--Core Messages
Ifa wishes this person well. His things would not be in disarray. He should offer sacrifice for him to access knowledge about treatment using raw leaves for medicine.
In this Odu, the Orisa Ogun arrives to request divination. Ogun is a warrior Orisha who fights for justice and who represents the people some wish to throw away. This Odu (wisdom) speaks of the oldest male child in a nuclear family. An Aremo of a king who comes into power through greed. He brings wickedness and suffering to humanity.
There are two forces that arrive with this king. Wickedness and Suffering. Each one comes up against an Orisha (Ogun and Oosa). But there is one energy who is supreme that removes all negating forces from humanity. It arrives with Ifa (Orunmila the Prophet). That force is raw medicinal leaves.
In 2025, medicinal leaves are used to fight and survive illness, for protection, to fight the oppressor and as ebbo. Medicinal leaves are the Aremo (Supreme Energy) of Ifa. Rather than fight, rather than argue, go and look for (divine on) the leaf that will remedy it. Through medicinal leaves, the world became a better place. Whether it is a cream or lotion, a medicinal concoction, it is medicinal leaves that would even the playing field. Everyone is called to study herbal medicine.
All Ile members who don't have it need to receive Osain bead.
Those who can afford it, should receive Osain.
Ifa wishes this person well. Give Ogun a fresh fish cut into 6 or 9 pieces mixed with plenty palm oil. He would not suffer at the hands of his foes. ifa says money does not determine one's outcome. People mistakenly think money will protect them. It does not and will not.
Must do ebbo.
Ifa says no one knows the number of days they have left on the earth. In the midst of Iyaami and other negating forces, Orunmila gave the ebbo that protected him and all those he loved. Fresh fish, cut into 6 or 9 pieces and covered with palm oil is the sacrifice. Present to Ogun, leave overnight and discard in nature.
Supporting Odus:
--Odi Iwori
Ifa promises wealth to all those who sacrifice. There would be some hard times but wealth will come to all who do ebbo. Some people would come to test his knowledge. He should not be tired of doing good works and should continue in the footsteps of his father. We petition Ifa for wealth in this odu. Ebbo is to Ogbe Iwori on the Opon with physical money and molasses with money buried in earth.
Ifa says, do not disobey your parents in this odu. If they are not living or if you don't have good relationship with them, look to your ancestors. Look to your parents or the person who is like a parent to you for guidance. May all the initiates of Ifa be good and decent priests. May people who do good receive good.
Ifa speaks of a time where many of the people had been stripped of wealth. It seemed like there was no hope. Their benefactor came in and blessed them all with great riches. Ifa comes to bring personal blessings to each person who is present for this reading. It is through practicing the priestly duties that one gets wealth. Ifa brings blessings of wealth through his priests. Ebbo to Olokun of Sea Shell, Plantains, Molasses, Spring Water.
--Otura Ogbe
Ifa wishes this person well and lifts prayers on his behalf. Sacrifice food to the ancestral deity in the Clan. For him to become rich, give homage to the ancestors. He should light a candle at the front and back doors of his house for good things to enter always and to light the path for blessings of the ancestors to come.
Ifa says purchase two mortars and pestles. Buy two white candles. Anoint the one that goes at the front door with shea butter. Anoint the one that goes at the back door with red palm oil. All good fortunes would come into the house.
Ifa says, it is good to be open minded but also to know when to cut people off. In this odu, people intentionally do things to cause havoc and dissension. It is their specific intention to cause misunderstanding, arguments and block progress. Some of these actions can bring great danger. Do ebbo to clear up. Each person is to give goat meat to be offered to Babaluaye and Shango. Sprinkle with Jutia Pescado and feast with Rum. This will stop the kindhearted from being hurt.
Bonus Odu:
Okanran Ogunda-Odu of Redemption
Ifa says, do ebbo to prevent the dissolution of a marriage or committed relationship. Chant this Odu in Yoruba. As a result, the relationship stays solid or a new relationship come to the person who is not already committed.
Ifa says, when Dignitaries or Elders visit, treat them like royalty. Blessings come from entertaining Babalawos, Iyanifa or other Dignitaries. Do not neglect one's Elder.
Reading closed with Ejife. All in balance.
