IRETE ODU IFA

One of the Important works done by Ejiede In heaven was that he made divination for the Pigeon and the swamp before they left heaven. He also made divination for the dried palm fruits chaff.

He advised all three of them to make sacrifice in order to live peacefully and healthily on earth. They were to make sacrifice with one egg, their wearing apparel, Eka, Eko and Ewo or Obobo).

Only the Pigeon and the Palm fruit chaff made the sacrifice as they were directed. The swamp refused to make the sacrifice.

Thereafter they left for the world on getting to the world the Pigeon lived a very peaceful and healthy life, and each time she flew out, she would always shout, Ugbakun, ugbakun, difa fuun, kpakpa kuuru, ounyon, lfani, Okureyin, Okureyin, Okureyin. That is the triumphant cry of the Pigeon to this day, in which she is thanking Orunmila for making divination and sacrifice for her, which made her to stay healthy and that progress lies ahead.

On the other hand the palm fruit chaff also became dry and well, whilst the swamp who refused to make sacrifice remains sick and wet to this day.

When this Odu comes out of divination, the divinee should be advised to collect his used clothes preferably black, adding Pigeon, egg, eko, eka, and Ewo or Obobo for sacrifice in order to become well, if he happens
to be indisposed at the time.

All the materials for the sacrifice will be wrapped up in the black apparel and the parcel is used to rub his body from head to toe and buried in the swamp of the river and he will become surely well.

So you were doing divination for someone and you were videoing it.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

Yes I am serious

Ifa is a pragmatic spiritual science and study of how things come into existence codified a millennia ago by Orunmila Bara Agboniregun "God of wisdom".

It is revealed to Babalawos in the form of what we call “Odu”.

There are 256 such possible combinations "Odu" which can occur when we consult Ifa.

Odu is sometimes referred to as the womb, dark matter consciousness or that which is unseen.

This detailed and pointed study of nature through unveiling and interpreting various signs and symbols contained in allegory is what we call Ifa or the wisdom of nature.

I use either the divining chain known as Opele or the sacred palm or kola nuts called Ikin on the wooden divination tray called Opon Ifá.

I took this video during Ifa divination for a client at my shrine in Benin City, Nigeria.

why shouldn't I eat anything given to me, what is exactly is going on I would like to know before I venture into unfamiliar territory, its just the way I am. help yhur an author on this stuff.

Nothing is free in the spiritual world. If you are given food or meat to eat, they will certainly ask you to give something in return in due time and what they might ask you might be too big or precious for you to give them. All covens have different things they require from their members. So take caution!

Mammy water is a water spirit that is different from Olokun or Osun or Oya or Oba or Yemoja....etc

Although they are all water spirits but they operate differently.

Both Olokun and Mammy Water use similar symbols which represent water and are used as a vehicle into the spiritual world.

I took this video during evocation of Mammy Water in my shrine at Benin City, Nigeria.

Babalawos, do you consider what you do as Magic or Voodoo?

What we do in ATR comprises of all you could think about in Metaphysics and spirituality. Voodoo, Hoodoo, Santeria... etc sprang out from ATR

Timhim:
Are you going to do an Evocation to Physical Plane or to the Astral Plane?

I was serving my ancestors

Efun is a white chalk that is comprised of ground snail shell and white clay. Its usefulness is endless. It can be used to appease the Orisa like Obatala, Orunmila, Olokun, Yemoja... etc because of its white color.

Also, it can be used for magical writings, painting the body during rituals and initiations. It is a very powerful medicine.

I took this video during efun medicine preparation at my shrine in Benin City, Nigeria.

Ancestors are collective spirits of the ancestors who occupy a space in heaven, hence they are called Ará Òrun (Dwellers of heaven). These ancestral spirits are in constant watch of their survivors on earth.

They bless, protect, warn and punish their earthly relatives depending on how their relatives neglect or remember them.

Ancestors are in a special class of divine beings all together and notes that Ancestors did not come from heaven together with the other Orisa and Ebora but entered the world of men at a later stage when the communication between the worlds were crumbled.

Aboru Boye oo Baba kee pee ooo..... Please i will like you to shed more light to ODU IFA OSEEBI IRETE ( ARUGBO IFA ) thanks

Ogboato Aboye Abosisi, I will be teaching this Odu here soon! Babalawos

Ajegbewa:
I have created the topic here baba www.nairaland.com/3970555/irete-odu-ifa

Ok, let me check it now

Ken4Christ:
You write up even gives me stronger evidence that the Bible is truly the only honest book that contains God's word.

Do you think that those who compiled the different books that made up the Bible didn't see this errors? Yes, they did and they didn't not bother to alter them. This shows honesty.

If two reporters go and cover an event, the eye witness report will certainly not be the same though they are likely to give the same valuable information that is needed. Reporting however is much easier in our days than it was back then.

It is therefore not surprising to see discrepancies in figures. They are simply human errors. God will not come down and write the stories for them to document.

If you really want to get critical, try and bring errors in the prophecies made by the prophets of old. Cause, this is where God came in. The prophecies where inspired by the spirit of God. There are hundreds of prophecies about Jesus before he was born and everything happened just the way they were foretold.

The place of Jesus birth was foretold.
His virgin birth was foretold.
His lineage was foretold.
Even the way he was betrayed was foretold.
His death was foretold.
His priesthood was foretold.

And many more prophecies that time and space will not permit me to include here.

But when it comes to historical records of events, there are bound to be errors because they don't have what we have today.

There was no easy mode of transportation to get to the scene of events. Some of the writers may have to rely on some eye witness account.

There was no telephone back then and no radio or television. Reporting events wasn't that easy. And you will not blame God for that. But the message the writers intend to communicate is the same and that is what matters.

The central message of the Bible is about the fall and redemption of mankind.

Most part of the Old Testament dealt with how God related with the Jews. It revealed God's will and purpose for mankind.

The prophets prophesied about the redemption that will come to the Jews and the entire world. The fulfillment of most of them is still in the future.

If over 90% has been fulfilled with amazing accuracies, be rest assured the rest will also be fulfilled.

And you are also part of the fulfillment of Bible prophecies. God knew that people like you will be born who were slain from the foundation of the world. You have set yourself up for destruction and that is your destiny if you continue to toll this line of action.

The Lake of fire prepared for the devil is also waiting to receive you. But if you repent, God will have mercy on you.

Argue with your Ancestors

Can I also use this to become a wizard without going to any Iroko tree?

No, it will not work for you because your spiritual senses are dormant and not active. Don't force yourself because this phase will not work for you. You have to earn it and if by mistake you force yourself and experience it? You might become insane because your body can't absorb the powerful astral energies of IYAMI OSORONGA

chalantmike:
Question directed @ babalowo.

around the time I started following this thread, I think specifically the day I asked a moniker here to explain her concept of black and red witch, I had this transcendent experience, where Its like am asleep and not asleep at the same time,In this state I was listening to a mans voice in Yoruba chanting incantation in Yoruba, with some female voice at the background, here the thing I understood the chanting Buh I don't know it, I don't speak Yoruba, I don't even speak my own language, it felt like something I know without knowing why I know it, after like 5mins the chanting stopped then I went fully into sleeping.

its normal for me to hear voices, music in that state,in a very lucid state, even dance, its normal for me,receive answers stuff like that comes normal to me in trance like state.
Buh this one bothers me cause of one thing, its in Yoruba,I was even listening drumming at one point, I think it started with drumming.

want to know what this could mean, I don't buy into traditional mysticism all that am more of a aqueous type merge between science and magick.psychology explains every thing plainly for me but there is no account of Yoruba chant or drumming in the kind of psychology am into, I don't interact with Yoruba much, I don't watch Nigerian movies not to talk of Yoruba movies, SO WHERE DID MY MIND GET IT FROM, THAT DREAM LIKE EXPERIENCE CAN NOT COME WITHOUT SOMETHING PHYSICAL TO FEED IT, ITS NOT A WARNING, I KNOW HOW MY WARNINGS APPEAR, THERE IS NOTHING IN MY LIFE THAT I CAN LINK TO THAT YORUBA CHANTING AND DRUM STUFF.

When you hear it again, Call IYAMI OSORONGA
(7 times) and you will leave your physical body immediately. Don't be scared, nothing bad will happen to you. When you want to come back to your body, call your full names and you will be in your body within 1 micro second (extremely fast)

Make sure you don't eat or drink anything given to you. I will be expecting your feedback on this thread

Timhim:
Like will the gods kill the woman or curse her.

It depend on the charm taboo that was broken by the woman menstruation blood. In some cases, nothing happens to the woman

Timhim:
But will the women receive any repercussions for their deeds?

What deeds?

Ogboato Aboye Abosisi, your questions should be related to Èjì Ogbè before I can answer them here because this thread is for Èjì Ogbè only

Timhim:
No. I reject it! I had a discussion with some friends about the topic. So I wanted to confirm from you.

Yes, it will neutralize all charms that forbids menstrual blood - fear women!

sonmvayina:
I thought that death was a "she"..rather than a he..the goddess of death and destruction..she is Inanna in babylonian religion, venus is roman and aphrodite in greeks...
She is also Lucifer in the old testament and Mary the mother of Jesus in the new testament..or

This is ATR

Timhim:
Babalawos. Can charms that are inside someone's body through swallowing,incisions or other means be neutralized if menstruation blood is poured on the person?

Funny question! Did anyone pour you menstruation blood?

Reccoxxy:
Aboru Boye o babalawo,

Please sir could you tell me more about Odu Ifa Atepa Iwori. Thanks

Aboye Abosisi, you are welcome. Go through my nairaland posts and check for my Iwori Odu Ifa topic. Thanks

ODU IFA FOR EGUNGUN

Today, I will be teaching you the Odu Ifa of Egungun and I will start with Òtúrúpòn Méji.

Òtúrúpòn Méji speaks about the transmigration of souls and emphasizes that mans spirit leaves the body upon death. This Òdú also speaks about the funeral rites and gives the reason for the complete covering of body and head to the fact that during the funerals the body are complete covered with cloth.

Ogbéríkúsá (Ogbésá) speaks about how Agbo (the Ram) tried to offer Iki (an honest man) as a sacrifice to the divinities by tricking Iki to engage him self into a game that would lead to his death by deceit.

Three diviners come from heaven to rescue Iki from death and as a consequence Agbo are used as a sacrifice. It speaks accordingly about the types of offerings given to Egúngún and also that Egúngún protect the honest man against deceit.

Ìwòrì Òyèkú speaks about the use of masks and clothing in the masquerades and how this arrangement neutralizes the elements of chaos and untimely death and brings respect and wealth.

The Òdú also speaks about the importance of the family line of Egúngún, from the line of the father.

Ìwòrìdi speaks about principles such as rebirth and immortality and also how Egúngún was considered the force that brought orun and aiye into communication and interaction.

Ìwòrì kó Rekú (Ìwòrì’Yèkú) speaks about impeding danger for death (Ikú) and tell how this can be averted. It is also a sign speaking about the phenomena Abikù, those whoa re born to die, meaning infant death syndrome.

Òbàrà Òsá speaks about how the society of witches threatened to spread discord in aiyé and how Egúngún intervened in order to change this situation, as a good example of the being that make things straight.

Òwònrín Aséyìn (Òwònrínsá) is one of the most interesting Òdùs speaking about the origin of the Egúngún cult. This Òdú speaks about how Edun, a red monkey made a woman pregnant by raping her.

The woman took revenge by again entering the woods and offering her self to the money whereupon he killed the animal and buried it in the woods.

The son she gave birth to became a successful man, in fact a king of his town at the age of twenty.

There was however one much needed fortune that did not manifest for the king, children.

He went to a diviner with this problem who said that this sterility was caused by the neglect of the funeral rites for his dead father. The king’s mother divulged the secret and it was decided that the bones of the Edan should be brought to town for a proper burial.

At night a procession was made and the covered bones of the kings father was brought into the town. In this regard that the word Egúngún means masquerade while the word for bones is egungun.

I would suggest that the linguistic similarity are connected into the “masking of the bones” in harmony with the secrets of the cult. The Edan is also called Eró and this suggest that this Òdù also speaks about the origin of another cult related to Egúngún called Orò given the wild and untamed nature this procession caused.

This specific monkey is reputed to possess incredible magical powers and its cultivation is subject within a side cult of the Egúngún, Agemo, which is based upon the more aggressive nuances of this otherworldly being.

Edan is the cause of the supernatural powers in possession of the priests of the cult of Egúngún. The cult of Oró was unlike Egúngún not headed by the king but the members of the Ogboni society and used in legal disputes, especially in cases touching anti social use of the powers of witchcraft.

The conclusion that Oró therefore is opposing the society of female powers for instance but this is not so. Rather the various cults are in discourse with each other and are established in order to retain a balance between forces, both good and evil.

Òkànràn eléégun (Òkànràn Ògúndá) gives another account of the origins of Egúngún. In this Òdù, Egúngún was the ninth son of Oya, whereupon she received the praise name Iyansan, “mother of nine”, fathered by Sangó.

It speaks about how Oya used the Queen ant as a fertility charm in order to be pregnant and was told to deliver the ninth child inside an anthill.

The ants disfigured the face of the ninth child in such way that the people thought Egúngún was an ébórá and as a spirit of the underworld endowed with supernatural powers.
