I will teach you how you can become an Ogun Priest here and if you want to setup an Ogun shrine, you can contact me.

Ogun like every other Orisas like Olokun, Orunmila, Sango, Osun, Yemoja..... accompanies their worshipers from heaven to earth.

During Ifa divination, Ogun like every other Orisas reveals them-selves in the divination and the client is told by the Awo he is an Ogun Priest that the client should have Ogun and serve it, failure to do so, the client will be afflicted with great misfortunes.

I will tell you a story from Odu Ifa of a man who was an Ogun Priest. The story goes like this:

Before coming to the world, he was advised to make sacrifice to Ogun with cock, dog, tortoise, gourd of palm wine, roasted yam, rat, fish and snail.

He did the sacrifice after which Ogun agreed to accompany him to the world.

He came out of the town of Oduru where he began to operate as a black-smith and as an Ogun priest.

When it was time for him to marry, he traveled to lbadan to take the daughter of a divine priest for a wife.

The woman did not bear him a child for a long time. When patience gave way to anxiety, they decided to go for divination on what to do to have a chi!d.

The diviner told them that between the home town of the woman and Oduru lay a river. They were to make sacrifice to the river and promise what to give to it if the woman was able to have a child.

In fact, the diviner told them to serve the river with crushed yam and cowries and to promise to serve it with whatever they could afford, when their desire materialized.

As they were returning from Ibadan, they stopped by the side of the river. The man prayed with the crushed yam and cowries and promised to bring a goat to the river if his wife could have a child.

On the other hand, the wife was so excited at the prospect of having a child that she unwittingly promised to offer herself as thanksgiving to the river if she had a child.

The husband was annoyed when he heard what she promised, reminding her that the diviner had warned them not to pledge what they would not conveniently be able to pay.

When they eventually got home, the woman became pregnant at the end of that month.

When the pregnancy was months old, she traveled to her parents home at lbadan to prepare for delivery.

She gave birth to a male child eventually, followed in quick succession by four other children. They had five children altogether.

The husband became a famous soldier and warrior, having many wives and slaves.

Meanwhile, the man sent his senior wife and children to her father-in-law when he was going to war, on his return from the battle-field, he traveled through Ibadan to collect his wife and children.

When they got to the bank of the river, they discovered that the river which was previously very shallow, had became very deep.

That was when they remembered the promises they made to the river.

They used to cross it on foot but then discovered that it was getting deeper by every step they moved.

The husband immediately asked his followers to procure a goat which he gave to the river.

Thereafter, the river became even deeper and wider. To appease the river, he got one female war captive, touched his head with his wife's head and threw her into the water.

It soon became clear to them that the river did not accept the captive because she did not drown.

The wife then cut her nails and hair and parceled them for her eldest son to hold.

As she tried to dive into the water, the husband stopped her, preferring to return to lbadan instead of losing her to the river.

As if she was agreeing to the husband's suggestion, she cut loose and dived into the water, which consumed her immediately, after which the river assumed its normal size and depth.

The husband and her children burst into tears and they had to return home in melancholy.

The father of the woman was eventually given the wrong impression that his son-in-law had offered his daughter as sacrifice to the river.

In an attempt to test the veracity of the rumor, he sent two messengers from lbadan to Oduru to find out whether the couple and their children arrived home safely.

When the two messengers arrived at his house, he told them that his senior wife was cooking in the kitchen but that they could not see her.

When they insisted that they could not return without seeing her, he decided to incapacitate them.

He removed the eyes of one them while making the second one deaf, after which they returned home.

When his father-in-law saw the plight of his errand-men, he immediately dispatched a message to his son-in-law to be prepared for war.

War broke out soon after wards as the opposing troops massed on, either side of the river.

The combat was fierce and stiff, war took a large toll of human lives without ending.

The kings of Oduru and lbadan eventually got together to settle the difference between the two families.

The war subsequently ended but the people of Oduru vowed that wherever the inhabitants of Ibadan and Oduru met, it would always be a fight to the death.

It has been said since then that anytime the citizens of the two places travel in the same motor vehicle, canoe..... etc there has always been a fatal crash.

When this Odu therefore appears at Ugbodu, the person should prepare Ogun shrine for himself in the traditional way because he will be an Ogun priest.

He should also give a he-goat to Esu, He should be prepared for an acute misunderstanding with his parents-in-law.
