Christianity EtcWhy Babalawo Charge Money For Divination by Babalawos(op): 4:42pm On Jan 22, 2017
When Iwori Oyeku was leaving heaven for the world, he went to two diviners called Tara ni'agboo and Tara nil'oju.

They advised him to serve Esu with he-goat to avert irresponsible behavior on earth and to avoid the risk of becoming temperamental.

He was to add all eatable materials to the sacrifice. He performed the sacrifice.

On getting to the world, he turned out to be a highly proficient Ifa Priest.

Those he helped prospered exceedingly but he remained poor.

One night, he had a dream in which his guardian spirit appeared to him, asking him whether he was behaving responsibly on earth as he was told before leaving heaven.

His guardian spirit advised him to persuade another Awo to live with him as an auxiliary.

He did as he was told and the assistant advised him to be levying charges on those whom he divined.

Before then, he used to divine and make sacrifices for people without charging any fees.

The Awo also began to divine for Iwori-Oyeku because no diviner can have a clear vision of his personal problems.

With the help of the assisting awo, he began to see the limelight of prosperity.

At the height of his prosperity he made an elaborate feast at which he, sang, in praise of his heavenly and earthly Awos including the assistant who taught him how to operate lucratively as an Ifa Priest.

When this Odu appears at Ugbodu, the person should be advised not to be over-generous and quick-tempered.

If He is not doing very well in his place of work, he should serve Esu with a he-goat and ask his lfa through Ikin divination what he should do to prosper.

When it appears at divination, the person should be advised to learn to accept good advice and to make sacrifice to Esu with a he-goat and all eatable items in order to prosper.

Christianity EtcWhy Babalawo Forbids Pounded Yam (etutu) by Babalawos(op):
It will be recalled that Orunmila was the divinity who inherited the divine necklace of authority (Ude) when God was going to evaporate into thin air.

One day, Orunmila felt so disillusioned that he decided to pound yam by himself.

When the other divinities saw him, they asked what the matter was and he replied that he was so disgusted with the dishonesty of human beings that he did not know who to trust to pound his yam rightly.

When they reminded him that it was forbidden to wear the necklace of authority and do manual labour, he replied that they should not
worry because the condition of the world would improve for better in spite of the evil inclinations of man.

When this Odu comes out at divination for a person who has fallen from grace to grass, he should be told to have his own Ifa and not to worry unduly about his present situation, his condition would improve later for the better

Christianity EtcRe: Fire Divination by Babalawos(op): 8:51am On Jan 19, 2017
The most important work which Iwori-bo'Ogbe did in heaven was the divination he made for INO (FIRE) when he was ill.

It will be recalled that Fire had been driven by the rain to take refuge inside the stone from which it had to be ignited before coming to life.

Meanwhile, Ino went to the wisdom diviner, Orunmila to find out what to do in order to recover his strength and vigour.

He was advised to serve his head in the company of the last born of their mother who happened to be the palm tree (Okpe).

Contrary to the advice of Orunmila, Ino went to his more vociferous elder brother Ogun-Agbede who only spits out fire from his furnace but could not help Ino by himself.

Next, Ino went to Sango-Ogigi to help him in serving his head. SangoOgigi was only able to flash the appearance and shadow (Lightening) of Ino but could not revive him (Fire).

At: that stage, lno went back to Orunmila to complain that his illness did not improVe in spite of the fact that he had tWice served his head.

Orunmila then asked him who was present when he was serving his head.

He retorted that Ogun~Agbede was present on the first occasion while Sango-Ogigi was with him on the second occasion.

When asked whether any of the two relations he mentioned was the last born of his mother, he
remembered that he was supposed to have invited Okpe (palm tree).

Without any further ado, he went home and persuaded Okpe to help him to serve his head.

When Okpe was going to Ino's house for the head serving cetemony, he went in his tattered dress (dried palm leaves)' because he was just returning from the farm.

Ino had scarcely completed his prayers when he was ignited and "set the dress of palm tree ablaze.

That was how fire back came to life and people applauded and rejoiced with him.

Christianity EtcDove And Pigeon Itan: The Power Of Ifa Divination by Babalawos(op): 8:48am On Jan 19, 2017
While in heaven, the Dove (Adaba Lukori) and the Pigeon (Eyele) were sisters born of the same parents.

They had grown to become very pretty but had no children.

One day, Eyele who was the senior of the two, proposed that they should both go to Orummla for divination on what to do to have children.

The pigeon's name in heaven was Elemele Ule while the dove's name was Elemele Oko.

The Dove acquiesced in the suggestion of the Pigeon and they agreed to visit Orunmila the
following morning.

On getting to Orunmila's house, he directed them to one of his Odus (followers) to make divination for them.

The name of the Odu they subsequently went to was Erukpe b'Oni Loju, Madi Ni-Leti, which was the heavenly name of Iwori b'Ogbe.

As they were approaching the house of the diviner, they over heard an altercation between him and his wife.

The argument was so noisy that the two sisters decided to hide behind the Wall for the quarrel to subside.

It soon dawned on them that the couple were quarreling because there were no materials and condiments for cooking on that day.

They also heard when in a bid to pacify her, the diviner told his wife not to worry because divinees would sooner or later come in for divination.

On that note, the wife piped down and withdrew to the back of the house.

Soon afterwards, the Dove and the Pigeon knocked at the door and they were let into the house.

At the subsequent divination, the diviner assured the two of them that they would surely bear children provided they were prepared to make sacrifice.

He advised each of them to make sacrifice with a he goat, a hen, a clay pot, a bundle of fire wood, pepper, a gourd of palm oil, 5 tubers of yam and other cooking condiments.

They were also to serve their heads with a cock by themselves.

On their way home, the Dove asked the Pigeon whether the sacrifice was necessary since it was clear that the diviner only wanted to exploit their problem to provide for what he could not afford to finance in his house

Eyele however told the Adaba not to be so cynical in her approach to the hard realities of life.

She tried in vain to reason with her sister that divining was the man's means of livelihood and there was therefore nothing wrong with what he prescribed for the sacrifice.

Adaba retorted adamantly that she was not too stupid to recognize an hungry diviner when she saw one.

On her part, Eyele promised to arrange for the sacrifice right away.

She went to procure all the materials for the sacrifice and returned later in the afternoon to the diviner's house.

The sacrifice was duly made, after which he served Eyele's head with a cock, telling her to take it home for a small feast to the members of her household.

On her part Adaba got a cock and served her head with it in her house.

The following day, in consonance with the suggestion of the diviner, she took a bundle of fire wood to the top of an oak tree for the purpose of laying her eggs whenever she had the urge to do so.

On the other hand, after completing her sacrifice, the diviner gave the clay pot to Eyele to lay her eggs in whenever she had the urge to do so.

Fourteen days later, the two sisters had become pregnant and had the urge to lay eggs.

After laying two eggs, Adaba went to Eyele to ask how many eggs she laid. Eyele replied that she laid two.

Adaba taunted her sister by teasing that she who made sacrifice laid the same number of eggs as herself who refused to make any.

It should be emphasized that the laying of two eggs was a manifestation of the head she served.

In consonance with the advice of the diviner, Eyele laid her eggs at home inside the pot with which she made sacrifice.

When Adaba subsequently hatched her two eggs she brought forth two lively children.

Once more she went to enquire from her sister whether she had hatched her own eggs.

Eyele replied that she had given birth to two babies.

The dove again sneered that without making sacrifice she had produced two children just like she who made sacrifice.

Meanwhile, Esu asked his friend Ighoroko for the names of people who were advised to make sacrifice but refused.

He was told that the Dove refused to make sacrifice.

Esu allowed the children to grow. Just before the little doves were strong enough to fly, Esu decided to make their mother to reap the
consequences of refusing to make sacrifice.

Esu conjured a tornado to occur and it was so strong that it uprooted several trees including the oak tree on top of which the Dove roosted her young ones.

As the oak tree was falling to the ground, the Dove ran for her life, abandoning her children.

As soon as the tree fell to the ground, Esu soaked the ground with palm oil right up to the nest containing the Dove's young ones.

The palm oil quickly attracted soldier ants which lost no time in feasting on the helpless children of the Dove.

At the dawn of the next morning, the Dove scanned the grounds of the fallen tree only to discover that soldier ants had devoured her two children.

After wondering whether the tornado which ravaged the forest also affected the home where her sister lived.

She decided to visit the Pigeon. When she asked the Pigeon whether the gale storm of the previous night affected them in the house, she gleefully replied that her children and herself were safely concealed inside the clay pot with which Iwori-b'Ogbe made sacrifice for her.

She actually said it in the following words:

Mo fi ori kan kuku meeku
Temi mejeji ko be kuuru kuuru
In other words she was recalling that sacrifice had produced and protected her two children for her.

That is the sound which the pigeon makes when it has cause to dance for pleasure.

On the otber hand, the dove began to cry in the following words;

To kon Teeji Miirji
Iwori bo gbe Ifa Burukuu
Thus, she blamed the loss of her two children on the diviner.

That is the sound of the dove to this day when in agony

When this Odu appears at an initiation ceremony in Ugbodu, the person should be told to prepare the Esu of his Ifa adding all the materials with which the pigeon made sacrifice to avoid the loss of children.

If it is Uree in which case there is no immediate danger foreboded, he should be told to serve his head with a cock in addition to preparing the Esu of his Ifa in the usual way.

If it is Ayeo, the sacrifices should be done immediately to avoid losing children to an accident.

He should also make sacrifice to the night.

He should be advised not to heed the advice of a close female relation because she is not interested in progress.

If on the other hand it, appears at ordinary divination. the person should be advised to wash the incidence of ingratitude from his or her head with a he-goat on Esu shrine.

Christianity EtcRe: The Mysteries Of The Kolanut & The Creation Of The Kolanut Revealed by Babalawos(op): 2:19pm On Dec 10, 2016
THE CREATION OF THE KOLANUT

When God discovered that the divinities were fighting against one another but before it became dear that Esu was responsible for it, He decided to invite, the four most even tempered of 'the divinities.

These were, Peace, Prosperity, Concord and Aiye, the only female divinity created by God.

They deliberated at length on why juniors were no longer respecting seniors as ordained by the Divine Council. They all began to pray for the return of unanimity and rapport.

As they praying for the restoration of harmony, God stretched out right hand and caught the open air. He also stretched His left hand again and caught the open air.

Thereafter, He went outside with His clenched fists and planted the content of the both hands on the ground. He had collected the prayers for harmony and planted it.

The next day, a plant grew on the spot were God planted the prayers He caught in the air. It soon blossomed into a full blown plant and it began to flower and to bear fruits. When the fruits were ripe for harvesting, they began to drop to the ground.

Aiye collected some of the fruits and brought them to God and He told her to go and do whatever she pleased with them. First, roasted. the fruits but they changed texture which made them unpalatable.

Next day, she collected more fruits and cooked them but they also changed colour and so could not be eaten. Others were making similar abortive trials simultaneously.

All, those who tried unsuccessfully to roast and to cook the kolanut fruits eventually trooped to God to report mission impossible. When no one knew what to with the kolanuts.

Elenini (Idoboo), the obstacle Divinity and keeper of God's chamber, volunteered to take custody of the fruits. All the plucked fruits were subsequently surrendered to him.

Elenini then split the casings, cleaned and washed the nuts after which he kept them with leaves to stay fresh for fourteen days.

Thereafter, he began to eat them raw. He waited for another fourteen days, after which he remained hale and hearty.

Subsequently, he brought the fruits to the Divine Council and told everyone that the product of prayer (Obi) could be eaten raw without harmful side-effects.

It was then that God decreed that since it was Elenini, the eldest divinity in His household who succeeded in decoding the puzzle of the product of prayer.

The kolanut should from then on not only become a staple snack in heaven but whenever it was presented, it should be given to the eldest person sitting in the midst of any gathering and its consumption should always be preceded by prayers.

God however proclaimed that a Symbol of prayer, it could only grow in places where people give respect to their elders.

At that meeting of the Divine Council, the first kolanut was split by God Himself and it had two pieces. He took one Piece and gave the other piece to Elenini, the most senior divinity around.

The next one was made up of three pieces which represented the three male divinities who said the prayer that gave birth to the kolanut.

The next one had four pieces included the only woman who was present in the ceremony (Aiye).

The next one had five pieces which included Orisa-Nia (Oghene in Bini).

The next one had six pieces which represented Harmony which was the wish the divine prayers.

The six-piece kolanut was then cut into pieces to go round everybody else at the council.

Subsequently, Aiye brought kolanut to earth where its presence was marked by prayers and where it only germinated and flourished in communities of human beings where there was respect for elders and ancestors and where tradition was glorified

Ofun Oyeku, I call this Odu Ofun Tena which means Odu does press the Road, impresses and imprints which means in turn that Ofun casts, Ofun makes divination.

Cast for the Elder Female Worshiper to be exactly on the day that she was living both in poverty and pain. She took her hoe, went out to gather roots.

But was she going to the good, the right and the very best of place

"Oh yes, you are!" was the reply, "but make ebo {sacrifice} of pigeons and a cutlass and twenty six large bags of cowrie money.

She listened, made the sacrifice alright and went to her farm with trust and confidence, for isn't the ebo {sacrifice} that helps?

Not making offers has never helped a soul. What would you say? Are not that the truth, my friend?

Arriving at the place where she would gather firewood, she saw a dried-out trunk, the remnants of a tree.

"Oh, well, that is good news! I'll dig it out and take it! It's good for a large fire," the Elder Women said.

Straining her muscles she did pull it out from the earth and What was beneath it? She took a closer look and saw a deep, dark hole completely filled with money.

Old Female Worshiper began to shovel money and totally forgot what she'd set out to do. It didn't matter though: from that day onward she was a rich, a very wealthy person.

She danced and sang and praised the group of Babalawo's that earlier that day had said:

"Ofun, well-dressed; light comes on top of dark; the far side of the mountain"

They were the one who cast for our protagonist, who went out to get firewood but found her wealth instead, went home a wealthy woman, immeasurably rich.

She sang: "It's from Ofun that I gathered my riches, the hole was underneath a tree root: no one knew!

I didn't know it either but yet I found the treasure in Ofun's splendid house and took it home with me.

The journey was much shorter than I might have expected.

This shorter journey brought unexpected wealth. My trip was shorter, better, I did not loose but gain."

Now he who knows the way to cast the chain of Ifa, he does not know the road to Ofa town as well.

And he who knows the road to Ofa can't cast Ifa, so just make up your mind whichever of the two you will set course for:

Ifa or Ofa. One of those. Empty is full where treasure can be found, go to the hole, the mountain.

Be smart enough to choose, for no: you can't do both.

Only for those who don't care where their journey will finish, it must be said that each and every road will do.

But if you have a goal or destination, the end is what matters

So wisely choose the road that takes you there.

Why dont you contact a powerful babalawo to consult Ifa for you so that you should know what to do with the bird?


BennieWang:
Greetings Wiseone, sorry for deviating from the topic you are treating on this particular thread, but i seek knowledge in your wealth of wisdom.

At my house here in Lagos, i noticed a barn owl (White head, big bird) built a nest in a broken part of our building, i chased it away, spoilt the nest and after some time i still hear it hooting around, i guess it lives at an abandoned house behind my house, but sometimes at evenings it would perch on our pole or at other the next houses roofs, pls i would like to find it the spiritual meaning and what such bird represents. It looks evil to me buh i dont know if it is.

I would really appreciate your explanation and Insight on this, because i am planning to kill it when next i set eyes on it. Thanks Wiseone

The second book of Odu includes Ogbe combined with the remaining fifteen legs. Combined Odu are read from the right to the left. Each book starts with the primary Odu of that book on the right, then the Odu flips.

For example the first chapter of book two is Ogbe Oyeku, the second chapter of book two is Oyeku Ogbe. Book two then uses this pattern to move through the Odu in sequence as follows:

BOOK TWO

Ogbe Oyeku

Oyeku Ogbe

Ogbe Iwori

Iwori Ogbe

Ogbe Odi

Odi Ogbe

Ogbe Irosun

Irosun Ogbe

Ogbe Owonrin

Owonrin Ogbe

Ogbe Obara

Obara Ogbe

Ogbe Okanran

Okanran Ogbe

Ogbe Ogunda

Ogunda Ogbe

Ogbe Osa

Osa Ogbe

Ogbe Ika

Ika Ogbe

Ogbe Oturupon

Oturupon Ogbe

Ogbe Otura

Otura Ogbe

Ogbe Irete

Irete Ogbe

Ogbe Ose

Ose Ogbe

Ogbe Ofun

Ofun Ogbe

From this point book three is all the verses with Oyeku minus Ogbe Oyeku and Oyeku Ogbe because those two chapters appear in book two. If you understand the structure of the system at this point you should be able to recite the order of sequence of the remaining chapters without having to memorize them by route.

Thank you for reading, leave a comment if you want me to continue......

Magical Calabash Of Sacred Wisdom From The Ancestral Mothers And Magic Inside It We Add Ingredients To Direct Our Intentions To That Which We Want To Birth To Life.

The Intention Is To Offer Practical Guidance To Connect And Work With The Divine Mother Ancestral Wisdom, And To Use It To Empower Lives Today. The Calabash As Symbol For The Womb... Because Of Her Shape, Calabash also Symbolizes The “Womb”. In Both The Sense Of The Female Reproductive Organ As Well As In A Broader Creative Sense.

The calabash shape is taken to represent heaven and earth with an extended meaning representing the entire universe. Within the Calabash there is a mystical zone in the form of an alternate universe or the entrance to another world, and Orisha – Vodun – Spirit immortals and practitioners can travel between these two worlds. The “marriage” of these two substances was a sexual metaphor for the union of semen and menstrual blood to create life.

The top half signifies maleness as well as the sky/heaven–the realm of invisible spirits. The bottom half represents femaleness and the primeval waters out of which the physical world was later created. A mysterious power called Ashe is thought to hold the gourd in space, enabling the sun and moon to shine, wind to blow, fire to burn, rain to fall, rivers to flow, and both living and nonliving things to exist.

This power emanates from a Supreme Deity known as Alashe (‘Owner of Ashe’), Olorun and Olodumare (‘Eternal One and Source of All That Exists’). Assisting Olodumare in administering the universe is a host of deities or nature forces called Orisha Spirit. Said to number four hundred or more, each Orisha personifies an Ashe associated with a natural or cultural phenomenon.

Let me explain further and simplify it. Please overlook my grammatical errors and get the lessons of this teaching......

Odu the female principle imagined as a container, the fourth elemental being to issue forth from the Python’s egg, having grown “Too Old”, expresses her desire to go underground.

Seated on her mysterious cylinder box, she calls her four advisers: “Obatala – Babaluaye – Ogun – Oduduwa”. Gets them to agree on her departure by promising revelations to those of their children ( Awo Orunmila ). who come to solicit her properly in her house in the forest.

This house has become Sphere-Box containing a Calabash (Her Body) which contains in turn the four Calabashes given to her on that occasion by the four advisers.

Obatala gives a Calabash of chalk (Efun) – Babaluaye offers his favorite substance Cam-wood (Osun) – Ogun Offers charcoal (Eedu) – Oduduwa offers Mud (Eere). These gifts imply four roads, four corners of the universe. They are the original four major signs. From one of them will be “born” another first principle, as once Odu from the Python’s egg.

Ofun, the Calabash of Chalk (Efun) who gives himself, produces Obatala the white divinity as: Orisha-nla, greater than, the beginning and the end, first and last, the container of them all. The egg within becomes the womb, passivity becomes creativity personified. Surely this is part of the meaning of the Orisha Obatala as Ofun.

Igbadu becomes an Orisha, the divinity worshiped by Diviners (Olodu) who have attained the highest degree of self-knowledge ( Awo Orunmila ). Only such diviners may install the terribly powerful Calabash of existence.

Irete-Ogbe

“Symbol of the sky and earth in their fecund union, container of the supreme wisdom of Ifa. The Installation of which validates an esoteric principle of universe symbiosis”

Ofun Meji teaches that in the Spiritual Egg, Divine Spirit stands before primordial matter and from their union springs the great Soul of the World. Often connected with the Spiritual Egg is the idea of a sacred bird that drops the Egg into the waters of space.

The Egg was incorporated as a sacred sign in the cosmogony of every humans on the Earth and was revered both on account of it form and it inner mystery. From the earliest mental conceptions of man, it was known as that which represented most successfully the origin and secret of being.

The human egg is the female reproductive element. The egg contains within itself all the essentials for development, leaving the sperm the role of activating an already prepared system.

The Diviners of the house of Orunmila consulted Ifa in order to know the day that he would take Odu as his wife. The Awos of Orunmila said “Hee.” Odu that you wish to take for your wife. A power is in her hands. They said, because of this power Orunmila must make an offering to the earth. In the interest of all of his people. They said, so that with this power, she will not kill and eat him. Orunmila carried the offering outside. At the arrival of Odu, she found the offering in the street. She said, but she did not wish that they should fight with him. She said, she did not want to fight with Orunmila.

From this day, no Diviner is complete without possessing this Odu. One who does not have Odu will not be able to consult Ifa. The day that one comes into possession of Odu, On that day will he become a person that Odu will not allow to suffer.

When the world was first created, it spread out from an original palm tree that stood at the center of the world at Ile-Ife. The palm tree had sixteen branches, which formed the four cardinal points and the sixteen original quarters of Ile-Ife.

In political terms, Oduduwa, the first Oni of Ife, fathered sixteen sons who founded the sixteen original kingdoms of the Yoruba. These represent the sixteen essential life situations with sixteen possible variations each. Orunmila taught the art of divination (Ifa) to his sixteen sons; they, in turn, passed it down to the Awo-Orunmila who practice Ifa today.

Christianity Etc256 Odu Ifa ~ Ifa Religion by Babalawos(op):
There are a number of methods used in Nigeria to organize Odu so there is no correct way to do it; there is only the way of your lineage. I will start by showing you the process as it is done in my lineage.

The easiest way to understand and learn the sequence is to imagine the entire corpus of Odu verses is organized into 16 books. The first book is all, the Odu called meji meaning the right and the left leg are identical.

Book One is as follows:

Ogbe Meji

Oyeku Meji

Iwori Meji

Odi Meji

Irosun Meji

Owonrin Meji

Obara Meji

Okanran Meji

Ogunda Meji

Osa Meji

Ika Meji

Oturupon Meji

Otura Meji

Irete Meji

Ose Meji

Ofun Meji

Once the Odu Meji are memorized in sequence the rest of the Odu are remembered through the use of a simple formula that does not require the route memory of the entire remaining 240 Odu.

The formula is this; the remaining fifteen books of Odu go through all the combinations of a particular single leg, minus the verses that are senior.

Thank you for reading, leave a comment if you want me to continue......
