. Give an oasiadie to Eshu in the spout. Do not sit in chairs that are ripped. Do not take long to do things you have to do. Do not get wet with rain water. When you go out to the street first light an itana for the Eguns so they do not disturb your path. Pay attention to the documents that you sign. Do not eat fruits that are given to you. Receive Oduduwa and Babalu-Aye. Here Olofin took away the Tablero from Shango for being alone in parties and orgies. Place an Awofaka on Shango. Do not eat foods that are: Hot, salty or spicy. You suffer from Heart problems. The False Shango speaks: You are taking responsibility for someone elses mistakes. Ayapa and one akuko to Shango and then you throw in amala ile that is well cooked and very hot directly into the Soup Pot. Three days later you ask where everything goes.

Irete Ka Ifa Mafo guobo omuno ateka adifafun Il odafun Imire il korugbo. Irete ka om ni ateka adifafun Inure adifafun Il ateka lebo eyele, akuko lebo. The Fight between Water and Sand. Maferefun Obatala, Oshosi, ati Shango. The house of the Monkey stinks, the house of the Jutia stinks and the house of the Black man stinks. This is where the Higuera dn the Art of Meditation of Men was created. This Ifa Marks Violence and Pride and that is why the person loses herself. The Owner of this Ifa has to receive Osain completely to be able to defeat his enemies. Any Inshe-Osain (Protection) that is done for this Ifa has to carry oju of oka (eyes of mama) and is lined in maja skin. This is where they threw out Shangos son. The Fight between Water and Sand: When Olokun wanted to extend his dominion to gain more land in the Sea, he was unable to achieve it because of a great mass of rocks that was preventing him. Olokun made ebo with: Akuko, taladro (auger), pico, pala, barretas, so that mass would give into his feet. And that is how he succeeded in extending the Dominion of his Waters. The person has a constant fight in her life, she does not rest day or night. You must Receive Olokun. The tools of this ebo are put on Olokun and the animals are sacrificed for him. Make Oparaldo Three Times on the same day. One in the morning, one at noon and one at six in the evening. All are osiadie, asho fun fun, dun dun and pupua. The first one with ewe: Carob and lamo, the second one with ewe: Purple basil, almacigo and marpacifico and the third with ewe: Guenguere, aberikunlo and Granada. The Pendejera was Sweet and she had to turn Bitter so she could live.

522

You have always lost because of your good Heart, since you have taken on responsibilities tht you have not been able to support, or you have made your life complicated by solving other peoples problems. When you stop getting into things that are not your own you will live with more tranquility and rest, which is what you need. Take Ewe Pendejera for Chest Flames. Place five Passion guiritos on Oshun that are well prepared with grajeas and oi. There are big family problems and in order to be happy the person needs to separate from the family and live very far away from them. One day Elegbara asked a Farmer and akuko and he rudely refused. Elegbara understood that the Man was very hasty and violent and wanted to punish him. Elewa made an agreement with Ogun and at night they went to the field and they trampled it. In the morning when the Farmer got up and saw his field mistreated he became extremely angry, took out his machete and began to finish destroying it and because of the violence that he used he seriously injured his foot. You must dominate Violence and Pride so as not to lose yourself. An Old Monkey and life expert met up in his life with a Jutia Conga and they began to live together. The Jutia had experienced much work during her life and the Old Monkey began teaching her the better way of living and she learned quickly how to find the daily bread with more happiness. The Old Monkey and life expert had not taught the Jutia all of his Secrets, since he distrusted her future attitude, and one day she left him. One day the Jutia Conga walking through the mountain ran into Eyo (The Maja), and finding herself in danger, she went to hide at the house of the Old Monkey, and he was surprised to see her again assisted her. The Jutia Conga begged that she wanted to have a Secret to be able to defeat the Eyo. The Old Monkey seeing her ingratitude, falseness and the ungratefulness of Jutia Conga he said: When you run into him again, look at him firmly in the face and do not stop looking at him for anything. Happily the Jutia Conga left the house of the Old Monkey and went toward the mountain. There she ran into the Eyo and looked at him firmly and Eyo who was perverse and cruel, took advantage of this opportunity and with the power of his look, he kept her until he caught her and ate her. For Obini: Be very careful with living with Men who are older than you and if you separate from him never see him again, because he will kill you and find a way to lose you. Oparaldo:

523

For Obini: With Adie dun dun. For Okuni: With Osiadie. A person placed an iba of oi for Shango at the foot of a ceiba, the Ayapa came out from the bushes and the Man realized that he was being watched and followed her, but she went into the river, and when she came out to look, the person killed her. The person wishes to obtain something and the Saints are the only ones that can give it to her. Change your way of being, you only have your way and you are variable with the Saint and that is harming you. Ebo: Akuko, abiti, working tools, Sea water and sand, a piece of reef, gbogbo ashe, opolopo owo. Here it Speaks of Social Corruption.

Irete Trupon Guele Awo obade adita oun Osha Oguirin tio lo guiyatinlo bini om gueguerere eyele lebo, owo la mefatontiefa, eyele, akuko lebo. Obatala Ayalguna is the Owner of this Ifa. If Nire Aye maferefun Orunmila, Shango ati Obatala. Do not eat ila (quimbombo) to be able to prosper. This is where the Meat was created for the Bone. What was born was when people are born they are Spirits and when Iku needs them he takes them. You have to receive Oduduwa and Osain. Now and then give Osain and Egun eyele meta. You have to place Elegbara, Ogun and Shango together to eat akuko. Do not eat etu (guinea). The door of your house is short. The person cannot eat corn, he is sick to his kidneys and Shango and Elegbara have him this way. Be careful with your wife who assaults you with scissors. In Man it Marks Impotence. You suffer from pains in your Waist, Kidneys, Stomach, Intestines. You cannot eat fish for seven days. Large Pargo to leri. Rub the door with ewe tete and give it eyebale. Feed Egun with Sango and Osain. Make Oparaldo with a colored adie, smoke it (cook it with smoke) and take to the river. The interested person bathes with five herbs of Oshun. Ebo: Akuko, two adie, ariques, basket with ota, eku, eya The Aleyo comes in to make the ebo with the akuko and the tied adie with ariques and hung on his shoulders and the small basket of ota in his leri. You have to feed Orun eyele meta along with Egun now and then. The Egg-Plant, the Quimbombo and the Tomato had a powerful enemy who would not let them prosper. The three made ebo, but the Tomato did not do it completely. That is why the Egg-Plant and Quimbombo grow tall and the Tomato stayed small. The person has to make ebo to free himself from a Powerful Enemy that does not let him prosper. Once Orunmila arrived in a Land and the King Saw himself out of curiosity and got this Ifa, Orunmila told him: You have to make ebo with an akuko, two adie, ariques, one basket with ota so that you do not have to carry a heavy load in your head. Te King who was very proud, answere ironically: What absurdity are you saying if the only load that I support in my head is my Crown. A few days later while the King was sitting at the table eating a fish bone got stuck in his throat and, no matter how much his servants tried to help him, they could not solve the problem, so they went to Orunmilas house and told him what had happened to the Monarch. Orunmila said to them: Bring him carrying on

525

his shoulders the akuko and the tied adie with ariques and with the basket of rocks on his head. When the King arrived with his load at Orunmilas door, since it was low, he had to crouch to enter, which made the bone that was stuck get unstuck and fall into his stomach. Speaks of problems with Throat Disease. You have a bone stuck that you need to take out quickly so that you may live happily. You can no longer bare the load you have on top of you. The Path of Yemaya and Shango. Shango climbed on Yemayas shoulders and that is how they entered into Olofins granary and stole the peanuts. All of the Saints were summoned to be questioned, each one of them justified where they were when the peanuts were stolen. Upon being questioned Shango and not being able to justify where he was, he said to Olofin: Father these hands have not touched burglary. When Yemaya was questioned he answered: These feet have not touched the floor of your granary. Olofin understood that they were the burglars, but because of the answers that they gave him he did not accuse them. Be careful of robberies with consideration, because in the end you will not catch the burglars. So that the Osobo turns into Ire: Egg-Plant, Quimbombo and Tomatoes in the ebo. Ebo: Path of the Bone and Meat: Akuko dun dun, ayapa, gbogbo igi, ewe Cuban banana, corn fluff, root of caa brava, adie meyi, asho dun dun, oplopo owo. Give the akuko to Iku in joro joro and the oko (testicles) go to the ebo. Give eyebale to the agboran calling Osain.

Irete Suka apekankola adifafun Akuperu oguere Ode Obini kuaye obini awa Nifa Obarabaniregun moyore ayebe Ifa Orunmila lorugbo. Suyere: Eyu reo ewa Eyureo ewa. (3 v) This Ifa Marks Calumnia. Obatala was caught in the guides of the shrubs of ishu that he had in his house and despised the Earth. This is where Orunmila in Oyo made a Sodde for Soyi to give him the Kingdom of Dahomey, but there was no road to arrive there, only eweyuko (Firm Mountain). He made him ebo with an eleguede to then sprinkle it, but first his children picked it up from the palm of his hands and begged him that when he would be born with his guides for him to show them the Road to Dahomey (To the Land of Arara). When the eguede threw out the guide, he showed them the Road to Dahomey. When they arrived they founded the kingdom and blessed that Land and Fed the Earth and Soyi Fomayi Agronika Unobilasa Yesu Dajomu. And he made himself King. In this Ifa the Ashe of Osain passed onto Orunmila. The person has the head of a King and the Brain of a Child. This is the Ifa from the Land of Madada, where the people did not understand what they spoke and, Orun and Oduduwa had to direct the Religion of that Land, where the Senalo live who speak a language which has a meaning that is not known. The owner of this Ifa will always live in suffering because of their children. You must be careful when treating your friends and because of your children they are annoyed. The Owner of this Ifa should never hand over his children to anyone to take care of them, or he will have a loss among them. Here the Jutia wanted to know what Orunmila was saying, since she will tell everything to Elegbara. Orunmila surprised her and hit her head with the irofa. From here emerged the idea that when the Jutia is sacrificed you hit her head with the irofa to stun her. Boil a tongue, put 21 pins in it and hang on a ceiba and say to Olofin that you leave the tongues there of your arayes, also asking Shango to free you from these. 527

The Root of Jaguey serves to stop the Cancer Process. Here the suffering of Woman is of the Womb. A separated Womb, continuous cysts or hemorrhages. Receive the Ibeyis. Be careful with the stealing of clothes. The Maid ends up being the Owner and Madam. Be careful with trips, it is preferable that you do not travel because there are traps or something bad may present itself and you will be arrested and you may even be muzzled. Give akuko fun fun to Obatala. Make ebo with an leri of Jutia. Here the head Oshosi lives on a Pilon made of almonds. You wash yourself every moment with osiadie and eran malu and sing: Berenile ay ay Iku Berenile ay ay Obatala Bab Bod yeyere bab yeyere. To do Harm to a Child of this Sign, get an eyatutu, paint Irete Suka on it, put opolopo atare on it and give the eyebale of that eya tutu to Egun on behalf of that person. For this Ifa place eya with ishu on Obatala. For Orunmila and Shango you place smoked eyele cooked with amala. For Good: Get an eya tutu, write Irete Suka on it, cover it in epo, ori, efun, on it you put ishu, amala ila, agbado and clean your body in front of Egun and then give it to Egun while singing: Egun Baraniku Iku Baw ebaniye awayara Iku lade Are Egun aguyerun awalere. For this Ifa you get an iba of omi, oti, ori, efun and place on Egun to obtain Strength and Power. You Kofibori with eyele meyi fun fun. Then you cook them with ishu and you place fro Egun with Obi, Omi tutu, 21 atare, oti, efun in two new white plates with four dried eya, ori, efun, epo and you light two itanas. Okpele of Irete Sukankola. It made with ivory shells or ayapa shell, you wash it with omiero from air potato leaves, current yam, ewe odundun, itamorreal, bitter-broom, marigold, verdolaga, ceiba, almacigo. Place inside Shango and give him a colored akuko. Wash again and give him eyebale of eya tutuan (large) along with Shango and a male eyele. This Okepele always Eats Eya Tutu with Shango.

Agongo Nile Wawao agogo Elegbara Iku Orisha Obogbo Egun Olofin, Orunmila, etc. Here was Born that Misery and Need would travel together throughout the World. Oshe Yeku adifafun Lashure (The Queen of the Waters) to whom Yemeya delivered the Omi so there would be rain on Earth. This Ifa Marks the Expectation of Catalepsy and the Preliminary States of Death. Oshe Yeku is the Overseer of the Oba Eguns in Ara-Onu. It must be written in the Atena of the Oparaldo. Ifa ni Maferefun Yemaya. Ewe: The Salvadera, Mallow and Thorn. Put Shekete for Elegbara, to change Attitude and to be loved and valued by the rest. Give Eya Tutu to the Leri. This Odun is Dominated by Agayu. This is where the Bokonos (The Babalawos in the Land of Arara) who did not have Oshas, had to wash them so they would accompany them. The idea was Born that Osain should accompany each Osha in its Decent down to Earth; Where each Osha has his Basic Osain. You have to Obori and Ebomisi meta with Ewe of Yamaya. You have to receive Orishaoko or Olokun, Osain and Axonwanu. Put coconut shell and guiras shell with the ota keke beside Elegbara or Obatala. (Ask which one).

Here was Born the idea of Placing Flowers for the Dead. Egun Ore Ore: For the Owner of this Ifa Load a small jar with: Gungun of Egun, one ota (ask from which path), earth from different cemeteries. Cover the small jar with asho dun dun with the Signs Oshe Yeku and Oyekun Pakioshe. On top of the small jar put a doll made of cedar with arms and legs that are joined and dress it in blue. Oshe Yeku: Carries a Prenda that lives in an ikoko made of mud loaded with: Pieces of coral reef, 7 strong igi, 1 leri Egun, and you make ebo with it and feed it directly with Oruneyele dun dun. It also has limayas made of bronze, iron, copper, 7 pieces of magnets, 7 snails, one Hand of 21 Inkinis, 7 ada, 3 tridents, eru, obi kola, osun, obi motiwao, eku, eya, epo, agbado, ori To defeat the Arayes: One ei adie on which you paint Otura Niko and Oshe Yeru. Pray different Oddun, place it inside a glass of water and cover with plastic, on top you light an itana and place behind shilikun ile. There you Implore Eshu, to transform himself into his Destructive stage and to make an appearance at the ile of the enemy and destroy everything of his. The next day, make the same request, on the third day again, then throw the water out onto the street, wash yourself with the ei adie and then break it on the street. The Fly was Awo and one day he said to Orunmila: You are going to die if you do not make ebo, but I will Mark it for you. Orunmila answered, That is fine, I will make ebo, but I will mark it myself. Orunmila Marked: Eya Tutu, oi, Fly paper, eku, eya. When the Fly went to eat, he got stuck in the sticky paper and the ebo went away. Babalu-Aye and Osin made a Pact to mutually transmit their Secrets and Knowledge. When it was Osains turn to transmit his, he said: It is late, we had better leave this for another day. Oluwo-Popo, understanding Osains betrayal, said: Wait, wait to see if with your knowledge and secrets you can exterminate this new plague that will hit all of Humanity and will destroy all your children. And Oluwo-Popo created the fly and with it, Cancer, a plague and a malignant disease and both unknown until then. And that is how Oluwo-Popo took revenge on Osains Betrayal. One day all the young Bokonos of Dahomey gathered because they wished to have some leadership and they went to see Orunmila, who made them a Sodde and saw this Ifa for them, and said: Bokonos Dehomeyanos Aido Hwedo; is the Main Dynamics that moves the Sky and the Earth and it existed before Earths Creation, and the Leaders with Ogun Algbedes children. If you all go to your house and see Dangbe (El Piton), who cuts and

546

eats the spear of Ogun; you will all become chameleons with black tails (Iku). But if you all take care of Oguns spear, you will be red-tailed chameleons, Emi Life. That is why the Leaders do not Consegrate themselves on their own, because although their Merits accredit them, they need to Be confirmed and that is called Igbo Nole Leri. This is Predicted by Oshe Yeku. It is the Destiny of Man, that his body disappears once his life finishes, but it is conserved in Spirit, and this is Oshe Yeku. Which the confirmation of Kings and Leaders all around the Earth; which Gives and helps to Maintain the Fire Needed for Royal Power, with the Blacksmith forgin ahead. Then Orunmila made them kneel down, and Confirmed their Ifa, giving them their Crowns after making them their ebo. In the Land of the Dead there were Thirty-Six Fair Spirits that were the Representatives of Oloddumare and were commanded by Oshe Yeku. One day the Four Kings from the Land of the Dead, who were: Orun, Egun, Olokun and Ashikuelu decided to go a claim their Lordships to Oshe Yeku of what the Four Kings pretended, he went to see Olofin and he Granted the Ashe of being the Overseeing Oba of all the Oba Egun, giving them an asho dun dun so he would make ebo and cover himself with the said fabric. When the Four Kings saw Oshe Yeku transfigured and covered with that asho dun dun, in him they recognized the Messenger of Olofin in Ara-Onu (The land of the Dead), and they gave him honors of being a King. And since then Oshe Yeku is the Overseer of All the Oba Egun of Ara-Oru. IFA SAYS: Be Careful because you can go somewhere and become a slave. You have many bad eyes watching you. You may kill another man because of a woman. If it is awo: Call people so they can help you at home. Be careful because someone wants to steal from you. Attend to visitors who will bring you luck. Do not kill any flies. If your Godfather has passed away you must give him an abo. You have to do something for Azonwanu for his health. You are very much into Spiritualism and attend Church often. Do not go in a mass of people, you may die because of someone else or pay for other peoples mistakes. Do not Eat anything Holy. Your enemies will fall to your feet. You have to light oil lamps and place flowers for Egun for three days. You are here because of a woman or because of your child. You were taken care of or raised by a woman who is a child or a worshipper of Yemaya. Give thanks to Oshun. You owe Oshun and you are a child of hers, You must place her carefully. Do not curse. Speaks of a Person that is forgetful, always absent, authoritative and who does not like to work. If a Man: Be careful with your lovers husband. You have problems with a brother. If a woman: Take care of the Saints. Take care of your Breasts.

547

You did not get married and the okuni has another obini. If a man: You doubt your childs paternity, that is why you hate him and mistreat him. Ebo: Adie meyi, osiadie meyi fun fun, abiti, ewe of Yemaya. After the ebo the Osiadie fun fun for Yemaya and ebomisi with ewe of Yemaya. Ebo: So you are not Enslaved. Osiadie, etu, aari onika (from the beach), eku, eya. Ebo: To Avoid Tragedy: Etu, eyele, obe, ada, abiti, asho area. Ebo: Akuko, muequita, a green fly, eku, eya, epo, oi, oti, agbado, ori, efun, a china elephant with a small chain, asho timbelara, opolopo owo. Once you finish the ebo ask where to place the small elephant. When you lay down the flies on a table you do it in groups and when you pick up a rag to hit them, you never aim for only one but for a group of them. Do not put yourself in a group where only you will be persecuted. Here Orunmila said to the Men: The morning is so sad when the air does not transmit the sound of the mortar pounding the ishu.: The night is so sad when in vain you try to hear the sound of men circiendo amala. What a terrible day when the freideras do not stir with the ejoro (rabbit) and adie fricase. What a large shadow is created when Orunmila retreats under the Shadow of Hunger. You have to Feed Orunmila.

Oshe Paure Shilekonpegbo Olorun, Shilekonpegbo Inle Mokue Aye Ashe Nifa Mori Yeyeo wan wan Laye Ifa, adifafun Olowo Ifanyoko Telenifa Shilekonpegbo Orumale Wamale Ashe Ebo Ashe To. Oshe Paure owara Awo Baba afefe aweye Ifa Baba shere kofedun Yeye, Baba Shire kofedun ebo. Baba Shire Kidefun Orunmila. Baba Shire Kodefun Olefin, gbogbo tenunyen elebo. Suyere: Ewa yeni Clorun ayawao. Shango oi agbeo. Osun eni adde. Oshun Ayawao Shango. Oshe Paure Yeyere Yewara Oni Abanshelu Ofito moya lodafun Oshe Paure. This is an Ifa of Ungratefuls and Trators. The secrets of Ifa are traded and the Neofitos rebel. Nothing is respected, or the Saints, and power is pursued at any cost, whether moral or material. Oshe Paure remembers his parents when he needs something from them and never thinks of encouraging them. You suffer from bad Eyesight, blood problems, and problems in your legs or feet. Marks Messes at Home. Witchcraft. Violent attitude. Debts with Oshun or with other Saints or Persons. Vanity is the main Osobo of this Ifa. You have to learn to Respect Saints, Fathers, the Elders in Religion, and be humble and thankful so as not to lose yourself. Ifa ni Maferefun Egun, Olofin, Orunmila, Yanzan, Obatala, Shango and Orun. Ewe: Pink, sunflower, maloja and curujey. In this Ifa was Born the Door to the Heavens. Oshe Pauire must use a pearl necklace. In this Ifa all the religions were created. It was where Men Raised Altars to Adore the Gods. You must have Ivory and silver inside your Ifa. You also suffer from Arthritis and Bursitis. When you eat you always have to leave left-overs for Egun. The children of Oshe Paure scatter around the world because of the lack of attention he has for them. You have to be very careful with your children so you may keep them at your side. Oshe Paure has to love himself and lear to respect himself and respect the saints and people, so that the latter do not despise you. This is an Ifa fully of Egun. Olofin and Orunmila are the ones who know. In Oshe Paure it speaks of the Seven Sorrows and the Eight Virtues. Here the Barbo a Bagre is the Fish that Represents Olofin on earth.

549

This Ifa says that the Awo of this sign that you have to protect from war and discord as a fire that demolishes. Someone is following your footsteps, since Awo Oshe Paure came to this life to expire everything bad that you did in other Encarnations. When this Ifa sees itself in an Atefa, the Godfather and the Oyugbona of Oshe Paure have to give Eya tutu to their respective Ifa, and the godson has to give it to his Ifa as soon as he receives Kusnardo. If it is Eya Oro (guabina) even better. Abibo and Owiwi (The Cao and The Owl) speak in this Ifa. Money sits over your head, your debts are hanging from your neck and nudity is addicted to your behind. That is what Ifa Oshe Paure said and recommended Kofibori with adie meyi fun fun and two yellow roses. Another of the Osobos of Oshe Paure is drinking and the excessiveness of your mother. If you let yourself be dominated by drinking and do not have the character to youre your wifes ambition then you are lost. For this Ifa give Osiadie to Olorun, Obi at Dusk and one eyele Agrupa. The next day two aide aperi to Oshun in the river so that you let him know everything that is happening. Cry in the river. There was an Omo Oshun who always went to the river and asked. Oshun always heard him and would give him what he asked for, but he never took care of giving anything to Oshun, he always went to look with his hands empty. One day he arrived at the river and called Oshun, but she did not respond, because what she would give to her son, he would waste with the rest, and she was tired of giving to her son. Note: The person only remembers the Saints and his parents when they need things from them. FALSE MONEY: There was much hunger on Earth and everyone complained about the lack of money which is all they needed, to make a purchase and distribute it among everyone, but the Traders would not accept their money and said that the money was false. When they were distressed the most an old woman appeared carrying a child and who looked like a witch. When she saw the people crying she let go of the child and as she left him there she went home, she took out her money from a chest, returned to the plaza and gave it to the people. They bought food and said: Thank God that we can now eat. When the Old Lady heard them, she said: Thanks to me, the daughter of Olofin and the one who gave you the money so that you could eat, you are a bunch of ungratefuls. Oshe Faire will not thank anyone for the favors they give him. Pact with Shidiku

Oshe Di oko modes adigafun Orunmila Onibarabaniregun Ifa Nire. Ifa Maferefun Yalorde ati Obini. Awa Aye ebo Otolorun ebo Aye. To be Born you have to make ebo and to die you have to make ebo. Born was the Great Nonconformity in Women and there are no Men to accommodate them. Take care of your legs. The Elegbara of this Ifa is Named Lalafan and is the one who cleans up all the evil. You have to use a necklace of Oshun. On Oshun place a prepared eleguede, to resolve situations. A son that is being Seen needs the Sodde more than you. When Osain had 201 children, 101 were evil and 100 were good. Here you prepare a ball to throw at the araye at the door of your house, with an onion, tobacco ends, etubon (gun powder) and three atares. All in iye. The person has never taken care of his Saints things and now has a large war and is in a hurry to have it resolved and to have money. Ebomisi: Ile odo water and ile okun bound together (Oshun and Yemaya) for seven days. You have to have rain water to put out the candle which was used to heat the bath water. Add seven drops of cane syrup to the bath, five drops of oi and iyefa from Orunmila. Also, place five panatelas for Oshun on a plate fun fun, and for Yemaya seven corn wheels on a plate with wather until it is born. The panatelas go to the river, the corn that was born goes to the Sea in their respective plates so that they sail away. Inshe-Osain: Tobacco, earth from two hillocks, ewe mazorquilla, termites from two tiebeams. All in iye and you throw it in a well, add fire and throw smoke around the house. Shango has a load of firewood placed on top. You have weights that you cannot take off. You are an oil lamp from the street and darkness in your house. Be careful with displeasures with a child. You will get good luck after three showers. Do not get wet or let the rain fall on top of you. Prepare your work tools, because you will be getting much work.

552

Be careful because you are being criticized, but those people will need you. Shango Says that you should not call for money so much, because you could use it for your burial. Give thanks to Oshun. She hopes that you will fulfill your things with her. Use a Necklace and Habits of Oshun. Do not run because you see another running. You have to receive Elegbara and Orunmila. Refresh your Necklaces or your Protection. Everything is scarce and you do not know how to solve money problems, make ebo and you will find a way. You are a somewhat pernicious person and you do not have set words, you have a temper, you are sparing with everything and you are ungrateful. If a Woman: A Man that has does not like what he has. Aspires or waits for another person. Since you had contact with a Man you have poor health. Be careful with Hemorrhaging. You pawn your things and if your man does not give you money to take them out, you will lose them. Your husband will get tired of giving you money, because with everything that he gives you, you still never have money, because you waste it. Take care of your husband because you could lose him. Speaks of a Pregnant Woman. Be careful with a friend or neighbour that visits your house, she brushes her hair to the back and does not like to use make-up, be careful with gossip, because she is a lesbian. Take care of your Stomach because it is ill and there may be a surgical operation involved. If a Man: You work on your feet which damages your feet and legs and tire you very much. You are somewhat Impotent, make ebo with akuko, two eyele, one bottle of rain water, ada, obe, akatampo, two ilu and your measurement. There is a woman that uses necklaces and clothes and who wastes her money without thinking that you might also need some. She pawns your things, and if you do not give her money to take them out, you lose them and you are therefore wasting your money; keep it and you have to Yoko Osha, because you will find yourself in a hurry. You are crying over a woman that you had. You saw her recently and will go back to her, that is where both your good luck lies. You are doing something and you say it is being done to you. Do not think of taking revenge on anyone. Someone did something bad to you and you that sooner or later they will pay. You will have a woman that will be with another man, she will become pregnant and you will think it is yours, you will only be convinced otherwise when the baby is born, because the other man is lighter than you. You have many things made of iron that you are accumulating. Olofin sent three rainfalls onto the Earth. With the first precious stones fell, jewels, diamonds, etc. and everyone went outside to pick them up except Orunmila, and they said: He is such a fool, he could make himself rich.

553

With the second rainfall there was money that fell, everyone went out to catch it except Orunmila and the people said: He is such a fool, he does not catch the money and he cannot live without money. The third rain fell and with it an infinite amount of spears, bows and arrows, knives, but no one went out to get them, but Orunmila went out and collected them all. The people said: What would he want with them, since they are good for nothing. When those people that had collected the jewels, diamonds, money, etc. Wasted their riches and threatened those who now had them with taking them back, and those who now had them so as not to lose what they had went to Orunmilas house to buy the weapons that he had collected. Orunmila sold them and became rich. Ebo: To Win the War: Akuko, an ilu keke, 15 ota keke, abiti, obe, ada, akofa, ofa, eku, eya, epo.

Oshe Niwo Ifa makerefun Ogun inu ei oyu ekun oyu Oshe Niwo. Here was born the Great Evil in people of Seem to be one thing and be another, to therefore acquire in that way what you plan to do. Oshe Niwo should always have an iron cage in his house with a jutia inside. Oshe Niwo should look at the labels of the spray bottles or medicine bottles that he takes, because he could mistake them if he is in a hurry and poison or intoxicate himself. Take a good Look at what you take. Mop the house with ewe carob. Oshe Niwo fights with his godfather and when he has godchildren, they will leave his side displeased. Speaks of Three People that are separated. Behind shilikun ile you place a algarrobo stick with a red knot, to resolve problems. The Elegbara of this Oddun carries leri of aya (dog) or tiger hide.

Then bathe with that water and the Godfather burries the herb and knife. Ewe of the Oddun: Carob. For this Ifa give an akuko to Eshu, so they do not transform you.

All reduced to Iye, make ebo, then throw it into a small bag so that the interested person can put it inside his pillow case. When you see this IFa in your View, if a Man, You have to Make Ifa, because he was born for Fortune Telling. Oshe Niwo cannot trust any Woman, because sooner or later she will betray him. You came out well from a big hurry, but if you get yourself into another one, you will not be able to come out well from that one. You have three women and one of them is still with her husband and you will find him in the house and you will have to run. Wherever you are invited do not go until three days later, because they wanted to kill Orunmila there. You have been through bad things, make ebo so that you clean your path. In a Single Woman: She has an Egun that lives with her and does not let her keep a steady husband. You have to make her Oparaldo. In a Married Woman: Be careful with your lover and your husband, because the latter may kill you. You live with a Man that you do not like.

When Awo finishes Seeing her, he gives her two Obi, and says: Cut them in your house and put them in front of your Angel. Take care of your house so it does not become messy. Oshe Niwo: Man or Woman, they like young spouses and to not lose him/her, they give them everything they want. Secret of the Jutia, the Devil and the Obini.

The woman when using the powders says: Just as the Jutia saved the Woman from the Devils Claws, that is how I saved myself from the claws.

559

That is why Oshe Niwo, whether Awo or Apetebi has to have a Jutia in their house inside a cage. Ebo: A Jutia, a cage, a trap, owe algarrobo, eku, eya.

And Obatala cursed the Sandbox Tree for making him wet with the rain water. Oshe Bara was very poor and went to the edge of the river to speak with Oshun, she gave him a pebble and said: You will prosper depending how well you take care of it. He brough it home and put it in a visible place. Oshe Bara began to prosper and each time he made money he would buy something to decorate the house and then would move the pebble from one place to another, the time came when Oshe Bara had accumulated so many things that he had no where to put the pebble, and forgetting the advice of Oshun when he gave it to him, he threw it out. Oshe Bara began to lose everything he had and when poor he went to Oshun again, who when she saw him so poor asked about the pebble. He answered: I had so many valuable things and beautiful decorations that the moment arrived where I had nowhere to put it and I threw it out. Oshun said to him: How could you throw away what I gave you and forgot my advice, you will die poor and alone. Oshe Bara is the Shrub of the Pumpkin, that someone plants and it continues to expand and gives out fruits far away from each other and another is the one that picks them.

Oshalufon was old and had three sons, which he could not take care of properly, because he did not have enough time, and when he would return from work tired he had to continue working in the house to prepare food for his sons Oshagrian, Oshanla and Ayalguna. Oshalufon decided to look for a responsible woman to take care of his three sons and to take care of the house work and Eshu Yelede, recommended the woman, who was the Eure. The Eure got engaged with Oshalufon and began to work at the house, and after a short while she no longer took care of the house or Oshufons three children. Oshalufon told her many times about her lack of care, but she did not correct herself, so Oshalufon went to be seen by Orunmila. In the Sodee Orunmila saw this Ifa and sent him to see Ogun because he had to make ebo with eure, so that Ogun would kill her, but it had to be by day and where there would be many people among men, women and children, and that when he cut the leri, he would cut a piece of Emu (breasts), and to give each person there a piece to taste the Emu of the Eure. Ogun fulfilled the request made by Oshalufon and cut the leri on the Eure for not listening to advice, for abandoning and not paying attention and for being disobedient, and Ogun sang: Iku Baba Le Kutan Mamuraye Iku Mako Senda Eure Mamuraye. Kaashama Alaiboru. Kashama Alaoboya Kashama Ala Ibo Shishe. With this one, Orunmila and Oshalufon showed the World the need and worry of mothers for their children, since abandonment and the lack of concern by irresponsible mothers lead to fatal situations. Note: In this Ifa was Born the Ceremony of the Mumuraye on the Day of Ita of Atefa.

When the green Coconut runs out of water no one wants it, and when people cut the Dry Coconut and that it is no good, they throw it away. You are Sick Internally, take care. If Ifa Speak Poorly, you have to hurry because the person is in danger. Green and Dry Coconuts are worked for bathing, drinking and making spells at home. There was a Man that went to the Mountain and became very thirsty and the Ayapa instead of showing him where the river was, when asked, gave him the wrond directions. While the Man went on, he ran into Shango, and he guided him correctly. When the Man arrived at the river, he saw the Ayapa, took it and to give thanks he took it to Shango. In this Path you give an Ayapa to Shango, so you are not swayed from the right Path. Note: Since all the Ayapas are the same, it is possible that the Man thought that it was the same one and picked it up. Be careful not to be confused with another person and are killed. There was a Slave that was hated by the other slaves from the workers of Amo because of his bad ways and when he noticed that he was hated and despised by his co-workers who were also in captivity he began to hold a grudge towards them. That sly slave tried to win the trust of the Amo and for that purpose he would tell Amo all the bad things that the slaves were doing and the Amo also despised him in his heart. One day the Awo had to urgently go the Kings house and since his Overseer had gone to another Land, he left the sly Slave in charge of his staff. The Slave upon finding himself in front of the other Slaves, began to kill those who despised him with more determination. When the Amo returned and saw his staff destroyed, he asked the Slave for an explanation, and the Slave said: I killed them because they were my enemies. The Amo answered: You took revenge on them but since you persecuted me, I will kill you. And Amo killed him. Because of your spite you persecute yourself very much and you may even lose your life. Here the Sea and the Coast went to Orunmilas house, and this Ifa appeared that marked ebo for them. Only the Sea made it and that is why the garbage that is thrown on it is dragged to the Coast and left there.

This is where the Magpie went where Oduduwa was, but on the way her enemies blowed some powders based on efun an osun on her. When she saw that red mark on her, she began to look at it from the side and she got a cramp and her legs got bent. The person has defects in his legs or a child of his will be born with curved legs. If you have protection is is not well made. You owe the Necklaces or another Ceremony that was made for you. Respect your elders related by Blood and Religion. You have good luck but you are a little troubled. Someone is speaking in your ear but you do not know if it is Egun or Osha. You are confused and are losing that Grace or Power. You have had very good dreams and Yemaya says that she has given you many numbers but that it is not her fault that you forget them. You Dream about a small Black Woman of Yemaya. Give an ikoko with food, candy and other things, to the Spirit that is with you for a Luck that this Entity wants to give you and for the other Spirits give fruits, tobacco, oti for your health. You think of wanting to do something as fast as you think of not wanting to do it. Your enemies are in your own house. You are not respected and considered in your house. Your woman does what she feels like and not in goodwill. Hold your tongue and do not yell or offend so much. Skill is worth more than strength. Your spouse is mulatto, you had a white one, now all you need is a black one.

During seven days do not go on motorized vehicles or on a carriage, or ride a horse, or go up any stairs to avoid a possible accident. You have to quickly Make ebo. Ifa of the Slave and of Obas Daughter. Here Elegbara rode a horse and was blind. Do not undress in front of the Saints. He dreampt with a mulatto woman and it was Oshun. Your luck will come with a woman. Give thanks to your head, to Oshun, to your Mother or to her Spirit, if she is deceased. You are a quick learner, but dont think that you know more than the rest. There is someone who wants to put you in trouble with the law. Be careful with your enemies and with a betrayal. You are as if you were a slave. A large mishap is about to occur to you and from there you will receive a big luck. You had Godchildren before Having Saints. You cannot open your heart too much, you must be cautious in your affairs. If you are coming to See another person, be careful that it is not legal with you. If your work is changed do not worry because it is for the best. Oshe ka is jealous of those that he thinks know more than him. Ebo to Come Out well in Business: Akuko, eyale, bibijaguas.. Ebo: So that you receive Money: Two akuko, two adie, eyele, juju aikordie. Ebo: To Avoid Fractures in the Arms and Legs: Akuko, 5 eyele, 5 stakes, eku, eya.

Oshe Trupon ikabagun maya lalaya oun oyagunle ilowo tule adifafun Piti arentinlo laya tinshe arema boga awunko lebo. Ologun kante eyele, akuko lebo. Maferefun Shango, Eshu ati Orunmila. Oshe Trupon Ire Ni Ifa Igi lodafun Eshu. The Owner of this Ifa cannot See anyone without money. When this Ifa appears for a person that goes to be seen for the first time at your house with the purpose of Receiving Attributes of this Religion, do not give it to them, because Orunmila Says: That you are not the Godfather of this person. The Godfather of Oshe Trupon has to be legal and treat Oshe Trupon with consideration and Respect, because otherwise when he realizes that he is being set aside and not considered he will leave your side and will try to drag a brother of Ifa with him. This Oddun speaks of Shango and Obatala very much, which are the ones who dominate it. For Oshun you place five ei adie with oi and five days later you take them to the river, or to a swamp. (You ask). Drink Tea made of ewe Ashibata for kidney problems. You suffer from the Kidneys, Stomach and Heart. Always have food in your stomach, because when it is empty your mouth waters and if you eat then you feel sick. Be careful of Surgical Operations. The Owner of this Ifa dresses in ripped clothes when he finds himself economically strapped and goes out to the street, and so he makes ebo to remove the delay that he has. Oshe Trupon has to Charge everything he makes, because no one thanks him. Oshe Trupon likes carpentry and even though he does not dedicate himself to this art or occupation, he does manual work in wood working, he does this by intuition. Oshe Trupon should not argue, so he can analyze things and not fail. You should charge everyone that goes to you for Charity, so you never find yourself behind. Oshe Trupon cannot raise his hand to any woman and least to Oshuns daughters.

577

Oshe Trupon should not eat or drink spicy foods because of the stomach problem he suffers from and he should be careful with ingesting alcoholic beverages. Oshe Trupon should never be glad of someones misfortune. Do not curse anyone, because what you ask for will happen, and people will say that you Kill with Curses. Make Ebo so that you are not killed or you kill someone on a corner. Feed the Ibeyis (Jimaguas). Give an akuko to Elegbara. Do not be desperate, be calm about your things. Give akuko to Egun Baba tobi. (To the Spirit of the Father). Do not eat ham or carry yerba Mora. If the Mother of Oshe Trupon is Deceased, her Shadow will always be behind her son. On the corner of your house someone died some time ago, that deceased person walks on that street, put asha (tobaccos) and food in the content of the pavement of your house, so that you distance Egun Buruku (Dark Spirits). Speaks of an Egun, that in life that person had a discussion with you and he was right even though you did not believe it. Do something to that Spirit so the he leaves you alone. There is an Elder of yours who is related by Blood or Religion that seems to like you and says that he wishes for you to move up, but it is the opposite. Iku is looking for you and cannot find you, do not be afraid because you will live for many years. Do not comment on your affairs to anyone, so that you are not set back with bad thoughts. Ifa Ni Maferefun Oloddumare. Never forget about the people who gave you a hand to get back up in times of adversity. Never betray anyone so you are not lost. Do not think about Suicide so you are not set back. Place fruits from shrubs for Obatala and Oshun. (Not ground fruits like watermelon or from bindweeds like grapes, or meloncillo, etc. Be careful with your feet swelling. Do not hit children on the head. You have to Pray the leri for seven days straight and satisfy your Guardian Angel. If from now on the person does not take care of the Saints or the Eguns, he will lose money and will not have good health or peace in his life.

578

If your woman left or is leaving you, it because you are poor, when you prosper she will want to return to your side and then you should not accept her. SECRET OF THE ODDUN: The Awo Oshe Trupon will wash the feet of his wife during the night and the next day will not let her do anything in the house. That day Oshe Trupon will be his servant. That way Luck will accompany him. Here Ogun is called Oguedai and you place a Locomotora for him. Here was Born Baba Asho, who taught Men to put on clothes and also taught them Carpentry Art. For that Ifa you have to Really Look at what Eshu wants. A woman that sees this Oddun in a Reading and if she has him as a Sign of her Ikofa with even more emphasis, no one will consider her. If she does not have Ikofa, she has to Receive him so that she marries Orunmila and that way she will have stability in her marriage. When the Woman sees Oshe Trupon, send her to use a skirt with seven different colors (except black). You have not had luck with Men who have always mistreated and deceived you. To resolve the problem of marital instability you make an Idde or a necklace with beads of all the Oshas and male Irishas, that is: a section of Obatala, a section of Elegue, of Oshosi, of Shango, of Ogun, of Agayu, etc. If it is a Man that presents this problem, then by analogy, you send him to use an Idde or necklace made with beads of all the Oshas or male Roshas. Example: A section of Yemaya, of Oshun, of Oya, of Obba, of Nana Buruku, of Yewa There was a Man that dedicated himself to selling yams, corn, maloja, etc. Orunmila in the Sodde that he made for him, saw this Ifa for him and said: Be careful with heavy things that you carry, you may get lost, because with your loss there will be one more in your family. And he marked ebo for him. The man who was a skeptic did not do anything, and did not return to Orunmilas house. One day the Man was walking on a path carrying three sacs of obi, and was thinking: Its true that I cannot carry the load I have on top. Since the Path was very narrow and was slippery because of the humidity of the Night Dew from the night before, the Man slipped and fell off the cliff that was next to the path and killed himself.

579

When the Mans Wife found out what happened to her husband, she died suddenly from the impression she got from the news. Osobo Iku Koton Iku: The person dies of the fright she has upon seeing another person die, or of the Impression she receives when finding out of the Death of a person she knows or of someone she loves or values. Ebo: Akuko, 5 Eyele, 10 Obi, oi, efun, epo, ori After the ebo gather five obi and smear them with oi that are going to the river, and five are smeared in epo and go to the swamp. During the night you Obori with what was marked by Orunmila. The person loses himself for being disobedient. The person cannot handle the Load he has on top of him. The person is a joker. Do not become happy over anyones misfortune, because yours is not far behind. You should not live with a child of Oshun, because there will always be discussions between the spouses. Oshe Trupon Talake Niyobiti dara Yeye ni Ogu ni gbogbo Ibu omo Orisha la ewe. Ebo: Akuko fifeshu, adie meyi apreri, asho ara, ewe gbure, ewe dara, ewe yan, omi ibu losa, opolopo oi, opolopo owo. After the ebo give the akuko to Eshu and the yellow adie meyi to Oshun and with the ewe gbure you make oshinshin to put it on Oshun. The other ewe are used for ebomisi. The person has to take care of himself from an embarrassment during Sex. If it is a Man, it could be because of mental problems at that moment his penis softens and he suffers an embarrassment. If a Woman, it could be that during intercourse she gets her Menstrual Cycle. Ebo: Abo, akuko meyi, ayapa okan, oguede mefa, a fibre of oguede, a spear, a basket, omi ibu losa, a lit tizon, atitan ile, inle erita merin, eku, eya, epo.. After the ebo is finished give abo, ayapa and akuko meyi to Shango, the adie to Oshun. Give thanks to Shango for having protected you from many wars. Do not choose other peoples wars for yourself, because if you manage to defeat them that way, you will find yourself alone in that fight.

Oshe Tura Alaguema omi towe irele loshawo ile yebyu. Oshe Tura Oyiyi Orun owo ekan emu wakamale obon oban tete, eya tutu omo Oluwo leri lodafun Baba Agboniregun ibo eru ni Orunmila oyo otuni owo ori ako aikordie lebo aberemokan lorubo. Eyele lebo, osi mio mio. Oshe Tura Ina Faraye iroko ina faraye ikoko iroko soban. Inafaraye yeye yere oli laya adifafun Oshe Tura Ina faraye akukolebo. (The candle is strong but did not finish). Oshe Tura lodafun Unbatinlo leaya benifo tete ni nisho inbaoyini afere wewe. Ayaba dide afere wewe. Oshe Tura emi unsoro atie Ashe Oloddumare ebo omo Ire Odara. With his Birth as son of Oshe-Tura he restores the harmony between Oshuna dn the sixteen Agba Odun, saving the Land of caos. Oshe Tura was born from the womb of Oshun Olari Iya Ni Aye (Oshun, Leader of the Ancient Mothers), who possess Magical Powers, the Femenine Element and the Ashe of the Agba Odun, the sixteen Orishas Irumale, the Male Element. Oshe Tura is the result of that interaction, repeating the Pattern of the Early Myths regarding the Birth of Eshu. In all of those Eshu represents the Procreated Element, the Third Principle Igba Keta of the System. In this sense the number three (3) is associated, and constitutes the basic principle of te Mistery of the Ogboni Society. Oshe Tura is the Messenger for all the Signs, he is calle the ebo Ada, or the one who makes efficient ebo. Oshe-Tura is the Mouth that Speaks, both good and evil things. He likes all the colors and all the herbs suit him. The Words or Sentences of Oshe-Tura are always fulfilled. Oddun has much spiritual and material riches. Speaks of Iroko, Ibeyis, Oduduwa, Olofin, Elegbara, Nana-Buruku, Oshun, Shango, Obatala Azonwanu. The Mother or Woman of Oshe Tura will put him in danger of death. He is the one Responsible for taking the Offerings: Ojishe-Ebo-Fun-Eshu. This Oddun is the direct Representative of Eshu to whom he delegates part of his functions before Oloddumare.

581

Oshe-Tura clearly expresses one of the most important symbolic aspects of Eshu; Eshu Elegbara, as owner and controller of ebo, the Ritual Offering. Speaks: Mouth Ulcerations, Cold Sores, Pharyngeal and Laryngeal Diseases. For Osobo, you immediately send the person to Travel to distort his enemies. You are blamed for burglaries. Do not hang around burglars. You are blamed for what you are not. The World is in conflict with you, because of your pride. Pretend that you do not wish to have what you eager for so that you may achieve it. Adami Orisha is Born, which is the son of Oduduwa and Father of Inlte Abata. Which is danced with a Mask and a costume. You cannot eat akuko or corn and respect all the foods of Azonwanu. This is where Oshe Tura, during the War, would give Advice to the two Adversaries so that they would defend themselves. It was the War between Woman and Life. The Art of Killing and Saving Oneself was Created. The World was divided into two Poles: Life and Death. Here they wanted to Kill Olofin and Orunmila made ebo for him with: A doll, a needle, ou fun fun and du dun, akuko ounko, obi kola eku, eya This is where Oduduwa Gave life to Spirits for all the Beings Created by Obatala, on Earth. It is where the Spiritual Shape comes Down to the Sperm of Man. It is the Vital Spirit that you Receive with the Blow of Life, and that is lost with Death. Adarube Iye Ponla meta Oshe Tura mi Baba Olowo alakueti alakuenta. The people are waging war against you, they can attribute to a burglary. You want marriage, and thought about it suddenly, and it will be just as you want it or thought of it. Embark right away, because there is a large fight against you, because of your pride and they brand you for everything that you are not. You have to carry out somenting that you already know. Feed the Well of akuko or adie for an Egun, so that he may give that person Luck that he has for him (her). Give many Masses to your Family and Protective Spirits. If your Iyare is Alive, for her to make the sign of the cross on you, if she is deceased you have to make Masses for her. Do not make castles in the air so they do not get ruined.

582

Your Woman (spouse) is not your slave. Make Saint to your Woman so that she has good health and helps you prosper. When Speaking of Prison, you tie the ebo with a rope, and you ask where to take it, if to Onareo (path), erita merin (four corners), or he iroko (at the foot of a shrub of iroko). When there are Delays Signalled in this Ifa, you Ask Yalorde if he wants etu or adie, and you gather two eleguede, five ei adie and oi. Then sacrifice the animals and on their heads you put oi through the beak and you close them again. Salcocha the five ei adie and cut them in halfs, add salt and oi on top and place in front of Oshun, ask him for the time to stay: 5, 10, 15 or 25 days. When this Spell is made for an Aleyo (client), ask if at the end of his time he will bring it to his house, of they stay in the house of Awo. When this Ifa Signal Tragedies, you make an Inshe with an akuko, eku, eya epo, one eya-oro, one malanga leaf, one eko. After having passed the eko and other things over the body of the interested person, give the akuko to Eshu: the leri in the inshe. With the ara of the akuko, you make Apayeru and you bring Enigbo wrapped in three large malanga leaves. When Awo sees this Ifa in his house, he throws oi on Elegbara and on Oshun. Do not eat malanga, because when they were looking for Oshun to kill her, she saved herself by hiding between the large leaves of a field that was planted with malangas, and they could not find her. You make an Inshe in an ikoko with leri of etu, a siju, two zunzuns, leri and okokan of alakaso, 18 snails, one akofa, 6 juju aikordie, sulphur, one odu-ara, leri ayapa, of adan, of aparo, or eyele, igi: Moruro, dagame, jiqui, cocuyo, donshayo, ewe ayo, ewe ina, pica pica, eru, obi kola. Eat two aparo, two Indian akuko, two eyele carmelitas, one osiadie shashara. For this Ifa at the beginning of the World Obatala was old and had to walk throughout the World that Olofin had given to him, and since he had grey hair, the young men would make fun of him: Obatala stopped and the young men threw an ota at him. Obatala cursed them by saying: You will all get sick and die. When the Oshas were made aware of the Curse that Obatala had set against the Young Men, they went to ask for his forgiveness, he answered Bring me a dog and a Rooster to fight against each other, if the Dog knocks down the Rooster, the World will end, but if the Rooster knocks down the Dog, the World will continue. During the fight the Rooster knocked down the Dog and everything continued to be calm.

583

Marks the Lack of Respect and Consideration of Children toward their Parents. This Ifa Serves to Raise and Curse. The ebo with akuko and aya is made when it is to fight. When it is to raise it only has akuko. Signals that the father of the person will soon die. If he is already deceased give him and akuko in a needle. Do not live at your fathers side. Oshe-Tura was going to War and Orunmila said to him: Be very careful, so that the government does not seize you and you do not get tangled with words with the government:. To avoid this make ebo with akuko fifeshu, eku, eya, epo You have to travel by passing the Sea so you may find friends and not enemies. You have to Oruno with 201 needles, four sticks of ewa (chain) kikiniba (?), akuko, eyele, eku eya. IFA SAYS: That you are going to have everything in the World, because Orunmila will move you up. You will make a trip to a spot or place where you will find much good luck and fortune and the people will love you very much. You cry because you want children and money, you will achieve it all if you make ebo. People from the Other World will open the Path for you, so you may have all that you desire. Orunmila says that the Awo that divided this Oddun Ifa has to have two children, the first is called Ifa Bua Buemi and the second Ifa Unyemi. When this Ifa goes out at Awos house, he has to have present that he cannot miss making ebo with: Akuko, aparo, atare, mesan, oi, eku, eya, epo If you do not make ebo, give Oshun two aparo, burn them and reduce them to iye and throw oi on it and then place for Oshun while praying for the health of the woman. Take care of that Woman so she may give you children. This Ifa is where the Door with Ota is Touched. Here Shango kills the arayes of the Awo, for this quickly give an akuko to Shango. For the Familiar Eguns you place and igba of obi. It prohibits smoking tobacco and cigarettes, because they produce Cancer in the Mouth or in the Throat. This is Created in this Ifa. Oshe-Tura into into duo otufo Oyugbona Kan insheru kuku inata etu boya ibenekun.

584

Let the nails from your left hand grow out. Put something that shines in your house. The Son abandons the Father. You put sixteen ota fun fun in front of Orunmila. If it is Ita of Oduduwa, you place them in front of this Orisha. Give an akuko to the Egun of the father, with the ara you make yellow rice and bring to the foot of a malanga shrub. You have to have a malanga shrub in your yard for this Ceremony. If you father is living, give to your fathers Spiritual Guide. Oshe Tura to Mount your Osain has to look for insects between the malanga shrub, mainly worms. The Ikofa of this Oddun is placed over a small tablero. For Elegbara you place a corn cob that has the wrapping purple, and while you toast it you pray. Make Omiero and wash a small mirror that you put on Elegbara, you Feed him and then the person looks at himself in the same place. On the foot of Shango you put Slippery Burr, flower of cuaba, of jaguey, ee shewerekuekue and give him a yellow or Carmelita eyele. Obatala would throw his children from the Sky, and that is how he was killing them, Orunmila tied them by the waist for him and came Down to Earth with the, saving them. For Orunmila you plae sixteen ota kike fun fun in front of him. Tanto Olowo Tife too lo bona adifafun Abere kuku tinlofe oto loyu Eyigbomeko. To Neutralize the Arayes: Open a joro joro, throw int an eleguede and cover with asho of nine colors and a needle in each asho. Give an akuko to Elegbara in the joro joro, you place nine rods of mariwo, cover it with ewe koko and on top you throw the ebo calling the arayes. In this Ifa so that good comes, you pray four times Oshe-Tura in iyefa with different prayers of this Ifa and during three days you blow in shilikun ile inwards asking something among all the good. The Awo of this Ifa, when a ray falls it gets and akuko, epo, atare, ewe enati kekere (chicken leg) atiponla, ewe tomode ewe tete nifa, kuye kuye, ewe odun, papasimi, and all the herbs of Shango that you can gather, ewe okikan, logbotuye, that you crush in a pilon,

585

and after five minutes, you throw everything in the hole of the ray and you cover it with an igba. When you go to poke to take out the Ota (The Odu-Ara), choose a plier and throw it in the omiero. The one that gets the Odu-Ara has to wash his hands with an akuko that was bought by a child of Shango, then wash yourself with an itana and light it for Shango. Spell against the Arayes. Chose an Odu-Ara and put it in cooking oil on a Tuesday while calling the arayes and take out on Friday while naming the arayes, wash it well with dry wine (oti cana), to put it on Osain. Salcocha two ei adie and cut them along the length and then place for Odu-Ara and on Saturday you remove them, and you eat one half and the remaining three you throw on the four corners that are closest to the house. The oil where Odu-Ara was, you put it sour orange juice, iyo, fast tint and almagre. Ask if Otan if not Otan, add what is needed up to Otan. Throw on the arayes on their doors. For Good Luck: Get a Crab and the Virgin it has shaped on its shell, you finish drawing the head and the face with efun and oti. You wrap the Crab in thick paper and you put in 25 atare, eku, eya, epo, ori, efun, agbado, eko, and you pray it on the Tablero praying what you wish. You throw it in from this ifa praying and you take it and put in your cave. For Defense: Make ebo with two Tableros. On one you make the ebo, on the other you mark all of the Signs except Oshe tura. This tablero without Oshe Tura appears before Olofin and Olorun. This is when the Sixteen Kings (The Meyis Ifa), did not want to consider Oshe Tura. Olofin summoned all the Meyis at his house, and they did not want to accept the decision of Olofin that they would always have to count on Oshe Tura for everything, because he was the Owner of Ashe. Seeing Shango from the Sky, arrogance and lack of respect of the Meyis Ifa towards Olofin, he threw a ray onto the Earth that Marked Oshe-Tura on the highest part of the tablero and to the right of it and burnt the house where they were meeting. Upon seeing this, Olofin, Sentenced: From now on, all of Orunmilas Awo will have to write Oshe-Tura on the right and highest part of the Tablero, each time they are to make Ebo. To Iban Eshu. That is why Oshe-Tura has to be Written on the Right and Highest part of the Tablero each time Ebo is to be made, whether this is for Oddun Omolu or Oddun Meyi, since even in this last case the Position of the Meyis change on the Tablero, the Oddun OsheTura never changes position because of Olofins Sentence.

586

Note: About the Spell of the two Tableros. After the Ebo you ask where to put the Tablero that was presented to Olofin. Here Shango also governs. To defeat and Reach the Power Over the other Awos. Prepare Boshiye, the Son of Oshe Tura. Prepare seventeen small keke mats, sixtenn go with iyefa and seventeen ewe Ifa that you ask which ones they are. The last mat goes like the others but hung from an Ofa that closes the load of the leri of Boshiye. Boshiye is a doll of sabicu drilled by the leri and loaded with obi kila, osun, arida, anun, obi motiwao, leri of malu of owunko, of akuko, of egun mokekere and seventeen ewe Ifa from the small mats.

Wash the interested person with the ewe of the Oparaldo and then kill the owunko behind its back, the eyebale should run from its back over the ikoko of the Operaldo. Then kill the osiadie. Finish the ceremony like a current Oparaldo. Ebo: Two stolen eyeles, ceiba leaves, 7 needles, 12 ota. Ebo: Akuko, one pitcher, one needle and oo (corals). The akuko is given to the Egun of the father over the needle sticking out from the floor. Ebo: 9 adie, 9 okete (babosas), $ 9.00. Ebo: Akuko, obuniye (which is the clothes that the interested person has in his house and doesnt need anymore). Make ebo with these clothes and then you throw them out so that Luck will come and so collect the Grace that Orunmila will grant. Ebo: For awo:

587

Three juju alakaso, one fun fun apron, three ekute keke, three snails, iron shavings from a blacksmiths shop, three io ( corals), omi tutu, one small jar. Place in front of Orunmila and say: Alakaso is never hungry and only eats what God gives him and he is on earth as quickly as he is in the Heavens. What dies, what people throw out and what Iku kills is what you eat. Ire Lobua on earth. Ire Lobua in the heavens Ire Lobua anywhere you are. This is used when Awo has to travel Abroad, along with the Chain with 201 needles that are put on Orunmila. Ebo: Akuko, coral, water, ou fun fun and dun dun, on small tablero. After the Ebo you thread the ou (thread) fun fun and dun dun through the needle, pass the coral, place on the small tablero and you give it the akuko at the head of the bed calling the Egun. Chalk with the same ou fun fun and dun dun and give it to the interested person, so it is not picked up by Onilu (police), or his arayes. Ebo: Akuko, ewe koko leaves, etu, an orange, an obe, an ada, gbogbo tenunyen, gbogbo ashe. Give the Akuko to Egun Baba tobi, make yellow rice with the akuko and place at the foot of a malanga shrub.

When Awo sees this Ifa he puts in his pockets two pieces of obi, throwing one on the street when he goes out and the other when he returns. Here was Born the Secret of the Dilogun of Obi. In this Ifa the Secret of why the Letra Etawa is Pulled Again is Born. Because the Etawa letter is the vanity of the Coconut, that one says yes and not to what is being asked, and to know if he says yes, you have to Pull it again, so that it confirms it with the Etawa letter, or with Eyeife or Alafia. In this Ifa the Secret was also Born of why the Awo has to Pray Oshe Bile before Throwing the Coconuts each time that it gives Obi Omi Tutu to Orunmila, Gbogbo Osha or to Gbogbo Orisha, and when it deals with Egun the Oshe Bile of Egun has to be prayed. The Awo must be careful of finishing well with the person who gets this Ifa, so her Guardian Angel does not overcharge his sons deceit. Oshe Bile dies Drowning or of Asphyxiation. Take care of your Lungs, Heart and Blood. One can inherit their parents riches but also their iniquities and their diseases. Since it is an Ifa of Inheritance in General. Deals with Hereditary Diseases. Here it Speaks of the Wheelchair. The Person may end up crippled, or may have been crippled for some time. The person is no one by herself, she needs others to guide her.

589

Regarding Inheritance, Ifa Says that you may inherit properties, money, intelligence, but also bad habits of parents or of the people that raised you, because you may have been raise in another household.

When this Ifa comes out for an Awo, he has to chew eleven atare with oti and spray on elegbara, before you put chili on top and in front, then you give him an akuko, so that elegbara vomits all the fortunes he has in his stomach. Then to ruin it you put one igba of eko and ai, messing up the eko. To avoid tragedy: Ebo: Eya Tutu, one obe, one okatampo, one abiti, asho ara, osiadie, eku, eya, epo, obi, itana, opolopo owo. So you are not defeated: Ebo: Eya Tutu, 4 obi, eku, eya. From the Eya tutu the leri to Ogun, which you cut in only one cut, the tail and ask. The Leri is smeared with iyeaf from the ebo, two Obi for Baba and two for Orunmila and part of the paja unbebolo, you save the rest to drink it after cooking it when the ebo turns out and during seven days you do not cut obi in the house, or eat any kind of head, gofio, akara or anything that has oi. Behind the door you put a bottle filled with sea water and flowers. If the father of the interested person is deceased, you give him an abo. When Awo sees this Ifa, you wet your sight. When this Oddun is prayed in an ebo, you have to throw drops of omi on the ebo. The Awo that is the owner of this Ifa has to Give Obi Omi Tutu to his Angel. Then cut the obi into pieces, with a number that is the same as the people present in your house, throw eku on them and eya, agbado, eko, kori, oi and feed them with a gulp of Omiedo so they all have Ashe. To resolve problems give an eyele dun dun to Ogun. The Egue of this Ifa is that of Zarza. Make a ceremony with two leri from stone basses, one picha from a turtle and make soup for Aasile Kosile to drink. Here you give Orunmila a piece of chain inside the soup pot, because in this Ifa Orunmila went up to the sky using a chaing in search of good luck and Olofin gave it to him. Inshe to prosper: Place Elegbara and Ogun together, put an eya tu tu and with an obe you cut the awo in two halves leaving an uncut piece so that the interested person finishes cutting it with the obe. Separate the leri and kola with the obe by dividing it into two part. Give them the Osiadie with your left hand throwing eyebale on Elegbara, on Ogun and on both pieces of the eya tu tu. Write the name of the interested person seven time to the right and backwards. It goes to a place that was predetermined by Orunmila.

You have to give an Owunko heke to Elegbara and distribute it among three swamps. You cannot use bracelets or necklaces because you may strangle yourself while sleeping. In an old pile of wharf you carve a doll and load it and consecrate like elegbara praying a lot to Osain. Get a towel and soak it in alcohol and rub over your face, to defeat your enemies. Put matting or carpeting in front of your bed, so when you get up you do not touch the floor with bear feet. In this Ifa they did not consider Shango. There is controversy between the Dead and the Saint. The Awo of this sign cannot have animals in his house that are thrown out. The Aleyo that sees this Ifa, should not make Osha, because he has to have Ifa made urgently because he has to be operated. You give Obatala the food and for Ogun you place eku, eya, epo agbado, obi, etc. A very large epidemic is coming, make ebo and wash yourself with canutillo.

You cannot break your Promises. Winnings and losses in business must be divided among equal parts. Born is the Financial Seriousness at lifes expense. Alukin Ifa was born, that is, managing the Inkinis to obtain the Oddun of Ifa. Indicates the Descent of Olofin onto Earth. Do not blow candles out, because you take away a life. He killed Olofins wife. Born was when fruits and seeds that fall around the shrub sprout. It is where Funeral Promises are mad and Heaven is the one who judges and gives Penalties to those who break it. Determines that the sick person will not die, but one that was not going to die was not expected to die. Oragun, out of hate, ended up throwing witchcraft on his own family. Marks: Phenomena, Powders, Witchcraft, Death, Curse, Riches. Words, Voices. Eggs that break. A tumultuous Oddun and with a deep Sense of danger, since it represents Life and Death.

They cannot ingest alcoholic beverages of any type, because this would be a great loss. They suffer from liver and heart problems, as well as shortness of breath. They want to do everything their way, for which they find big problems. They are not sensitive and live their lives materially, since everything is the same to them. Their foundation is based on the fact that they draw a line to follow and do not veer from it easily. They do not cry when faced with adversity or regret anything, since they accept them as a natural life circumstance. They treat other people excellently; they do not like deception, but they do cheat and like to gossip a little, but when they speak seriously, they are credible and trustworthy people. They are good Spiritualists and know everything, since they speak with the Dead at night or they speak to them and provide them with what they want to know or see. Death is always at their feet, since it is their inseparable friend. They prefer the Dead because they do not trust the Living. They do not trust anyone because they do not find sincerity in people, which is why they live far away from everyone and, that is why they do not have happiness. To obtain their friendship you have to be completely truthful with them, because they have the gift of reading the minds of those who deal with them before they speak to them.

597

They like solitude and peace and, because of secret causes of their Inner Self, they aspire to and try to live a mystical life that is different to those of other people. They are unsatisfied, willing, like to rule others and they get annoyed when they do not succeed in doing so. IFA SAYS: That you are fighting with your Guardian Angel. There is someone sick in your house, be careful that he does not die before his time. Feed your Leri. You have many enemies. Give an owunko keke to Elewa so that you can develop. You will have fame and fortune if you take care of your Saint. Be careful with avarice or you may lose yourself. Be careful with doing bad things, because your Angel will forgive the first one, but not the second one. Dress in white. Do not let strangers sleep in your house. You cannot sleep in the nude because there are Beings from the Other World that are living with you. Be careful of experiencing difficulties. Like if you were fleeing or if you were in jail. Be careful in seven days with stumbling on the street. Do not jump over holes and cover your bottles and tanks in your house. Do not ingest alcoholic beverages or rub alcohol on your body. If you have Saints, you cannot have them locked up. Give thanks to Obatala and Yewa. If you have someone staying at your house do something so that they will leave, but make sure he leaves happy so he does not curse you. What is cheap will cost you. If you go to the country you may get sick. Baptize whomever you need to baptize. You cannot wear black or colored clothing. There are nights when you do not sleep well, because there is someone doing bad things to you and even lights candles backwards for you. Cleanse yourself with an eyele and let it go in the hillock. You have to stroke your leri with a red snapper. Receive Elewa and if you have it, move it from one place to another. Someone has put a curse on you. Put a necklace of Obatala on the sick person and make ebo for him. Take care of embolisms and bleeding through the mouth.

Do not leave your key in the key hole of your display cabinet or trunk so that you are not robbed or thrown evil things inside them. Make three lines with ori behind your door. Sleep with a bottle of omi next to the head of your bed. Do not dress in black, since you cannot dress for mourning. When you were young others would make fun of you but when you are old you will be powerful and respected. Everyone serves you and fears you because of your secret about knowledge. There is a boy who has beautiful eyes and people look at him a lot, be careful that he does not die. You are capricious. There is a Light or invisible radiation that is harming you, like Alpine Light, X Rays, etc. You have to be careful with the radiation from those types of research. Do not let the candles in your house to run out completely or blow them out with your mouth. During sixteen days light two candles for Obatala for a little while each day and then take all that candle to a swamp.

598

Born here is when only in Ita and in Iyoye you take a washbasin to the table for the Apetebi. After all the Awos wash their hands in the washbasin, she takes the washbasin before Oba and he will pray and she will drink some of that water with which she will win ten years of life with good health. The money that the Apetebi wins in this Ceremony can only be spent by the Saint. Buy him flowers, fruits, some decorations, etc. Speaks of an Ikoko with an abandoned prenda. Born here was the Secret that the Babalawo cannot keep the money that he wins in Ifa, because he will be set back and he cannot leave that money to his children as inheritance. Here you give Abo (Abo) to the Guiding Protective Egun and then you give a bath of Egun to the interested person. To the Godchild of Iku, she brought him in front of a shrub of Iroko. Shango is the owner of the Earth and dresses in corn straw. Obatala became tired of riding a horse bare-back and left the World and only left the door to the Cemetery open. In an Osodde because of Sickness, if this Oddun of Toyale appears, it announces a long sickness but with a cure. Now if it appears in the final testament, the death of that person is certain and inevitable. When you see Oragun of Toyale in an Osodde and behind him is your Sign of Ifa, do not do anything to that person and especially do not make him Ifa because Orunmila is warning you that this person will be your destruction. When you see this Oddun in Awos house give the Okpele to a maiden so she can take it to the door and she places it there on the floor behind shilikun and from there she drags it along the floor until where Awo is located and she hands it to him. If there is no maiden, the Awo will take a mouthful of water and hold it in his mouth, put the Okpele in his hands as if it were imploring to the Heavens and blow the water out of his mouth so that it falls on his face and over the Okpele and next he substitutes it for another one. The Obini that has this Ifa appear, so that she does not have problems with the law, you make ebo for her with three white handkerchiefs with shiribata (spikes of millo) and for seven days you will place these handkerchiefs in her leri. Light two itana for Olofin. Make omiero of ewe tete, ewe ayo (curse remover), coconut juice, goats or cows milk, ori and efun. Once the Omiero is prepared, clean the interested person with two eyele fun fun and with the same ones you will give eyebale to all his ara and next you will wash him with the omiero. Pick up everything and place it in a white cloth and bring it to the river.

599

For this Ifa you give an akuko to Elewa, two eyele to Ogun and two adie to Oshun which you cook and bring to the river. SPELL FOR DEVELOPMENT: A raw ishu, wash with it, clean the Apetebi and place it where there are ashes. This is an Ifa of Oma. Ire Boni Boye Ori: Once is coming for Awo on the road. Everything else depends on you. When Awo sees this Ifa he gets an iba and spoils an eko with ewe tete and odundun, ori and before and after the Prayer puts the Okpele inside the iba and everyone present or come from the street drinks from it. When this Oddun appears in an Atefa, you have to wash two additional Hands of Inkinis for the Awo, the Godfather, for the Oybona and for the trustworthy Awos and give an adie to each Hand. When you see this Oddun you make ebo with ewe aragba (ceiba) from the East and West and eyele meta (one fun fun, one dun dun and one Carmelita). Give the fun fun to Elewa, the dun dun to Ogun and the Carmelita to Oshosi. Here death had a palo named Epin (Large Laurel). Acun had a palo named Ita, but the adie shit on it and Incan Burucucu had a palo called Maru Maru, which is the rough palo. You have to visit the Catholic Churches that have ancient images and beg them, because this Ifa speaks of all the ancestral beings that are now illuminated beings. Born here was greediness for fame and fortune. To make a pact with Iku: Carve a carob agboran with a flower nut and put in sixteen cents. Shavings from all the metals. Clean the Awo with osiadie meyi, give one to the doll and put it in the asho fun fun and send it to be buried in the cemetery. With the other osiadie you make Oparaldo. The Agboran lives with the Awos Egun in his house. TO IMPROVE HEALTH Get some sea water, red mangrove, the bone from the phalanx of the index finger of a dead of Iye. Throw that Iye in a clay ikoko and put it next to Osain and give it an akuko fun fun, adding eyebale to the ikoko and to Osain. Ask the number of days that you leave it next to Osain and then bathe with it. When this Oddun appears in an atefa, on the day of Iyoye you beat a lot of ila and spray it inside the igbodun and put an ewa (chain) at the entrance of the igbodun so that the Awo slips and falls. The cujes will be made of Alamo and you have to hit it hard. This is so the godfather does not turn up.

600

When you see this Ifa, you tell the person that he has a tumor forming and Obatala says that Oshun is the one with the power to dissolve it. For that you catch an eleguede, open five little holes through the upper part in circles and you load each one with: the persons name, hairs from his body, sweaty clothes, eku, eya, eko, awado, eru, obi kola, ori, oi. In each orifice you insert a spike from a guin de castilla. Then you dress it with yellow asho and place it in front of Oshun while lighting two itana on the days indicated. TO PREVENT CANCER Prepare a mixture with white wine, red mangrove, ball of moinga, samphire, iyefa. Drink a cup without eating breakfast for many days. FOR WHEN YOU SEE THIS IFA IN A DROP OF ORUNMILA: Add all the iyefa from the tablero in an igba with omi tutu and say: Oragun adele nifa mori mowe. Prepare an igba with ori and efun in iye, osun and give it an eyele. Pray the Oddun Oragun and then with this prepared you paint three stripes behind shilikun of ile of the Awo. Then you give the interested person a little bit in a pomito so when he arrives at his house he paints three stripes behind his door. The Awo, son of this Ifa can only get a reading as Okpele made with skin from dry coconuts. The Awo, son of this Ifa can only get a reading with Okpele made with skin from dry coconuts. When they are to be Consecrated or fed they have to be washed prior to that with omiero of ewe dun dun, ewe tete nifa, akuelekue (guacalote leaves), paint Oragun on the tablero and pray: Akuele le Baba Ofun oni lokun. Barabaniregun. Leleri Okpele. Kosi lele Bab Leleri Okpele. Awe ude Okpele Orunmila. Orunmila Eleripin eti faw Orunmila aberuye Olofin Okpele oni shawo gbogbo Osha Ibe gbogbo Ar Onu tinbelorun Osha Bire Oy baw iki baye oni oku Baba koyeyeo jekua ibi Orunmila fiedenu. You then take two eyele (one fun fun and one dun dun) and pray with them over the Okpele. Then while sacrificing them you sing: Eye eye biye Olofin Okpele bini Shango mafun. Eye eye unyeo Oragun Okpele bini Shango. Add ori and efun, blow oti on it and cover with the juju of the eyele and light itana meyi.

601

On the next day pick up everything and wash the Okpele again with the same omiero. Pick up the ara of the eyele, the juju, the ashes, the candle and bury it. When this Ifa appears for this person in a Sodde do not give eyebale to the leri. On the floor you paint the following Atena Ifa: 11 10 11 11 11 00 00 11 00 11 11 00 00 00 00 00 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 01

Close the Atena with a circle of efun and over the Oddun Oragun you place a chair and feed the eyele over the Oddun Oragun under the chair. You will have an omiero prepared with guacalote leaves, shewerekuekue, odundun, yerba de la nia, blood-berry, ou, white lily, we tete nifa and some dirt. Take a little bit from all the ewe of the omiero, a water obi, iye from a leri of eya oro (guabina) and that is what goes to the persons leri. Then with everything that is in the circle and the rest of the herbs, leri and juju of eyele you make the ebo that will go to the river along with the ara of the eyele. You can separate some of that omiero for ebo misi, which you strain and give it an eyele while singing: Omo nere sheke Ire ila Obatala. Om Ire lara Obatala monire lara Obatala eyele sheke monire Obatala. When you perpare this bath with the leri from the eyele and what is indicated by Ifa, you can make Apayeru. OSAIN OF ODUDUWA: Mounted on a sealed clay ikoko and with holes in the middle of the cover, through there you Load it and then you hang it. Load: Seven different igi gathered from the mountain. The first one is Tengue and the last one guam from the edge of the river. (Ask what the other ones will be), place them facing up when placing them, Inle from seven cemeteries from the country (the last one is where the interested person stays), 7 oju from olgbo dundun, a stick you got from the Sea, eat seven little animals making sure there is zunzun and adie. SPELL TO ELIMINATE THE ARAYES: Light two itana for Egun and six for Shango. Undress the back of the interested person and stand him with his back to Elewa and around both of them you put eight lighted

602

itanas, and one iba with sarao of eko. Give an awunko to Elewa with his akuko. Give Obi Omi Tutu and the interested person offers sarao of eko to all those that are present. Skin the Owunko and chop it in four pieces right there and sing with the meat while touching the persons back with them. Take everything to the mountain. Then you throw the sticky herb on the door and the next day you wash it off. TO SAVE THE AWO OF ARUN: Orugbo with: Igi meta (aguedita, jaguey and velvet seed). When you make ebo with this Oddun, the officiating Awo will put on an Ide from Obatala. Get an iba and ruin an eko with omi and ewe tete, odundun and before and after the prayer you wash the Okpele and all those presents will drink it as well as those that arrive while the ebo is being made. When you see this Ifa you prepare sarao of eko with flax from a river, put some on Elewa and Obatala and spray the rest in the house. Spray the house with omi tutu, iyefa, ewe dun dun and iye of eya oro and also to Ifa. To the Iyefa of this Ifa cannot lack eya oro or orogbo. This Ifa speaks of the Kingdom of Abiku. Make a wake with a doll inside a little box and a mat and put twelve candelabra made of sweet oranges, asho pupua dun dun, fun fun, agbado, eku, eya, oti pupua, oti fun fun, ginger, beer, cheese, sweet cookies, chocolate, coffee. After the Wake pick everything up and take it to the Ile Iku, paying $1.05 to whomever brings it to the cemetery or where Orunmila indicates. Before make omiero with iye of Orunmila so that every present wash their hands, face, arms and the back of their knees as well as the person that brought it to the cemetery, when he returns. Ask Orunmila if you throw out the Owunko keke alive or keep it so you can raise it. ORAGUN, CHANGE OF MIND: Prepare efun in an iba with oti and dissolve it well with a paint-brush so that you do not touch it with your fingers and paint the person that is completely nude and you throw it out as you pray the appropriate Oddun from the ebo. Make the ebo strong, loading it with everything. WORKING ORAGUN FROM THE FRONT. Ingredients of the ebo: Akuko, eyele, etu em aboreo but you cannot ruin it, not even one drop of eyebale. Then you have to stay all night without sleeping next to the interested person. Two adie, one akuko, but before you ask Orunmila if he allows you to do the Spell.

In the beginning of the World, after Olofin divided to every person what they owned; Iku, even after having received the Power of arranging the life of all living beings, wanted to have something that would identify him from the rest of the Saints, both in his way of eating as in his writing and his way of dressing. When Iku was in Olofins house and while all the Saints were there and among them Orunmila who was eating adie next to Iku, without noticing he sprayed with the eyebale of the adie and the clothes of Iku, which was grey, it turned black on the parts that were sprayed by the eyebale of the adie and Iku became annoyed by the incident. When Olofin saw him upset, he said to him: Iku, since you wanted to change your way of eating, dressing and writing, from now on you will dress in black, your writing will also be in black but you will always have to insert it with efun, because it is my habit and therefore to know that every time you eat or are called, it will be because I or Olofin authorize you, and that way you will not be able to refuse any favor that is asked of you. To Iban Esho. That is why in every Ceremony of Egun a black and white cloth is used and when you are to feed Egun, you streak the ikoko with coal and efun and why you make a line of

Ofun Nalbe ayere yireo ayeri gui ofa pereguiki Oba. Oshun lodafun Ofun Odafo Oba Nuba Ogbe Donlara Ofun aikordie meta elebo. Ebeyo owo elebo. You have to touch your belly and blow outward. This is where they threw out Azonwanu from Lokumi Land (Yoruba) from the kingdom of Ulkuman. The Secretions (fluids) of living bodies were created, like saliva, gastric juice, semen, etc., of which Semen is the King. Espermatogenosis was created. Ofun Nalbe is in danger of dieing violently, burned, dragged through the river or through the Ocean Waves, thrown into emptiness, etc. The Ashe Ori was created. (of Eri). Ifa of firmness toward evil. Here began that Obatala carries eight ota, where Obatala is always over the heads of everyone to save them. The Bad Odor of Obo was created; that Menstruation comes with a bad odor. Here Obatala cursed Ofun Nalbe because he stole the eure dun dun from him and said: You will always be sick to your stomach and you will never be able to eat eure fun fun, since that is what I will eat from now on. You have to receive Obe as soon as possible. Do not maltreat anyone. You are fighting with a brother related to you by blood or religion because of women with doubtful morals. In this Ifa the woman takes revenge on her husband for ill-treating and abandoning her and her children. Then people unjustly accuse the woman of being fickle. You have to take baths with white flowers that come to your attention when picking or buying them. You have to be careful with Spirits, because they will need you to make Spells. Ifa of careful with abortions and even more if the pregnancy is of jimaguas because it may be in danger, in general they are fatal.

608

Ofun Nalbe cannot drink milk because it harms him. Ewe of the Oddun: Peregun, atiponla, baiyeku and cipres. In this Ifa Luck is given by Saint Lazaro. Place an ikoko with epo and a piece of leri of malu. This Ifa determines that the person was not born for Awo of Orunmila, since he will never be anyone in Ifa, since he was Born to be great in the Land of Osha. Here Oya decided to have Ifa made for his omo and on the day of the Iyoye, because of the hits he received, Oyas son otoku himself and the spell of Orunmila did not hit the ground. You make an ajiaco with everything your mouth eats and you grind it. Have three malaguidi made for you: One of moruro, one of algarrobo and one of marpacifico and you load them with that paste, eru, obi kola, obi motiwao. Wash them with omiero and they eat eyele meta dun dun. This is for stomach problems. PREPARE AROHI: Which is a doll made of iron and you put a nickel steel garabato for Obatala. TO STOP ENEMIES: Prepare three balls of picadillo made of raw animal meat, amala, epo, the names of your enemies inside. Three days later take to the three corners and throw them onto the last one, throw oi and when you return to the house throw oi on your Elegbara. FOR STOMACH DISEASES: Give an eure fun fun to Obatala and with it you cover the leri of the eure and through the night you put it over your stomach with ori and efun for four days tied with an asho fun fun. Then you take it to a hillock. For this Ifa you get a piece of pig meat, clean the person with it and place it for the Ogun; give an eyele dun dun to Ogun. Then the eran of elede and the ara of the eyele are buried in the mountain so that Ofun Nalbe may live in the World without disease. Here the akuko won the fight with the Aya and that is how Obatala lost and had to retire the sentence he had thrown on him, that the World would en due to the lack of respect that the young men had given him. Take care of Curses from a gray-haired person for having stolen money or a woman from him or for not respecting him. Here you give akuko fun fun to Obatala. Ofun Nalbe lived with Babalu-Aye in a shack outside of town that looked onto the bottom of the sea.

609

Ofun Nalbe began to ingest alcoholic beverages and when he arrived drunk he would sleep on Babalu-Ayes mat and would vomit on it. Babalu-Aye told him about his bad behavior but Ofun Nalbe did not pay attention to him. One day Babalu-Aye got tired of enduring this and one night when Ofun Nalbe arrived drunk and layed down on his mat, he waited until he fell asleep. Then he rolled up the mat, took him out of the house and threw him in the Sea. And that is how Ofun Nalbe drowned to death. Note: People are tired of enduring your lack of consideration, you abusing their trust, and they will catch you while you are unprepared and will kill you. Ofun Nalbe stole the eure dun dun from Obatala and this one cursed him saying: You will always be sick to your stomach and I will never eat eure dun dun. Here children inherit the Vices of their Parents. The son ends up changing or living with vice like his father or mother. Ofun Nalbe: Speaks of deceit in women, because they do not fulfill afterward. Be careful with a woman falling in love with your or becoming infatuated with you and then persecutes you in front of her husband. A woman died in love with you and this now disrupts your life with your current wife. One woman died while in love with another woman and now disrupts her life with her current husband. Obini: You cannot marry army-men or with drunks because they could kill you, since you have a tendency to die of bullet wounds. Do not throw anyones defects in their face. Love Orunmila and Obatala and take good care of your daughters so they are not deceived. Give two adie to Oshun. Kofibori with: Artemisa, canutillo (ewe karodo) and yagruma (ewe baiyeku).

Get the ota from the river and give it Obi Omi Tutu to know if it is Eshu Laborni and if it eats with the Leri of the interested person, calling Oshun and Eshu Laborni. When you have the ota give it a jio jio, an eyele and an osiadie canton, eku, eya, epo, agbado, oi.

The Owner of this Ifa has the power of being understood in the Deep Secrets of Egun. This is where Iku Alashon sat at the table completely dressed in black and in the other head of the table sat Olofin dressed in shining white with the Diadem of Oloyo in his leri and Eshu Ashijuelu was the porter. When Ofun Yemilo and Osain arrived, Eshu Ashikuelu played a large bell and hitting the floor with his staff he sang: Peremi Ew Dide laweni Ob dide Iku unlo. Then they threw efun and covered the joro joro. Then Olofin, Iku alasho, Osain and Ofun Yemilo prepared the carriage with the corpse of Akambi Oba and brought him to the foot of an aragba next to the river with medilogun eyele fun fun and they put Erupin keke on him and sent him to Odo, so that another Oba could govern in the Land of Kumaku. Here the Farewell to Oba was created with the Ceremonies that have to be made for him, to later Consecrate a New Oba. Here the Picking up of Plates was created and why the ota of the Oshas and Orishas go to the river when the owner leaves. Ofun Yemilo lives worried about his lazy Nature, for excessive sex. The physical destruction of Ofun Yemilo because the woman mamu his oko. Ofun Yemilo to resolve his problem of Sexual Laziness has to Receive Osain. Here the obini likes to mamu oko and ofikaletrupon for Idi. This Ifa determines that they pay fairly for sinners. Because here Iku could not bring the person he came to get, but he took the first one that passed around there.

612

It is possible that someone may have Fixed a changed Saint for the Owner of this Ifa. The Owner of this Ifa shouls always have a ball of Efun in his pockets and smear it on his face and on his hands to deceive Iku.

Once Orunmila called two Awoses to name them leaders. The Ceremonies lasted three months and when they finished, the new leaders had to visit all the other Awoses.

616

In order to visit all the different Lands they embarked on a boat, but they did not have an oarsman. One of the heads said to the other one: Rema Tu. The other one said: I am also a leader, you can row if you want. In that discussion they both decided to row, but when one got tired he no longer rowed and the other one could not controlled. And that is how the boat sunk and they all drowned. When Orunmila found out what happened, said: I do not need them anymore because they are dead. It would be better that while namingame the successive leaders they be given servants. Olofin accepted and that is why there are legacies all over the world.

The Womand is a crook. Obatala had a daughter who was very curious and he did not let her out of the house, and he always had her dressed in white. One day Obatala went shopping and the girl opened the door and went out to walk through the city. When she wanted to return she couldnt and the more she looked for the house the more she got lost. Obatala returned from shopping and noticed his daughter missing and began to cry, then he sent his servants to look for her. The girl had already reached the outskirts of the city and was directed towards a carbon mine there was around there. In the mine there were many men working and when they came out of there full of grime they stained the girls white clothes, turning her black. The servants of Obatala who were still looking saw her and did not recognize her but she recognized them and stayed quiet because she wanted to see the inside of the mine. The girl entered the mine trying to see it all and fell into a hole and getting lost.

One day Orunmila made himself a Sodde and saw this Ifa that recommended for him to look very well, because the Eboses that he would make his godchildren and clients were not working, because they would never arrive at their destination. And Orunmila began to doubt the loyalty of his servant Ofun Di and he called Odi Fumbo and asked (Where is Ofun Di since I sent him to take an ebo and he has yet to return? Odi Fumbo answered: Bab, Ofun Di is stealing the things in the ebo. Orunmila noticed that Ofun Di was a stealer and that his eboses would not take effect and his children could not prosper. Then he said to Odi Fumbo: You will be here forever to seal the eboses. When Ofun Di returned to Orunmilas house and aware of the problem, he said to Odi Fumbo: You are a trator because you betrayed me Odi Fumbo answered: You are the trator for having betrayed Orunmila and Olofin, since you were trusted by both of them.

Awo Kekere ofa opepei aami dede adifafun Obatala umbatibini eyele lebo, ori, eyele, akuko lebo. Maferefun. Eshu. Here the dispute took place between the WIND AND THE SUN. It is a Cursed Oddun. The person fights with his Elders. A woman is your worse enemy. The Iruke of Orunmila was born. The Spirit of this Oddun is called Okolo. It is where Olofin gives Power to defeat your enemies. The enemy curses us and will kill himself with those same curses. This is where the Power of the Spiritual Double that is in the sky is rooted. (Enikejire Orun), which is the one that takes root on the body; that is why the Leri, that is orisha Lagbatoni is older than Orisha himself. When a son of this Ifa dies, you prepare sarao of eko during nine days in a row and you take allow in the house blood family members and those related to you through religion and, what is left over every day you can throw intoa a small container and in nine days you take it to the tomb, of the deceased Awo.

The Great Secret of Shakuan was born, that before being Azonwanu another one had to die to be reborn like this one. Before he was called Kelejewe Kuto.

623

The reason why we make Ebo was born. This is where Shakuan put himself on the path to Another Land where they crowned. Says: That there is War among the Powerful and that War will persecute you, because you will be the one to suffer the consequences of this. This is where the Devil spoke with Iku and with Arun so they would make the people ill and kill them to end with Humanity and they refused to comply, because they only obeyed Olofin. For osobo the person intends to do something evil, in detriment of others that surround him. THE WAX DOLL: The person is alive thanks to the Ceremony or the Judgment that was made for him before Shakuan when he was very sick. Speaks of a wax Doll that you have or must look for to dedicate it to an Osha or to a Spiritual Entity. The day that you abandon it or the doll is destroyed the person will also be destroyed.

Pray the Leri of the person without eyele meyi fun that the eyebale falls wasted by the loaded agboran.

Ifa of Disillusion: Never expect anything good from the young man that you are raising, or from his elders, because they are ungrateful. Expext more bad than good from all of them. Be careful with what you hear, because everything that you hear you cannot comment. Do not uncover anything that is covered or hidden, be careful not to injure your hands. Take care of Eshu.

There was an Awo who was very intelligent and the rest were jealous of him and when he became aware of this, he separated from them and went to live in the country. When Orunmila saw that he needed Ofun Sun Sun he looked for Eshu Ni in the city, so that he would succeed in makin gOfun Sun sun to return to the city. Eshu Ni went to Obatalas house and while he was sleeping he made him have a dream about his son Ofun Sun Sun. The next day Obatala went to the country in search of his omo Ofun Sun Sun and begged him to return to his house, because the Obatala felt very lonely.

627

Ofun Sun Sun returned with Obatala to his house and never left the city again. Ofun Sun Sun was the Awo fo the Land of Orosale, he had a very strong personality and when he was annoyed he would get extremely angry the same when someone wouldnt do what he wanted. Ofun Sun Sun had a son named Oloremi who was also very proud and fussy, and one day he fell in love with a very beautiful young girl and in spite of the advice given by Ifa, that that woman would cause his destruction, he persisted and married her and shortly after she destroyed him. Ofun Sun Sun upon seeing his omo Olemeri destroyed, he became arrogant and his blood went up to his leri and he became cyanotic and his brain shattered, and the confusion in his mind was inducing him to death. When faced with this situation they called Obarra Sun Sun who was his abure and he said: Orunmila Babinu (Orunmila is angry) for the character of your omo Ofun Sun Sun and the only thing that will save him is to give adie meyi fun fun to Ifa.

If he stays with the owo, he cannot spend it until five days later. The enemies of Awo think that he does not know and leave him alone and therefore he defeats them. The dog is thrown a bone so he can entertain himself and the same thing happens to you, you are being entertained. Do not let them entertain you anymore. When the Female Dog is in heat she has dogs behind her that want to enjoy this opportunity and come out with what they want. Once that heat phase is over, the female dog stays alone with her belly, gives birth to her puppies and goes through work alone to raise them. The same thing happens to you, everyone uses you but no one compensates you in any way. Do not let yourself be taken advantage of. Listen to the advice your woman gives you and communicate more with her, so she may pray to her Angel for you. This Ifa is called Ofun Kamala Ishe, which means: Ofun is surrounded by all the work. The house is pursued by witchcraft, to stop it you make Ebo marun together that is brought by atitan of shilikun ile and erita merin del ile. Then one to the door and one to each corner of the house. Here it speaks of a marriage with many children and the youngest one was the one who always worried for everyone in the house, to the extreme that he was the one to resolve all the problems that came up there.

One day the mother got sick, and no matter what was done to help her, she died, but before she died, she called her youngest son and said: My son, I am going to die, but even after death my blessing will reach you. The good Child reaches the Blessings of his Parents. Obatala lived at the top of the hillock and he could not come down from it because he fell ill, but no Saint wanted to go an visit him fearing they would contract the disease. Faced with this situation Babalu-Aye looked for an etu, a white necklace and a silver coin and leaning on his crutches he climbed up the hillock with much difficulty and arrived in front of Obatala and found him lame and almost blind. Babalu-Aye with the silver coin he cleaned his sight and with the etu he made him sarayenye and killed it over his sick leg. Then with the bones of the etu, the necklace and the coin he prepared an Inshe for him. And Obatala recovered his health. For this Ifa there are situations between Internal Malignants; of diseases in the Blood that are Infectious or galloping. In this Ifa there are situation between the godson and the Godfather due to lack of respect, ungratefulness, etc. of the minor toward the elder in general or vice versa. In this last case the youngest one has to be careful what he eats and drinks in the house of the elder, and if he is eating there and something breaks, he should leave immediately, since Babalu-Aye is warning him because he wants to help him. When Awo sees this Ifa he cleans himself with a silver coin, puts it for his Elegbara and then gives it away. Here you call Azonwanu with your appropriate call. Get an ikoko made of mud and throw 17 pieces of Obi with epo on it and its corresponding atare, add dry wine and cover with another okoko, light two itana and call it while playing a cowbell. There you give etu which you grill and eat. With a bone from the left thigh you make afoshe which you tie with bibijaguas, scales of maj, cochinillas, the tongue and eyes of the etu, ewe cundiamor, coralillo, orozus, three juju of gunugun, vergonzosa, three crushed atares, the inside of an inkin, amansaguapo, parami, win the battle, jiqui, moruro, corn flour of water, a silver coin, eku, eya, epo, agrado, everything in iye. Line it and eat etu, osiadie jabado, dry wine, rain water. OFUN KA: Speaks of problems at home. Marks betrayal of the Oluwo or of the Godchild. Do not be stubborn.

Lamp to Azonwanu. Maferefun Obatala, Yemaya, Eshu Ni, Babalu-Aye. Akuko to Eshu Ni. Unyen to Egun and to Shilikun ile. Get and ota, make a line of efun on it and one of osun, put inside a fryer as if it were Elegbara. Look for a matica of ile with its root and fold it in a ring shape and put under the ota, over the ewe tete, ilekan, eku, eya, epo, agbado, 7 ei adie. Cover with an igba and pray. Odibaro Kadun ekuy kikeregbe dekun tete keferegbe edun kadun ile akan bota Obadarikani Eindie kamal mi leri. Obatala wanted the people from Land of Ife to adore the Saint and sent his children to make the propaganda and the people received them with sticks and they had to run away to the mountain and Azonwanu made them his godchildren and Obatala had to go get them. THIS IS WHERE THE ENEMIES OF ORUNMILA WANTED TO PERSECUTE HIM WITH THE EPO. Do not carry epo for sixteen days.

OFUN BATRUPON.

Ofun Batrupon moyete te momo tente mana oyuoro unfo keke adifafun Toye tinshoma oro lebo. Eya-Oro, eyele, etu lebo. Ifa ni maferefun Eshu, Shango ati Ogun. Ofun Batrupon is the Father of Tongues. The different Languages and Dialects were born. The Tower of Babel, where Olofin due to the disobedience of Men separated them into clans by using oral and written expression and they abandoned the construction of the Tower because they did not understand each other. In your house everyone speaks too much and do not understand each other since they do not come to an agreement to be able to live in harmony. Marks: Lack of Union and comprehension. Here the Colored Mamey betrayed Shango. This is the Ifa of the prudent. Do not use weapons of any kind so you do not use them against anyone. Marks sexuall laziness in a Man. Signals religious Tradition in Family. One suffers from Brain and Stomach problems. The person Walks too much. The person uses weapons. The person speak poorly of the Saints and that is why there is Arun. When this Ifa is seen the Awo will blow air upward and toward the sides. This is where the Strength of the Akuko and of the Epeyepe (duck) was born. Your nature is being lazy. Ebo-misi (baths) with: Purple basil, canutillo, frescura and bitter broom. The person is greedy and cannot be understood and does not like to work. People think he is stupid and he is very skillful. Path of the Stupid Devil. The person, because of his uncontrolled greed loses his good Luck. There was a farmer that has some palm trees in his farm that were unknown to him that were growing at the edge of the river and produced a fruit for the unknown. When that river grew no one could pass it because it had short cuts. In one of the growths of the river, the king of that region arrived at that farm and when he was not able to cross the river, he offered the farmer money to cut down one of the palm trees so it would fall over the wide river so he could walk over it and continue his journey. That is what the farmer did. Each time the river grew and people wanted to cross the river they had to pay him so he would cut down a palm tree so they could cross. When the farmer only had two or three palm trees left, he dreamt that they represented a higher value than what he obtained each time he cut one down. The next day the Farmer went to be Seen by Orunmila (with the Awo of the town) and he got this Ifa and the Awo said to him: So that you may be happy in life you need to stop cutting the trees that you cut and follow Ifa. Note: This path determines that Ofun Batrupon does not work Ifa, since he dedicates himself to other works that he finds to be more economically productive, but he lacks happiness. You have to work Ifa so that you know happiness.

Ofun Tempola boyu obe ponibio oku kiro nibide adifafun Alapani akuko, igi langui, akuko, eyele lebo. Ofun Tempola Awo Aye Awo Epo aguntan lebo. Ofun Tar Ifa Adakoy. Ofun To Kola to oyu bad loni adake. This Oddun retires right away. He does not look without money. You have to throw some epo in your mouth before speaking this Ifa. You smear the epo with the irofa so that the Curse that persona has does not reach you. Here the Ram saw Olofin before dying, he raised his eyes to the Heavens and implored. Olofin answered: You are already fulfilled my son, be satisfied; and he gave him his blessing. Here when the Awo goes to sacrifice for Shango, he puts a piece of jobo stick in his mouth or some of those leaves, so that his limb does not loosen. In the tizanas of this Sign one cannot lack Jobo. For this Ifa you have to have an agutan in the house to avoid the change of heads. When you see this Ifa in an Atefa, the lero fo the eure or of Orunmila and the Owunko of the Warriors are buried, but before they are covered with bejuco pareira. This is done to defeat the Arayes, since the bejuco pareira (ewe yenyoko) has the Power to destroy the enemies of that person. Give three eyele to Elede until Oshosi. Awo makes Oparaldo with osiadie meta and you give two ayapa to Shango. For Oshosi you put a Dilongun inside a bag sewed in an arrow. OPARALDO: Make it in the Mountain. An abo keke, two adie dun dun for Orunmila, one osiadie fifeshu, asho fun fun, dun dun and pupua, the ewe and other ingredients.

In the asho pupu you write Ofun To Kola and Osa Guleyo and you tie it in a knot around the neck of the abo keke. In the asho fun fun you paint Otura Niko with carbon. In the asho dun dun the corresponding Atena of the Oparaldo with efun. Rip the clothes off the Awo when he is standing inside the circle and over the fabric. The abo keke is killed by opening it from the throat to the chest, and in the wound you insert the clothes of the Awo. Then the abo keke is wrapped in the fabrics dun dun and fun fun and give Obi Omi Tutu to see if Ebo ada the Stop. Hang the ar from the abo of an igi wrapped in the fabrics and with the head downward and you light four itan in a square (one at each point of an imaginary square). Upon the return to the ile give the osiadie to Elegbara and the two adie dun dun to your Ifa. On the third day make Ita. Here Orishaokos plough locked and no matter how much the bueyes pulled they could not move it, it was because the plough had gotten stuck with a dead person that was stuck there. Make Oparaldo to remove the Obsessive Egun from over top of you. The person for being ungrateful and not wanting to fulfill what was offered, when he decides to comply it will be too late for him. This Ifa speaks of Problems with ones voice, in the Vocal Cords. This is where the Contagiousness of Lepracy was born. This is where babalu-Aye tempted by Alosi by order of Olofin lost all that he had and contracted Lepracy. Later Olofin restored him with the increase of all his riches for having stoicly accepted without protesting or cursing all adversities suffered. And needing a woman he slept with Dad Baani and since his Lepracy was not fully healed yet, he contracted her. INSHE OSAIN OF THE PATH OF THE DREAM OF THE ABO. Give an abo to Egun along with Shango. Then you have to Obori with eyele meyi fun fun, but you sacrifice one in the nape of the Awo and leave it there with asho fun fun.

645

chaing with which you tied the abo is mounted on the Inshe, who drinks dry wine and eats akuko and aparo along with Shango. In this Ifa was born the Power of Shango and the intelligence of Oshosi and Oya. Ebo: Osiadie meta for Oparaldo, Dilogun for Oshosi with arrows, 9 spears that go in the ebo, the ota in the ebo, two ayapa. Put Shango on the floor and give him two ayapas and throw corn flour on him that is cooked with a quibombo and eya tutu. TO RECONCILE ARGUMENTS. Give an eyele to the Earth with eku, eya, epo, obi kola, oi, oti, omi. Choose a frying pan made of mud and in it you put the okokan of the eyele, a paper with the names and surnames of those that argued, ota of iman, azogue, eku, eya, epo, ori, efun, agbado, seven atare, sebo from a cart and light lamps for seven days for the family Egun that is responsible for the Spell. Take out the juice from seven ewe of attraction and you put them in seven pomitos and every day you put one drop of each pomito in the frying pan naming the name of the ewe and naming the person wishing to attract. Ofun Bile the dead behind him. You start things and do not finish them. You have to listen to advice and analyze it, but you cannot let yourself be governed by anyone. You defeat difficulties with intelligence. Your children have stopped visiting you. Ebo: Akuko, eyele, oti, 3 obi, 3 abere..

The Immortality of the Soul. Speaks of Epilepsy especially when a person is sleeping. The Awo has to relate to others to know and not be ignored. It has to be done completely. Orunmila orders that the Awos visit themselves. When Ofun Bile has to give a Saint to another Awo or Iworo, he first has to feed his leri Obi Omi Tutu and then two etu or two eyele (you ask). When you see this Ifa, you are told: That you are going to make a Saint or an Ifa (depending on the case) and that head is larger than yours and before that you have to Orugbo so you do no die. Put an ishu that is whole and raw with epo and an obi for Elegbara and then you throw it in the plaza cut lengthwise. For Osobo Intori Iku you give Shango and akuko with amala. For Babalu-Aye you obtain what you want and that is why you have to receive him. First investigate before doing the things you have pending or that have been recommended to you. The person is going to obtain something large through Luck that will be given by Obatala.

PACT WITH IKU FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: The Awo of this Ifa for your economic development has to make a Pact with Iku (with his Egun). Prepare and agboran loaded with leri of Egun, on the bone of the right thigh of an etu, leri of etu, a piece of brain and testicles of Egun, inzo from a tiger, can of agbani, a fang from an ay filani, okokan of gunugun, a porous ota keke, an odu-ara, three igi of Oluwo-Popo, one oju of owiwi, earth from the cemetery, from a joro joro, palo congo, one caandonga, eku, eya, epo, agbado, eru, obi kola, obi motiwao, aira. After it is loaded bring it to the foot of ope, ceiba, cemetery, river, Sea, hillock and mountain. When you bring it to the mountain you have to make ebo first with a piece of firewood and other ingredients that you have gathered; and you go with this and with the agboran to the mountain, there you burn all your clothes after giving an etu from your leri to the agboran. You get dressed with different clothes, wash the agboran with omiero and take it to your house. You have to take good care of your youngest childe so that Oye does not remove good luck, because she keeps watch over that youngster. Because of this Ifa a woman cannot get dressed in pink or redish clothes. Speaks of a person of age that is bothered when she receives complaints about her children.

OKUNI: Try to be cheerful with your woman so that you do not look delayed. When you are going to deal with woman issues do not joke or tell stories, because among those listening there will be someone that says you like to praise yourself. In your house there are times that you can smell strong odors, that is the Action of Saint Lazaro, who goes to visit you. The Frog lived under a rock and when Orunmila saw this she said to her: You have to make ebo so you do not lose yourself. She answered: I do not fear my enemies. And Orunmila continued on his way. There was a very large family and everyone was dying and the last one was Oyas son, so in order to save him she went to see Orunmila and he made him ebo with: Tools, akuko, eyele, ail. Then Orunmila fed the Heavens and the Earth on one plate. After the ebo put water and bluing on a plate and the eyele and you present the plate to Olorun and you kill the eyele and you throw the eyebale on the plate and in the ebo before closing it. The next Akuko is given to the Earth. This is to enlarge the family.

When the person was born he was abandoned by his parents. Make Ifa. OBINI: You have a life with a lack of sexual control, because your parents did not raise you in the best way and when you become pregnant they will disown you even more. Do not go crazy and do not abandon your child so you do not lose your good luck. Be careful not to be tied up in a tragedy that will present itself and that you will want to finish before it starts. You think that you know a lot and Olofin and Orunmila are the ones who know. The Person makes Spells of Saints without having been Crowned. Be careful not to fall from the bed while sleeping because you can kill yourself. Someone has made a work of a Saint on you and this person is not Consecrated, that is why you have lost your luck. Do not listen to bad advice from your friends so you do not get lost. You have asked for three fortunes and you have to orugbo so you may come out ahead. Give thanks to Yemaya and look to see what she wishes. For this Ifa the newborn gets sick to his stomach because the mother does not wash her breasts before breastfeeding and the baby drinks all the microbes that are on them. Orunmila had a son with a woman named Iyalashe who was mayombera and worked very strong witchcraft, but as a mayombera in the end she was very careless in her personal care. When she was pregnant, she became annoyed with Orunmila and went to live in the mountain, where she worked her Prenda with Eyo (the maja). There she had her son and began to breastfeed him, but during the night Eyo would come out of the Prenda and suckle the milk from her breasts, in the morning she would feed her son without washing her breasts and the boy fell sick to his stomach because he swallowed the poison that Eyo would leave on the mothers breasts. When Orunmila calculated that his son had already been born, he sent Elegbara to the mountain to look for him, because he know that the protection of the mother would endanger the childs health. Elegbara arrived at the mountain and found a child sleeping outside a shack and at the foot of a shrub of cardon next to an Eyo that was taking care of him, the Eyo threw himself on Elegbara and he hung him up with a garabato and made him his slave. He picked up the boy and brought him to Orunmila, but the mother did not try to find out her sons destination or that of her Eyo.

651

When Orunmila saw the boy, he recognized him as his son because through his virtue he saw that he had Ogbegan in his leri. Orunmila made him a Sodde and saw this Ifa for him, Ofun Shewe, who told him that the child had poison inside him. Orunmila made him ebo with: Filtered river water, coral, and crushed jet, a piece of ewe cardon, inzo of eyo, an akuko and two adie dun dun. Then Orunmila prepared an ikoko with the river water, ewe cardon and the coral powder and jet powder and iyefa prayed and he gave it to him to drink and the boy vomited all the poison that he had in his stomach. And the boy was raised healthy and normal under Orunmilas care. Note: During the nights the woman has sex and the man sucks her breasts and in the morning she breastfeeds her son without washing her breasts and she makes him sick because of her poor hygiene. - FIN -
