1. GUIDING ODU FOR 2026-IROSUN OTURA-CORE MESSAGES

Ifa wishes all good persons the fortune of wealth. Great wealth will be returned and distributed in 2026. Wealthy benefactors will share their wealth with recipients. Ifa says, with ebbo, Ifa will protect their private information. Data will not be stolen. Take measures to protect data.

Ebbo for Wealth: Babalawos and Iyanifas should offer pounded yam on a plate to their Ifa pot. Those without Ifa should plant a yam in a jar of water and let it grow.

If it stops growing, they should start another yam. All members/allies should keep water on this yam in jar throughout the year for the blessing of wealth.

Ebbo-All members and allies should offer derecho to Awo Ifadunsin's Ifa as ebbo for wealth and for private information to be protected.

Ifa says, people must behave as Ifa instructs them.

Behavior Ebbo: Ifa's instructs all members and community to be kind-hearted and compassionate. Keep the confidences (private business) of people. Do not gossip. Do not insert yourself where not invited. Communicate with order--talk to who you need to be talking to vs. gossiping to people unrelated to issues. Be generous where able. Be self-sustaining (stop operating in crisis). Guard against judging people without full information. Be loyal to those who are loyal to you. Strive to improve yourself and to breakthrough in areas where you have previously been stuck. Honor your ancestors and Orisha. Do the work to resolve differences. Grow in knowledge of Ifa. That is how Ifa instructs members to act.

Ifa says, complete what you start. Survey yourself for things you have not completed. Decide to either close that thing out or complete it. There are blessings in completing what we start and using our learned knowledge and skill to advance ourselves. DO NOT TEACH WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW!!!! It is disrespectful to the medicine and the medicine will turn on you.

Ifa says, people must honor their ancestral traditions. However, God manifests for you, whatever divine name you call God, give homage to that God recognizing that there is only one God but they might be called by different names.

2. ODU GUIDING RELATIONSHIPS, MARRIAGE AND PARTNERSHIPS IKA OSA

Ifa says there will be good fortune in relationships, partnerships and marriages this year. Those who are married or partnered will be blessed if they stay together. This is not a good year to end relationships unless there is no other alternative. Those who desire a partner will be able to find one. Those who prefer to stay single but wish for a companion will have one. Business relationships and social life is set to flourish in 2026.

Mates, blended families, partnerships must do ebbo together to protect their unit. Also for protection over the life of each person. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. There is power in unions in 2026.

Ifa says healthy relationships will bring good fortune in 2026. Efforts must be made to repair relationships versus shutting down and walking away. Amends must be made where there is hurt and in relationships that are strained.

All parties must listen patiently and respond to each issue that is raised. Resolution must be honored and activated versus pretended. If amends are made properly, forgiveness and reunion must follow. Change must be structured and offense NOT repeated for authentic healing to commence.

Ifa says all members must do ebbo to their own Ori in 2026. This is to bring wealth, to promote self-esteem and to help us recognize our own inherent value. If one's healing is not authentic, invest in therapy and other healing modalities to address areas where trauma prevents you from moving forward.

Ebbo to Ori-All members must offer a Cornish hen to their Ori, leave on a plate on altar for 24 hours and discard in nature. If you have Osun Staff or Ori Pot, place hen on plate and present to staff or Ori pot, after 24 hours discard in nature.

Ebbo to Mothers-Done for Ile Ori Members by Iya Oyaseeke-Grapes, Blueberries and Rum to the Earth for Blessings/Protection from Mothers over relationships.

3. ODU GUIDING HEALING OF ELDERS/YOUTH OSA OSE-AWO IFADUNSIN

Iyanifa Adeloye asked me to divine on harmony in our ẹgbẹ́--family, spiritual family and community. The following odu and core messages came through Shango's dillogun.

Òsá Òsé speaks to how scarcity, conflict and transgenerational lessons (Òsá) are reshaped into deep wealth, sweetness and recognized standing in the community (Òsé). Blessings come rooting (grounding) ourselves in the foundations laid by Egún, Òrìṣà, elders, Égbe, our own Òrì and honoring outstanding debts. We must let our actions and words arise from that seat instead of scattering our lives restlessly searching for the next new thing/person.

Oriki/Reflections:

“I flee from want, I depart from poverty… Don’t you know it is with ìrẹ-leaves that Ifá bathes?” “Òṣá does not offend, Òṣá does not hurt. The one we thought offended us did not offend us.” These two Oriki speak to need for spiritual purification, communication and deep listening.

OSA-OSE-CORE MESSAGES

Harmony is a spiritual covenant, not a convenience. Meaning, good relationships between Elders and community require work.

The spiritual and moral groundwork laid by the ancestors forms the architecture of the present experience. One cannot build their spiritual identity on outside lineages and the ancestors of others while your own dead and living elders are neglected and unclothed. What are you doing to sustain your spiritual and biological lineage? The answer to this question will tell you where you are in this process.

Shango says we must be aware of how we value other people’s ancestors, spiritual lineages and communities while our own people and traditions are treated neglectfully. Materially, we must find ways to support our living elders of spirit and of blood because they are working to ensure that you are provided for.

Shango calls for us to spend time with spiritual and bio Elders. Make time for that visit or at least a phone call. True bonds take time and care to develop.

Shango says we are and must be mutually dependent upon each other and part of a larger spiritual organism. When we fight with each other, it's like the door lock fighting against the door. Shango warns that damage can be caused by haste. When we are not aligned, all are in danger of suffering injury. No one wins when balance between the group is lost.

Osa Ose warns against drifting in life, specifically not being rooted in our own lineages and businesses. Invest in each other and support each other in visible and invisible ways.

Osa Ose speaks of poverty being removed through appeasement of Òrì. Luck often comes by way of a daughters of Yemọja. This odu is also a call to healers, activists and medicine holders who give everything to the community while their own home, ancestors, and resources need upliftment. Balance must be sought with what is given and what is received. It speaks to the offense of those who only show up when they need something.

Osa Ose says there will be many people looking for what Ile Ori has to offer and we must be cautious in choosing who we partner with and give our energies to. Be aware of “greener pastures” mentality. Focus must be on healing self, resolving challenges and building within.

Do not assume that leaving your community, profession or spiritual house will fix what's wrong inside of you. What's broken might be fixed through a ritual and/or spiritual realignment. Ancestral power is supreme when properly venerated; even the Òrìṣà stand back when Egúngún is fed, clothed and armed. Knowledge without sacrifice is useless in this Odu. Compliance with spiritual instruction is the axis of victory, not rank, titles or how “advanced” someone outside of community appears.

This Odu promises wealth beyond our wildest imaginations when we work with Olokun and her mysteries this year. Wealth flows like water and arrives with perfect timing – neither delayed nor premature. Òsá Òsẹ̀ explicitly states that serious spiritual service – traveling, working with or as Awo/Iyanifa, teaching, keeping tradition and community – can and will be materially supported. Financial blessings come from service and collaboration with Elders.

Osa Ose flags recurring issues with people trying to use your name or work to benefit themselves. We should not allow people (including members) to use our name and reputation to do work without proper training and discussion. They are falsely standing on in your shadow or on your reputation. If someone gets initiated elsewhere, let them stand with that teacher or community. All members must be clear about their spiritual affiliation.

Osa Ose warns against intoxication, especially in public, where one’s shadow and dignity are most vulnerable. Osa Ose points to awareness with attending funerals or being too deeply involved in certain death-adjacent situations that impact you energetically and psychically.

Osa Ose holds three great principles – Ajé (wealth), Ọba (authority) and Ifá (wisdom). They descend together; each carrying a piece of the divine order. This Odu encodes the triad of prosperity, governance and divine counsel as interdependent. Wealth requires justice; justice requires wisdom; wisdom requires material grounding.

Ajé (wealth), Ọba (kingly justice), and Ifá (divine wisdom) speak as one; they represent the legitimate voice of creation. Cautions against careless, performative or manipulative speech. Real authority is earned through spiritual backing and sacrifice. Spiritual consultation before collaboration is emphasized as a way to ensure peace and mutual benefit.

Ebbos for Osa Ose:

Any debts to Oshun must be paid. Consider promises you have made to yourself that haven’t been fulfilled. Also truths you need to speak to Oshun with respect and love. You may not be aware of her pain and she may not be aware of your pain.

To Egun: Attend the next White Table

Feed Ori by washing the head with Rosemary Water. If you have Ifá, give the pot Jutia Pescado on a saucer. Leave for 24 hours and discard in trash.

4. ODU GUIDING BUSINESS/MONEY/FINANCE ODI MEJI

Ifa says this person would obtain good fortunes. He would have rest and life would please him. Ifa says he would become renowned. All the little things he is doing in small steady paces would turn out to be big. YES!!!!

Ifa says this is a good year to start a business, join a marketplace, introduce a product or project, publish a book or launch a network. There is success in numbers. There is blessings with being part of companies, your Ile, organizations, fraternal and sorority groups, book clubs and social groups. Choose groups that have longevity, a good conflict resolution policy AND make great wealth. Prosperity centered orgs are the best to join in 2026 as the economy will bounce back to support them.

Ebbo to Iyanifa Adeloye's Yemoja for health and wealth of pork rinds. Iyanifa to offer them at her shrine for entire Ile and allies.

5. ODU GUIDING POLITICAL SITUATION IN AMERICA OGUNDA OFUN

Ifa says, all Ile Ori members must give homage to Obatala (OOSA FUNFUN). Obatala intervenes on the war against indigenous people. Good things in life will get to you. You will be renowned through work and ebbo. You will NEVER be shamed. Ifa says you will rise up from the ashes and receive awards, recognition and money for your good deeds. Hold fast to faith and when word comes down, take action. Maferefun Obatala! Maferefun Obatala all day long!

Ifa says, this is the year of the village. We must become our brother's and sister's keeper. This is not to excuse lazy, capable people or people who are unwilling to do their work to be contributors to family and community. There is a role for everyone and everyone who works, deserves to be fed.

Ifa says, you may find yourself helping or caring for other people's children in 2026. If the woman you are dating gets pregnant, do not argue with her. Do not deny the child.

Even if the child is not biologically yours, you must provide for the child. This is not to decide parental guardianship. This person is not expected to exercise legal rights. But providing for the child will bring great blessings and will avert death from coming to your door.

Ebbo to all Obatala Priests in Ile.

6. ODU GUIDING OPTIMAL HEALTH-IROSUN-IRETE

NOTE: THIS ODU IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE/HIGH PRIORITY.

Ifa wishes this person the good fortune of children, clients and customers which in turn produce the revenue that supports necessary health-centered practices/treatment/vitamins/herbs. Focus of health practices in 2026 is on digestive system and reproductive organs. Must cleanse and clear parasites from body and work to bring reproductive organs and stomach, womb, breasts, prostrate into balance.

Abstain from sex for 14 days (self-pleasure is fine). During this time, engage in a heavy metal detox and parasite cleansing diet. Reference Dr. Elohim Rapha Yahki for videos on parasites. https://www.facebook.com/Dr.YahkiAwakened

Meditate in morning, drink fresh juice (check with doctor to ensure this is okay for you/diabetes), eat only organic food, light exercise, get out in nature and in the sun. Also check ears for wax build up and if you have joint pain or other signs of inflammation, consider 3 day, mucus/inflammation clearing diet if needed.

Study/reflect on your Esentaye, Isefa or Priestly Odu for insights on optimal health. Ile Ori to host workshop in February 2026 to reflect on what each Ita/esentaye says about health and to learn more about health practices.

Leaders of Ile's must do Ebbo to Ifa and Osun on the earth simultaneously.

Ifa says Osun and Ifa will avert death, sickness and loss and all negating energy. Praise God!

Aboru, Aboye, Abosise, Asure Iwori Wofun!
