Ifá says — what Irete Wori tells you

• Seven Ifases are the limit of the Awó of this Odù: from the seventh on, he gradually loses strength. With works, and if Orunmila authorizes it, he can do another seven, and there it ends.
• The knife must be received as quickly as possible, since he and his godfather drift apart; with this Ifá, the godfather never explains to his godson how it is solved.
• The bones and the gallbladder speak, and the illness begins from below; a heart attack also speaks.
• People would like to stain your name; betrayal and envy will always pursue you.
• The bibijagua ant speaks and there is an invisible fire because of the theft of a spouse.
• The peacock declared that he would destroy the world by throwing his eggs.
• The Indian spirits speak and flowers are placed for them.
• The person gets dizzy spells and loses consciousness.
• The father who keeps his daughters away from the world so that no one courts them ends up with the daughter running off with the first one who courts her.
• A woman must not pry into her husband's affairs, because she could faint when she discovers them, like Oshún with the secret of Osain.
• Even with everything in his favor, he may end up in prison because of his own decisions.
• It troubles everyone that the person lives in peace, and for that reason they send witchcraft against her and organize campaigns against her.
• The women lose patience at the man's delay and leave the house, like the three women of Oró.
• David and Solomon speak, father and son and Kings of Israel, together with the three female spirits who sustain the Iyalorde society: Arogbo, Are and Arugbo.
• There is participation in the death of a superior.
• Because of osobo, the person finds it hard to get her affairs resolved, and the spouses will always have conflicts.
• About the three igba (gourds), one with corn, another with a stone and another with water, which teach one to be swift as corn, everlasting as stone and indispensable as water.
• That one should cut one's hair often and prune the trees every year.
• About loans of money: it should never leave either the piggy bank or the pocket; change it first, and that way no one works against it or ruins it.
• About the acacia, which represents immortality: it reminds man that not everything disappears, since the spirit always lives.
• About the three clay jars that go behind the door: they represent Arogbo, Are and Arugbo, all three warrior spirits of the society of the Iyalorde.
• That it is essential to set up the prenda that guards the home, never to reveal its meaning, and that it lives behind the door.
• That the woman does the rogación of the head for the Awó, and the Awó can do hers for her; on that day the woman does not work and only goes to Church to pray before the Blessed Sacrament.
• That the woman who has this Ifá lives with her partner because her spiritual entity is in harmony with him, and she stays by his side as long as that kinship lasts.
• That Ikofafún belongs to the woman and Awofakán to the man, and about wearing the necklaces and cleaning the house with watercress.
• That man should know that woman is not only for intimate life, but should be considered in everything.
• That Orunmila allows the Awó to have a lover, in order to protect the health of his apetebí.
• Herbs of the Odù: orosun, buttercup, rompe saragüey, quita maldición and white bledo.
• About dedicating 4 eggs to Obarabaniregun.
