In the land of Eyeni Aye lived a babalawo born of Oyá and Obatalá Ayaguna. Out of fear of his parents, as a child he ran away to the land of Aye Bawa, which was the home of Eshu Gogoro. His name was Iwori Tuanilara. Eshu went out to eat at the street corners, and the awó sang to him playing a little bell; Eshu granted him all the powers with his blessing and remarked that he had not eaten a rooster for a long time.
One night, in dreams, Iwori Tuanilara received the order to ask the first person who came for three roosters for Eshu. Soon a woman and a man appeared looking for their son. The awó told them they must get three roosters: the black, the red and the white. Looking at them he thought they resembled his parents.
They brought the roosters and the awó offered them to Eshu Gogoro. Afterwards Oyá and Obatalá sang a song, and Eshu, hidden, answered with another. The parents did not know where that voice came from, but they understood its message: they were to return after seven days and would find their son in the house of the diviner who had attended them.
Eshu appeared before Iwori Tuanilara: “Son, you have an entire town in your care, the aleyos, but you needed your parents. You have found them: they are the ones who came here. They will visit you within seven days.”
When the time was up, Oyá and Obatalá returned to Aye Bawa looking for the diviner. Each went shaking an asheré, carrying two vessels of water and calling with a song. On arriving they found Iwori Tuanilara well dressed and of fine bearing, with the cap covered in cowries and the necklace of Eshu, of black and white and of black and red. They also saw the crowd of aleyos waiting for him to be attended.
Obatalá and Oyá realized that this babalawo was their son and said to him: “Eshu Gogoro is your father just as we are, since thanks to him you are a great babalawo with much power.”
Eshu Gogoro, Oyá and Obatalá blessed him and organized a great party at the house. With Eshu Gogoro's permission, Obatalá Ayaguna told him that they would give him a secret, since he had many enemies. Oyá, Obatalá and Eshu prepared that secret for him in a gourd and explained how to use it and how to feed the plant that supports it.
Whoever serves with respect the one who opens his roads receives blessing and power. Parents and son find each other again when each does his part, even if at first they do not recognize one another. Knowledge and protection come also from the one who helped form the son.
Three roosters, one black, another red and another white, which are offered to Eshu Gogoro.
This path has a secret against enemies, which the parents gave their son in a gourd; its load and its use are in the full treatise.
